    Not just a C4 Corvette. A 1990 ZR1 gets pampered and coated!

    I always loved those cars... till I was the only one that could figure out how to work on them in the shop. Man did they suck to work on. Always had fuel system issues and random electrical problems. Typical C4. That color side does look good!! Good work!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How long to allow new car paint to cure before coating?

    I coat a lot of airplanes with paint less than a week old. Modern paints “gas” off much quicker than old. We have never seen an issue in 20 years of painting by applying wax,sealants or coatings on fresh paint. Only thing we see is soft clear. Soft Clear is just harder to buff. Using a DA can...

    Best of both worlds

    You can not go wrong with M105/205 combo. Been using it for years. Recently switched to Clearcut Then the Essence twins to finish. Only problem with M105 is the dust. But they work great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Initial Review: CarPro HydrO2

    I agree. Stuff is awesome. I called my brother to come watch it in action when I applied it. He couldn’t believe it. I have all the hydro product options to use. Love them. I did the bottom of the hull on my fishing boat. It seems to be keeping the bottom clean after river trips. The scum line...

    WACO YMF-5 Bi-Plane detailed with BLACKFIRE

    That’s awesome! I do a lot of aircraft detailing. It’s tedious and hard work. Nothing like doing automotive. Gotta be so careful with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best electric power washer for 200$? +accessories

    I have a new SunJoe SPX 3500. Love it! Accepts standard fittings where the old models did not. It’s nice and quiet. Has plenty of power. My gas washer just sits now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can anyone weigh in on TopCoat F11?

    I tried it. Glad I didn’t pay for it. Friend gifted to me. I could not get it to last more than one wash. Or one rain. Or one week. Lol. It did a good job at gloss and slicking something up. Just did not last at all. And the price of that stuff is out of this world. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light

    I’m in St Joe. In the earlier days of systemX, it wasn’t all that great. But they have stepped it up. My airplane guys have been happy with it. I use the Renegade mostly on planes. I’m still a Cquartz Guy at heart. Might try some Gtech stuff though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light

    I’ve only offered Cquartz to my customers on cars. It’s all I’ve used in my personal car also. Been using systemX with great results so far on airplanes. Their SS is awesome!!! Can be hard to apply for a first timer. It flashes immediately and need to be on top of it, and do small panels. the...

    Airplane Detailing at Autogeek - Using a one step cleaner wax

    That’s got single stage. Clear cut or M105 will work great. Been using clear cut recently with awesome results on single stage. I detail a lot of aircraft. The paint is super tough to buff. Best bet is using a rotary with wool pad at first. It will look great!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CarPro Reload as Standalone Sealant - 2 Massive Fails...Any thoughts?

    I’ve used Reload on lots of cars as a stand-alone sealant/quick detailer. My 4Runner is a test pig for stuff like this. I get an easy 3 months of good beading. My dad’s and mother in laws cars have had nothing but Reload and washes with reset for two years. Too much rust to worry about waxing...

    What is the best soap?

    Reset has been my go to for a while. Have a good supply of Megs Gold Class also. I’ve been trying some CarPro SnowX soap. Not sure yet how I like it. I don’t see the purple action like with straight ironX. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have the new SPX3500 model. Much better than the old models. Brushless motor and Standard fittings are nice. Very quiet also. I bought an extra 25’ of the hose. 50’ total. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which Electric Pressure Washer

    I’ve been real happy with my SunJoe SPX3500. It’s the new model. Excepts standard fittings. Where the old 3000 series did not. It’s quiet and smooth. I have a Honda Gas model for big jobs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Poison Ivy

    Man. I hate poison ivy. I get it so bad. Never got it till around high school. I had to go in the hospital two years ago for it. It got infected and into my blood. Docs and nurses were in awe over it. Here’s one pic. I won’t post the bad ones. Had it all over so bad. Still can’t figure out where...

    Anyone who does pro detail on weekends while having a regular 5 day 37.5 hour a week job?

    I work a 45 hour week at my regular job. Then usually do 1 detail a weekend. Usually full paint correction and interior jobs. I also do detailing for our local airport. I go non stop. Two kids, a 3rd on the way and a wife that works 60 hour weeks. We are crazy, but get it done. Sent from my...

    SONAX Perfect Finish - Fine Cut Polish for Rotary Polishers

    I’ve used probably a gallon of perfect finish, cut max, and 04-06 at one of the paint shops I do work for. All work well. Perfect Finish is real good on a rotary. Leaves a real good finish for a final sealer with a DA. I still like other products though. Clear Cut is awesome! And I still love...

    Got rid of my Overpriced Karcher PW and bought a Cheap Ryobi & Upgraded it... way better setup!!

    I’m really happy with my SunJoe SPX3500. Quality seems really good. Nice and quiet. Hose is very flexible. All materials seem strong. Sunjoe have had really good reviews for a while. I have a Subaru gas power washer for bigger jobs. Things a beast.

    Is iron X really needed?

    Car was brand new when I coated it. I did decontaminate the paint before coating. Reset, IronX, then 2 stage polish with carpro eraser used to clean. 1 month old car at the time.
