Hi all, quick question. What type of pads do you use on your RO polishers to polish glass. Not looking to remove scratches or pock marks; just water marks, wiper streaks, etc. Reason I ask is I tried an orange foam pad with 3D One, and noticed, after cleaning it with glass cleaner, that it...

Hey all, Just got my daughter's Jeep JL back in the driveway. We bought this for her back in 2021, and she has since moved out. When first purchased, I coated the trim with CarPro DLux. Of course, now that is isn't home, it hasn't been getting as much TLC. Here are some photos...I have done a...

Hey all...long story short. Just bought a new Sportage (my Escape, which had 122K miles on it, had the torque converter bite the dust, and I couldn't see putting any more money into it, although the trade in I got was helped tremendously, since the paint was in pristine condition, thanks to you...

Hey all, Can anyone give me some tips/tricks applying Griot's Ceramic 3-1 Spray Wax on a black car? I am detailing my sister in law's Jeep Compass (black, obvously), and have noticed that it streaks really easily. The only way I have been able to get rid of them is after appying, going over...

Hey all... Looking to see if I can run smaller pads on my 7424. Currently have it running 3 inch pads, since I have a larger RO for the big surfaces, but it would be real helpful to convert to smaller (also with perhaps some kind of extension to reach into wheels, around headlights, etc.). Any...

You can delete if this works. Thanks Eric Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Hi all, The set of wheels on one of my cars has a pattern which doesn't lend themselves to applying a wheel coating with a normal applicator. I thought I saw something about using Make Up applicator pads. Are we talking about the round cotton ones that you can get in the local drug stores? Or...

Hi all, At the suggestion this thread: Jeep Hard Top Coating? I started cronicling how long Carpro Dlux will protect my new Jeep Hard Top. Coat Date: 11/5/2020 Region: NYC Suburb 11/11/2020 First Rain. Photos of water action on both left and right rear, which I think will be conclusive on...

Hey all, Just got a new addition to the family, Jeep Wrangler 4-Door JL Willy's addition. Searched, and couldn't find any recommendations for coating the hard top (I owned a 92 wrangler, and boy do you have to keep up with all the plastic and the hard top, if you don't want to drive around in...

Hi all, Trying to repurpose a blue glass bottle that held ceramic coating, and had dried on the surface of the bottle. Tried Mineral Spirits - Strike 1. Tried Acetone - Strike 2. Can you think of anything that would working cleaning this off, or should I just bite the bullet and find...

Couldn't resist...I have two more days before I "detail" the kitchen: Eric

Hi all, Searched, and couldn't find any info on this concoction. Mention of Aquawax mixed with ONR via google, though. What would be a good ratio to mix, when utilizing N-914 as a QD (ratio as straight QD/waterless is 128:1)? Thoughts/experiences? I am trying to save some time, since I...

Hey all, I am recoating my wife's DD this weekend, and have come across a few threads regarding placing "something" on top in order to keep dew from affecting the coat, until it's fully cured. Can't find those threads now, but haven't looked too hard (yet). But I am more curious as to how/why...

All, Long story short...I coated my daughter's car this summer, prior to her going back up to school in Bnghamton, NY. She cam back this past weekend, so I had the chance to do a decon wash. After the wash, the car beaded just like new, no problem there (I was worried, because the coating was...

Has anyone been able to successfully stored an open bottle of ceramic coating over a year? Curious, as that will affect my next purchase choice of which one to get, or whether to just go back to a sealant (tried to store Mckee's 37 in fridge to reapply to a vehicle previously coated last year...

Hey all, Anyone know how to do this? The original 7424, not the XP. I watched a video on youtube showing the breakdown and regreasing of the XP, and it is very similar. Seems as if the only difference are the way the brushes are in place (mine are around a plastic housing held in by a torx...

Hey all... I had stored my bottle of Mckee's 37 V2 Ceramic coating after my cars were coated approximately 2 years ago (yes, it did it's job well) in a dark bottle in the fridge, since I had more than enough left over to handle more cars. I am working on recoating, and doing certain panels at...

All, I have been using nothing but this stuff when claying (not many choices back in the early 90's ). Have tried others, but nothing came close to this IMO. My only question is if any of you have used it, where, in your opinion, would it fall as far as grade is concerned? Fine, Medium...

All, Going to start prepping my Ford Escape for a fresh coat of ceramic coating. Want to try using iron remover before the clay step (never used it before, but it seems as if it will definitely help the process along, since it will remove a lot of stuff that could get caught in the clay). I'm...
