    Ceramic coated my car, residue remaining

    Yep, it worked on 2 of my windows and took down the 3rd (heaviest layer) a good bit. I need to go back and spend a bit more time with the microfiber towel, and I can get it all gone.

    Ceramic coated my car, residue remaining

    Hey! I had applied CQuartz to my Tesla which went well, but I ran into an issue where my windows have a sliver of residue on the bottom portion because the windows retract when the door opens. I've tried buffing it with a microfiber towel by hand but I doesn't seem to be doing anything. I...

    Turtle wax ceramic spray durability

    Wait, Turtle Wax Ceramic actually lasts ~1 month? I'd be thrilled with that during winter! I always figured it would be gone after a week, but maybe I'd be washing my car way more often up here w/ salt and snow.

    Pads for Milwaukee 7" Polisher

    That makes sense! I'll just grab a 6-pack of the CCS Smart Pads since I am already familiar with CCS tech. Excited to finally get back to detailing my car again.

    Pads for Milwaukee 7" Polisher

    I've thought about it, but I wouldn't be opposed to getting a larger pad for time efficiency. I don't know why, but it takes me absolutely forever to wax my Accord with the current pads. Since the HDO pads are designed for long throw orbital polishers, is there any chance that the Milwaukee...

    Pads for Milwaukee 7" Polisher

    I just got a Milwaukee 7" Polisher, and I'm looking to get some pads for it since I unfortunately have a ton of 6.5" pads for my GG6. I was suggested by some to just use a 6.5" HDO pad for the polisher since the edges actually line up well with the 7" backer. However, I also saw that Lake...

    Polishing passenger window

    I haven't tried any polish/compound. I was reading in other threads that they wouldn't do anything, but perhaps that was because the scratches were much deeper? I have some DG105/205. Should I just jump straight to the DG105? What pad should I use with it? Or try by hand first?

    Polishing passenger window

    Any preference between Ceriglass and Griot's Fine Glass Polish? Griot's is a bit cheaper, but I could see that being due to differences in amounts of cerium oxide.

    Polishing passenger window

    Dumb question, can I use 3" pads on a 5" backing plate? Since I'm polishing glass, I'm not too worried about the edge hitting paint or other things. Or should I just go ahead and grab the 5" Lake Country?

    Polishing passenger window

    Appreciate the tips from the master himself! I would agree that it is more like scuffing. I was so confused when I came out to my car because I have no clue what would even cause this. Do you think I still need to use the DA polisher or are scuffs manageable by hand? Also is temperature a...

    Polishing passenger window

    Thank you! I will grab the 150mL. I ran my finger nail over the scratches again this morning, and my nail isn't catching on anything so hopefully that means it'll be repairable. Any comments on Lake Country vs Griots for glass polishing pads? Leaning towards Lake Country simply due to their...

    Polishing passenger window

    Here's some photos of the scratch. Really hard to get a good photo, maybe that's a good sign so that it's not that deep? I was definitely planning on buying the Ceriglass Kit or even the CarPro FlyBy30 Kit I was just hoping to make only one purchase due to shipping costs...

    Polishing passenger window

    Geebus. Okay, well I guess I definitely need to use my DA then. My scratch is nowhere near that bad though so maybe it won't be so bad?

    Polishing passenger window

    I came out to my car tonight to a massive scratch on my passenger side window. I can't feel the scratch much with my fingernail, but I can't rub it away. Before I look into replacing the window, I'd like to try and polish the window. A few questions. 1) Is it at all possible by hand or do I...

    How to tell when leather is saturated w/ conditioner?

    I just got new Roadwire leather seats for my car. They were clearance items so I can't really complain too much for the price I paid, but I one of my pieces of upholstery was quite dry and felt very rough to the touch with some cracking. I've done probably at least 5 rounds of Griot's Leather 3...

    Burger grease on fabric upholstery

    Awesome, thank you. I tried another grease remover which worked a little bit, but I think it just wasn't strong enough. Will get some Folex!

    Burger grease on fabric upholstery

    So being super hungry, I decided to eat a burger in my car without laying down some napkins and spilled some grease. I've tried baking soda and Ultima interior Shampoo Gel with oil stains left behind. Any suggestions on what product to use? I really regret getting beige fabric.

    P21S Paint Cleanser Polisher Settings

    I ran my GG6 on a white pad on speed 3, and had no problems with the P21S drying up quickly. Definitely noticed a big difference after using it. Just applied DG105 + 601 and taking a break before throwing on the Collinite. I forgot how sore the DA makes my arms and back.

    P21S Paint Cleanser Polisher Settings

    I actually came across a blog that said to do speed 4-5, but it sounds like I'll just waste a ton doing it that high. Thanks for the tip!
