Hi, I preformed a two stage correction polish and then prepped the car so I put a coat of GTechniq CSL. The car came out pretty good if I do say so myself. I ran out of time and did not get around to putting down a coat of GTechniq EXO (I purchased the GTechniq EXO and CSL Kit). It's been a...

Hi, I have 3 personal cars that get the 'detail' treatment at my house (Lexus, Mustang, Pontiac Trans Am). I've done the 2-3 steps correction process and they look good for awhile (2 of these cars sit outside all the time). I like using collinite 845 but been contemplating use a 'coating'...

Hi, I have a 90' Mustang with a vinyl top. I washed the top with a vert cleaner and then treated the top with 303. It turned out great! If I wash my car 2-4 times per month, do I treat the top with 303 every time? That seems excessive. What's good practice? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I did a paint correction on my wife's Lexus is250 (compound/polish/sealant/wax; menzerna/jet seal/BWW) and it came out pretty good if I say so myself (I don't have photos to share). No one else on my side of the family or my wife's maintain their vehicle's like I do. They do the average...
