I would not contact him unless you dont see the refund within the next few days. A response from him like that is totally unprofessional and shows the quality of his work. I have no respect for him whatsoever. 1. From my understanding the Ceramic Pro coating needs to be sanded off rather than...

I actually took your seriously and didnt think sarcasm personally. But could see how that could be interpreted. MOST people do not know how to wash or dry a vehicle properly. 25% or so of scratches and marring comes from the washing phase. 75% or so of scratches and marring comes from the drying...

Well, hand wash with the appropriate wash soaps, wash mitt (or multiple MF towels, one for each panel), and the most important item ----the drying towel. ONLY use a microfiber specific drying towel. DO NOT use a bath towel, or any other towel that is not specific for drying a car. ie.....if you...

To the OP --- I am so sorry this took place. Your 70k or so Yukon deserves much better than this person. I, throughout all the posts, saw numerous red flags. 1. Getting a car with even a light coat of dust on it after someone paying anything is unacceptable, unless your wife drove through a...

I do alot of high-end one -step vehicles. I primarily use my Flex 3401 due to complex curves on the vehicles. ( I do own a Rupes 21 MKII with a 5" backing plate). I have 2x GG 3", one for 2" pads for tight spots, and one with black 3" pads to apply Ammo SKIN and Carnauba or any other type of wax...

Thought I would take a quick one before it snows today.

Hey buddy, Great work with the Aston! The black metallic is the best paint IMHO they have. I unfortunately have the fast track "Jet Black" for my DB9. But I wasn't going to pass up an extremely rare manual DB9 just to get a slightly different paint. If the above are your steps in order, you...

I think a mini Flex might be too heavy and with the ability of using 5" pads and being able to TILT a Flex 3401, not too sure if one would be needed. I found that I didn't even use my NEW Rupes LHR 3" and ONLY broke it out just because it was new and I should use it. A piller to B Pillar areas...

Rupes iBrid has all you need, but very not cheap I stripped all the wood out of my AMG then polished them with a 3" GG. Same steps as the car paint. The clear is soft. When I finished I applied 22ple coating to the clear. I also have applied several other brands of coatings. The coatings will...

Great to hear the pad choice!!!!!!! Definitely recommended. I spent hundreds on CCS, CG Octagons, Megs flat foam etc.... till I tried the Hybrid in 5". Perfectly awesome. Menzerna FG400 might be the perfect product to use with the Orange cutting pad that will level the surface down while...

1. How long has it been since you had the vehicle re-painted? 2. If longer than 2-3 months, then you need to make sure the Paint is level again, like it was directly after the re-painting. 3. When the paint is completely level, that is almost the maximum gloss you can get, when scratches begin...

For the FLEX 3401 the HYBRID pad system with 5" pads are the best pads for the machine. They were specifically made for the 3401. 1. Get the LC backing plate system with the 4" plate that was mentioned above. 2. Get a combination of orange cutting and white finishing HYBRID pads for those two...

There is a whole bunch of misconceptions out there about coatings and what they are, how they function and their maintenance. I hope the below will help you understand the Hardness misconceptions. A coating will not prevent normal swirls and bad washing methods. They possibly may prevent very...

The water spot issue point is that in order to get to the spots and correct them the panels must be heated up, so then you see them to correct them. (IE....under sun at car show they show up due to panel being heated up). That is the only way to make sure on a car with those issues that you...

Bryan, I am glad this thread is starting to get some responses at least in question or understanding form. Bryan, I own a 2005 Aston Martin DB9 black on black with the very very rare 6-speed manual. Its one of 20 first year cars for that model brought to the states w/ specific options. So a...

I will try and answer this best as possible and touch on each of your questions. In removing your compound/polish/wax it is best by far to do by hand. What would you use to remove the substances (MF Bonnets on some type of foam pad?) This process would IMHO likely introduce marring in the paint...

@RPM_BR -----That was the whole purpose for the thread is so members can learn more of the products they use. Mike eluded to that in his post and said this topic hasn't been really discussed, which was my purpose. The water spots issue comes from paint expanding and contracting and at what...

The product is interesting, however ..... 1. Glazes are the old product that has fillers to fill in marring and scratches, then without panel wipe apply your carnauba or sealant of choice. These fillers were a tool for detialers to improve the paint for a customer, but it only lasts several...

Mike, its Andrew. you helped on the Navy Blue Mustang 2 years back through my email (same as forum name)(ie...PB AM new DB11 paint correction that the guy never called you back on) with the issue of micro marring on front hood due to soft paint and walked me through the process of eliminating...

I have not tried any of the GG products ever, let alone on black Merc paint, but @Mike Lambert is likely giving a good number 2 choice to try out. But use his suggested style with po85rd. Mike P uses po85rd/SF4500/whatever they call it now SF3800? for jeweling paint. So the product isn't the...
