Hello DavidAl, This always confused me using the term 'wax' when referring to washes 'ie. wash&gloss, wash&wax'. Wax is not water soluble so wouldnt there be chunks in the shampoo? And if the suspensors were strong to emulsify the wax would they not adversely affect the waxes ability to...

Hello Shark Politur, Love the old ugly boxers, such sweet rides, smooth, reliable, virtually unkillable engines. Good work for just an hour sir. Warms the heart to see it maintained. Steve

Mr APDX, Unsure how much success you would have attempting to remove 845 with Eraser since its designed more to remove light surface oils and polish residue, not a synthetic wax but you can certainly try. As a note I completely understand your reluctance to 'go at' a paint system that is...

Hello APDX, All three 'glaze' products you listed are essentially the same, all have fillers to conceal mild imperfections in the paint system, Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion being more of a cleanser than a glaze but it still has fillers. You may achieve some extra gloss by using one...

Mr cleanmycorolla, Thank you sir for the update, greatly appreciated as I am currently planning out a strategy for possibly employing Gloss-Coat in the future and information regarding its longevity are a significant factor. Steve

Hello Mike Honcho, Well im not gonna be 'schooling' anyone and would rather be schooled, but until that happens i'll go ahead and share what little ive gleaned from reading the literature available from most of the major manufacturers. First id like to clarify i'll be using the term...

Hello DANDJ, Based on your criteria listed within your posts I would recommend do some comparison shopping and create a item list for what will fulfill your requirements. In My Opinion Only it seems as an example Megs MT300 would leave you 'without', considering the diversity and number of...

Mr Tino7, In this context we are talking of degrees rather than absolutes, the existing coating need not necessarily and without fail be removed entirely, just the surface be 'prepped' enough in such a way that bonding of the new coating not suffer impairment thus compromising its ability to...

Hello Tino7, Wolfgang rates Uber Ceramic as 3 years for 'painted surfaces' but your point is still taken, exactly! what do we do? Yes it will have to be re-applied or some replacement in any case as the attributes of the coating will have diminished to the point of being ineffectual in its...

Mr. andy2485, There has been no evidence of prices decreasing regarding paint coatings, in fact it seems to me without performing due research that the average price for coatings has increased. The retirement of Opti-Coat 2.0 saw I believe an approximate 200% increase in price by its...

Mr andy2485, My response is : complexity, scheduled time requirement to avoid moisture contamination, potential loss of comparatively high investment of capital, confusion regarding application methods, achievement of immaculate surface for optimal adherence of the coating(s) to bond with...

'In my best bible thumping voice and posture'; Less vaguary and obfuscation with clearer definition and delineation of purpose and function of products! Im looking at you Chemical Guys!!! LOL sorry, couldnt resist and since CG are a slow moving target when it comes to blurring the lines...

Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant, its for keeping black trim black, or faded trim black, or tires, vinyl, etc. black and protected. Steve

Mr chrt396, IMO I would leave things be as they are now until your next refresh of Soveran and take this time as a sort of 'grace period' to read up and perfect a proper wash routine as thats where most will argue much of the finish 'damage' occurs. Stripping and starting over just means...

Hello chrt396, Forgive me if I missed it another post of yours but it almost seems as if you're putting the 'cart before the horse'. Once you received the vehicle did you perform a proper 'prep'? By that I mean good solid wash, followed by a clay / decontamination of the paintwork...

Hello liverpoolz, Wolfgang Polish Enhancer is a paintwork 'cleanser', it has no ability to correct or protect the paint finish, what it does do is cleanse the finish as a proper 'prep' for your LSP. It could be applied with something along the lines of the yellow poly foam pad or perhaps...

SonataLF, This is just my take on the situation; to make any headway I think you will want an orange pad, especially hand polishing an entire car. And for any decent finishing I think you will need the white pad. Since you are relying on HDSpeed which is designed for machine application I...

"As It Sits" c2v3, 303 Protectant, Polyester cover (well, it's ON it) :) Steve

Greetings Gentlemen, My name is Steve and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and a bit of my history with 'automotive paint care', and that is, pretty much none! LOL. Historically never been much of a beneficiary to paint systems on vehicles, not all my fault, all...
