    Cquartz question(or coating in general)

    Yea I know you level it right away basically but if you notice a spot you may have missed it's possible to level it out at the most around 20 min after applying. Where as the DP coating you have hours to get to it as long as you don't park it in the sun.

    CQuartz UK smearing and drying that way

    I find that I do a bit heavier of a coating when I use cquartz and it comes out streak free. My tips are to use their suede towels to initially wipe down after applying and then switch to a standard microfiber towel to buff it perfectly. This seems to give me perfect results every time. Also...

    Cquartz question(or coating in general)

    My first coating I ever applied was the detailers pro coating. It was way super easy but also gave me an idea what I was looking for and there is plenty of time to level high spots. My second coating job ever was cquartz and I had no issues. I have a lot of detailing experience which may have...

    New McCulloch MC1385 Steamer?

    I'm not really highly educated on electrical stuff myself so I'm not sure I can give electrical advice and also with this being more than something small run on low power it can be dangerous to your equipment and yourself if not done correctly. So after stating that if you still want to try it...

    Anyone went from Flex to Rupes?

    I have been using a 3401 for 2 years now and just recently got the griots boss 21. I like the boss for big flat panels. It requires less effort to correct vs the flex where I would have needed to apply much more pressure to the machine. However I could never use just the boss 21 to correct a...

    clear coat burn from scratchx use?

    In my opinion the damage is already done if the clear isn't just hazed or marred. If you have compromised it from the scratch x then it's too late and can't hurt trying to go harder with the polish. The spot may increase in size if the clear is thinning out in the area though.

    clear coat burn from scratchx use?

    Hard to say exactly. The first images make the scratch look pretty deep so it's very possible you are just wearing thin on the clear at this point. If you didn't see any blue on your towel or applicator while polishing it's probably not through the clear coat so that's a positive. Can you get in...

    clear coat burn from scratchx use?

    Really hard to see from the pictures. If it did make it through or damage the clear coat did you notice blue on your towel or pad that you were working in the scratch x with? It's possible scratch x left behind some marring on the finish and it may be repairable using something like meguiars...

    Lightning

    I've had great luck with solution finish on super faded black trim. You could give it a try. If that doesn't work nothing probably will. I'm not familiar with what type of plastic it is on that grill though.

    Removing swirls from hard paint

    For myself I would use more aggressive pad with same polish because I have it all on the shelf ready to go doing work on a more professional level. If you are just doing this stuff on personal vehicles I'm pretty big into the game plan of just using what you have first before spending more money...

    Gelcoat Repair kit was used on Boat. Needs to be refinish/removed.

    Ouch. They went a bit too heavy on the gel coat repair lol. I can't say for sure how low of a grit you will have to go, but you are going to have to probably dip into the 100 something grits to knock that down and then slowly ease up to a fine grit to polish out. Downside is that will leave one...
