    Can any waterless wash concentrate product be used as detailed?

    Some waterless wash concentrate products are advertised as being used as a Rinseless wash and spray detailed also, in addition to being used as a waterless wash. Can all waterless wash concentrate products be used as a Rinseless wash and also spray detailed even if they aren’t advertised this...

    Essence Plus and Reload

    I've been reading up on both of the above products and from what I gather both were initially created to work on coatings but can also be used on uncoated paint as well. The Autogeek page states that Essence Plus will repair fine scratches and swirls. In my mind, an analogy for Essence Plus...

    Quick Detailer and Spray Wax

    I always thought that these were two different types of products, but when I clicked into 'Quick Detailers and Spray Waxes' on the Autogeek website, it states "Some call them “spray waxes,” some call them “QDs” (quick details), but whatever you call them, don’t call them insignificant. These...

    Elcometer 311FNF

    Is anyone familiar with the above coating thickness gauge? Does this measure paint and clear coat thickness? Or does it just measure overall thickness (paint plus clear coat)? In looking at the datasheet, I'm thinking it does not measure clear coat only. A guy at work has a used one he said...

    Hail damage repair?

    Just had hail hit my vehicles last night. About the size of golfballs. I've heard where many of these can be popped out, but I've read that it can weaken the integrity of the clearcoat. It sounds to me like you really need to have a car's clear coat resprayed after the dent repair. Has...

    Road Salt Stains in Carpet

    Now that spring is approaching, I need to remove caked in/on road salt stains under my gas pedal, where for some reason, my car manufacturer's car mats don't cover. I have never had much luck getting these stains out. I've been able to reduce the stain, but it still doesn't look good...

    Typical Defect Depths

    Just wondering if it is possible to measure, and if it is, if anyone knows how deep typical defects are. I don't know if there is such a thing as 'typical' swirl depth or how you would measure it, but would be interested in any measurements that anyone knows of. And, for those of you who have...

    Which traditional paint sealant has the best durability?

    Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on which traditional paint sealant gives the best durability. (traditional as in Wet Diamond, DP Policoat, Griots Garage Paint Sealant, Menzerna Power Lock, etc). Particularly interested in pure sealant (no polishing or cleaning ability or AOI's). Doesn't...
