    PBL Diamond Coating V2 not beading

    Yes, not quite as tight as if I just waxed or sealed, but probably 80-90% that tight and it stayed like that.

    PBL Diamond Coating V2 not beading

    So I agree you should wash it to judge. But I also wanted to say, even though the instructions say you can apply the coating right after the polish, I did an IPA wipedown afterwards and got a year of tight beading out of PBL V1. I inspected with my uber bright light setup, making sure there...

    BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal (New Formula) - Review

    I have some and overapplied as well. I just followed it with the spray sealant about 30 minutes later and it cleaned up perfectly.

    What's the best you've used on bugs?

    The nose of my Vette is a bug magnet. What I find important is before every drive I spray FK425 on the nose and wipe it off, providing an uber slick surface so the bugs do not immediately bond. Then right when I finish the drive, I spray it down liberally with 50/50 distilled water and Griots...

    Rupes 15 or 21

    Keep the PC and put 3" backing plate for small pads, then get the 21 for large area coverage IMO.

    Dealers car wash

    Its a valid opinion but I doubt it will hold up in a court of law. The OP would have to prove the dealer caused the damage, or that he performed a service he was told not to.

    Review - 303 Automotive Speed Detailer

    I bought the original when it was BOGO and it made a great drying aid. Smelled good too.

    Dealers car wash

    Glaze will just cover it up, the defects will come back when it washes off. Id suggest a professional paint correction. I doubt the dealer will pay though, since you didnt explicitly tell them not to wash it.

    Does ceramic coating interfere with a car's electronics as a ceramic window tint does?

    I believe ceramic window tint are a misnomer and they actually contain metal. Ceramic coatings do not.

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    I really like the leather masters Car Leather protectant. It vanishes to a completely matte finish, has no odor, and even vinyl coated leather feels softer. I clean/protect my drivers seat once a month, the other seats every other month. For cleaning, all I use is Megs interior detailer and a...

    Exactly, its analogous to using MPG to compare the acceleration of vehicles.

    Review: Meguiar's Leather Sealer Kit

    Ive been using "Leather Master Car Interior Leather Protection Cream." on my new Acura's seats. I first clean them with Megs Interior detailer, just like the rest of the interior, then after everything is completely dry I put the Leather Masters on the seats. It dries completely matte, looks...

    Double failure on a 2014 black Nissan Maxima... ugh

    Just wanted to say sorry for the condition of your paint. For every real detailer in this area, there are a few shops that charge 100$ to slap some glaze on a wool pad and rotary and ruin your paint. Its pretty sad and gives the real detailers a bad name. As long as you are not completely...

    OMG Hydro2!! Where have you been all my life?!

    What I would actually like to see, is someone who purchased it for themself, put it on half their hood, and a tough proven sealant like Wolfgang or Powerlock on the other half, and then take photos for 3 months after just washing with no toppers. If it can truly stand up that long, then I...

    OMG Hydro2!! Where have you been all my life?!

    Yeah a lot of people were saying the same things about that Permanon stuff until some un-sponsered comparisons were put up by people who purchased it and it was actually only lasting 2-3 weeks. So I will wait.

    OMG Hydro2!! Where have you been all my life?!

    Ehh, sounds a little too good to be true, so I think I will pass until somebody posts a long term comparison vs a traditional sealant.
