    Best protection from birds? Film or Ceramic

    Any advice on Expel vs Ceramic for bird dripping protection? I have both on my car and have yet to have any bird dropping not cleaned off within an hour. I have a friend with a new car that just had droppings buffed out and doesn't want to worry about it again. They now keep QD in the car and...

    My Gtechnic Halo and hybrid (half my car is expel) says to wait 12 hours before introducing water. What about toppers? Do I need to wait longer.

    What happens to ceramic as it ages?

    Maybe this has been asked before, but what happens to ceramic coating as it ages? Obviously it loses some of its magic, but do you just add a new coat on top as it ages? I have used ceramic before, but never kept a car long enough to have it wear out. Getting ready to install gtechnic Halo to my...

    Best Ceramic for Wheels

    Need a coating for my wheels. I'm looking for durability above all else. It's for the inside barrel portion of my wheels. They are aluminum. Something that is going to make it easier to keep them clean. The shine is not as important as durability, since taking off each wheel to coat them is not...

    Refinish restorer on to of solution finish

    I have a 2003 Avalanche and I have used Refinish Restorer to treat the plastic for about 5 years. (Can't understand why this site won't carry it) Lately it doesn't bring backthe black as well on some parts. I used Splution Finish yesterday and like the results. After it dries, I was going to put...

    Spray bottles & waterless wash

    After reading up more and more about waterless car washes, I'm ready to start using them. For my use, they seem like a natural. My questions are this: 1) What type of spray bottles do you use for products you need to dilute? I'm a fan of Blackfire products and was going to buy a couple of...

    Dirty car cover

    I bought a 2006 Z06 a few months ago. It came with a custom fitted Z06 cover. My concern is that the previous owner didn't always dust the car off before covering it. I polished out the finish that had a lot of fine scratches. I'm worried that the inside of the cover may be contaminated with...

    Need a good tire dressing

    I have always liked having my tires with that new satin black look. I used armour-all for years and recently went to various other over the counter tire dressings. They all seem to last for a few car washes or one drive in the rain. Now that I'm on this site every day, I notice lots of comments...

    Car wash scratches on C6 Vet

    I bought a C6 Z06 from a freind. Apparently he ran it through a car wash (makes the hair on my neck stand up). The finish looks good, but in certain light (especially flourecent ant night) you can see the finish is covered with small fine scratches. I tried Meg 205 with a LC orange pad and...

    Polishing edges

    I have a new Flex DA and love it. Did my first two practice cars to get the hang of it. Now I'm ready for my Corvette Z06 and my freinds new 08 BMW 750. I can't afford any hard lessons. I am concerned about all the edges (Corvettes have a lot of them) and polishing through the clearcoat. Should...

    How many passes? How much time?

    Just got my flex and tried it out tonight. Used M205 with a yellow ccs pad. The car is a still slightly shiny 10 year old gold toyota camry paint. The cars owner won't do much if any upkeep. It's just a practice car for me, so I didn't bother with a clay bar. So I spent about a hour with the...
