I've been very happy with blackfire rinseless. Actually I've got pretty much everything in the blackfire line and have been VERY happy with all of it. I'm a firm believer in using one line of products that way you can be sure everything is compatible. Since you already have a great sealant...

I recently left zaino for blackfire and will never look back. I tried quite a few other brands before breaking down and buying blackfire and I'm so glad I did. The total polish and seal is an amazing AIO. Very easy to work with. The interior cleaner and interior protectant are both awesome...

Ive had good luck with Summit racing brand paint. Very reasonably priced and is pretty decent to work with. For the door jambs id recomend adding a little more reducer than usual. It will let the paint lay a little nicer without a bunch of orange peel and need for wet sanding.

I'm assuming your not taking the doors off. Clean with prep-all really good and scuff with red scotchbright pad everything you can reach. Clean really good again with prep-all. Multiple times if necessary. Hit the hinge area with bulldog adhesion premoter. Get a quart of single stage white...

I've had excellent luck using Duragloss #253. Used it last on a customers neglected 05 Avalanche and was very impressed. Had a very dramatic darkening effect. Turned the pretty much gray side pillars from gray black. Its been three weeks since I treated it and still looks like the day I did...

BAD idea in my opinion. At best you will have a splotchy dry spray and or orange peeled mess. More than likely its not going to bond properly with the factory paint especially in areas like where you are talking about since you can't scuff them and clean them good. It WILL peel off its just a...

Thats been my experience exactly. With the right technique and pad PG is and amazing compound.

I'd have to dissagree that Power Gloss is "rocks in a bottle". It is my go to cutting compount. With the right pad it can finish pretty dang good. I compounded a 07 Corolla the other day and used PG with a white pad on the hood and roof to remove some pretty severe water spots and swirls. It...

Thanks for the info to my question Bob. Seems like OC should work on SS paint judging by that Q&A with Cory and Dr G but they won't say for sure due to lack of testing. The only thing that scares me is the paint becoming a streaky mess like it has with some of the sealants I've tried(zaino...

Chris, will your coating work on modern single stage paint? I'm tiring of polishing water spots and scuffs out of the super sensitive black single stage on my truck. I'm hoping your coating is the answer otherwise its back to the paint booth for some coats of clear.

UTTG. Don't get the hype. Especially not for the price

Oh and to the getting the residue off question. Some say its necessary some say its not. I've done it both ways and not noticed a difference either way. But if it makes you feel better just go back over it with an ipa. I've used prep-all as well.

What color is the car? If its very dark at all UC may leave some having that your going to have to go back over with something finer to get rid of it. In my opinion I would just use a finer finishing polish if your just trying to get rid of the spots and not trying to actually correct any...

I don't own a detail business but I do manage an automotive repair shop. We get the same kind of calls all the time. Our standard procedure for a price shopping call whether we think it is another shop or an actual customer is to first off get the car to us. I try to get as much information...

A product that I am really liking is duragloss 253. I used it this past weekend on a clients neglected 05 avalanche and was thoroughly impressed. I did a couple test spots on the third brake light bridge using the 253 and UTTG to see which one would look the best. The 253 won hands down. It...

Duragloss gets my vote. Coming from megs gold class I think the duragloss is a much better soap. I've used them side by side and the 901 feels slicker, suds better, and cleans better. And I can buy it at my local Parts City for around $20 a gallon. If you check around local one of the...

There's really not much to be worried about when under the hood of a hybrid. When detailing anyway. The orange wires are the high current/amp wires to/from the charging mechanism, main hybrid battery, and the electric motors that drive the hybrid portion of the car. You can touch them all you...

Absolutely. I used po85rd on my wifes new blackberry pearl challenger and it made a difference for sure

Just went into the store and looked at the megs foam pads. Not sure which one you have. I didn't see any megs black smaller than 6.5". Ill say if they are over 5.5" I dont think you will have much correction with the 85rd using a da. Gotta keep the pad rotating to break down the abrasives...

Glad she's ok. That coulda been bad. You know since you already have it you might try the UC on a polishing pad like the lake country flat white pad and then follow up with the 85rd on a white pad. 85 rd may be able to clear the haze up from the UC just fine. Especially if you use UC with...
