    Can I Get Some Quick Guidance With My New CarPro Products?

    I usually do my iron-x on dry panels. I also never touch the paint while the iron-x is on.

    New home...new background...new product!

    Car looks great. Congrats on moving into the new place. Can’t beat having access to a hose anytime you need it. I love the humor in your post. And great picks of your car meet.

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Yesterday was the first time my son was able to get back on a soccer field for a training session. Omg it felt so good being on the turf, around other humans, and to see smiling faces and hear laughter. All kids got their own gear, area to play with, and were kept socially distant. All...

    Aside from working a 10 hr day, I took my drone for a 20 min flight. Getting braver and braver w each flight. The thing is so cool. I had my roof done last year and I got some nice shots of it. Yesterday I picked up some applications for permits From my town to build a semi-in ground pool...

    WGDGPS topped with Fuzion

    I’ve only ever used fusion paste wax on its own and it was really nice. And the smell, so intoxicating. I had a mini jar of the stuff and flew through it. Looking forward to your results.

    What Happened To My Ceramic Coating?

    I had an almost identical experience as you except after my paint prep I did remove the oils. I actually started a thread a few weeks back discussing my disappointment in the Carpro CQuartz uk and gliss coating I performed. Some folks thought it was my selection of soap but that was not it...

    Got myself a drone, the Mavic Air, this week. Tonight I flew it for the first time, in beginner mode of course. It was so much fun although I do admit to being terrified of losing it at the same time. Going to find a large open field tomorrow and give it another go. Got 3 batteries, extra...

    Dang $75 for a hair cut. Those are NY prices. :). I pay $25 for me and $15 for my son (11). I tip my barber $5 for each of us so its about $50 every trip and we go every 2-3 weeks. If its soccer season we try to stick to 2 weeks cause kids gotta look good scoring his goals. Glad wifey...

    What's the last form of exercise you've done?

    I do either weights or cardio boxing almost daily since pandemic started and a 2-3 mile leisure bike ride because the kids go w me. I haven’t gotten the results I was hoping for. I have built strength and some muscle but not as much as I wanted. Starting yesterday I added a 2 mile run on the...

    A little disappointed in my coating

    So I didn’t have Reset. I did have iron x so I used that and rewashed w chemical guys. Got that pollen off and seems like hydrophobicity characteristics are returning. Pollen levels aren’t that bad anymore. Will continue to monitor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Unfortunately my 2012 Honda Odyssey has experienced the (very common to this car) Engine Misfire issue. It had 157k miles on it and about 4 days past warranty period it fails me. I called American Honda and was basically told sorry you are beyond the warranty by 4 days. I took it to dealer...

    Detailed GLC43

    Just to add to my multitude of coatings on the same car - I have applied ceramic cmx spray coating to the glass. The reviews I read about this product on glass were all outstanding so figured I’d give it a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A little disappointed in my coating

    I’m washing it in the morning. I’m still on the fence about it being my chemical guys soap. I think that soap performs well. I have used it for years and I use it to wash my other coated cars and they don’t seem to have same issues w pollen which is why I nagged on the coating combo. I’ll...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I was about to post about how awesome my Griots Garage PFM is. I just used it today for the first time and I was uber impressed. Looks like that sentiment is shared here. One of the best purchases I have made in a long time. While I’m at it, I took my wife’s new car along w the family for...

    A little disappointed in my coating

    I do have iron x so I will do that first and then wash w reset. I just figured this was 3-6 mo down the road. I understand that the pollen is interfering w the beading of the coating. I just didnt think it would be so severe so soon. In comparison w polish angel, gyeon mohs, or even...
