Hi All, I’ve been away from the detailing scene for a while, and was hoping to ask you guys for some product pointers. What’s a good sealant that balances longevity and chemical resistance (touchless washes, acid rain, etc.) with ease of application? Mainly, is there something out there there...

Hey all, So, I invested in a true workhorse DA, the GG 6" DA back in November, and just had a chance to use it on paint for the first time a few days ago. I'm super impressed with its power! I've used rotaries years ago, and for a DA, I have to say, the GG with a heavy cut pad and M105 does...

Hey all, I'll be investing in some new pads (6" and 3 to 4") for a 6" Griot's DA, and was curious what combination (color/type of pad, and speed) and method most people have used for Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish. Also, how many pads will I need (for a sedan and for autos like a...

Hey all, I'm having some problems with removing Pinnacle Black Label Surface Polish in preparation for Black Label Diamond Surface Coating application. Now, I am a former detailer, but I have been out of the business since '07, and haven't applied a coating before. Lots has happened in 7 years...

Hi all, So, I've always heeded the advice of experts and washed microfibers before using them for the first time to ensure they weren't contaminated during either the manufacturing or the shipping processes. However, when it comes to foam products like applicator pads or DA buffing pads, is it...

Hi all, What's the best line of paint sealants out there these days in terms of durability and staying power? I wasn't really able to find a thread about this for 2014. I'm looking to seal the finish on my new car now while I have the free time to baby it. In about 3 months, I'll be lucky if I...
