You can try CarPro's Fabric and Leather coating.

Thanks! There was not enough street parking to move the cars out of the garage. I did not have time to get to the headlights yesterday. I may go ahead and refinish them this week.

Opti-Coat is applied after the paint has been properly prepped and corrected to a reasonable level. When examined under different light sources, it's likely that you have some paint defects (swirls, marring, scratches) that can be improved upon. Here is the overall process: 1) Wash 2)...

I promisd 281 that I would post something on this one. The car was in pretty rough shape (the paint looked dull) and it needed a clean-up before being listed for sale. The goal was to make it a 5-footer. ;) I think the car spent a lot of time under trees since there were yellow dots of sap...

Each situation is different, and paint hardness can vary significant from vehicle to vehicle -- even within the same yr/make/model. Since we do not have any pictures of the defects, it is hard to confirm whether your tools and chemicals are capable of removing the defects. Similarly, it is...

You will need to follow-up Hyper Compound with 106fa/SF4000 before applying Klasse AIO Klasse AIO does not have any cut, and will not be able to remove all of the haze and micromarring from the compounding step.

It will clear up when it breaks down. If you do very slow passes, it will start to clear up significantly by the 2nd or 3rd pass.

I think he's on the west side of the Houston. The shop is called Vive Auto Finishing & Detailing and is ran by Anson Lau. I recently attended the Meguiars/Buff Daddy NXT class with him.

If you manage to get a refund, take it to Will: Windows and Wheels Detailing - Arizona's Premier Auto Detailers - He's local to you, I believe.

Paint sealants are fairly short lived -- they last for 2-4 months on average. I would be looking into a coating for longer term protection. My recommendation would be to find a detailer who installs CQuartz Finest or Opti-Coat Pro. I know of a detailer in your area who does outstanding work...

Depending on the color, high spots are not always easy to spot. Ever try spotting a high spot on a silver car, or a pearl white car under bright conditions? Also, polish -> wipedown -> coat is not always a reliable solution. IPA wipedowns do not always remove all of the oils...especially at...

I disagree. It is quite easy to screw-up an Opti-Coat application, and it's usually due to bonding issues or high spots.

Incredisponge = the firmness and water holding capability becomes very handy.

Thanks Mike.

I am going to guess that the answer is no, because I have not any luck with the device when using it with my bottle of Meguiar's Hyper Wash. Either that, or I'm doing it wrong. Any advice, Mike? Thanks.

It's an AIO - of course it will have some filling capabilities. All waxes will naturally fill to some extent. With that said, D151 is a heavy cut AIO and is often unnecessary for most of the applications that its probably used for. Try something lighter, such as Optimum GPS or HD Speed. If...

Interesting responses. The OP says that PF2500 is too much for a one-step polish, but then one person tells him to use FG400...what? I think M205 would work fine for your needs. It is a very versatile product - use it with MF pads on a LHR21ES for a lot of cut, then finish off using M205 and a...

Wash Dry (mostly) Iron-X, allow to dwell for a few min Spread with damp mf towel or applicator Dwell for a few more minutes Rinse Clay

I would really advise against using any kind of paint cleaner on OC, especially on a DA. It doesn't take much to remove OC 2.0 from my experience.

Rupes all the way. Once you master the operation of the machine, you will find that it will cut every bit as well as the 3401. The forced rotation of the Flex is way overrated. The complaints of lack of rotation on the Rupes are from people who are either using the wrong Rupes for the job, or...
