    DuraGloss #111 clearcoat polish....thoughts

    I've read in this thread people use 501/601 then 105/601. However 105 packaging indicates its a "cleaner" and sealant all in one product (at least on my bottle). Wouldn't the cleaner part of 105 remove the protection provides by 501 first step? Wouldn't 111 be a better topper as a pure sealant...

    paint sealant for glass?

    Well, not sure why you would use 845 on glass, the manufacturer states to not do so. That's like saying I used a butter knife for surgery and it didn't work out well, therefor it must be the fault of the product. Found here: FAQs » Collinite " 6. Are any Collinite products recommended on...

    Help!

    What do you have? Just try any APC dilluted to proper strength, I use Meguiars. Mostly on my interiors though I've been using Meguiars #40 Vinyl and Rubber lately. I like that especially on dash and electronics. Just spray on your MF first, not on the fake trim, don't soak it.

    Clay lubes

    Many people like ONR for lube, in my case I found it causing "stiction" after a few passes using 4 different types of clay on 2 different makes/models of vehicles. It would work find for 2-3 rubs, then stick, hard, causing clay to stick and come off the bar and mar the paint. I then tried again...

    Help!

    How much water? If it got behind the molding, its probably fogging there now. Can you try to wipe away with a proper interior trim product? If you don;t have that do you have diluted APC to interior trim strength ? If you don;t have that can you mix up some Dawn and hot water and wipe away with...

    Same amount, 2 weeks I started to see them again, had a lot of rain, a few washes too. Correction, the hood swirls returned after 2 weeks, the light swirls/scratches on vertical panels are still not back 100% yet.

    paint sealant for glass?

    I used Jetseal 109 on glass, per instructional video on Chemical Guys website, works great, beads/sheets water like mad. Going to use Menzerna Powerlock 2 coats, before winter, on glass and headlights/foglights.

    CG Blacklight correction habilities ? Pictures ?

    I used it on our dark metallic grey Subaru, does have fillers, but didn't correct , swirls returned (I used with LC CCS grey finish/polish pad however). Perhaps if used with pad that has cut it might correct, but then again, might just be the pad that corrects. I'd call it a glaze/filler that...

    my detail - problems

    WOW! This guy sure sounds like a winner. If I was the OP I'd sue for the damage done and paint removed by shoddy buffer use.

    my detail - problems

    Someone earlier in this thread wanted to know how that hack became successful ? Check "extras" on his website "Clay Service (new clay bar) - Starts $69.99". $70/hour of work. That's how. So a basic exterior wash and clay is about $100, on a small car, and by the looks of his "handy work" I bet...

    So the city i live in declined my business license.....

    That's right, your not in business. You are helping a friend out. That's all. Its easier to ask forgiveness than permission!

    my detail - problems

    They left rotary swirls (aka holograms) you can see it in his pictures. These guys do it all the time, unless its a black car, might not show up right away to most people. And the rest buy the BS excuse the "pro detailer" gives them about sealants not bonding to paint ( hilarious!). They need...

    my detail - problems

    This sounds like another infamous case of the "pro detailer" who use a rotary buffer only, a compound and polish and probably a sealant all mixed on the wool pad to save time. Have pictures you can upload? Might be a real detailer on these forums who is near you who can fix it the right way.

    Aww Shucks...Review Time!!!

    USed this last week, didn't notice any staining, I sprayed on the car one section at a time, worked it in with MF mitt (old one I no longer use) gently, then sprayed everything off with a hose, section by section. Since it had a solvent smell to it, I sprayed everything off pretty good. Dried...

    2010 BMW M5 by Advanced Detailing of South Florida

    They are all imported from Germany per se. Most American dealers don't order manuals so you need to order it and wait. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using AG Online

    First detail of my 2012 VW

    Its to protect it in shipment from sea salt (ocean air). That could potentially sit on the car and then a car lot, then transport, then a car lot for months. So that goop is for protection, I had a BMW 328xi (also Made in Germany) with the same stuff on it from the dealer. I think I used...

    What is the annual income for an auto repair business?

    Usually forum trolls post funny stuff to get people worked up, but his threads aren't even funny or thought provoking. Its just...odd. Does his IP address match any other posters? That's usually a quick way to find out who it is.
