    Sealant + Wax longevity

    Thanks again for the help, I think the #1 thing at this point is to keep experimenting, I am not too pleased with the durability on my main car, I think part of it is that I have been topping it with CG buttery wax and while I think the look is good, the durability seems to be far less than my...

    Sealant + Wax longevity

    I recently purchased the color lock wax, It looked good and came off easily. I own 4 cars, and pick up the odd detailing job from people at my office or long running customers when I did it on a full time basis. I like to try different products and see how they stack up in different conditions...

    Sealant + Wax longevity

    I have been trying out different products lately, but in any case I usually do a sealant topped with a wax. I know most sealants are rated for about 6 months, but will adding layers of wax every month or 2 extend this? I have been using Jetseal, but I question it's effectiveness. I would like...

    Thanks,It is an awesome car, it drives night and day compared to that wagon in the background.

    Man, No love, I'll have to get better close up pictures and interior next time, but I was under the gun. Got a close up in the parking garage, he will need a new bumper/rocker, but for now he said he is happy. You can't see it in the picture, but the clear film is still there, I was able to...

    One of my co-workers had a blow-out in his 2015 M3, He brought it to me to get it cleaned up, the rear bumper will need to be replaced thought. It doesn't show it in the pictures but the car was pretty rough. Clayed, sealed, and waxed the entire car. Only compounded and polished the affected...

    Paint too thin?

    On a somewhat related mote, After I polish, seal, and wax an area I get what look like holograms in the sun, but it is the residue of the wax, sealant or polish. I know this is true because if I hit the area with IP, they disappear. Anyway to prevent this?

    Paint too thin?

    Thanks Mike, Got it all polished out. I was amazed how different the Green pad acted on the rupes vs. the white one and especially the HD orbital pads.

    Paint too thin?

    I've had the truck since 05, bought it with 67K on the clock. I can tell the guy never detailed it, probably let alone cleaned it. Heck it took me 3 days to get all the stink/shells from when he spit his sunflower seeds in the center console, yeah, it was gross. I've never focused too much on...

    Paint too thin?

    I recently purchased a rupees 21 to replace my old PC and I love it, so much more powerful, but I want to "polish all the things" now. Anyways, on my 2001 Silverado I have 3 panels that are repaints and the rest are OEM paint. I have no problem polishing the repaints, but I am starting to worry...
