I hand applied Collinite SuperDouble coat was to an ambulance at work as a test in May 2015. The trucks get washed at least once a day. Cheap brushes and car soap are used and one bucket. So far it is holding up well. Also took a video which also shows Pinnacle Black window coating which is...

I have an aftermarket stainless steel exhaust and was wondering what I should use to polish the exhaust. By the way I am looking to polish the exhaust/mufflers and anything that can be seen from the rear of the car to include the tips. My concern is polishing with a metal polish would "burn"...

I have a friend/co-worker who has a hot rod he built that has a matte black paint job which he covered in a matte clear coat. He was asking me questions about detailing it after he saw how my car looked after I detailed mine. My car is not matte, but since he knows I'm into detailing he...

I have leather seats in my car and there is a spot on the driver side seat where the black from the leather has worn away showing gray underneath. I'm guessing it is from where my belt rubs getting in and out of the car. Does anyone know how to fix this? I was thinking of using Dupli-Color...

I know this is a few days early but I am working overnight on Christmas day. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and warm. P.S. Warmer temps. need to hurry up and get here so us in the north can get to detailing again. Mike

I put CQuartz on my brother-in-laws car last month and when I saw him yesterday he told me that he noticed some white streaks on the hood after it rained and asked my what is was and why it did that. He told me that the white streaks wipped off easily. I have not seen this so I have no first...

Washed, decontaminated, corrected/polished and coated with CQuartz.

I ordered and received the CarPro Ceramic Paint Protection Sampler (CarPro Ceramic Paint Protection Sampler Kit, Cquartz sample kit) The sample contains a 10-ml bottle of CQuartz. My question is can I do a 4 door sedan (Acura TL) with a 10-ml bottle? If not then my plan is to use the bottle...

I know this has been addressed on several threads, however, I seem to be at a loss in finding this information. I am going to use PBA/501 on my car and I want to mix the two to instead of one then the other down on the car. I have seen where people said that they use 4 dime size drops of one...

I'm looking at the DP Poli Coat Sealant and the Collinite 845, would it be better to use Collinite 476 or is there no difference? What are your opinions on this? I was thinking that the 476 may last longer than the 845, but I have no experience with either of these and I am just going off the...

I am currently using XMT 360 and I am very happy with it. I previously asked about sealants for the winter, but have since started looking at coatings from some of the replies I had received. Can I put a coating over the XMT 360, or does the coating have to go directly onto the paint? I just...

So I got a DA and used it on my wife's 2003 Escape. I used Pinnacle shampoo, nanoskin on the DA, XMT 360 with a light cutting pad and then topped with Megs NXT 2.0. Also I put aquapel on the front windshield and rear window.

So has anyone taken their DA to the bathroom, more specifically shower walls? I'm sure I'm not the only one that has thought about it. What did you use and how were the results? Obviously you wouldn't do the floor of the tub/shower as it would become a slippery death tub/shower.

I live in PA in the Harrisburg/Lancaster area and I was wondering what the best sealant is for the winter months? I've been looking at Klasse, Duragloss and Collinite. Any input would be much appreciated. Also, this is for daily drivers that unfortunately are not garage kept since we are...

I was looking at all the different types/brands of clay bars and wondering what is the best type to use? I would be using it for daily driver cars. In the past I would use the Megs clay bar that you can get at the local auto parts store. When I was with Tuscarora Dave the other day I forgot...

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I wasn't sure where to post this. Does anyone know of any good detailers in the Harrisburg/Lancaster, PA area? Any help would be appreciated. I am debating on whether to have someone work on my car or do it myself since I've never used a machine...

My fiancee's dad has a Black and Decker 6126 Type 100 he said I could have, but I can't find any info on it and he's not sure where the manual is or if he even still has it. All he could tell me was that it was a polisher and that if you push down on it it stops. Can anyone help me out here...

I have this style buffer/polisher and it is a 10" model. I got it at Christmas several years ago in one of those exchange games. I've never used it, but am really wanting to give it a go. I bought a foam bonnet to use for the paint cleaner, and microfiber bonnets for the paint polish and the...

My name is Mike and I currently live in Texas, but will be moving to Pennsylvania in June. I joined AGO to learn more about auto detailing for personal use. I am not a professional detailer, nor do I want to become a professional detailer, I just want to learn how to better take care of my...
