any insight on how the collinite and fuzion compare in durability? Do most users layer collinite on top of a cured sealant?

is 5 minutes long enough for the sealant and wax to cure properly? I am not familiar with griots, but other sealants/waxes need to cure for much longer than 5 minutes before exposing the paint to moisture.

you should definitely try poorboys world bold n bright tire dressing, easy to apply, nice clean finish, durable and no splatter. its only 10.99 dollars on here, i dont even bother with my pinnacle tire dressing anymore since the pb is so easy to use and leaves a nice matte finish, if u want more...

I just used the menzerna poly lock sealant last night for the first time and I was very impressed with the wet look and slickness. In my opinion it looks much better then wg dgps 3.0. It's easy to use compared to wg and much easier use then js109.

Hey, I'm assuming Urban Titanium Metalic is a fairly light silver color which is in contrast to the black spots. Usually black spots are contaminates like road tar or brake dust , how large are the black spots? If they are about the size of a pinhead then claying the paint is the most common...

Interesting post, thanks for taking the time to document this. I like UPGP certainly leaves a nice wet appearance and very easy to apply. Durability and slickness did not disappear after a couple of weeks like with jetseal 109.

When using the finish kare system, is it safe to leave the exterior plastic trim/rubber seals exposed? (edges of my doors have rubber seal) If its not safe, how would these areas be protected? All I can think of is 3m tape however that would be very time consuming and I dont know how effective...

In my opinion the sealant will be not be a substitute for using a finishing polish like PO85RD, if SIP doesnt provide the finish you were looking for then I would do another step with a polish that has less cut. Applying the sealant/wax will add protection and some shine but the paint...

are they the same size as the audi rims? or you went up an inch or two? And to make the thread official,, you should seal the rims with some sealant for some added protection and so you can wash them with just carwash shampoo for a while. Im thinking of going from 19" to 20" ,,22" would be...

nice work, another sealant you will probably like is ultima paint gaurd plus. I applied wg 3.0 sealant to clean paint then added a thin coat of upgp the next time i washed the car, it has nice slickness and looks wet, super easy to apply since its wipe on/walk away

The decon kits claim to remove( dissolve with acid or whatever method) the contaminates so I wonder if claying is even necessary. I have a white car and havent done a decon before I looked into the valugard decon system and watched the instruction video on their site about the process. its a 3...

auditt, I havent used my flex since i purchased it last year and even I know theres a gold LC pad! lol,, very nice job making that paint look wet, I might have to grab some blackfire!! What do you by "clean the paint" when you mentioned the cg ez creme glaze? I used the glaze once and followed...

Nice write-up, easy to follow and great detail. Thanks for the effort.

anyone notice the cobra microfiber mitts are now different then the version sold last year? over a year ago I purchased a great quality bright aqua colored cobra mf mitt. This year their quality, craftsmanship, softness dont match the old mitt in its current one year old condition. why is the...

CacheHX I thought the same thing the first time I noticed those rust colored dots on the paint so I understand your concern. Claying took hours to remove those contaminates because although the surface was smooth as glass after claying the contaminates were still visable (to a lesser extent...

If this were a true auto detailing forum then there should NOT be a restriction on which products/methonds the forum members are allowed to discuss. Ive had a problem with this restriction from the onset. I realized months ago that this "forum" is merely a lame promotional tool and there is...

suede leather in a toyota camry?? much less a suede sun visor, Im not so sure its suede leather. theyre great cars but i think the first step is to 100% accurately identify the material you want to clean. if its upholstry fabric, try woollite and warm water with a slightly damp towel (not too...

The next best thing to a garage would be a car cover. if you know you wont be using the car for a couple of days and you know its going to snow just put the car cover on it. The paint surface has to be clean if youre going using the cover so you can do a norinse wash or use a spray detailer...

another point that hasnt been mentioned in this thread is to make sure the microfiber is 70/30 and not 80/20 ratio of materials used to make it. I have the corbra guzzler HD which is gold with black satin trim. Please watch some of the instructional videos on how to wash and dry your car, they...

Thanks for the info guys. It was 7 months but I felt that the dgps left a warm glow to the paint so that is why i wanted to try a different sealant this time around. I prefer a crisp wet look as opposed to a softer glow ( I hope that makes sense). the 109 did gave me the look I was going...
