    Protecting Headlights - Clear coat & PPF Film?

    Strange to paint brand new headlights IMO. Does he warranty also if you put PPF on them? If so go with PPF them for extra protection. He may have done some sanding and added the clearcoat he uses. It can be enough doing this especially if he knows what the headlight manufacture used on their...

    Ceramic Coating water spots

    The new Carpro Wool Cutting Pads seems great. The cleaning up from the rotary polisher and wool cutting pad. I think will be easier and you can get away with a less aggressive combo to squeze out a little extra gloss on the finishing polish. Carpro Essence Extreme Gloss Enhancer is an awesome...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Was going to drive and pick up my brother and niece from the bus. Had my stepfathers Ford Focus and I have not been maintaining it any good. We have had rain or very humid weather conditions for almost 3 months now with maybe one good weather day per week or so. This has made the interior so wet...

    Optimum Glass Coat over pitted windshield?

    I would say try it out with polishing glass. And it depends so much on the glass and the deepth of the defects. If they catches your nail in a kind of easy way nope those you will not be getting out. A rotary polisher and CeriGlass or going to the most effective polish is pure cerium oxide...

    Protecting Headlights - Clear coat & PPF Film?

    I can understand why the PPF installer where worried. Usually if you where to paint the headlights again. You sanding down to the plastic so you take off any oem protection on the headlights. Then you use a special primer that's clear and made to be to flex with the quick heat build up and...

    Griots G9 Not spinning

    I will let others chaim in on the size of the extension cord or if you are certain it's enough it's fine with me. I'm on 230v here in Sweden so we don't have such of a problem with the extension cords to be enough sized out other than you get to extreme length of them and such. Have you tried...

    Optimum Glass Coat over pitted windshield?

    If you put in some time and thoroughly cover up the surroundings of the windshield. The Carpro CeriGlass and their Rayon Glass Polishing Pads can at least knock down the most of the edges of pitting and deeper scratches. So it's clareing less. I did this on a bad back window on a hatchback. So...

    Microfiber towel Lint

    It's much about the weave when it comes to the glass mf towels. I have not seen the kind of no nap mf glass towels that I use in a shop in US sadly. They usually costs around $4. Also as mentioned above a waffle weave mf glass towel can work good as well. Think there are glass mf towels that has...

    Griots G9 Not spinning

    This may sound crazy but just to be sure. Do you use an extension cord? If so try without it. If you don't and still a problem without the extension cord. Try the polisher in another electric outlet that's not on the same fuse. Just to take out if it's any problems on your side of the end. If...

And you are not alone with it would have been awesome to test it out on a track. But think even if I might be a good driver I would not be able...

    iK 1.5 Sprayer "Settings"

    As others has mentioned the small foamers are just not able to keep the pressure for a longer time. That's cause it's also use the compressed air to get you the foam rather than just put out the solution. It seems to be a foamer that don't do this but I'm not certain about. That it takes the air...

    cheap Non Acidic pH Balanced wheel cleaner

    Wow I didn't know it where that high alkaline D143. That's extremly high ph level and as you mentions even if it's diluteble it don't get much lowered ph level of them afterwards. I would say if you have wheels that can handle both D143 and D140. D140 is not that acidic ph level that you would...
