    First time CarPro Reload user checking in

    I gotta say I was nervous going into this. Especially since I have firsthand seen the oily hologram effect that Reload can have when I was watching a friends car get finished off with it. I am glad to say I did not have this issue. My car's hood, and complete drivers side is coated in...

    CeriGlass scratched my glass...?

    Not sure what happened, because I've used it before with no issues. I went ahead and wanted to remove some light water spots on my windshield, to my surprise when I was done there was a decent of amount of new noticeable scratches, including one pretty long one, and what looked like the...

    Why I am ditching my favorite sealant (Polymer Net Shield) for CQuartz UK. Is PNS flawed, or is it just me?

    I am a detailing nut, and I am very serious about keeping my cars paint scratch and swirl free. My issue has always been that my car is parked outside 24/7 therefore waxes are not really going to protect me or last (I also think wax is useless for everyday cars, shine comes from proper prep)...

    Have I been doing something wrong this whole time?

    I have been having issues with my sonax polymer net shield application lately. I put it on and in the beginning it acted like it always did, beading like crazy, and now 3 weeks later its already dwindled down.... I know washing the car brings it mostly back, but today when I was washing I...

    Foam Lance.... Have I been using it for the wrong reason?

    Just two weeks ago I got myself a foam cannon and some Chemical Guys Honey Dew. I previously was using the 2bm but thought I would give foaming a try since it seems like everyone uses it. My procedure was to rinse, foam, wash a panel then rinse mitt in bucket with grit guard, then move on to...

    Help! Tried paste wax today and now I have major issues

    Normally I don't use paste wax, I just put something on with my DA on a slow speed, wait a few minutes and buff it off.

    Hey everyone I finally had the chance to work on my Jet Black 328 E90 BMW. Its a 2007. I used m105 on a yellow pad to remove nearly all the imperfections and swirls and scratches, then I use mens sf4500 but it doesn't finish down well, it looks like marring or very light buffer trails that, not...

    Another BMW M3! 2009 Jerez Black 1-step and wax

    Hi Everyone, Did 2 cars this saturday, the first of which is this nice Jerez Black M3. The owner wanted the swirls reduced, so we agreed on a 1-step polish so there was room for more correction down the line when there might actually be more significant paint correction needed. Polish was...

    What is this? Happens to me all the time!

    Can you see all of those tiny white dots? Whether I'm waxing or polishing my car I always seem to have what appears to be things dragging from those dots, as if there was extra wax or polish on them and when I run the microfiber over them it just makes a streak of the product. What causes this?
