The couple of single stage paints I was shown how to work on we just used the least aggressive polish that would do the job and a wax. Rule I was taught is you can not ceramic coat them because the paint prep will dull the paint.
On the wheels that have paint, using a wax or sealant is fine...
As mentioned those are not factory. I took off an aftermarket strip off my 03 mustang when I got it 3 years ago. It pulled the paint off. Vinyl is terrible for a car, if doesn't leave ghosting it pulls off paint. I had to repaint my 03 mustang. Cost me about 4k for a repaint at a local body shop...
I did not take the roadshow class, I took the one at Auto Geeks in Florida.
I will testify that Mike does not like sitting and giving you speeches all day. Everyday he hates sitting at the table, you will be doing hands on training in like 30 minutes into the first day!
I had no training or...
I have to show this to my friend, he is picking up a new 2019 Corvette next weekend, he ordered it 8 weeks ago. I told him I will wash and wax it for you, do not let the dealership touch the car! Let it come home dirty!
I agree! Put the 2000 dollars into yourself then someone else. Yes you will need to buy tools but if you are interested in doing your own detailing I suggest taking the class. If you don't care to then have a shop do the work.
But also mentioned, how you are going to wash the truck tells the...
Thanks Mike for this article! Am going to be using Blackfire Ceramic coating on my Uncles Challenger in a few weeks and I can show him this article to help him maintain the ceramic coating.

I love my 3 inch Griot's. Great for hard spots my Flex can't get or too hard to get.
I use lake county pads. On Auto Geek site they are GR-B3-COMBO. I got 2 orange, 2 white, 2 black. I recommend once the pad is on the backing plate to put a magic marker line on the edge of the pad so you can...
The corvette came out looking beautiful! I know production paint is not that thick but I thought it would be better than 3.2 mils! That is GM's halo car not a Camaro at only 3.2 mils! I was thinking 4-5 mils.

Here is a few rear pictures I was finally able to get when the car was outside (THANK YOU Mike for setting up the photos so I do not need photobucket, this was SO much faster!)
Eagles season ticket holder! Know what is funny, its split with people around me on location. Some people consider us South Jersey, some consider us Central Jersey and only consider like Vineland/ Milford area and down as South Jersey!
Thanks Kirby! Was really nice to meet you! I was quite...
That is a real shame. The class I can not say enough good things about it. I feel out of respect to you to at least mention a line of how the class was, everyone learned something. Even a few people that had there own company. You did a fantastic job teaching us and ANYTIME someone asks you for...
