    Expecting too much from coating?

    For 3 of my coated cars I maintain with a wash weekly ( winter can be a challenge at which time I may do iron remover) followed by a SiO topper every other month ( which only takes 15 minutes).

    Finishing advice / coatings

    I would go coatings route. Recently used WG Profi and BF ceramic coatings; wen on easy ( make sure you do all the prep work ). Big SUV’s really take a lot of time so get a sealant that will give you a good 18 months ( my F150 is a chore, ceramic coated n good for 2 years,easily)

    Is Griots Perfecting Cream watery?

Will see if the garbage went out n will get batch number and get a replacement. One more try with Griots and if I receive milk instead of polish again I am done...

    2022 Porsche GT3

    The person that prepped that beauty should be taken out back to the woodshed for a whooping. Great recovery. Dealer prep is typically boarderlne acceptable ( I received my CaymanS in Nov and did find numerous swirls but nothing like that)
