    Stains on rims

    The products you used should not have caused that. They are safe to use on coated surfaces. Again that is nothing abnormal. Water causes that reaction as well. Any fluids to the rotors will cause that look except for oil, but I would not recommend you put oil on your rotors if you plan on...

    Stains on rims

    Rotors discolor like that with just water. I have seen it a million times. OP probably took pics of the wheels right after he tried detailing them on his own so they have been sitting awhile. Once you move the car and apply the brakes that discoloration disappears. However, it does appear...

    How much am I looking at for professional new car prep and coating?

    I would still have a professional do this kind of work for you. I have seen all too many amateurs try and lay ceramic coatings with all sorts of leveling issues. The worst part is they usually do not know how to paint prep properly so the end result shows.

    Rupes Ibrid Nano polisher is NOW here!

    I would consider a battery powered DA if the battery technology is there. So being powerful, lightweight, relatively compact, and decently long battery life. This machine is only good for very light polishing and waxing.

    Prepping for cquartz

    Your leveling time for that product and temp range sounds appropriate. For second layer just make sure area is free of debris (you should not have to decon the paint again). Depending on amount of debris will depend on if you need to do a full wash or just a quick detail wipe down. Only...

    How much am I looking at for professional new car prep and coating?

    Since you are in Pittsburg I highly recommend a high quality job be done and multiple layers of ceramic be installed all over the car! You are probably looking at well over 1000 for something like that but honestly that money will literally protect your vehicle and in the long run save you...

    Rupes Ibrid Nano polisher is NOW here!

    I am not sure what the cause of the issue is. However, when using the machine it kinda sounds like when you were a kid and you had a bicycle and you put one of those playing cards on your bike so that when the wheel would spin it made a ticking sound. I have a feeling maybe some debris got...

    Prepping for cquartz

    I would say depending on the application is what would dictate what you would need to do to prep it for a ceramic based coating system. Not every application is the same. This is where consulting a professional would be the best advice if you wanted to optimize your coating. As far as not...

    Nissan gtr navigation help

    Pics and a detailed explanation of how you detailed the screen would help. I have never had this issue and I have done probably a bazillion screens both oem and aftermarket. Are you spraying the product directly onto the screen or near it? Also your client may not know if this "discoloring"...

    armor all products,

    I have actually been to Dubai several times. I never really looked to see what detailing products were available there cause I was there due to military and government contracting. I have to say I definitely enjoyed my time there. So much to see so little time to see it! I would usually stay...

    armor all products,

    I am not sure if you have ever traveled overseas, but in a lot of places they do not carry the same products that we carry here in the CONUS. Due to the fact I am not exactly sure which armor all products they have I can not confirm which ones they do carry. Which is why I mentioned to check...

    armor all products,

    Ummm they usually offer free shipping on orders over $150. Or I think you can use the code "ago" and it is a promo code for free shipping. Now to the question why is armor all "bad?" Answer: Well for most people that want to not only enhance the look of their interior but also protect for...

    Best protection for chrome

    No worries. I guess I also should have fully explained my previous statement in that carnauba based waxes do work for painted wheels, however I do not like using that kind of coating option when doing wheels that get used often and the owner doesn't really keep up on their maintenance. I...

    help please..I'm in trouble

    I have been using Dr. CC ever since the product debuted. I have never had this issue. I would like the OP to post some pics also to give us a step by step detailed process of what he does. I am pretty sure it is user error here. Also 1 thing to note is after you are done using the leveling...

    Best protection for chrome

    Clear coated with typical waterborne or solvent borne paint? No Now some people do get their chrome powder coated clear to help maintain the chrome coating. However not all chrome pieces can get away with that ie. Exhaust parts due to the heat.

    Best protection for chrome

    Well yea if you are cleaning your dust off regularly then any coating will do. I am simply talking about for those who do not do that. Also it depends on the kind of usage. There are many factors involved with detailing. If your Collinite method works for you then great! All I am saying...

    Best protection for chrome

    I skimmed through some of the posts here and I just wanted to clear a few things up. 1) polish is not a sealant or wax of any kind. Unless on the bottle it states it is an AIO type of product then there is no sealing properties. Polishing refers to correcting. 2) do NOT utilize carnauba...
