    I assume so.... but I sold the car :( Replacement car will be coated with Gyeon stuff in the spring for testing/review.

    Paint Coating Prices

    I would encourage you to do your own thorough and detailed testing so that you are very familiar with the products, their application, their benefits, and perhaps most importantly - their limitations. Once you consider yourself to be very knowledgeable and experienced with the coatings...

    CarPro Hydrofoam users...please chime in!

    I much preferred "normal" HydrO2 to the HydroFoam.... recently found my original bottle of Hydrofoam in the back of my supplies storage and just tossed it out. It worked well, but it was a little finicky to use in the manner that is described unless you're in perfect conditions (as stated...

    2018 911 GTS Cabriolet

    Man that is one bad car.... If I'm allowed to be picky, I'd say it needs gunmetal wheels though instead of black.

    Does anyone have a video of the Rupes washer mod ?

    As in a video on how to do it? There are plenty of threads and articles out there that go over it.

    i am disappointed from my 21 MK2

    ^^^Very, very good observation regarding keeping the pad flat. This was something that I thought I was doing initially, but I had been using the Porter Cable before we switched to all Rupes machines, and when we did I was struggling to maintain rotation even on flat panels. I believe the...

    CSL vs CQ UK

    Yep - apply to a section, then immediately wipe off. I prefer to use two towels, the first a shorter nap and the second a bit "fluffier". It is a little different if you are used to applying, waiting, wiping... but you will get the hang of it after a couple panels, I'm sure.

    CSL vs CQ UK

    I honestly don't put any weight into the theoretical scratch resistance of a nano coating, but I can tell you that everyone in my shop would pick CSL over CQ or CQUK based entirely on ease of use. CSL wipes away so cleanly and easily. We could coat a vehicle with CSL in about half the time of...

    Measurable coating thickness?

    In my opinion, the paint thickness gauges that the majority of us use for detailing purposes are not the proper tool for truly measuring the "thickness" of nanocoatings. I put the word thickness in quotes because in reality the coatings are exceptionally thin. Most claims fall between the...

    Throwing away microfiber towels after coating?

    For the several years we did almost all coating work, I never threw a towel away after using it to wipe away coating residue. The towels would immediately go into a bucket of water (sometimes with a splash of cleaner in there as well), and would soak until my next laundry day. In those years...

    Clear Cut vs SHC300 vs M101 vs S2 vs Mothers HD

    This was a project I had hoped to start for years and never got around to it due to the time it takes to do it properly. Well done!
