    Protecting Anodized Aluminum

    I’ve also seen Mike P. recommend Gtechniq - C5 Wheel Armour for anodized surfaces.

    Protecting Anodized Aluminum

    I’ve been looking around and researching matte/anodized for a while… the GYEON Quartz Q² Matte Ceramic Matte and Satin Finish Paint, Vinyl, and PPF Coating seems to be a good option. I’ve also heard that a regular coating shouldn’t add much gloss to matte surfaces. Please post if you find a...

    Effect of Humidity on Ceramic/Graphene Coatings

    SpeedoTT I’ve only tried a handful after doing exhaustive research on this site as well as others, and have been happy with CQUK as well as some other more “boutique” offerings that I don’t think are sold on this site. I don’t know if my success is due to the time spent on the forums or just...

    Effect of Humidity on Ceramic/Graphene Coatings

    Speedo, I too am in CO and have coated many cars here. Having never coated a car in high humidity I have no experience, but putting on a coating in CO has never been an issue for me. Ceramic coatings are very nice as long as you prep well beforehand(clean and polish) as a coating will not...

    Meg's D120 Finally Running Out....What To Choose For My Next Glass Cleaner?

    I’ve been using Auto Glym Fast Glass lately. But it’s hard to beat D120 at close to $20 a gallon.

    C8 Corvette

    Performance per $$$ spent is why you buy a Vette, if you’re looking for “fit and finish” you should look somewhere else and you’ll be spending a whole lot more. It’s a beautiful thing for what it is, a potent inexpensive track tool, it could come wrapped in a paper bag and aluminum foil and...

    How to restore the OEM brake calipers

    My suggestion would be to clean well, and (re)paint with a high quality(high-temp) caliper paint. Prep is important, clean well(chemical and mechanical brush), dry well, tape off all the seals and remove the pads, paint High Temp ceramic caliper specific paint. Otherwise that's just how calipers...

    I went for the G15 and have no regrets!

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    Thought I had posted pictures, but I guess not... Correction was performed with the aforementioned pads and Menzerna 2500 and 3500.

    Can't decide between 6" pads vs 5.5

    I use the Rupes 150mm (5.9”) pads with a 5” backing plate and it seems to fit fine with a slight overhang.

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    I used the G15 for about 5 hours today and the head of the machine definitely got hot as I was motoring around speed 5 for a lot of it. It was enough to notice the heat but didn’t seem to affect anything. Most of the M3 is flat but no pad stalls and ample power. Found myself wishing the...

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    Sorry about the news 2W. Here are some initial impressions on the G15. I only had time today for a test drive on a BMW trunk. The trunk was in average shape. I hit it with Menzerna 2500 and a yellow Rupes pad. Did about 2 section passes, on speed 5 and then finished out with 4 passes on speed...

    The car arrives this afternoon. I’ll have time to decon, wash and hopefully start a polish tomorrow... I can hopefully give some initial impressions tomorrow.

    stupid girls and maybe car dings?

    Yeah, it takes a little effort. You need to keep the magnets clean and then use the QD to clean the surface first and not drag the magnet once you “apply” it. But if you take these simple precautions, it’s easy and worth while.

    stupid girls and maybe car dings?

    I have a set of door sized magnets that I painted with color matched paint that I keep in the trunk with a bottle of QD spray for this exact reason. If I’m parking in a sports arena or someplace when I expect people not to be giving a sh-t I hit the door with QD and slap my magnets on the...

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    My G15 arrived today! I unboxed it, and wiped it down well with alcohol to attempt to reduce the risk of any Covid. It will sit in my garage to “air out” until I need to use it on Tuesday when I have an E46 M3 detail for a buddy scheduled to show up.

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    My payment had expired as it had been so long since I placed the order, but I called them and gave them new payment info... My G15 should be in the mail!

    What tape to use?

    Fair enough but I think green tape is the least of the forums worries. I have seen many more posts about much more expensive products repped by the place mentioned without much fuss... I guess a rule’s a rule.
