    CarPro FORTE and glass coatings in general...

    Both of the following views looking out from driver position: Driver side windshield Passenger side windshield I was extremely impressed with the the added sheeting/beading/clearing that the PNS created, and I was very surprised that the treated side windows were practically dry compared...

    CarPro FORTE and glass coatings in general...

    I didn't get to post this right away, but it rained overnight after I applied the PNS (on top of the glass coating) to the areas I spoke of in my previous post. I was amazed at what I saw when I went outside to go to work. Here are the pics. Driver side front door Driver side rear door...

    CarPro FORTE and glass coatings in general...

    I have been using Pinnacle Black Lable Glass Coating for the past couple of years and I like how it performs. I have topped the DP paint coating on my personal vehicles with PNS similar to how others may top a sealant with a wax. The coating creates the durable "base" layer, and the topper adds...

    CarPro FORTE and glass coatings in general...

    I agree 100 percent. When my coated windows get water spots they are easily removed with rinseless, waterless, or regular washing. I prefer to top my coated windows with Sonax PNS, which seems to reduce the spotting.

    Chrome plated (plastic) wheels on Ram trucks.

    If you want to polish them, I have had success with a liquid cleaner wax such as Meguiars. You can apply 846 afterwards also.

    Budget paint coating

    I only have experience with DP (now McKee's) coating. I highly recommend it. I think that it meets all of the requirements that you listed. DP is excellent by itself, but I prefer to top it with Sonax Polymer Net Shield for even better beading, sheeting, and durability (imo). I have...

    Uber Ceramic Coating Prep?

    What color is the truck? If you are happy with the results of the white pad just leave it at that. Or, since you already finished the roof with the white, just polish a quarter of the roof with the black pad and see if there is a difference. Make sure you use coating prep polish or do some...

    I Need a New Vacuum

    A lot of guys on here have the Rigid and like it. I bought the DP shop vac from Autogeek two years ago and love it. Nice accessories, 12 foot quality hose, 30 foot power cord, powerful suction, and extremely quiet. I highly recommend it. Paid $144 during 20% off sale. Worth every penny.

    Tire shine/coating

    In that case I would definitely try a coating. Make sure the tires are thoroughly cleaned before applying the coating, and apply at least 2 coats.

    Tire shine/coating

    I found the same results with the Tuf Shine coating. Great results and durability on Pirelli, not as good on Continental.

    Wheel Sealant Question

    I would go with either the ease of use of Hydro2 and reapply 2-3 times a year as necessary, or McKee's wheel coating and be set for a year. I have used both. On my own vehicles I prefer to use the coating. With either product you should only need to use your car wash soap for cleaning...

    Windows cleaning problem

    I used to have the same problem with glass. I have found that keeping the wiping surface of the towel flat and using pressure (basically buffing) with the second towel solved my problem.

    Help pick a coating, too many options

    I am impressed with DP paint coating (now McKee's). I turned in a leased vehicle yesterday that I applied the DP to two years ago. It was still performing well after a year, and then I topped it with Sonax Polymer Net Shield for additional protection, beading, and sheeting. I didn't wash it...

    Help pick a coating, too many options

    I feel the same. I have been extremely happy with PBL glass coating. Been using it on several vehicles for over 2 years.

    Review: Griot's Garage 3 inch Pneumatic Orbital Polisher - Mighty Mouse!

    That's the fantastic service that everyone has become accustomed to from AG. I can see a purchase in my future.

    Review: Griot's Garage 3 inch Pneumatic Orbital Polisher - Mighty Mouse!

    Nick, I have been eyeing this polisher for a while now. However, I have read multiple reviews on other sites where the backing plate has worn out and needed replaced. Is this backing plate unique to the polisher and only available through Griots?

    I'm old - But I did it

    Very nice work. I feel it now after a long day of detailing. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish the same in 13 years at that age. You give us middle-aged guys hope.

    Coating for PVD Wheels?

    Good to hear! Sounds like I can't go wrong with any of the coatings. Maybe I will experiment by trying the DP on one set and a different coating on the other.
