I am sure it would work but it would be very expensive. One tube does a windshield and maybe a side window or two. So one tube is like 5 dollars. You would need a tube of it for each window or two that you want to do. That would get very expensive and I am not really sure what the benefit is.

There is no such thing as the best car. Best economy car? Best Sports car? Best family sedan, etc. To some people the Prius is the best car. To others an Ford Raptor is the best. This is a question that can not be answered objectively. Also why 2011? It's almost 2013 now. So with all that...

Aquapel is great stuff. They claim 6 months but I think they are actually underselling it. I have seen noticeable water beading after as much as 9 months. Diminished sure, but it was still working to some extent. the trick is to make sure the glass is clean and I mean CLEAN. I usually use some...

Wash ( duh) Clay bar P21S paintwork cleanser Collinite 476 Aquapel on the windshield. Not much else.

The good thing about a good slick coat of wax... pretty much as soon as I start driving most of it was gone. In fact just sitting in the car was enough of a bump to cause alot of the water to start pooling together and running off the car... over the gutter.. and onto my seat. :( Oh what fun.

I used about 7 mls on my wife's CX-9 which is an SUV with alot of paint to cover. Not as big as that Chevy though.

I applied P21S ( 100% Carnauba) about a month ago. Car is garage kept at night. I have not done much since then other than a couple of quick wipe downs with eagle 1 Wipe&Shine ( A waterless wash kind of thing). It was raining the other day, just a light mist really, and when I came out to the...

It only matters if you want to profit from it. If you just do it in your garage you can't be sued. Not sure how that would impact people who do professional detailing and use the baggie test as part of the job. Realistically you would never get called out on something like that. If Meguiar's...

I was under the impression that P21S and S100 were identical. I have a black car and have used P21S on it. Results are excellent.

The only reason you do more than one coat of wax is to 100% ensure you have complete coverage. You can't actually put a layer on top of a layer of wax. Like dissolves like. You will just be adding and removing the same product over and over again and ending up with the same amount of product on...

I mean this is pretty close to the truth. What do you use cleaning an iterior? a vaccuum, an extractor, some water and MF towels. maybe a couple cleaning products? The extractor and other equipment are sunk costs. You buy it once and use it as long as you can. You can't charge for use of the...

Really you don't need to give them anything other than "it's my rate for this type of work". Sure you could back into an itemized form but the end result is the same. You provide a service and your time is worth X dollars as determined by the general market. I mean if you walk into a Ford...

Tell them it's the point on the supply and demand graph where the two curves intersect. It's the going market rate. If they don't like it, punch them in the face.

Are you working in the sun and/or is the paint surface hot? That will be a problem if you are. The surface needs to be cool otherwise you will get what you describe. The compound dries up. You should try and keep the compound moist while you are working with it. Sometimes a quick spray with a...

4G may be something you don't want her to have. I don't know what sort of plan you have, but 4G has significantly higher download speeds. If there is a cap on your plan ( like 5 gigs per month) or something like that, she will be able to eat through that 5 gigs 10 times faster ( literally) with...

I bought my porter cable used from a friend for 60 bucks. I am sure it will outlast the new HF buffer

The thing about HF tools is that they are cheap and cheap for a reason. They don't last that long, especially the electric/mechanical tools. A set of sockets, sure. They can't really stop working. They are good for a job where you only need the tool once or twice. I wouldn't but this for...

really. It costs 15 bucks to take my car to an automatic wash. I would expect to pay at least double for a hand wash.

This was the same process, topped with P21S instead of 476

It's the prep work that produces 95% of the shine. Wax is really just for protection and that last 5%. I used Meguair's M105/205, show car glaze, and topped it with 476 on this. Looks outstanding. But I agree, it's not "high end". Durable yeah. P21S 100% Carnauba is high end. Pinnacle...
