Anyone have any issues doing this?

I'm mainly interested in using it to apply on wheels, grilles, and other hard to reach surfaces where an application pad just won't work. If you are using an air spray gun or air brush, could you please provide the name and model you have? Also, how you like using it. Thanks so much!

Can this be used on plastic chrome? Thanks!

I'm looking for a product that will give a bit of shine, not a total matte finish. I've been researching Gyeon Leather Shield and Car Pro CQuartz Leather but both are described as leaving a matte finish. Any recommendations? If not, which of the two (Gyeon or CQuartz) do you prefer?

I found some old Griot's Garage Machine Polish while cleaning out my cabinet. I'd like to put them to use but they must be at least 8 years old. I can still shake them up, it smells fine and the polish appears to be pliable. GG has discontinued these products. So I have some questions: 1...

Glass and Ceramic coatings are awesome and have multiple benefits. I get it. But my question is do coating by themselves provide more or the same level of gloss than say a Carnuba Wax or top of the line sealant topped with a wax? Since paint surface preparation is the key to having a showroom...

Here are my proposed steps. I'm open to ANY changes you as experts feel is needed. Foam Gun with CG Clean Slate or other wax stripping soap and allow to dwell. Rinse off with pressure washer. Foam Gun with CG Clean Slate or other wax stripping soap. Hand Wash. Rinse off with pressure...

What products can I use to dress the rubber trim that won't wash off and get all over the windows after a wash?

I thought of cleaning it with an APC and ceramic coating them to prevent further deterioration but maybe there's a better way to go.

For those that have one, which of the spray nozzles do you use for rinsing your car? I called the company and the representative suggested the green one (25 degree). The red one is 1 degree and the black is labeled "soap." There is an additional black rubber cone type nozzle too but the...

When doing a one step polish on black paint (or any color), do you use a rotary or exclusively a DA to prevent swirl marks?

I'm looking for some feedback from the many experts here at AG who have both a rotary and a DA polisher. Do you: #1 Compound with a rotary and do the LSP with a DA? #2 Do all steps with a rotary. I realize there are endless variables (speed, technique, products, machines, etc.) and I...

I understand a paint coating will last much longer, but if the surface preparation is done properly, will a paint coating produce superior shine, gloss and depth over a high quality wax or sealant? Please share your thoughts!

I worked on a black (non metallilc) 2009 VW Jetta that had moderate oxidation mostly on the center portion of the roof. The trunk and hood look perfect. Using a DA, I compounded using WG Uber and an orange LC pad and it came out really nice. Finished using WG Finishing Glaze with a white LC...

What are the pros and cons of using a "silica-content glass" product like 22ple Pro Glass coating for paint (not car glass) versus a traditional product like Optimum Gloss Coat Paint Coating?

Any way to hide or minimize them? The aluminum has a coating on it so I can't get the aluminum polish to bite.

WG Uber is awesome! My question is what to use as the final polish? I've used GG Machine Polish 3 and CG V38 using a DA with good results but I am now out of both so it's time to place an order. I was thinking about going with WG Finishing Glaze or Menzerna SF4000 but I'm open to anything else...

Would it be alright to use Klasse all in one after applying a sealant? The product description says it lightly cleans oxidized paint without any abrasives. I just want to make sure I'm not removing the sealant with this product. I have just enough to do one car and I'm trying to get rid of...

The original owner of this 2012 XF faithfully took it to the car wash where it could get scratched and marred on a weekly basis. After evaluating the condition of the paint with a swirl light and different angles, I decided to do a complete three step paint correction followed by a glaze...

I'm working on a Chevy Silverado with a dime sized section of the clear coat chipped off on the side of the bed. A check of the entire vehicle showed no other clear coat issues. It appears that something may have hit this area and caused a piece of the clear coat to come off. I thought I...
