    ANOTHER coating question

    Ok, car show season approacheth. I'm thinking about trying a coating on my black 09 GT500 this year. Every spring I detail it with Wolfgang swirl remover & finishing glaze, then protect it with DGPS. I coated the wife's Caddy last year with CSL, & my daily driver Fusion with McKee's. I'm not...

    I see you're in Miami so I won't bother making the point that Mustangs suck in snow!

    2018 Mustang - Next New Car?

    2018 Mustang - Next New Car?

    I owned nothing but Fords from 1985 until 2013 when my wife all but made me buy her a Cadillac SRX. Never had a Ford let me down, or make me want to buy anything else. I put 156,000 miles on a 2006 Focus, & I've got almost 80,000 on my 2012 Fusion Sport. And I've had 7 Mustangs through the...

    Better Look- Menzerna Power Lock or Wolfgang Deep Gloss?

    I've used them both extensively & I honestly can't tell a difference. I really like them both. I know that's not much help, but you really can't go wrong with either.

    WGDGPS -- What pad do I use to apply?

    I use the little 4" foam hand applicator pads because trying to get that stuff out of my buffer pads is a PITA.

    A couple of observations about CSL

    I'd always read about how coatings make a car easier to keep clean, but I had reservations. I coated the wife's Cadillac with CSL back in the early spring. One thing I noticed early on was how rain would actually wash dust off of it. Much more so than with the sealants I regularly use. Now when...

    Crappy water

    Good info, & thanx. The CR Spotless is what I'm looking at. It's been so long since I had my water tested that I forget the #'s. I do my own cars, & 15-20 a year for customers, so I don't think replacing the resin would kill me moneywise. Maybe once a year.

    Crappy water

    The water here in small town Indiana is full of minerals. I'm sick of washing & drying my cars (not to mention the ones I do for customers) & then having to go over them with QD's to get rid of the streaks & film left over. I'm pretty sure the water that goes to my spigots doesn't run thru my...

    2016 Boss 302 Vert detail

    I wondered how many people would see the subject & think "There's no such thing as a 2016 Boss 302, much less a convertible!"

    would you apply a 2nd coat of sealant after the initial polish?

    As long as you address your concerns about the surface being clean, then you shouldn't have any problems applying a 2nd coat.

    Sealant suggestions

    Sealed w/Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 last week. Menzerna Powerlock is a close 2nd.

    Coating recommendations?

    Just used Gtechniq CSL for the 1st time yesterday. Super easy to apply, & left a very slick feel.
