    TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray has been out for some time now. i can not find any reviews on multi month durability. TW claims up to 12 months and I'm wondering what real world lasting ability is.

    Difficulty removing m205

    I polished a 2019 black 4 Runner using Meguires M205 and had very hard time wiping it off after using DA and orange foam pad. I resorted to using a wool pad on the DA lightly with a m105 to remove the residual m205. I've used m205 in the past and it always wiped off with little effort. M205 was...

    OK to polish with AIO before CMX

    I'm going to try CMX and was planning to polish with HD Speed followed by an IPA wipedown prior to the CMX. Would it be advantageous to use pure polish without a sealant (Megs 205) Will the sealant component interfere with the CMX bonding?

    help, do I need a mini DA really?%%%%

    I have 3 DAs. A Groits, a long throw, and a HF. I use a 3"BP on my Groits and it seems to work pretty good. It's the last day to get the Adams mini @ 19% off. I read good reviews on their mini and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

    I'm resisting buying any more detailing products

    I was considering getting McKees coating while on their 25% off no minimum sale. But I have a variety of good sealants and feel that I should use them up. I'm a hobbyist and do friends and families cars. I just hate to waste stuff. What to do??

    what does 9H mean in relation to coating

    I'm thinking it's meant to designate hardness. Diamond being a hardness of 10.

    PA High Gloss with DA

    I'm a fan of High Gloss and have been using as per instructions of either spritzing the panel or the applicator. I always got hazy trails of film that took effort to remove with mf. I decided to use the long throw DA with black pad and slow speed. Worked great and used very little. One small...

    why doesn't Britemax AIO get any love

    I got a free bottle of Britemax AIO about a year here, but haven't used it until now. Used on my grandson's BMW. It's mildly abrasive but cleaned and polished with little to no effort to wipe down. Great gloss and shine. Decided to use on my Benz. Topped with PA High Gloss. Very good product IMO.

    Am I the only one who wants the old store website back. Before you could scan the entire product line efficiently. Now one has to schroll endlessly. No fun.

    Dewalt 849x vs Hitachi

    I was about to pull the trigger on PE 14 realizing its probably the best choice for me. However in a moment of clarity it's too much money for something I'll use 4-8 times a year. So it comes down to either the well loved here Dewalt or the Hitachi that doesn't get much love here. Same price...

    Hydro Blue question

    As I understand, Hydro Blue will bond best on bare paint, but I'm thinking of trying it on a well maintained car. Rather than clay, I was thinking of using P21 paint cleaner to remove contamination and provide slight correction. Will P21s hamper bonding? Help bonding since surface is clean?

    Recommendation for trim and seal cleaner

    I'm looking for a product to clean old polish and wax from body trim and body seams. Mostly concerned about felt like trim around sun roof. Something effective yet gentle.

    1 bucket wash method

    I just watched a YouTube video by Forensic Detailing. He hose rinses a short nap mitt after each panel. Shows how it keeps mitt cleaner and safer for paint and how this is better than the trusted 2 bucket method.

    PA High Gloss question

    I just got my High Gloss order and I'm wondering if it has better gloss and durability as a stand alone sealant (as in product description) or as a topper over lsp(sealant).

    Does anyone have feedback on the Adams SK 15mm long throw

    I saw the Adams long throw polisher for 229 dollars, but can only find 2 reviews. Too good to be true? Cheap Chinese POS? Wondering if anyone has experience with this long throw DA.

    Question about IPA wipedown

    I plan on using an IPA(10%)wipedown for the fist time in attempting to maximize bonding of LPS and appearence. On the first vehicle I will not polish, but will use a non abrasive paint cleaner. Is there any benifit to using an IPA here after cleaner and before LPS? On the next vehicle, I'll be...

    Severely water spotted Infinity wheels. My plan. Feedback wanted.

    I will be doing a detail on my friends 2007 Infinity. I don't know if the wheels are clearcoated or not. The wheels have been hit with the sprinkler for more than a year and are badly water spotted and stained. I plan on starting with Iron X followed by Carpro Spottless. I will then use PS21...
