    Sonax Polymer Net Shield - I want to love it, but...

    Yes, I use the beading as the first indicator that LSP is still protecting and then my second indication would be how easily is it releasing the road dirt film. However, PNS is not just a great water beading it also does a great job of resisting water spot etching, leaf debris etching and...

    Do tire cleaners hurt tires?

    Strong APC can hurt a tire by leaching too much of the petroleum wax and carbon black from the tire rubber. LA Totally Awesome is an APC that I felt pulled too much out of the tire. You can keep cleaning and getting dirty suds when you know that the surface has to clean at that point. Then the...

    How about hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle to dissolve the bug guts and then wipe the panel with some WW.

    Pinnacle black label sealant vs. Pinnacle Souveran Wax

    You could do 10-12 cars at least. My bottle is a few years old now. The last time I used it did not seem to last very long where as it was lasting me about 8 months before. I have not tried it again to see if it was the PBL sealant or some other factor.

    GoT Season 8 Watchers

    That's also why the sound was sort of muffled at times. Simulating that adrenaline rush and blocking out the sounds around you as if it was you running around on the battle field. Trying to give you that fight or flight feeling.

    GoT Season 8 Watchers

    I thought for a massive battle scene in the middle of the night in the middle of a blizzard, being lit by nothing more than torches and bonfires, that the lighting was just about right. They were giving you a boots on the ground perspective. I wouldn't expect a lot of dialogue in the middle of...

    Sonax Polymer Net Shield - I want to love it, but...

    PNS is a bit grabby when removing. It also is not a slick sealant. The results are worth it. I think its the best sealant out there. It actually protects the paint, not just bead water.

    OT: What paint colors are the easiest and hardest to maintain? What about look the best?

    I always recommend silver metallic or one of the metallic whites when a customers asks me that question.

    Best glaze/wax for scratches

    Prima Amigo does a pretty good job without being the oily type of glaze. It's has mild abrasives and something to cleanse the paint (mineral oil I think). The glaze is acrylic. Powerlock sealant has always worked well on top without any noticeable loss of durability.

    POLL - What's the number one most important factor when it comes to polishing paint?

    I agree. Its the polishes that have made this easy enough that anyone can polish a car now. I can remember when your compound choices were rocks-in-a-bottle type from 3M, Meguair's and Presta. Then Menzerna PowerGloss came around and that was a huge improvement. I still have a 1/2 a liter of...

    Kranzle New “Swirls Free” Car Wash Method

    Might be okay on something like an RV. I think the Montana brush is rinsing the soap off.

    Need Some Help Learning the MKII 21

    I would have done that section of the hood with a 3" pad on a 8mm stroke machine or 2" pad on the GG3. I know that edging the 21mm can be done, but why would you want to. Kills your pads.

    Polishing, coating, and dealing with slightly faded stripes

    That new Gyeon product PPF Renew might be the right product. When I have polished them in the past I used a non-oily finish polish like 3D Polish+ and a white or black pad. I have also had good luck using Carpro Essence primer on vinyl stripes but they were in decent shape to start with.

    technique vs tool selection

    I think its the abrasives today where the most advancements have taken place. I think they outweigh the tools. As long as you use proper technique you can get the same result with a PC. OP never said anything about the amount of time it takes, which just about everyone mentioned.

    Mothers CMX vs Sonax Polymer Net Shield long term durability test

    Has there been anyone that is getting good results from CMX? I haven't notice anyone praising it. Other than a nice look to it, I have only seen good reports when it is applied to the windows so far.

    Removing ghosted images from lettered van and trailer?

    If it is a white cargo van, then the white paint maybe single stage paint. You can't do anything about the unfaded base color that was under the lettering when it is clear coated, because it is the base coat underneath the clear that has faded on the rest of the car. If it is single stage...
