No correction needed on the roof :) Used an orange pad and Griot's Correcting Cream then hit it with Eraser. Should probably have used Essence too, but forgot I had it :)

Yeah, I bought one :) Did correction then 2 coats of CQUK3, but I didn't do the roof as the entire thing is glass. Since the coating is supposed to bond with the paint and there is no paint, I didn't think it was the right product to use. Or is it? I know Carpro makes a windshield product but...

So, the first few washes went as expected. Sheeting action is tremendous. I noticed that there was a scrape along the side of the car and it appears my wife drove alongside a bush or hedge or something. Fortunately I was able to buff it out with a gloss pad and Essence. I'm assuming that's...

Haven't gotten around to it yet - maybe this weekend.

I was able to get most of it down with a MF and reload spray. The rest of them she won't notice :)

So, I guess a bit of a closing summary. I ended up ordering these particular products because I could get them delivered by the weekend. Living in CA, it's impossible (it seems) to get product from Autogeek delivered by the weekend unless you pay a ridiculous amount for quicker shipping. I get...

No tire coating, didn't do wheels yet. Recommendations?

Two coats of CQUK + reload. Done for the day.

Yup, Cquartz UK. More thoughts later but Essence didn't cut like I thought it would or apply like I thought, and CQUK is taking a long time to flash compared to the videos and when I hit it with the microsuede, feels like I'm just moving it around. Again, could be the humidity - never thought...

First coat of Cquartz UK. Smells like turpentine...

Went back to griots and MF pad. Tried Essence on the sides this time, way less product (not that I was using that much). Seems OK. Onward.

Arg, I've hit a roadblock. I'm not sure why but Essence is clouding up on me. It's hotter (and more humid) than earlier and I'm wondering if that's why. I checked the bottle and lowered my speed to medium, same problem. Could be humidity or an issue going from Griots to Essence, but it sucks...

Going to "live post" this thing and keep editing. Step 1. Washed the car with Reset shampoo. Step 2. Claybar with Mother's clay bar kit (its what I had on hand and was new in the box so...) Paint was overall pretty smooth but I did see some spots in the clear coat and a small scratch on the...

I'm going to surprise you. I'm going to apply product, show you the results, and only then tell you what I ordered :)

I'm definitely doing it, only challenge is going to be getting product before the weekend if this stuff ships from FL...

Hey Nick, does this item have the new formula or the old? McKee's 37 Paint, Wheel & Glass Coating Complete Kit

OK, decision time. Lots of recommendations for the McKee's and its on sale for $99 including the prep polish and (apparently crappy) towels. I like the sound of the Wolfgang Uber and they have a good kit set up for $169. Polish Angel sounds interesting but there are so many different products to...

So, a couple of questions. I'm still using my old Porter Cable (7xxx something) which has done double duty around the house as well, so perhaps it's time to upgrade. What's the current recommended tool for the job? And what pads do you like? As far as coatings, wow, lots of choices, far more...

I live in the SF Bay Area where the prices are probably the highest in the US besides Manhattan. Yes, I've definitely considered doing it myself, that's why I'm here :)

Not starting a religious war, but here's the story. I've been detailing my cars for years with the firm belief that Zaino is the best stuff out there. A lot of work, but worth it. Saw an ad recently for a used Tesla where it mentioned Opticoat, and that it had just been "refreshed". Started...
