    Finished my first official week.

    I agree, I did marketing for many years. The groupon/coupon ads don't promote faithfulness, they promote the cheap coupon clippers. They will leave your services for the next coupon/deal as soon as it's out. Word of mouth and return customer promotions is where it's at. Get email addresses...

    Rupes 21 with non-Rupes pads

    I have yet to try the Rupes pads. I've used my LC and Meg's pads with no issues at all. I actually find them hard to get off of the machine? The complete opposite of "flying off". I am ordering some of the I rupes pads to compare, in the mean time my current supply of pads work great.

    Black Magic GTI Scratch Assistance needed :(

    Yes and no, Very minimal experience with wet sanding. What I typically do is you tube search, find a reputable tutorial, then try it on a small area with very light pressure (like a quarter size test spot) then correct with the rupes and repeat. I error on the side of cautious. Any tips?

    Optimum Finish Polish Review.........

    Great review, I too would have liked to see a sun/halogen shot but enjoyed the pics you posted. I love this stuff! It makes the metallic in my Black magic GTI really pop! I've used it with an LC orange pad and the cut it pretty decent. It finished off perfectly with the orange pad/rupes.

    Paint coating. Which one???

    The good new is (like zmcgovern45 said) there is no "bad" choice. These products are a blessing as they make owning a black car manageable and actually enjoyable! I have (3). My motorcycle, SUV and Car are all black. 10 years ago, I would have driven myself to a nut house trying to maintain...

    Paint coating. Which one???

    I agree! I tried and LOVED the Opti-coat last year. But if what I'm reading and seeing is true, the Cquartz and CQUK do have a bit more gloss, I like more gloss! I like how someone in this thread referenced it as an "un-realistic gloss". That's exactly what want!

    Paint coating. Which one???

    Is it just me or are these glass/ceramic coatings popping up like mad! I haven't even heard of the CQUK yet, lol. I've always enjoyed experimenting with the latest and greatest products but this is getting expensive!
