Just picked up a new EQS S580 SUV in Alpine Grey. I purchased CQuartz UK 3.0 to coat it. I have a spare bottle of Gliss from last year. Is it ok to top UK 3.0 w Gliss and if so how long should I wait between applications? Thank you in advance.

So I've had Polish Angel Viking Coat on my car for over 3 years now and its been great. However, the car has some minor swirls and I figured now was a good time to polish it up and reapply a coating before it get's too cold. I selected to go w Cquartz SIC this time and also purchased...

First, a little background. 6 months ago I got my C43. I polished and coated with CQuartz UK 3.0 and auto gliss 2.0. Outside of some clogging up during pollen season it performed amazing. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago and my wife hit a curb and so I needed a new bumper. I got the car back from...

As the title states, disappointed in the performance of my coating. I have a 2020 c43 AMG. I did all the prep work and applied 2 coats of CQuartz uk3.o and 1 coat of gliss 2.0. Seems to be a popular combination. I’ve coated about 20cars using a variety of coatings so I know how to do it. My...

Just picked up a new 2020 GLC43 this week to replace my 2017 GLE43. Actually, it's for my wife. My car is a 2020 C43 that I really like but this car is much nicer than mine. The car was in pretty good shape paint wise so I only did a one-step. Here are the details. Car - 2020 GLC43 Options...

Ok, hope this isn’t sacrilege for asking but....... would it be wrong to top Polish Angel Viking coat w Carpro Gliss? So, here is my dilemma. I picked up wifey’s new car on Monday night. For some reason I thought I was stocked up on everything I needed for a full detail including coating...

So I got rid of my beloved 2014 CLS550. I had the car for 3 years and I loved it. I recently tuned it and it was a beast but I had an incident w it where it lost power on me during a high speed acceleration and I lost confidence in it. I took the tune off and all was back to normal but I...

Just ordered my wife’s next car. Her current lease is up in May so we went in and and placed an order on a 2020 Mb GLC43 AMG. It’s smaller than her current GLE AMG43 and the replacement AMG53 won’t be out until Dec of 2020 so we figured the GLC size should be fine for a few years, especially...

Hello everyone. I was at my local Pep Boys a few months back and saw that Griot's Garage made a tire coating in aerosol form. It peaked my interest so I went ahead and purchased it. Long story short, there was some over spray that landed on two of my rims. Unfortunately I did not see it...

So i purchased the gallon size of bead maker a few weeks back. Last week I got a chance to finally try it out on my wife's SUV. The car was coated with Polish Angel Viking a little less than a year ago. Last week I gave the car a usual wash w Chemical Guys honey dew, chemical decon...

Hi guys. Long story short, there was a fire near my wife’s office. Smoke blew towards her parking lot as did soot and water from the fire hoses. Her paint is in rough shape now. I washed the car the next day and that did very little. I then clayed it and 3 bars came out completely black...

Hello all. Gave my wife's new car its first bath. It was sitting in the show room floor for a month or so and wasn't exposed to the elements much so it was in pretty good shape. It did have some very light and minor swirls on the hood so I polished those out. Prior to polishing I did have...

I know, I know, this is auto geek and people discuss detailing cars, boats, and the like. But, I figured I'd ask anyway in case anyone has ever come across my issue. I recently purchased a 1982 Yamaha U3 piano for my 7 year old son from a private seller. The piano has a black gloss finish...

Hi guys. My paint is in pretty good shape so I didn't need to do any polishing or paint correction this go around. I applied a coat of Opti-Gloss 2 years ago and its still holding up well since the car is garage kept. I just wanted to give it a little extra protection before the winter...

Hello all. Long story short - I took my car to a body shop to have an aftermarket body kit painted and installed. They did the worst job imaginable. I would rather not get into the details of my whole ordeal. I wills age that for another thread. For now, here is what I need help with: 1...
