‘03 Tundra

^ I see the package says not to twist or wring out. I wash my MF’s by hand, so I do a lot of wringing. Oops.

-I clayed the B and C pillars on The Edge. -Applied TACsystem Moonlight to the passenger side rear window...the small one in the rear. -Took an 8” wool buffing pad and metal polish to the diamond plating on a trailer...what a mess. It’s shinier, but the black residue left over pretty much...

I fought some severe etched-in water spots on an ‘06 Volvo Wagon. It was a draw. Gave up and threw a coat of LVR 367 Magnum Wax on the hood. Never made it to the rest of the car. I always believe it going lightest to most aggressive. 3D Water Spot remover, by hand, did zero. Per the...

I am trying to *cough* be respectful to AG as two of the products *cough cough* aren’t sold here...there. Left to right: Wolfgang Über siO2 CarPro Ech2O Xtreme Solutions Jersey Devil Ethos Defy Comparison video is on YouTube. Same name as I use here in the forum. I make no guarantees on...

Anniversary bathed the GT Turbo! Purchased on 12/12/19 10,538 miles on the ODO today. I explicitly told the salesperson and management, “Please, DO NOT WASH the car.” They listened. Thank Buddha!

Yes to everyone’s reply. If we all did the same and thought the same, what would we discuss? I did wax and sealants for years. Then I had a white car and did nothing to it for a couple years. Now I’m running the ceramic train. Kinda describes most my life. [emoji23]

^ I would presume a combination. Unless we could microscopically analyze each swirl and scratch to see which ones penetrated the ceramic coating and went into the clear coat, then decide to polish off the coating and re-coat that panel...we wouldn’t know. What’s the next best thing to do...

CarPro Essence PLUS is a unique siO2 nano coating, made from a distinct blend of ceramic coating repair agents, high gloss quartz resins, and hydrophobic nanoparticles, that will lay down protection on uncoated paint and work as a repair agent on already coated paint! This non-abrasive formula...

Mike, I request that you use the Z1. I had a bear of a time buffing it off on soft-medium paint. Also, I know the way you polish a car is different than my technique, and I’m curious what your experience will be on similar paint. Thanks!

In a monetary-related story... I stuck to my guns and turned down a potential customer who asked to have her car cleaned, “but nothing fancy!” ...via text messages... “Sure, I usually charge $*** for an exterior-interior detail on a vehicle that size. I’ll take $*** off that since you’re a...

“My car is new. Why would I need it detailed?”

Do you think they’ll fit the FLEX light?

Something you may think about for the next time you go through this process, consider doing a long-term ceramic coating. I would not want to deal with this type of paint every 6 to 8 months, as you have stated.

^ Available already? Nice! Does SiC need a top coat like Gliss?

^ 100% agree. And when I see fewer defects under the surgery lighting, I am confident it will look stellar when finished. However, the truth-teller has the final say. That’d be the big lightbulb in the sky. [emoji274] If I’m not working outside, pulling the vehicle out and doing a walk-around...

Got me a FLEX light. Now I can 100% confirm that all that polishing still left some swirls in the finish. Progress, not perfection. #ManagingExpectations #BeKindToTheClearcoat
