Hi everyone, I've really been thinking about this topic a lot, and I hope you can help me. Say you've used Megs 105/205 on your DD, and you have the finish looking good for a DD. So most of the time you would just need like a cleaner polish for the rest of the year or two to maintain the...

Awesome job!! That car is beautiful now!! Just a quick question...is it OK to spray the Sonax wheel cleaner on all the parts like brake rotors, etc that are inside the wheel? I now own an Acura TL, and this is the first car I've ever had with the "open wheel" concept, if you will, and I...

Thanks Mark. Tips like that are so good to know! So would an ONR wash work to remove the oils prior to applying WG DGPS? Or does it have to be a specific car wash soap?

Does Menz power finish finish down LSP ready? If so, what pad is recommended? CCS orange or white? I'll be using a Flex 3401. Just wondering if this would work for me as a 1 step polish instead of doing the whole WG TSR/FG route. Also, would power finish work as my cleaner/paint prep step...

OK, so now I have another question...say I used Klasse AIO, then 2 coats of SG 24 hrs apart to allow for proper curing time. Then a month or two goes by, and I want to apply another coat of SG. Do I need to use the AIO again, then apply the SG? or would it bond properly because not much time...

Thanks guys. I didn't even know that the article on this topic even existed!! But of course I should have known that Mike had this topic covered. I think I now have a better understanding of it all. Go by the manufacturer's instructions, because the products were designed to be used that...

Hi guys, I would like to know...if you are using a sealant like WG DGPS or Klasse, do you always have to use some kind of paint cleaner/polish/AIO before applying the sealant? Do you always need some kind of cleaner step so that the sealant will bond to the paint effectively? If that is the...

Don't mean to hijack this thread...but I have a question about the proper way to prep your paint for BFWD. Do you need to use anything special before you apply this sealant to get the max durability, or is it OK to use it straight after washing without any prep? (assuming your paint doesn't...

Thanks everyone. I haven't tried to dilute the KSG to apply it...but I have applied it with my Flex in the past and I much prefer to do it by hand. It seemed to me that it was easier to remove after doing it by hand than by machine. I will follow all your advice to reduce any type of...

Hi, Will applying KAIO with a tangerine hydrotech pad with a Flex 3401 create any marring? I know the KAIO has no abrasives per se (it's a chemical cleaner), but I'm concerned that the pad itself would cause marring on my paint. Trying to get my 1999 camry ready for the winter with KAIO + 2...

That's just beautiful work my man!! :dblthumb2: So the D300 was the only thing you used for that correction? And it finished down THAT nice, without another polishing step? Boy, that stuff sure could save me some time in the future!!

Re: Win a Copy of Mike's Book - The Art of Detailing! I want to soak up and learn everything I can from Mike. This book would really help me take my detailing work to the next level. I want to learn from the master!! :dblthumb2:

I definitely wanted a hard copy of this book, and I'm happy that you are offering it. I would LOVE an autographed copy too!! :cheers:

Hi Corey, I'm very interested in this particular product for my 2005 Acura TL seats. I don't know if you have heard people talk about the leather in acuras and hondas, but it just seems to get tacky and sticky feeling with age. It's like something is leaching out of the leather and making it...

Let's go Hokies!!!! I LOVE college football!!

Garry, Can you recommend a sealant for the headlights that would be more economical, say for ppl that don't quite have like $60 for a coating? Or is it a question of...you get what you pay for, and something cheaper would not last a long time like the Opti-guard product? Thanks, and nice...

Are there any other thoughts about these 2 products? I am interested as well... :hungry:

Hi Bud, Yes, I'd have to agree with you...Bobby G really does know his stuff!! :dblthumb2: So now I am faced with a dilemma...UPGP or Opti-seal, which one should I choose?

Whew!! Well, thanks everyone...I guess what I'm getting at is which sealant would be the most durable with just one coat on average, taking into account the environmental factors involved, etc. I do have some great recommendations here, and I'm definitely wanting to try something new...

So, is there any other sealant out there that can come close to the durability of the Klasse twins, and is more user-friendly, in your opinion?
