    Tire Coating and New Tires

    Picked up some new tires for the car today. Had Tuf Shine tire coating on the old tires and love the product. I am going to coat the new tires, but having read threads here on tire blooming and antiozonants, etc, my question is do I need to wait to let anything leech out of the tires or outgas...

    Any other F1 fans out there?

    Stoked for the 2015 season. Australian GP starting now (West Coast time). Interesting to see some of the European detailing product labels on the cars, like Sonax on the red bull team, etc.

    Priming LC Orbital Pads

    Just got some of the LC Orbital Pads for my Rupes 15. For those who have already used them, what is the best way to prime the pads? Should I prime them the way that the Rupes pads are primed (which is not at all, really), or the more traditional method for flat pads such as method #1 in Mike's...

    Rupes Pads with Non-Rupes Polishes

    Have the Rupes 15 with all of the Rupes pad varieties and the Rupes polishes. I know they are designed as a system, but I am partial to the performance of Menzerna products. I am particularly curious about using FG400 on the blue pad. Has anyone used other polishes on Rupes pads with success?

    Paint color advice?

    I’m in the market to pick up a “new to me” car. Not a pro so I haven’t detailed any cars other than mine and a couple at the SoCal auto geek meet ups. Looking for paint color input from a detailer’s perspective. Am looking at two cars, one in BMW white and the other in BMW space grey...

    Sonax Perfect Finish - 250ml

    Saw a bottle of SPF in the 250ml (8.5 oz) size at my local detail shop yesterday. Actually it was a tube flattened at one end like a non-aerosol shave gel. Per the guys, it was a sample from the rep. That size should go on sale in March. I'm sure AG will have it too. Will be good for...

    Need Advice re Using Sonax Perfect Finish

    Being aggravated by marring in what I believe is pretty soft paint (hood and fenders resprayed about 5 years ago so paint is not OEM on those panels) I threw down the ATM card and bought some SPF. Had been using Menz 4000 or HD Polish for finishing, but want to try out the SPF due its positive...

    Menzerna FG400 dusting?

    Have tried some paint correction with Menzerna FG400 lately, and it is dusting like crazy. Have used several combinations: CCS orange pad - cleaned, dry - pad primed by applying concentric circles of product and spreading with finger as shown in AG guides. - dusts before one pass is complete...
