    Best protection from birds? Film or Ceramic

    Any advice on Expel vs Ceramic for bird dripping protection? I have both on my car and have yet to have any bird dropping not cleaned off within an hour. I have a friend with a new car that just had droppings buffed out and doesn't want to worry about it again. They now keep QD in the car and...

    How long to wait before topping ceramic

    My Gtechnic Halo and hybrid (half my car is expel) says to wait 12 hours before introducing water. What about toppers? Do I need to wait longer.

    Thanks Mike and all. Kind of what I thought, but nice to get confirmation.

    What happens to ceramic as it ages?

    Maybe this has been asked before, but what happens to ceramic coating as it ages? Obviously it loses some of its magic, but do you just add a new coat on top as it ages? I have used ceramic before, but never kept a car long enough to have it wear out. Getting ready to install gtechnic Halo to my...

    Best Ceramic for Wheels

    It didn’t occur to me that the finish would be important. I went back to the factory specs and they are indeed painted with a clear coat.

    Best Ceramic for Wheels

    Well I should have mentioned that the aluminum wheels must have some type of clear coat since it’s a brand new Corvette C8. I can’t believe that it’s just bare metal. Should’ve mentioned that up front.

    Best Ceramic for Wheels

    Need a coating for my wheels. I'm looking for durability above all else. It's for the inside barrel portion of my wheels. They are aluminum. Something that is going to make it easier to keep them clean. The shine is not as important as durability, since taking off each wheel to coat them is not...

    Best Chip Repair

    I HATE rock chips and have used the above method for about 15 years. It's not quick, but done carefully, this yields the most undetectable repair have found. I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Langka". This has been my go to for chip repairs when I don't use the above method. I find it much...

    Refinish restorer on to of solution finish

    I have a 2003 Avalanche and I have used Refinish Restorer to treat the plastic for about 5 years. (Can't understand why this site won't carry it) Lately it doesn't bring backthe black as well on some parts. I used Splution Finish yesterday and like the results. After it dries, I was going to put...

    Spray bottles & waterless wash

    That's what I went with, but I parted it out since I only use edgeless towels. Looking forward to receiving them in a week or so.

    Spray bottles & waterless wash

    After reading up more and more about waterless car washes, I'm ready to start using them. For my use, they seem like a natural. My questions are this: 1) What type of spray bottles do you use for products you need to dilute? I'm a fan of Blackfire products and was going to buy a couple of...

    Dirty car cover

    I bought a 2006 Z06 a few months ago. It came with a custom fitted Z06 cover. My concern is that the previous owner didn't always dust the car off before covering it. I polished out the finish that had a lot of fine scratches. I'm worried that the inside of the cover may be contaminated with...

    Need help with black Corvette

    I'm in no way an expert, but I have an 06 red Vette. I am seriously picky about the finish. I can speak for my one effort only. The Meg 105 with my flex, took out just about everything but actual scratches. I polished those scratches till the cows came home and they wouldn't come out. I used...

    Car wash scratches on C6 Vet

    I can't thank you guys enough. 205 = zip. No difference that I could see. 105 = WOW. I followed with 205, but I don't know if it even made a difference. The 105 really did it. I would have never guessed that I needed something that aggrssive to take out such small scartches. This a geat site...

    Need a good tire dressing

    I have always liked having my tires with that new satin black look. I used armour-all for years and recently went to various other over the counter tire dressings. They all seem to last for a few car washes or one drive in the rain. Now that I'm on this site every day, I notice lots of comments...

    IME, M105 reacts different on different paint systems...

    Hey 07 Z oh 6, I have an 06 Z oh 6 (red) How do you like the M105 for your front bumper? Or is there something better? I have heard the clear coat on the panels is really hard and the 105 works well. I'm waiting for a little time to take some car wash scratches out of mine. (previous owner) I'm...

    Car wash scratches on C6 Vet

    I bought a C6 Z06 from a freind. Apparently he ran it through a car wash (makes the hair on my neck stand up). The finish looks good, but in certain light (especially flourecent ant night) you can see the finish is covered with small fine scratches. I tried Meg 205 with a LC orange pad and...

    Griot's 3" vs Using 4" with PC

    I faced the same choice. When I saw the limited pads available for the 3" I went with the PC. I got the 2-7/8" backing plate for 3" pads and 3-1/2" for 4" pads. Now I have the best of both worlds. The GG 3" was smaller and lighter, but when I saw how much less power the motor had, I went with...
