Thanks for the information. Fortunately it is only one door to attend to. The folks that repaired his truck should be spanked. Ed

Thanks Mike for the information. As always, you've been a great help. My brother's car only has one door that is an issue and wishes to get it back to match the others as best as he can. I will check out your recommendations. Ed

Thanks Mike. I did find that article a couple of weeks ago which gave me the idea of the products to use. I may have missed the last step to use after cleaning up the orange peel? What polish after using the M100? Ed

Hi all, My brother has some orange peel left from a paint job from a repair that he wishes to remove. The plan I have for him is to use Meguiar's M100 with a CarPro Velvet pad and a Porter Cable DA. A couple of questions... What speed do you recommend on the DA? After removing the orange peel...

Thanks so much - this is very helpful. I know with Ultima a little goes a long way but I couldn't find instructions on how much to apply to a pad.

I actually already have both. In examination the paint is in pretty good shape - no dealer installed swirls. As for the Paint Prep plus, do you like to apply it with a DA and if so, how much to apply? Thanks, Ed

Thanks so much.

Hi all, I have a brand new Subaru Forester and need to do the initial decontaminate / polish / seal process. In the past I have used clay with Detailer's Universal clay lube but it looks like that product is no longer available. So, I decided to give a try with the Nanoskin Autoscrub and the...

Hi all, I hope I haven't messed anything up on this but I applied some Ultima Interior Guard + on a cloth seat and have found one area is darker. Evidently when I spritzed the foam applicator that came with the product it was too much and when I applied it the seat soaked it in. Have any of...

Very good. I just took a look at Mike's video that is attached to the product description for the Pinnacle compound and the results were very impressive in a short period of time. I don't know that much about compounds, but if I went that route, what would I have to do after applying the...

Yep - that is what I have always read and follow. Guess I should have asked, which is less aggressive - Orange Pad or swirl remover product. Thanks all!

Hi all, Well, I don't know what happened but it looks like I have introduced some swirls on my vehicle despite following good practice (two buckets, etc.). Now I have to correct the paint but am confused on which I should try first. Should I start with a low cut pad like a white one and use...

Hi all, What kind of cure time is there on Ultima Paint Guard Plus before you can expose it to the road? I usually wait 45 minutes after applying and then apply a second coat but in the past it has been late in the day and I didn't drive the car until the next morning. Thanks for any info. Ed

Thanks for the reply. Paint is in good condition so the prep is more to give the paint gaurd a tooth to stick to. I might flip my plan to apply the paint gaurd in the afternoon and then it can sleep in the car curing overnight.

Hi all, Tomorrow I plan on applying the Paint Gaurd Plus and have a few questions. Plan is to wash, clay, and then apply the Ultima Paint Prep Plus before applying the Paint Gaurd. What is the best way to apply the Paint Prep Plus? I assume it is like the other Ultima products in the...

I'm fortunate that I have a garage to work in, my brother does not but might be able to use our dad's. How long does it take for it to cure?

Absolutely. Our Dad has a garage so he may be able to use that, although I have used Ultima Paint Guard Plus and am tempted to recommend that as to how quick it can be applied.

Actually he is in Ft. Lauderdale.

I just tried that on my car and am quite impressed and it is so easy to apply. I was thinking about getting him some since the application can be done quickly and may work well since he doesn't personally have a garage although our dad does so he could use that.

Hi all, My brother just got a brand new Honda CRV and I am looking for paint sealant recommendations. He lives in south Florida and has no garage so the car is exposed to sun, trees, etc. Paint is in excellent condition, no swirls, etc. Thought is to wash, clay, maybe a paint cleanser to get...
