    Most Glossy Tire Dressing That Doesn't Sling....?

    I've found that many times the "sling" comes from a bad application technique. Try to work in smaller amounts of the product with multiple coats/passes and avoid the top recessed thread portions of the tire where product can seep into and sling later until after the bottom and middle sections...

    Review & How-To: Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Paint Coating

    Great review and detailed write up on this Mike! One question, after using a clean/soft microfiber towel to give the panel you just coated a final wipe would you recommend discarding that microfiber towel? Would some of the coating attach itself to the towel even after washing and possibly...

    Will a nano ceramic or glass based paint coating create a better shine then wax?

    So generally speaking, a coating will provide a high gloss appearance versus a wax which will be more of a wet look with maybe more depth. I realize this is an individual preference, but I prefer the high gloss personally. What about sealants?

    Will a nano ceramic or glass based paint coating create a better shine then wax?

    I understand a paint coating will last much longer, but if the surface preparation is done properly, will a paint coating produce superior shine, gloss and depth over a high quality wax or sealant? Please share your thoughts!

    To use a 5" backing plate on the G21 or not...

    For compounding I use the Griot's with the 5 inch backing plate and a microfiber pad or orange pad. There's much better correction with the 5 inch versus the 6.5. For polishing I use the 6.5.

    VW Jetta Oxidized Roof or Clear Coat Damage?

    I worked on a black (non metallilc) 2009 VW Jetta that had moderate oxidation mostly on the center portion of the roof. The trunk and hood look perfect. Using a DA, I compounded using WG Uber and an orange LC pad and it came out really nice. Finished using WG Finishing Glaze with a white LC...
