Wow, that was great! Thanks Nick. For me, the hardest part is getting the right tools to reach all the nooks and crannies inside the engine bay. I forgot about the mini Daytona speed detail brush. I have the large speed brush and it's great for wheels. I've added the small brush to my car...

Is that the same thing as an oven baking pan, like what's used to bake cookies?

How do you test new products and techniques? Some products (e.g. Opti-coat, Cquartz, etc) or techniques (e,g, wet sanding, wool buffing, etc) need to be evaluated/practiced before going on a customer's car. Any suggestions on how to do some testing and get some experience without messing up...

Which 303 product? Their speed detailer spray works great on paint, trim and tires. The Protectant does not leave a shine and looks hazy on paint.

California car duster. Just moves some of the dust and dirt around. MF is faster and easier.

Fred is right about the multi-layer ultrasonic units (e.g. PosiTector 200) - it's doesn't work on metal. Here the response I got from DeFelsko: "Our PosiTector 200 B-Adv is designed for measuring the thickness of paint applied to non-metal substrates. It is not designed for measuring the...

Tarminator removed the badge adhesive on my 2012 Nissan. My badges were attached with grey double-sided tape. If you warm up the adhesive with a hair dryer after removing the badge, you may be able to roll the adhesive off with your thumb and skip the chemicals. Fishing line worked for me, but...

Interesting combo! Marine polish, bonding agent, clear coat polish. How did you decide to add the marine polish?

Which glaze?

I drive a Nissan Leaf - 100% electric and loving it. No more gas for me! For folks who drive less than 100 miles a day, the Leaf may work for you. It costs about $3 in electricity to go 100 miles. Here's mine at a free public charger.

Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion recommends a white polishing pad for machine application. I'm new to machine polishing and have the Griot DA polisher. Which white pad is recommend? There are eight on the website - Cobra Cross Groove; Lake County flat, CCS, hybrid power, Kompressor, &...

Gotcha. I need to listen to that Conway Twitty song "You want a man with a slow hand..."

Thank you Nick & Mike! That's a bit more work than I want to do (I'm not a pro). I have a new 2012 pearl white Nissan Leaf. The paint looks good and feels pretty clean, but there was alot of grit on it when I first got it a few weeks ago. I've already purchased the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint...

Will Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion discolor black trim?

Tarminator and a toothbrush worked for me. I was concerned it might damage the plastic, but it didn't. I made sure to wash it all off with an APC and lots of water. Opie suggested using a pencil eraser. Will try that next time. May also try a laundry spot remover (e.g. Shout) next time, I've...
