I've got a Black Lariat coming in next week, black leather. I've used Griots 3-1 Leather spray on other cars but smeared in my black F150 but I never picked up a replacement product. Who's using what on black leather? 3d Leather Vinyl and Plastic conditioner?

I previously loved 845 and 476 but left them because of the static/dusting. 845 doesn't effect rubber trim and was good on my black truck for 2-3 months in the VA sun. (no garage). FWIW I still use 845 as my quick wax on client cars because it's so user-friendly.

Re: What I'm doing wrong??? +1 for everyone above. You have deeper RIDS and not enough cut and they are catching your eye.

Well, just finished her up yesterday. Prep was Mikes Meguiars #7 rubdown (3x) then polishing. My winner was Menzerna 400 and LC Purple foamed wool pads, followed up with Menz 3500 with LC White Polishing pad and finished with Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0. I did a test spot with Collinite 845 and...

Glad your ok. Menzerna 3500 and a lake city black pad

Update: I got several care packages this weekend, foam pads, purple foamed wool pads and my XCE 10-8. Earlier in the week, I did a test spot on the trunk with my rotary and a foamed wool pad teamed with Menzerna 400 which turned out fantastic. While I wanted for my XCE, I did Mikes Meguiars #7...

I did order the Supa Beast on one order and the supplies on a second. My goal is to 2 step the 77 Caddy by August and do a car show here in NH, and then 1 car job a month on the side, not for the money but because I like the work. I fall in the enthusiast category :) but when I do good work, I...

I just booked the XCE 10-8 125 (package) and ordered supplies today. $800 in damage in 6 hours :)

With Flex EOLing the 3401 and just about backordered everywhere I'm wondering if anyone has intel to what is replacing the 3401 & timeframe or should I start looking at a Rupes Mille? I need to add a forced rotation to my inventory or Im going to have to bail entirely and add a DO machine with...

Update: Surgery got canceled but rescheduled for Friday so I took the opportunity to do a test spot on the trunk. Meguiars spray clay, then clay bar, and hit the spot with my rotary with a 5 inch Lake city purple foamed wool pad and Menzerna 400. Holy crap did that pad bite and fight. Anyway, 2...

Torn labrum in my hip, hockey injury from 3 years ago. Tis time, the arthritis is already a problem and Im just 41. Straight 29 years of hockey will wear you down I guess. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Ive still got my trusty Dewalt rotary from 2004 and I had a 3401 inbound until my order got canceled this AM. Inventory looks low everywhere. I saw your video on the comet rub down, not sure I need to go that hard. Got some surgery coming up next week that will sideline me until August. I like...

So I think I have my next project for later this summer. A 1977 Cadillac Deville. Its my FIL's car, was bought by his Aunt, driven and put into a shipping container circa 1980. It was occasionally checked over the years for damage but never driven or started. It was pulled in 2018, refreshed...

I hoping for some advice from you guys on my Black 2019 F150. It is kept outside but washed and maintained regularly. Protection since I bought it in March 2020 has been with Collonite 845 in the summer and 845 topped with 476S in the winter. The truck sat on the lot for 7 months before I bought...

Thanks to everyone with the help. There were 5 total spots where the dog dug, I got 4 of the 5 completely removed and the last was a judgement call on how much clear I was willing to lose on a 2 year old car. I used 3000 grit wet dry sand paper followed by Lake City Orange with Menzerna 400...

Hi Guys, new poster, old detailer from the early 2000's but been out of the game for the last 16 years. My wifes poodle got a tennis ball stuck under our new Toyota Sienna and decided to dig his way through my front fascia to get it. I have alot of scratches in the clear coat, only a couple of...
