I can't wait to see them! In a side note of flouropolymer protectants, I tried Fusso Coat on a section of my car and it held all through winter. I think these companies are in to something.

Hey! Where are the beading shots?! Lol. Just kidding. Great job. That IronX snow soap is such a great wash for any coating or heavy duty sealant. Makes a great clay lube too.

I guess out of the options listed Wolfgang would be the longest lasting. But I tend to stick with sealants that are easier to apply over longer lasting. Why not use something with a bit less durability but has an ease of use that is superior and doesn't require a 12 hour no moisture cure time...

I love both products but I often don't want to use a wash and wax and the BRS method is my go to so I say ONR is my pick. ONR has been tried and true with me as well. Almost a decade now (9 years) and I still love it.

For UV protection, Optimum Car Wax is hard to beat. It's so easy to apply as well that you'll never be without time to do so. God I love that stuff. I buy it by the gallon because I use it on so much.

Ah. Okay. If that is paint transfer and you do not have a polisher, I would try an over the counter light scratch remover and a foam applicator. Meguiars ScratchX may do the trick. Just remember to reapply your favorite wax as the ScratchX will certainly remove it.

Do you think it was dinged at the dealership? You may be able to contact them and they may fix it as a goodwill gesture. I had this happen to me back in 2006 with a lease vehicle and they did fix it since the agreed it most likely happened on the lot. If that does not work, I can highly suggest...

Ah, I gotcha. That makes perfect sense then. And that's very stand up of you to do. :xyxthumbs:

I'd be curious to try out that Whips Wax sometime. I've always used ONR in a spray bottle or any car soap in my pump foamer and blasted it off with good results. But hey, I'm always down to try something new.

Welcome! I think all in all your plan of attack sounds great in addition to what others have contributed. If I may, I would like to make one suggestion. Before going through the whole wash and decon process only to find out the Ultimate Polish doesn't work out, maybe one day take a few minutes...

I'll actually soak a towel in ONR and then wring it out really well so it's slightly damp. That I'll use to make the first pass drying and get the bulk of the water off. Then I'll grab the dry one to get any remaining moisture. Often I'll give like a half spray of OCW onto the dry towel as a...

It does work well as a drying aid. Optimum Car Wax does as well. Meguirs is probably a bit less expensive. Optimum probably offers more substantial protection. Both work great though.

The great thing about the detailing industry is that there is something for everyone. Some people prefer something with an extremely high water contact angle like Gliss and Fusso Coat have. Some like more of a balance of beading and sheeting. Some go for deep rich looking products and some for a...

That's sweet man! I totally wouldn't mind snow so much of I could tool around in that beauty. My driveway is at such a steep angle that I usually fall on my butt at least 3 times each time I snow blow.

You could have probably contacted OPT if you were that unhappy with it. No reason to literally toss $20 plus shipping in the trash.

If you're finding dirty towels you may need to do a second pass just like any wash media. If my car is excessively dirty I will do a panel with one side and then go back over it quickly with the other. Towels wipe clean just fine then. The BRS is my favorite wash media for ONR. I can easily do...

It's frustrating, but it could have been from anything. Even another customer or a delivery person could have done it. I'd be inclined to think that with the quality work you said that they did on the bumper that it was from a third party source. Either way, I'm glad it's coming out. These...

Optimum Car Wax has fantastic UV protection. Coupled with your regimine of Mothers you should be good to go. Another nice cleaner wax is Optimum Poli-Seal. Very easy to work with. Either way, the best plan is whatever you enjoy the most. People are always going to have varying opinions, but the...

There's definitely something wrong with that car wash system. To rub through the clear and basecoat is insane. Undoubtedly they've caused damage to other vehicles. I hope all goes smoothly getting it fixed.

I would say you'd be hard pressed to justify a $100 nozzle. Griots is a great brand but I often question their pricing as I find it to be generally higher than other quality brands.
