Hey everybody, I'm John.

Great, thanks! I've applied it to the entire vehicle already, just didn't want to apply a coat of 845 to find out I should have waited eight hours and ultimately wasted my time on the application. I appreciate the info!

Does TPnS have a cure time? I thought I read that it doesn't but before I go hog wild applying 845 over it, I want to make sure I give it the proper time to cure. I searched but saw nothing so starting fresh... Thanks!

Thanks. I guess with the extra durability/lifetime of the 845 over the 26, that makes sense. I appreciate it!

I'm looking to put a durable layer of protection on a daily driver dark blue Neon. I have both 26 and 845 and remember seeing I can layer them, but can't find the post or the correct layer order. With the 26 being a hybrid with synthetics, I assume it would be better to use 26 as the 'sealant'...

I just used GEP on my car but used a Porter Cable 7424XP to apply it and it did an awesome job cleaning the old wax off of the car but didn't do much if anything for any scratches on my car, minor or not. It's more of a paint cleaner than a polish I'd say. The paint definitely looks nicer and...

I'm not sure honestly. My car looks glossy and slick and to the average person immaculate but wouldn't hold wax. I'd wash it once and the bead and slickness were gone. After running a clay bar over the whole car followed by a polish to remove the old wax and clean the paint, the car looks and...

I've never used 3M but I've used the Eagle One years back and it was slick however didn't last long at all so never used it again. Has the car been clayed recently? It's possible that the wax didn't sit right on the paint and more came off on the wipe down than what stuck to the car. I was...

When I first used mine on a single hood it got really hot, but after posting on the forum, I found I didn't have the compression washer installed between the backing plate and the machine which caused the machine to get pretty warm. Do you have the washer installed? After putting the washer...

I've also had good luck following up the quick detailer with Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion to remove any etching/staining left behind by the gift of poop.

Thanks Frenchie!

Thanks Glen, that will be the route I'll be taking then!

I'm sorry, should have said the pads I have. I have the 5.5 inch 1 1/8" hydrotech pads. I have two tangerine, two cyan and two crimson. I also have the 4" starter kit. My plan was to compound, seal and then for an LSP use Collinite 845. I have plenty of wax options, however lack in the...

I don't have any other polish than the Total Seal and Polish and Gloss Enhancing Polish so figured if I needed something a little stronger, than I would need to order it soon so I can have it for mid next week to polish out the compound. If the Total Seal and Polish will work, then I'd love to...

Great, thanks for the feedback!

I'm going to be using Ultimate Compound on an older Neon and have some Blackfire Total Polish and Seal as well as Gloss Enhancing Polish, will those be strong enough to clean up any leftovers from the compound? If not, what would you recommend as a next best option? This car has never seen wax...

So I've always kept my cars clean but have always had a fresh slate to work off as they have been newer cars but I recently picked up a PC 7424XP and want to try out my skills on an older car in need of TLC. With that, I'm taking my brothers older Neon which he uses as a commuter car. It's a...

I agree with everything said. I always thought I had a good idea of what I was doing cleaning my cars however the amount of knowledge I've gained from this forum is unbelievable. The friendliness of the AGO team as well as the forum members is top notch and sets the standard for how a business...

I have a black VW and bought a house on a dirt road (good idea I know :props:) so for the past year, have really had my work cut out for me. I wash it frequently but used to use a California duster religously followed by quick detailer however found the scratches all of the time, so gave that...

I just used that same combo on my car and it came out great. I didn't do a wash between the polish and sealant, although after reading some posts, maybe I should have. I started with a clay bar cleaning, then the polish using the 5.5" tangerine hydro pad on my PC at speed 5 and that cleaned up...
