GMC Yukon owner: How much to detail my vehicle? Me: $300 and it will look stellar! Owner: I’ll get back to you. Me: (thinking) No you won’t. I know the guy from my regular job. He recently bought a new black BMW and isn’t worried about getting that detailed. It’s the 15 year old SUV he...

I shared my experience with NSP Z1 in the Dr Beasley’s thread...but not this photo.

I think any decent soap with a couple good separate wheel and tire brushes should work on most anything. Tires being the hardest to really get deep down and clean, however.

I picked up the FLEX xfe 15 cordless DA package for 25% off two weeks ago. I checked the other models, and they weren’t being discounted. That aside, I’m eager to try out the new CarPro goods.

I’m in the midst of another horse trailer detail. This one has a fiberglass roof and vinyl sides. I think fiberglass can be lightly polished (?). If not, I will do a final wash with CarPro HydrO2 for some all-over protection. Karcher 1700 pressure washer is getting a big time workout...

Phenomenal here! [emoji1317] ☀️ ⛅️

I did an extremely sloppy and careless waterless/rinseless wash on the Edge. -Leftover CarPro reset bucket, half-full -a few microfiber towels -Big Red Sponge -CarPro Ech2O -Blue Magic Juice (which is Ech2O with Reload added to it) -ONR diluted in a spray bottle I skipped the wheels. It’s...

For horizontal panels, one could put drops of Z1 onto the surface of the vehicle. Or is that a bad practice? I too, had some product drop to the ground.

Thank you OP, Brian Something. This was the easiest roof washing I’ve ever done. There’s another one on the passenger side of the car, as well. [emoji846]

TiO2 is also used in CQuartz Light. ...helps with reflectivity, I think? I’m looking forward to this new Si component.

Great show today. He did mention that NSP 45 would be the preferred primer to use before applying a coating (think I got that right). Not that Z1 can’t be used, however.

Score! Thanks!

10 hours worth of work. Probably more, but the first panel I started on showed me that doing a one-step on heavily oxidized paint wasn’t happening. Wash: -Karcher 1700 pressure washer w/ RV water filter -Malco Ceramic Prep wash -Ethos Foam Party pre wash -Nanoskin 6” clay pad on a Porter...

Good times I need a lot of new pads

After the initial polishing I noticed some spotting, blotch marks after wiping. Just a couple small ones. On the second test panel (not on video), I did a few rapid back and forth passes with light pressure then immediately wiped off. No residue left over. The blessing and curse of white...

How are you liking the PXE? I’m all geeked out on the XFE. Batteries are charging now.

I let it rest for a couple mins, then did a couple more passes. I wasn’t counting aloud, so forgive me. Here’s a video I made of the Z1: I’m a better photographer than a videographer. My speaking voice might be a little low, I thought the Bluetooth earbuds microphone was recording audio...

Before: After: Orange hex pad on a 15mm DA Non-aggressive passes. Speed 4.5, three passes or so. Smells like grapefruit. I like it.

I am working on a horse trailer this week. It’s 17 years old and has never been detailed (polished or waxed), and has rarely been washed. Being that it’s white, my before and after photos won’t translate that well. There is plenty of oxidation and some swirling on it. I have a fresh tube of Z1...

Thanks. I did some research and found that specifically, the URO Fiber 50/50 pad(s) can work well with primer polishes on harder finishes. In the future, I will look for micromarring after finishing. I’ve used LC microfiber finishing pads in the past and haven’t noticed any marring. But I did...
