    Garage lights

    Thanks for the feedback. It looks like your garage is a bit larger than 2 car garage? I wonder how many bulbs would be sufficient for regular garage? would that be a good idea to place those not only on the ceiling but on the walls as well (as opposed to using stand up lights)?

    CQUK difficultlies

    I’ve been installing CQUK on my civic for the first time and I can’t say it was a smooth sailing. Ambient temp in the garage was around 65 with humidity in low 40s. The problem is that coating would become sticky the very second it got on the paint. I wouldn’t even be able to level it out with...

    Garage lights

    I just did full pain correction/CQUK coating on my civic and struggled due to extremely poor lightning in my garage. All I had was a portable living room lamp and sun match tool (looks like scangrip but cheaper). It was a nightmare trying the see if all the defect are gone on the grey metallic...

    Rock hard Honda paint

    I guess it depends on the particular car (model) and manufacturing plant. My wifes’s Honda Pilot I worked on last year was very easy to correct with finishing polish (medium cut polish in some spots). Also, paint thickness in these two particular cars is different (much thinner on the pilot)...

    Rock hard Honda paint

    I’ve been hearing a lot how soft and easy to correct Honda paint is. Not sure if that’s all true. Been working on my 2017 Civic for a last couple of days and my god this clear is hard to correct. Started off with finishing polish (mens 3500) as the car had what seemed like light swirls and...

    Thin Honda paint

    Sounds good, will give it a go. I got several polishes but I was just wondering if anyone has good experience with modern Hondas, perhaps some decent knowledge on what works the best. Anyhow, thanks for the feedback folks! Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Thin Honda paint

    The batteries are new and PTG calibrated. Reading on my 17 civic are far more consistent although there’s still some variance to them. The car has been bought brand new and I’ve done one correction about a year ago using Menzerna 2500 (70% of the area) and 3500 the rest. I had PC only at that...

    Thin Honda paint

    Got around my wife’s 16 Pilot and measured the paint. Holy smokes, that paint is thin. The lowest (area near the handles on the doors) it measured 85-90 microns. On average I’d say it measured 100-105 microns and man those numbers were inconsistent across one panel. Really sloppy paint job...

    Honda Pilot 2016/Civic 2017 paint measurements

    So, I've recently purchased Highlinemeter II PTG just to have a better understanding of my cars as well as some one else's in case I ever do commercial detailing. Anyway, I have to admit that it was a great purchase...First of all, I've discovered that two panels on my brand new (picked up with...
