I did black light and then jet seal on my 12 black silverado and it came out awesome. Did that in January. I live in illinois and it's been through alot of salt and grime and it's till shining great and sheeting water off like crazy. I like the chemical guys products. I hear a lot of people...

And I've read that article on you saying about the to different people. Definately opened my eyes up to what I have been doing.

@mike I've recently been doing it on side as extra cash flow. I'm doing some scratch and swirl removal to mostly family and friends cars. Other wise I'm normally just doing a wash\clay/wax. Just trying to gear up for an upcoming black truck I'm doing and don't wanna have to fork out the...

400 grit? Dang

Been doing some paint correction on the side and have been really looking into a depthness gauge. Any suggestions? Something for the average detailer to use that won't break the bank? Ever since I seen the sticky note thickness thread for Clearcoat it's made me wonder how far to push it. I...

I mean it has done a pretty decent job. But at the same time I'm seeing light swirling in his paint. If I was to take it off I'd prob try chemical guys v38 first and maybe vss to remove all the scratches. They aren't bad at all but still noticeable. And then try applying C quartz uk. I just...

@funx650 are you talking just a light polish or a heavier one. Sorry for the newb questions

And sorry I should of said that Ziebart is the name of the company and they apply their diamond gloss coating. They do window tinting and rust proofing. They charge close to $500 for the first time and then like $150-200 every year after.

I'm not sure what they used. I'm trying to save him money by not going there and supplying the same service for way less. I'm just guessing at what they use.

I feel like my buddy is getting hosed on this deal with ziebart diamond gloss by having to pay them every year to get his truck recoated. Does anyone know what they use or how to remove it? I'm guessing they use something like crystal serum light or c quartz UK to protect the vehicle but not...

Love my foam cannon and my knock off foam gun. I'd rather use the cannon due to my truck gets filthy. Plus I have black so I feel it makes it less likely to get scratched. Well in my head anyways. Just b have to have a higher psi pressure washer for the cannon to work also. In the end your choice

@puckman thank you for clearing that up. But what about applying wax and having particles come off into the pad when waxing?

I've never heard of the baggie test until a couple days ago and haven't tried it

I always Clay before I wax. That a bad thing?

Chemical guys or a local detailers brand.

Are there any bad things about claying a car? All in all using the proper technique and enough lube? Can you Clay to much with a medium grade and damage paint or clear coat? I only usually use medium and light on my truck. Thanks in advance

That helped. I've heard gm paint is rock solid and just never knew. I don't wanna have to get it repainted Is all. I've owned it since new and never had any heavy buffing done on it. The vss which breaks down to a final polish is the most I've used on it. Never had paint come on my pad or...

I bought a 12 silverado back in 2012 and have always had a pain keeping it scratch free.(BLACK METALLIC) This past winter I bought a Porter Cable 7424xp and practiced on my spare door to test on. Was using a chemical guys hex logic orange pad and their VSS line. Came out with good results in my...

I have not tried any menzerna products at all

@red hawk wax doesn't yellow over time being on the windshield?
