Hey Guys, I use BS as a pre-wash and looking to reorder, but was wondering what people are using for a pre-wash, both foaming and non-foaming? Will be using on both a coated and non-coated car. Cars get fairly dirty between washes. At 3:1 dilution of BS, has anyone see degradation of sealants...

Hey Guys, I am planning on recoating my '18 4Runner this summer and need some help/input on the best polish to use. The truck was coated with MK37 in Fall of 2017. I want to coat with CQuartz UK (unless you convince my to go with the regular CQuartz) since I am in Michigan and we have some...

So I did my first major wash of the season on Tuesday using hyper wash. The truck has MK37 coating ver.2 on it that is a little over a year old. The horizontal surfaces are still beading good but the doors and back are flat. I guess understandable with the Michigan winters and all the salt on...

Still learning, so bear with me. I have read/seen where you should Prime/butter your foam pad so that you aren’t putting dry pad to paint and also utilizing the entire pad surface for correction. But I have also seen where guys are only starting with several drops (or an x, or circle) of...

Hey Guys, Looking to do some family and friends cars when the weather gets nicer. These would all be daily drivers with varying degrees of swirls and scratches. I started thinking about doing an AIO for these, but then was thinking of maybe a 1-step since an LSP wouldn't take to long. Longer...

Hey Guys and Gals, Sorry, Technology difficulties... Contemplation for a disseration... ..and frustration... stay tuned...

Hey Guys, So I recently bought some OptiBond Tire Gel and I guess I have somewhat some expectations for it on tires. I have stock Dunlop tires on my new 4Runner and have tried 303 (decent satin sheen, but didn't last as others have said and didn't expect much), Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant...

Hey Guys, As the title states, have any of you used Aquawax as a drying aid on a car that has McKee's paint coating? It looks like Aquawax is simmilar to McKee's Trademark Extender Spray Wax and I read that McKee's can be used while drying a coated car. Just wondering if there would be any...

Hey Guys, Do you use a drying aid during the "drying step" of a rinseless wash on a coated car to minimize the potential for marring/scratching? I use D114/distilled water using the multiple microfiber method for the "wash step", but then use a fresh wrung-out microfiber that had been in the...

Hey Guys, I put Hydro Blue on my new truck to hold me over until I had time to coat it with McKee's paint coating. I can put the coating in top of Hydro Blue? It's been a couple of weeks since the Hydro Blue went on and I am planning on using the prep polish. Thanks, Geoguy

Hey guys, As the title states: Can McKee's paint coating be used on black (or any color) textured trim? Thanks! geoguy

Hey Everyone, So my girlfriend is getting a new Honda CR-V in metallic gray (daily driver) and I was thinking about putting a coating on it. I have never used a coating before, hence the "entry-level" part of the title so it needs to be user-friendly for a noob. It also needs to be reasonably...

Hey Guys, Based on your experience, how agressive is Mothers traditional clay (yellow) compared to what is available out there? How about their speed clay 2.0 (nanoskin-like palm thingy). I used the traditional clay with car soap/foam and the speed clay with ONR at clay lube dilution and both...

Hey Guys! Just a quick question for you. I did a one-step paint correction on my black 2008 Subaru Outback Sport yesterday and it took me about 9 hours. This included a thorough aggressive wash and decontamination (bug squash, foam, rinse, foam/2 bucket wash, Iron remover [McKee's], clay...

Hey fellow AG'ers, I though I would show my first headlight resto on a 2005 Honda CRV. The lights were badly oxidized and in rough shape. I used Meguiar's heavy-duty headlight restoration kit (Meguiars Heavy Duty Two Step Headlight Restoration Kit, Meguiars G3000, headlight polishing kit...

Hey AG'ers! A quick question about Duragloss. Does DG105, DG111, or AW mute metal flake paint? Thanks! Geoguy

Hey everyone, Was thinking of trying rinseless for weekly/ biweekly maintance washes and wanted to get your opinions on UWW+ and DG 931 since I have read that many people swear by them. How do they compare for cleaning ability such as bugs? Also, how does the poly charger in UWW+ compare to...

Hey Autogeeks, In your opinion, which is a better LSP in terms of durability (long Michigan winters with tons of salt), ease of application, cost (just a hobby) and glossiness for a black subaru, DG 601/105, Sonax PNS or Optimum opti-seal? I will be using AW as a drying aid and to help boost...

Hey everyone, I am new here and after looking through post after post, I am truly in awe of what you all can do.:urtheman:So, on to my question/problem. I have washed my wife's new gray subaru forester twice so far and just last week I noticed swirls on he door panels. Maybe it was the angle...

Long time listener, first time caller as they say. Just wanted to introduce myself and can't wait to start talking to you guys about detailing. My eyes have definitely been opened after finding AG. I do have some "experience", back in college I worked in the "detail shop" of a dealership and...
