    Top coating carpro essence? Carpro reload, 3d hd poxy, or some Meguiars carnauba wax

    I topped with McKees Hydro Blue all summer long and got great results. I've now just topped it with McKees Paint Coating for the winter. I would agree probably better to go with Sio2 Product as it seems like it's a better fit on chemical level

    Correction Level - Estimate Percentage?

    Thanks - yeah Nate isn't really a big deal here in CT -certainly nothing like when they hit FL or the Gulf Coast - it's all just heavy rain - and 35 MPH wind gusts (long duration thunder storm) - but did force me to keep the car inside for coating cure time (My poor Z28 summer driver is stuck...

    Thanks guys - yeah I tried to capture a good picture - those were the two best I could come up with - Pictures seem to be hard to get right, I have to work on that aspect more.... Still sitting in that same spot as Nate has now hit "CT"....

    Carpro Essence first time use???

    I used an Orange Lake County CCS on my Subaru and just yesterday tried Buff & Shine Uro-Fibre on my Audi (7424XP). Both seemed to work fine with no issues - Subaru has Hydro Blue over it - Audi has Mckees Sio2 full Coating. I feel like the Uro-Fibre is a good choice for Essence - the Orange...

    Correction Level - Estimate Percentage?

    Applied Essence using Buff and Shine Uro-Fibre Pads (7424XP) / Coated with Mckees37 Sio2 (New Version): Car is nice and shiny with just a few RIDS left (it's a DD outside 24/7 - so wasn't looking for perfect...) - there is some depth - but if I had to guess it's 60% corrected - As you can see...

    McKees37 Hydro Blue Sio2 Spray

    I've used it on both my Subaru and Audi Wheels - definitely helps with brake dust - but requires upkeep - I'm about a month in and it probably could use a refresh... But I have a gallon of the stuff and it's super easy to re-apply.

    What pressure washer n foam cannon do you use?

    You'll want the highest Gallons/Minute you can find - and with that budget electric is the only real choice.... $250 may be a tight budget for all that is needed... - Pressure Washer - Foam Cannon - Hose - most only come with 20 ft - which is found to be too short - 50 ft recommend so as not...

    Bug and tar removal

    I have good luck with: McKee's 37 Road Kill Bug Remover McKee's 37 Bug Scrubber Let the Scrubbers soak in your wash bucket for ~ 5 min to soften up - meanwhile spray on the Bug Remover and let it sit on the car for the balance of the 5 Min..... Use Scrubber to remove all the splatted...

    Question about tire dressing application

    I can't imagine any tire gel/dressing causing enough slickness to have the tires spin on the wheel? Sounds to me like that would be cause for a warranty issue with the tire manufacturer - and of course replacement tires..... I use Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel - I have never had an issue...

    Can we soaked MF towels in water after each use?

    FYI - I go through about 8 24x24 Towels when I do rinse-less washes - I prefer the Carpro BOA Orange.... Not sure why AG doesn't list them since they carry CarPro Products? But you can try these from AG: 6 Pack Gold Plush Microfiber Towel, 16 x 24 inches (6 for $30) Micro-Restore doesn’t just...

    Foaming pump sprayer

    My hair stylist had one of these: https://www.stylistsprayers.com/ I wonder if they are chemically resistant? Maybe they would work for Waterless/Rinseless Wash?

    Looking to try something new for tires.

    I actually got a sample of that with one of my orders - it works well - lasts about 2/3 weeks - it's a satin style finish with one application but I would bet a second would provide more gloss and darkness. (I prefer stain/no dressy look - so I just use a single application) - will be my goto...

    No sheeting, but lots of beading?

    Yeah - I would agree with Loach - tight beading typically equals better sheeting - FYI - you mentioned Carnuba - stand alone Carnuba Wax is really designed more for high gloss looks with short lived durability... So my guess is while there is still beading your protection is wearing out...
