    Black fire wet diamond Sealant not beading well

    You might be having bonding issue. Bonding between glaze and sealant. Sealants sometimes require chemical stripping (IPA wipe down) before application. I had similar issue. Glaze + sealant gives awesome looks. I think if you stick to same brand of products, you will be fine, mixing products...

    CarPro PERL question.

    I recently bought PERL for tires. Since it can be applied to plastic too, I tried it on (un -diluted) on neglected plastic. Transformation is very good, but every time I touch it, it feels oily. Is it because I applied too much? Is it possible to get rid of oily touch, without compromising on...

    2013 BMW 328i: Full Detail + Coating with Pinnacle Black Label

    Tato, before you show the car to customer, make sure he/she stands on soft surface. That way, their jaw wont break (when it falls on the floor after seeing your work). Excellent work. One question though (like always haha!!), how do you detail tail lamp? Which pad/product?

    Menzerna 3 in 1 review in a black Fiat Punto and the Tato Technique

    I haven't use 3 in 1, but I use SF 4000. After polishing (once SF 4000 breaks down and leave a clear yet a oily surface), I let it sit and get dry. Use two microfiber towels, one to clean and other to buff, just like I would do after waxing. Result is amazing smooth finish. @ RPM BR: What I...

    Dusty roads and keeping the car clean

    I'm in same boat as you are in. Unlike you, I live in a dusty and polluted city and car gets covered in layer of dust very very easily. In past I have used collinite 845 wax, but after a while, it sort of attract dust. FinishKare 2180 Ultra Polymer Sealant is what I like. After application, it...

    Polishes and Paint Enhancer

    Personally, I would definitely use it because those menzerna polishes are full of oils. They may need to comeoff before you put protection on the paint. Maybe someone else could answer this and that is; do menzerna's oils need to be wiped away 100% before applying a sealant? IPA/Eraser wipe...

    Should I move my detailing products inside?

    I have a problem. I live in a city where summer temps can rise to 45-46 C and winters can dip to near 2 to 4 C (night temps) in winters. My problem is since I get nearly 9 months of summer, my house doesn't have heating, so how should I go about storage? Inside temps can just be few degree above...

    Polishes and Paint Enhancer

    I suggest Iron X (New car paint at times have Iron contamination) > Clay > SF 4500 (or better SF 4000) > Sealant. Using SF is enough. You wont need the polish enhancer.

    Klasse sealant layering weekly

    1) When I apply sealant, leave it to dry. It starts to haze. Thats when I know its time to buff. I don't use Klasse, so I don't know. You need to apply thin. So, don't worry bout it. Did you apply evenly? Did you cover each section properly? If not, you might want to be on safe side and apply...
