Hey, I recently acquired a car that has a full PPF wrap on the bumper, hood and fenders. I believe this was installed when the car was brand new (2017) and from as best as I can tell the paint itself under the film is in good shape. The film however has a few swirl marks in it, nothing major...

I recently purchased my wife a 2014 Wrangler Unlimited. I have sourced out and researched products for cleaning/protecting the black vinyl soft top. I am curious about what should be used on the plastic windows. I am hesitant to use Invisible Glass on it, worried about it damaging them...

I presently have a roster of 5 1/2" LC flat pads which I really like, with they work with the stock backing plate, or should I also get the 4 3/8" to make sure it fits properly. I can't seem to find a clear answer on this. Thanks!

I did my first wash today after doing my CQUK coating and made the following observations. My foam cannon is not as useful it once was, it would seem. The foam doesn't stick, as I expected, but it really seems to not be as useful. It just falls off basically, no real dwell time. I am going...

I completed a polishing stage on my car yesterday in preparation for CQUK today. I finished later than expected and it was dark. My garage doesn't have the best lighting and so I didn't want to start with the fear that I might not be able to see the product properly, and so I decided to wait...

Yesterday I completed a 2 step correction on my car. Not counting the wash, decontamination, claying, and taping time, it took me just over 6 hours to complete the car. I used PF2500 on a LC White (orange for a couple areas there were a bit rough) and SF4500 on a LC Blue. Did 4-5 passes on...

Well I recently did my first coating on my wife's Fiat. Used CQUK, worked out really well. However, it only came with one wipe suede cloth. I have about 3/4 it more of my 50ml bottle left and am going to to my other car in a bit. But..... No cloth. I tried to clean it but it did not come...

Yesterday I got caught out in the rain. When I got home the car was soaked. I hadn't washed my car recently so it was pretty dirty. I was debating what would be the best method for drying in this state. Blot dry with a towel or just let bit air dry. I was worried the air drying would leave...

I recently placed a fairly large order - around $750 worth of products. I went forward with the order based on the flat rate shipping costs shown on the website to Canada. I was a little surprised when the shipping costs were then double for my order. I questioned what the point of flat rate...

I am racking my brain trying to determine how many towels and what types I should be purchasing. I am checking a bunch of different sites with different options and am just confusing the issue. I know this will be very subjective, but what I want to do with them is the following: - General...

Is it preferable to do a touch up on a chip before or after doing a paint correction? I have not decided if I will be doing a basic Dr. Colorchip or a more in depth method such as this: Paint Chip Touch-up -- /DRIVE CLEAN - YouTube If I go route 2 then I'll need to polish out the sanding...

So I contacted a detail shop who also does PPF installs. As part of the install process he includes a paint prep with a finishing polish before the PPF and then applies GTechniq on top. He is an authorized installer for Gtechniq, only one in the area. I mentioned to him that the car would be...

I think I already know the answer to this but never hurts to ask. So, in preparation for a coating application you polish your paint removing as many defects as possible. You then clean your paint off using a IPA/Cleaning solution to promote bonding of the coating. It would mean then...

Hey, I am going to be applying a coating to my car this Spring. Not sure which one exactly yet, still researching a bit, but I am trying to determine if they can be applied over dry carbon fiber pieces. I have a few on my car, some on the bumper, the diffuser and spoiler. I don't want to...

I am really at a cross roads right now. I am right on the fence about wrapping my car in Xpel Ultimate. I've sourced a dealer who will provide pre-cut pieces for 50% of what Xpel sells for directly - around $2400 total. I've been researching and watching as many videos and reading install...

So, I noted that AGO seems to heavily push using a single wash mitt when showing car wash products. I normally just wash with a microfiber towel, like a Gold Plush Jr., folded to 8 sides. I'll put 4 or 5 in the bucket with the soap and them soak a few minutes then use as face for a panel, turn...

I recently purchased a 2014 Nissan GT-R. I have a small list of to do's. First is to fill a small rock chip in the side panel. Found some helpful threads/videos on that. Second is to do a light polish as there are some factory installed swirls. In 2011 Nissan started applying a 'double'...

Hello everyone, long time forum troll and customer, first post. I am finishing up a 3 year work contract in the Arctic in a couple of months. All of my old detailing products have been in storage. I didn't have much, some M105/205, some Adam's stuff and of course pads and my PC7424. My...
