Hi Mike, long time sir! I have been using ceramics for automotive for quite a whle now and want to use it on a brand new fiberglass boat bottom. What is your recommendation?

I haven't been detailing my stuff for over a year, My home was pounded by Hurricane Irma in the Fl Keys 9/9/17. Since then my life has been in a major change mode, had to gut the house, rebuild it then I sold it and moved. I lost tons of stuff in the storm (350K uninsured losses) on top of what...

Are the backing pads interchangeable?

I put 2 coats on my car a few months back and felt the shine washed out fairly quickly so I decided to give it another go. I went at the tires with a scrub brush and Optimum car wash, surprisingly the foam never turned brown which tells me the coating really helped the tires stay clean. I blew...

I have 2 Sprinter Vans Both High roof LWB in metallic silver One is a 2006 I have owned since new and have been pretty good with paint care considering it is a DD not garage kept vehicle. Annually clayed, and sealed I have mainly used Zaino ZCS on it which has done extremely well keeping it...

I have a client that has a 10 year old boat, it is buffed and waxed annually, but the bottom of the boat has become porous. The boat bottom takes a couple of days to dry when it is lifter out of the water, the surface is dull and stàined. Not so much concerned about appearance as just sealing it...

I bought 4 Opti Coat 2.0 kits when it went out of production. I just bought a 15 Tacoma base model with the black plastic grille and bed trim. Should I use the OC 2.0 on the plastics and expect any life from it or just do the paint and treat the plastic with something else? This will be my...

I bought a new car Christmas Eve. It's black and had been on a lot outdoors for almost a year and is in need of some substantial paint correction. I ordered some products 12/26. Living in Florida I normally receive my AG orders in 1 day. (Florida Keys) I took this week off to do the paint...

I am deep into the last inning negotiating a new car purchase in Naples Fl. It is a black CTS V wagon that evidently has been on the lot for some time. I had noticed a couple of fairly deep scratches and a bird bomb crater on the hood when they pulled it out for me to look at it before test...

Build date 5/14 I bought it Wednesday, washed, and clayed yesterday No swirls visible with my swirl finder. This will be a DD for my wife so total show car finish isn't really an option, I am looking to get long term protection for a vehicle that isn't treated like my Marauder. Questions...

I just bought this truck, used with 10000 miles on it and the paint has been abused. I attempted to do a correction on it this holiday weekend and found it to be the hardest clearcoat I have come across I used my Flex 3403 with Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and although I was able to hologram...

I just bought a 2012 F150 with 10K miles that has been smoked in, evidently heavily. I just bought it last night and after doing some studying here it seems to me I would be much better off just getting someone to do the interior work rather than buying an extractor and an ozone generator. If...

Southern Super Heavy Shootout...

Tried a different method on my car before a car show this weekend. Wash, clay, Pinnacle paint cleansing lotion, Poorboys Black Hole, then Nattys Blue. When I finished I found it was hazy and left streaks when polishing off the product. I tried QD+ on a small area and found it made it worse...

My boat has 10+ year old Awl Grip on it, It has begun to chalk. Has anyone had any luck bringing it back or is it time to squirt it again? I was thinking Opti Coat 2.0?

Did someone get pictures with the trophy winners and their cars/trucks?

Has anyone tried it? Is it worth it on black?

I thoroughly enjoyed this weekends training, it was a pleasure and a privilege to get hands on training with you Mike. I consider myself to be a fairly good enthusiast detailer but I learned a lot from you as well as traded information with other students. I am much more confident after...
