Odd, that I myself also had a similar problem like this, and it was with CP Reset. And I initially thought the same thing too, thought I used a bit too much of Reset, and the second time I used it, I used much less paying critical attention to mix ratios. And yep, same end results again, a...

Honestly, I hope you don't see me as a fake for suggesting Sonax Polymer Net Shield as a worthy product, as I do have a brand new Can of it here, but in truth I have never used the product yet myself to confide about my personal experiences with it. But I do trust many of our forum members...

I would say realistically for a daily driver that may not be garage kept, I estimate more accurately about 4-5 months good protection with Collinite #845, and about 6-7 months with #476 Collinite Super Double Coat Paste. Being garage kept, those figures I mention will be a bit better. The...

I'll concur with Paul above. Such products like the two Collinite products he mentions are very good, and can be an easier to apply protectant than some of the durable Coatings. There's no time limit as to when a coating can be applied. Perhaps further down the road, when you've done enough...

The 2-fold advantage of a durable coating is not only better and longer lasting protection, but less wear and tear on the owner! The initial cost outlay seems high for such, but is actually more economical in the long run IMO. Factor placing a price on your time and labor. To me, that's also...

I know the pain. It's a lot of vehicle. And there's instances where large SUVs can even be worse, take a Chevy-GMC Suburban as one example. Many too have roof racks, and trim making the job even harder yet. That continual up and down off a ladder takes its eventual toll. And I'd say for...

That era of early 90's Dodge Trucks were essentially junk! They put a killer turbo diesel Motor in a crap truck. Basically not much in the way of aftermarket parts like spring kits, add ons, etc. To get a 3" lift all the way around, I wound up in a Semi Truck Shop, where they made new Springs...

Only other idea that pops into my mind, and it would be for areas that aren't commonly touched. You'll have insane gloss and shine, in fact it might be too much! Easy, relatively cheap versus a wipe on Ceramic Coating such as CQuartz DLX. (DLX would probably work) That product, dare I say...

Tough call. I take it that the picture you've shown in particular, is a grab hold on the side door with an integrated door latch, correct? If so, these areas which I'll assume are basically some type of plastic will be the toughest of all to do any fixes with say a sealant, or an acrylic...

I'll agree with what Mike Phillips has said about the acquisition a DA Polisher. I'd say seriously consider getting yourself one. Best advice I can add, is there are often many great sales here and often free shipping with a low and even sometimes no minimum purchase. It's times like these that...

Sometimes Black vehicles and hard pastes, or certain waxes-sealants can spell trouble. I know I told this story before here, a bought new black '94 Lincoln Town Car. A friend gave me 6 brand new bottles of the blue liquid Zymol that you'd commonly see at the Big Box Auto Parts Stores, and Wally...

You could try a wipe down with a detailer spray first to see if that evens out the finish.

Many modern day Clothes Irons don't necessarily require the use of distilled water anymore as I understand, but I've seen detrimental effects on Clothes, particularly expensive dress shirts by using regular Tap Water as a substitute. It used to be that tap water contained too much in the way of...

Distilled Water will be quite shelf stable for dilution of chemicals. There's been times where I found I had to slightly cut and dilute products like Polishes and Compounds, just so thick they'd be a chore just to get out of the bottle. IMO that's just too darn thick! And sometimes such...

Thank You Mike, for the taking the time of posting the Intros of the "Detailing Bible". The last picture and comments made me smile, and brought back memories of the olden days again for me. When I was resorting to a one speed Boat Anchor Milwaukee Rotary that came over on the Santa Maria...

I commend, and praise you for trying. Experience is the best teacher, but it can be a bit harder teacher when you're not receiving anything in the way of help of someone personally showing and teaching you some hands on methods, and what the problems are to then rectify them. I was a beginner...

You could try whatever you might have on hand, an All Purpose Cleaner on a Towel, and might remove such if not too bad. Something like Back to Black might remove, and then again might only hide the residues? And yep, there are specific products made for such and sold here. I know Griots...

I wanted to add, that there has been instances where I resorted to Speed 6 with the Porter Cable. Might've been a couple reasons for this, the Pad loading up with too much product, and such can kill rotation. In that speed 5 just wasn't getting it. The Porter Cable does get crazy loud on Speed...

There's probably no harm caused by mentioning the brand of the polisher for one. You say a 3", is it a Griots 3"? (I own one) Many will tell you that this is not a powerhouse unit, it takes patience, perfect technique, and the right combo of pads and product to get any serious correction from...

The White Lake Country Thinpro Pads are usually the best pads to team with a free wheeling DA like the PC7424 Machine. Even Mike Phillips commonly says he prefers a flat pad best for corrections. Hopefully, we'll assume you're using a 5" Backing Plate and 5.5" Pads as the largest Plate-Pad...
