Hey everyone! Several of my customers have been asking about paint protection film (PPF). There are a few local shops that install various brands: 3M, VentureShield, XPEL, etc., and I have looked into some of the information about each one. Of course all of them seem to be the greatest thing...

Anyone have an MSDS for Glare Professional Polish? I have been getting requests for this stuff from my customers and after researching into the product it looks like it's just a normal sealant with a lot of fillers to hide minor swirls. It also appears to be very similar to Liquid Glass. I have...

In various discussions regarding the quality of certain microfiber towels or the softness of a particular type of wash media there seems to be a prevailing idea that one can test their application by use of the surface of a compact disc (CD). The following information is an attempt to understand...

I am in the process of a long term durability test on Solution Finish. Here are my findings thus far: Solution Finish applied in September. Outside 24/7 for 6 months, bi-weekly washes with Meg's Gold Class, maintained with absolutely nothing. I'm sure it would maintain a darker appearance...
