    Paint Decontamination. How good can you really expect it to be??

    +1 on the OP's first post. I've used a combination of clay and/or a nano towel and no matter how hard I try, I can't get the paint 100% bump free, especially if doing the baggie test. I don't think I'm feeling orange peel. I can't see it with the naked eye at least. So, RMarkJr, you're not the...

    Wax, Sealant or Coating?

    Hopefully on different cars! All kidding aside, which of these coatings did you like the best? Which is easiest?

    Clay and baggie test. When to stop?

    Just want to say a big Thanks to Mike and all the posters on this old thread. I de-conned my Acura TL today for the first time in two years, using a variety of methods working to get perfect results: Nano towel, Ultima Elastrofoam block, and yes, good old-fashioned clay. Process, after washing...

    What is your favorite car shampoo?

    Another vote for the relatively obscure Ultima Paint Guard Wash. Long lasting suds and best slickness I've tried.

    Topper over McKee's 37 Paint Coating

    That has been my thought although it is likely I'll still develop a few swirls I'll want to polish away. It occurs to me that if I top every couple of weeks then maybe I don't need the coating, except maybe to add a little more scratch resistance. Your work is fabulous by the way. I'm...

    Topper over McKee's 37 Paint Coating

    I've been contemplating which coating to use on my wife's new white Ford Explorer and am doing a little research into McKee's 37 Paint Coating for a few reasons: Claimed longevity is 2 years. I don't need anything longer because I'll probably want to polish again in that time frame. Price is...

    C2v3 or Reload over Crystal Serum Light?

    Personally, I've not tried the newest (2014 or 2015?) version of Reload but found the original to be problematic on black paint even if diluted. Does anybody else have trouble with G2v3 on dark paint?

    C2v3 or Reload over Crystal Serum Light?

    One last question: Given that C2v3 claims 8 months protection, why not just use that as your LSP and forego the Crystal Serum Light? Just a thought. Anybody out there using it as their LSP?

    C2v3 or Reload over Crystal Serum Light?

    Just read the reviews on the C2v3 and it sound like it can be hard to apply. Anybody have any opinions on easy of application? How about vs Reload? The wife's Explorer is white by my Acura is black.

    Thanks. How so?

    C2v3 or Reload over Crystal Serum Light?

    About to coat my wife's new white 2017 Ford Explorer with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. I'm the type of guy who likes to top off the finish after most washes even though I know it isn't needed over a coating, but I can't help myself. I love the slickness of Reload and have never used C2v3. To...
