    Show Car Wax/Sealant

    Let’s say I was at a car show and there was one car that stood out amongst all the rest. I talk to the owner and he discloses his secret as to why his car is glossier, wetter and more reflective than anything I’ve ever seen before. I just might want to use what he does. Polish Angel High...

    Water spots - topper vs coating.

    I can tell you that CarPro Gliss absolutely prevented water spots on my freshly coated car (at the time). I unknowingly parked next to some sprinklers and fortunately they didn’t bake into the surface in the hot summer sun. This was on a passenger side door, not a horizontal surface.

    Water spots - topper vs coating.

    I assume left side has both Lite & Elixer? You didn’t specify. But yes, according to most experts, a stand alone ceramic coating is prone to water spotting. Something I’ve also been thinking about lately… If we constantly top our coated cars off with a topper, are we effectively extending...

    One minute clip of the before and after: Camaro Detail: Before & After - YouTube Hindsight…I didn’t go with the most aggressive compound and pad. Next time, I will at least do a test spot.

    2010 Camaro SS

    I’ve gotten used to saying something like this: “Tunnel washes both clean and ruin your paint simultaneously.” And I’m used to hearing something like this: “My car is new. What could it need?”

    2010 Camaro SS

    So, that’s about it for this detail. A definite gloss improvement, sealed in with the nano resin coating. Vehicle will continue to live outside, a bit of car washing maintenance was explained to the owner. And I am satisfied with what was achieved. Thanks for reading and commenting...

    Dr Beasley’s Porsche Panamera

    I find it is paint / clear coat dependent. Every other time I use it, it’s either pleasurable or a major pain to wipe off. It seems to work better on hard clear and single stage finishes. The worst experience was on a newer Toyota Tundra. No issues on this Porsche, however. Before using NSP Z1...

    P&S Dream Maker review

    ^ Azure, that’s exactly what I did earlier this week. It’s white, but the glossiest white I’ve ever seen.

    P&S Dream Maker review

    Too lazy to Google. Is Dream Maker siO2 based? I started using Bead Maker again on my coated car and I’ve gone blind. In the quest for maximum gloss, it never disappoints.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Tire rotation and thorough cleaning of rubber and wheels. Messed around with some Ech2O, then stopped. Shelby needs a full bath.
