Greetings, all. Thought of all you guys, especially Klasse Act, when we visited the Chateau Savigny Les Beaune in France. The owner of this chateau is quite eclectic and has the Guinness world record for the largest collection of fighter jets (yes, jets like Mig-23s, Desault Mirages, F16, F86s...

Jeff or anyone: Is it ill advised to apply a layer of Skin months after the original application of Synco? I have extra Skin, and I am just curious if I use something like Gyeon Prep if there would be issues applying Skin. Note: this would be an application of Skin months after the original...

I was going to apply some of my Gyeon Trim to my car's plastic today. I guess I didn't store it in an airtight environment! (I guess that should remove any doubt as to the silica content!)

We all detail cars for one reason or another. Some of us detail cars for a living. Some of us detail cars for the pure enjoyment of seeing the end result. Some of us just use it as a form of exercise. I'm fortunate to be one of those individuals who details cars for the pure enjoyment of the...

This will probably be an easy question to answer, and I am sure there will be no strong opinions either way. :) I'll be flying into Miami and driving to Key West. Since my family will be on a separate flight (long story), I will be driving to Key West by myself (long story). I figured I rent a...

About a week ago, I had a really unfortunate situation occur to me when I used a water spot remover on my hood. I used this specific water spot remover because I did not want to have to break out the hose and rinse the hood like one has to do when using CarPro Spotless. I read the instructions...

My 10 y/o daughter goes to Italy for 2 weeks with my in laws. When she comes back, this is what she got me: I love cars and coffee. I done good. :) (Sent via my mobile device...)

Gtechniq W4 Citrus Foam Review I've been a long-time fan of Gtechniq and their products. My first real venture into the coating world was with Gtechniq, and I frequently seem to come back to their products. In general, I think you can't go wrong if you bottle a bottle of Gtechniq off the shelf...

About 1 year ago, I put Gyeon Mohs on my car. About 2w ago, when washing my car, I noticed water spots all over my hood. So, I sprayed on Gyeon Water Spot Remover and wiped it off as the instructions state (and some videos). Water spots were gone. Played around with TAC System Moonlight. Beading...

As my experience with silica coatings grow (and I have access only to prosumer versions of them), I am still on my quest to find the perfect coating for me. I've tried CarPro, Gtechniq, PBL, WG, Gyeon, 22PLE, Polish Angel, spray coatings and TACSystem now. As of late, my favorite has been Gyeon...

Inside my car. Inside. WTH. (Sent via my mobile device...)

If there is one part of a car that I hate detailing more than wheels and tires, it has to be trim. The trim of my 2013 Tesla Model S is over 4 years old. In the midwest, the winters are long and harsh at times, and trim takes a beating with all the salt that constantly barrages its faces. Adding...

Does anyone have a problem with leaking from their decontamination bottles? It doesn't matter whether it's iron X or TriX or Gyeon iron remover, I seem to get leaking from all of these types of bottles. They are the bottles supplied by the manufacturer. I was thinking of purchasing a tray to...

The only dedicated polishing pad cleaner I've used is Wolfgang. I feel like it worked all right -- still noticed left over polish debris in the pads. WRAPT recently posted a rave, albeit short, review of McKee's. There are quite a lot of reviews of the product, suggesting that the reviews were...

There are parts of the country where bugs are just a real nuisance and a problem for vehicle owners. Chicago is not among them. In 9 years of living in the Chicago area, I can`t recall any significant bug collisions on any of my vehicles that have required anything other than a hose and a good...

I purchased some red calipers for my Model S last year. Now I have the previous calipers in a bin in my garage. I was thinking of having them professionally cleaned and powder coated. I'd likely send them off somewhere regional or national to have this done. Not sure if I'd use them myself or...

I've had these about a year or more. I just noticed this over the weekend. I haven't used them much and my other Rupes pads do not do this. I can press on the pad and the impression will stay for several minutes. The pad feels very dry - almost as if it going to crumble but doesn't. Honestly...

Greetings, Detailers! Like many of you, I am a big fan of easy-to-apply spray coatings such as Wet Coat and HydrO2. Now that McKee's 37 has a ready-to-use silica spray coating, we certainly have some solid options when it comes to selecting a silica spray. Of course, there is that all...

Oh, my. This is a disaster...
