I was curious....I know Megs gives actual speeds (orbits per minute) for their own DA, but do we know what the equivalent speeds are on the original PC? PCXP? GG? etc. Thanks -Chris

Yes, I have ScratchShield on this car. Factory paint, model year 2011....no idea why, but they cancelled the self healing clear for 2010, brought it back for 2011, and Ive read they have cancelled it again (hopefully permanently this time). Either way Im stuck with it. Ive read through that...

Didnt even dawn (no pun) on me that you could use glass cleaner. Just straight Windex? Rob from Gtechniq said it can be hard to get C1 correct with soft paint. Thats all he mentioned about it. Honestly I think Id prefer OptiCoat anyway, because there is at least a window to make sure its...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I did actually try to wash the oils off, but I didnt have an APC to use, so I re-did a high ratio wash with Chem Guys citrus. Unfortunately that didnt seem to make a difference for whatever reason. That was proven by the fact that I could spray straight water...

This is what I have, and Ill explain what I tried: For polish, Poorboys SSR1 and 2.5, Megs Ultimate Compound, M105, M205, Gtechniq P1 For pads, 5.5" Lake Country Hydrotech in Crimson (ultra finish) and tangerine (ultra polish). 4" Excel Erasure (they seem to be made by Lake Country), yellow...

Any thoughts?

Is that something you can find out about? Is there a tech line I should call instead? Thanks

Well, using Chem Guys citrus at the correct dilution did not seem to remove some oils that were on the car....either from dealer installed stuff, or my polish (even though it was water based), or both. So I wasnt sure if that would happen again (from my polish) or if it was just a one time...

Just got my car back from having an exterior detail. Long story short, I tried doing it myself (which Ive done a bunch of times on my other cars) and seemed to have failed miserably. Looked good under halogens, but out in the sun had this strange almost hologramming/micro-marring look to it...

Sorry about resurrecting a "dead" thread but I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies. I found someone to work on the car....they dont (currently) provide OptiCoat services, but once I pointed out what my goals for the car were, they said they are going to take a look at using it. The...

I have the same question, and one more: apparently the paint on my 2011 G37 is VERY VERY soft (Malbec Black). Along with the self healing clearcoat, can I expect OptiCoat to play well with all of it? I just had the car detailed (compounded, polished, sealant applied)......whats the...

+2!! I had a very similar issue with my Malbec Black G37, I just dropped it off at a pro because everything I tried ended up with marring during the wipe down. Maybe someday Ill look into the pad/polish combo you tried. I would like to know which red pad, because I was using the LC HydroTech...

Are there any OptiCoat (now OptiGuard?) installers in the Connecticut area? Im having a heckuva time correcting the apparently very soft paint on my malbec Black Infiniti G, so Im about to throw in the microfiber and take it to a pro. Since it seems so soft Id prefer some coating that will...

2011 g37, working with a porter cable da (the original one, not the xp) Pads were primed by putting a coating of polish across it, then a couple extra drops to do a section. I dont believe I let the product dry out, there was always a haze of product on the paint at all times. Some have...

I think they brought it back for 2011, and have now discontinued it (again, supposedly permanently this time) This is the best pic I could get of what Im seeing, I know it looks like machine induced marring/hologramming, but Ive proven that I can polish a section until its crystal clear, then...

I started polishing the exterior of my new G37 a couple weeks (yes, its been that long) ago. Got through the whole car, under halogens everything looked fine. Pulled it out into the sun and it looks like a hologrammed disaster. Im using Gtechniq P1, but via DA and not rotary. So, where did...
