    Tell me about Xpel Fusion Plus compared to other premium ceramic coatings?

    So my shop installed Xpel Ultimate Plus PPF on the frontal areas of my new M5 and they also applied Xpel Fusion plus on the PPF only, I was going to use Gyeon MOHS Evo but since they've done it I may just leave it alone for now? How good is this stuff?

    Gyeon and their Detailing Guru

    I'm a fan of Gyeon products since I am only a weekend warrior and I am in the same town as Esoteric. Anyways who is this French detailer, pretty good? I am just getting back into detailing after a pause from my children getting born as that was priority first :D

    Removing the ceramic coating before PPF is applied?

    So a high end local installer using Xpel Ultimate Plus told me they don't need to remove the ceramic coating, they will just "adjust the adhesion" to make it more sticky to the paint, that is interesting to hear and I am not all too sure about that. I was going to use Sonax Perfect Finish to...

    Getting back into detailing with Gyeon products after a few years on new M5

    I got a new 2022 BMW M5 and I decide to start fresh and I always love trying new products, besides the Gyeon line-up and for my coating it'll be MOHS Evo, I did add the Sonax Perfect Finish polish. I do plan with Gyeon Iron, bathe, prep etc and the most fun is removing the wheels for cleaning...

    einszett Gummi Pflege Stift' Rubber Care Stick

    Sorry for the noob question, never used this before - but do you remove the red plastic thing between the foam applicator I assume? And then put it back in when done? :buffing:

    Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant 8 oz

    I am going back and forth on getting this. Seems crazy expensive for 8 oz at $30? I do like it does leather, vinyl and plastic. Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant :hotrod2:

    Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Blackfire and DP...so confused

    IIRC these are in house brands, but what sets them apart from each other? Are there subtle quality differences like the car shampoo and microfiber cleaners, besides the price? :buffing:

    UPGP+ Ultima PaintGuard Plus+

    So I used it for the first time today, I forgot that I bought this at the beginning of the year. It looks decent on my new 2015 BMW 535i M-Sport (Carbon Black Metallic), but it doesn't seem to have the "pop" or slickness like Zaino CS. I used 2 coats with 6 hours between, my garage temp was 55...

    Thoughts on Griots Speed Shine?

    So I've been using it for a few months, on my 2nd bottle and I think it might be removing my LSP? I am a Zaino user and when I ran out of the Z-6 I switched to SS because it was on sale and readily available at my local Advanced Auto Parts. Anyways, I notice the area where I use the SS...

    Montana Original 10 inch Boar’s Hair Wash Brush

    Trying to get some facts and opinions on this brush, I really want to buy it, but I'm hesitant that it many mar/scratch my paint even if used correctly or should I just stick with my grout sponge? From the descriptions it doesn't say if it's blond boar's hair or not, which I think is supposed...

    P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo

    So I bought a bottle of this a few months ago and used it today, is it just me or is there zero suds after a few minutes? I'm not sure how well it cleans since my SUV was only dusty. But I will say it left it smooth and slick. Your thoughts or did I do something wrong?

    Which Polisher / Detail Bag?

    Trying to decide what I need, I do like the Griots one - but from their lack of pics I can't tell if they have a lower shelf for pads etc like AGs. The price different is about $20, GG is cheaper and free shipping. It looks like it's made by the same company, except for a few things. I need to...

    What do you dry your car off with?

    I've been using Waffle Weaves from AG and PakShak for many years, but I've been looking into the large Cobra Deluxe Ultra 600 Microfiber Towel, 25 x 36 inch. Would the latter be better for my paint or prevent marring? I always wash my towels after each drying session too.

    5.5" LC pads- help me choose?

    So with the AG sales, good excuse to get some new LC pads - first off, I am just a weekend warrior and do it for fun. As for pads - I was down to the Hi-Gloss CCS pads in Orange, White and Red or would it be better to get the CCS flat ones in the same color? Is the one with the dimples...
