    Finishing advice / coatings

    I did the CSL and EXOV4 on my old Golf R. I did not remove any badges (well, I guess there's only one small R on the back). I did the 3 towel method (See video below) Towel 1: Level Towel 2: Some buffing and also going a little further out in case product was 'pushed' to other surfaces...

    Residue on plastic

    Or even the pink one. But seriously, I had wax on some of the black textured trim on my Explorer. Raided the kids school supplies and found a regular pencil with an eraser on the end. Made quick work of the wax.

    Nice. I saw you're looking at selling your Reef Blue hatch though. Hopefully you can/will put more miles on the GT350.

    2019 Camaro ZL1 - Black - 🌴 A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Finest Reserve

    Very nice. I'm not a huge fan of Chevy (my 87 IROC ruined them for me), but that ZL1 is badass.

    Griots ceramic all in one

    Approximately 42 hours after I shook the hell out of it, it's back to its pre-shaken separation. While it's not ideal, I don't think it's a deal breaker for me. After the really good shake, it was unchanged for about 24hrs. If I'm using the product, I might shake it a little more as I work...

    Griots ceramic all in one

    Just doing and experiment to see how long it takes my bottle to separate. I shook it up yesterday morning. It had a layer of 'oil' on top and bottom. Didn't get a picture. When I shook it up, I started just going up and down, but that didn't seem to be doing a lot. I then did the...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I'm having a hard time getting used to not seeing the purty blue, but new car looks sharp.

    Griots ceramic all in one

    Well, I'm in MN and we're finishing up winter, so I could see the freeze/thaw. But, if that's the cause, why did it separate again after shaking it up and putting it inside at ~65F? I'm on the edge to return mine as well (even though I opened it). Or, at least reach out to Griots to get some...

    Opinions On Cquartz UK 3.0 vs Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light vs Gyeon Mohs

    I've only used CSL+EXOV4 and Cquartz SiC (on one door). My CSL+EXOV4 was going strong @ 2 years (but less than 10k miles) and always garaged. Applying CSL/EXO was easier than Cquartz SiC...or at least it was easier to tell when the product was ready to wipe. I had a hard time telling when...

    Interesting. I might hit them up as well since mine looks the same after sitting for a while. If I remember, I'll look at my bottle when I get home. It's been sitting for 2 days.

    Griots ceramic all in one

    Mine looked similar after a week in the basement. Shook the hell out of it and it was back to 'normal' consistency. Couple pics of the hood on my Edge that got a coating of the Ceramic AIO last weekend. Remainder of car has 3-in-1 that's 2, maybe 3 weeks old. Not the greatest beading, but...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Warshed the Ferds. Oh, and I realized I need a wheel/tire cleaner. Wheels still has a film on them after I went at em with Griots Brillaint Finish. My brushes aren't the greatest either.

    Painted block today. Not going to win any awards, but sooooo much better than the green it was.

    Griots ceramic all in one

    I may have done it a little incorrectly when I tried it last weekend. I did the usual section and wipe off like I've done with polish. Maybe I should have let it sit on there for longer? Anyway, water beading on the hood is just as good as any other part of the car which has 3-in-1 spray. I...

    Griots ceramic all in one

    The bottle I picked up was separated as well. I shook it up and looked fine. I don't think it was any more runny than the Megs UP that I have. My 3-in-1 spray has some settling as well and needs a shake before use. My thought is that it's normal.
