I was thinking about the best possible combo for this winter. I want a topping wax that would contain as less solvent as possible to avoid affecting KSG. Would 2 layers of KSG + 2 layers of FK1000P be the ultimate winter combo?

And this is my new favorite combo for blacks! Powerlock gives the clarity, Souveran gives the wet look. :dblthumb2:

Hey fellow detailers, I need to do a heavy compound on a Chevy Avalanche and don't know what kind of clear hardness to expect. Is it similar to the newer Corvettes and Mustangs (medium to hard), or if it's as soft as let's say a Honda? Thanks

Hey fellow detailers, I know that this question has been asked over and over, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer to this. Since Power Lock was released 3 months ago, has anybody observed a lack of durability? Thanks, Yan

Hey fellow detailers :props: I'm not quite satisfied with the cut of PO106FF, but I like the way it finishes. For a 1-step polish on a dark colored car, would adding some SIP to PO106FF slightly increase the cut while still giving a nice deep finish? Or if I should stick to one single Menzerna...

Hello, I was wondering what was the best layering strategy with regards to Colli 845. I really like to get the best of each product, but I'm worried that 845 contains cleaners that would prevent me from doing so. For example, would it be possible to layer: -1x Klasse SG, waiting 24 hours -1x...

Dear fellow detailers, Please note that: 1) I'm not pretending this will improve the KB method 2) I'm not a pro This is a simple question. While testing the KB method, after the typical 3-drops + pressure step, I found that spraying a tiny bit of diluted ONR on the panel to keep working it...

Hey fellow detailers. :buffing: I offer engine shampoos to all my customers for no additional cost as part of 2-step polishes or compound packages. I cover all electrical components and ensure the engine isn't hot prior to washing. I only use fire hose nozzles to ensure there's no pressure at...

Hi, How to you proceed when a customers asks for JUST an engine shampoo? Unlike a full detailing job, you don't have time to let the engine cool down because there's so long the customer can wait. I'm always worried about the ultra hot engine block reacting to ice cold water. Would filling a...

Hello guys, I'm preparing a GT500 tonight and did some readings. On the upper sections (hood, trunk, upper area of the doors/fenders), I see 110-120 µm. On the other hand, when going down, I see as low as 85-90 µm on some areas. My initial plan was to use the following combo on the entire car...

I'm mainly detailing sports cars as a hobby and somebody asked me approximately how much I'd charge for his Chevrolet Avalanche. By experience, how much more time in % do you spend on such a big vehicle in comparison to a Mustang or Corvette?

Hi, I'm looking for the easiest, best looking and decently durable combination on dark colors. Would 845 + Souveran paste be a good combination? Would applying the Souveran take some 845 off? What about light colors? Would Collinite 845 + M16 be a good choice? Thanks. Yan

Hi. A friend of mine had a minor accident and asked me to correct his STI for free. The impact was quite bad and the door was bent. I have a flex 3401. Knowing that the Subaru paint is soft, I proceeded with the following steps: - wet sanding w/ 2000 paper - purple wool and m105 without...

Hi! Today, I gave PB Black Hole a first try to and was amazed by the hiding capabilities. One quick pass with the Flex 3401 on blue CCS pad gave results very similar to M105 on orange pad followed by P106FA. It took care of 99% of the swirls. Of course I know it's only temporary, but for a...

I buffed this aftermarket rear wing last week with my orbital Flex. I really took care of generating no heat because i knew these plastic parts could react to heat. The passes were very fast (~10-15cm per second) without any pressure. The paint was still ice cold after each step: - M105 on...

Just tried this combo today and wow! On this red, it was pretty amazing. - Yellow Riccardo clay - M105 using the KB method w/ the Flex 3401 - Menzerna SIP on white pad - Menzerna 106FA on black pad - Klasse AIO on the entire car - 2 layers of EX-P - 1 layer of Souveran
