Well, it looks like it's time to go shopping then! Thanks Mike, I really appreciate your advice.

I found some old Griot's Garage Machine Polish while cleaning out my cabinet. I'd like to put them to use but they must be at least 8 years old. I can still shake them up, it smells fine and the polish appears to be pliable. GG has discontinued these products. So I have some questions: 1...

Thanks Mike and everyone else for your outstanding perspective. This is one of those things I've wondered about. It makes sense now!

Glass and Ceramic coatings are awesome and have multiple benefits. I get it. But my question is do coating by themselves provide more or the same level of gloss than say a Carnuba Wax or top of the line sealant topped with a wax? Since paint surface preparation is the key to having a showroom...

What products can I use to dress the rubber trim that won't wash off and get all over the windows after a wash?

Thanks Mike! What are your thoughts on the ceramic coating to prevent it from getting worse. The material is plastic and is already clean. It looks like the plastic is wearing out or breaking down. I always use a sun shade too!

I thought those wheels were aluminum at first....not chrome. Great job!

Sorry for the lack of clarity, specifically a one step correction polish followed by a sealant.

Well said! Thanks!

When doing a one step polish on black paint (or any color), do you use a rotary or exclusively a DA to prevent swirl marks?

I found this post by Mike back in 2012 that really sums it all up for me: Originally Posted by Mike.Phillips@Autogeek View Post I also believe and use as my own practice changing the action of the tool for my last machine process on most projects. Quote: Originally Posted by Tony L View Post...

Contact a reputable detailer in your area.

If a car is damaged and needed body repairs, the dealer must disclose this fact when you buy a new car. In California that is a state law. This obviously REDUCES what the car is worth. You have wasted enough time at the dealer, call Honda's Corporate Headquarters and explain what happened...
