    Knocked out a full correction and coating on a fellow Audi S4 Owners car

    For my S5 I also didn't want to drill into my bumper cover and didn't like the one for a plate that didn't have the chrome accent strips or the tow hook option so I got a hideaway even tho I always keep it exposed. I think it looks better than the other options. here is a photo with it exposed...

    Protecting/Preventing corrosion in my spotless engine and engine bay in my New vehicle

    On mine I used Sonus motor and trim Kote except the painted areas which I did with Hydro2. Seems like a good combination.

    Windshield coating

    Here are some vids I did of mine. The 1st is with WG uber after I cleaned it with an IPA solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YNKmnIOExU The 1st time I hit rain with the Uber on it I was simply amazed at how well it worked going through town at 30~40mph. The second time was after the WG...

    Best Tire Shine Kit?

    I don't really know. This is the 1st car I have used it on and just added another coat last week after 4.5 months because I had a little scrubbed off my front right. I would guess 6 months with just gentle washing. Prior to adding the coat I washed with Reset to get clean and hope it was enough...

    Best Tire Shine Kit?

    I like how long the Tuf Shine coating lasts. The kit contains one of the best tire cleaners and brush I have used. Here is a picture of mine after three months right after I cleaned my rims. I have 2 coats on the tires. My rims are also coated with WG Uber coating. As is my whole car.

    I bought two coatings....what to use first?

    I think you will find both easy to use. I haven't used PBL but have done a few with Uber and a couple with BF CC and the one thing I would advise is have plenty of good lighting. Your vision to me is the most important factor in getting a good finished product your 1st time along with bare paint.

    Cordless battery powered DA polisher?

    If Milwaukee came out with one in their m18 fuel range I believe that would work pretty well. I see they have a rotary 7" out now and would guess it works pretty well. I have a couple of the M18 Fuel tools and they are quite amazing as far as power and battery longevity goes. What I have are a...

    Taking delivery of New Truck / Prep questions

    If it were me I would do the decon and wash like you said and then do a fine machine polish topped with WG Uber coating after a wipe down or an Essence application with a gloss pad. With Uber the application as about as easy as any sealant and the only problem I can see is using too much product...

    Products you wasted your money and time on and why

    Well for me there are a few and I believe that on all but one most forum members will disagree. The main one is BF Crystal Coat, I got it just in time to do my daughters white civic and it was not a good experience. It was a nightmare to level/remove/buff. I at first figured it was user error in...

    New garage lighting.

    Yes those lights are bright, each one has about the same output as a 4 tube florescent. The walls were defiantly 1st of which my son did pretty much everything except the 1st coat of paint and half the 2nd. The lighting isn't done yet even tho it is working I still have more wiring to finish up...

    Pre polish prep, interior dressing?

For the grill and wheels I used hydro2 and all the plastic trim and windshield I used WG uber coating the running boards got some sonus motor & trim kote. For the tires I...

    Garage Help!

    I listed the lumens wrong. They are rated at 6500 not 5600. Here are a couple shots of before and after if the link don't work. None of the pictures really show how bright it is in there. Maybe this link will. Garage 2 by Ancient_11 | Photobucket

    CarPro Essence + Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating question

    That is what I was planning on doing to my car this last spring. From what was said on the carpro forum is that it depends on the paint. If it is used as a finish polish on a 2 step no wipe down is needed but if it is used on a waxed/sealed surface maybe. I ended up doing a 2 step with Menz...

    Buff and Shine Giveaway for July

    I personally like MF pads and these seem to fix at least one problem I have with them and that is the larger interface material. The other is the clarity which if these fix I will use them as my 1st choice. Right now I use MF for compounding/heavy polishing and foam for finishing. If these...
