I corrected with WG Swirl remover and Uber and put on my first coat of WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and it looks fantastic to me. Is there any benefit of more than 1 coat in terms of protection/durability? The shine is great. Thinking about WG coating in the future but would like as much...

I don't want to just re-blacken the rubber around my car's window as a dressing would but is there a product that would re-nourish and maintain the softness/moisture, sort of like a "lotion." The rubber is still in good condition but want to start maintaining it before it's too far gone and...

I just got the WG headlight restoration kit and have read that most headlight restorations need to be redone several times a year to maintain clarity. Will using one of the protective films (from Xpel or Lamin X) prevent the loss of clarity if I just used the WG headlight sealant at the end of...

I just seriously started detailing my cars this summer; bought the Porta Cable DA and Duragloss system (Swirl Mark Remover, Pc. No. 2 and Environshield). Using both, I estimate 70% correction which was great compared to no prior detailing and years of hand washing but with light scratches on a...

I polished for the first time this year using DG but want to do a more complete job using WG Uber or Swirl Remover on my '95 Land Rover Defender that has single stage Arles blue paint. The problem is, it has a roll cage that makes using a DA unfeasible under the windshield. That part of the...

First, I'd like to thank all of you on the forum as everyone has been very supportive, helpful and very friendly to all of my previous questions. I've learned a lot and unfortunately, have spent a lot as well; I got a PC 7242XP followed by a Flex 3401 with at least 30 pads of various sorts. I...

I just used about 3/4 of a 16.6 oz spray bottle of the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect on my wife's SUV. They were quite dirty so I liberally sprayed them, waited about 4 minutes (cold wheels in the shade) until they looked as there were starting to dry, went at it with a Speed Master wheel...

I want to get a cheap QD as I use a lot of it. I have ONR but read it does not have the lubricity common of most QDs and is not good as a QD at the specified dilution ratio. UWW+ is good but not cheap though it is on sale right now. Does anyone use Meguiar's D114 as a QD? If so at what...

I'll be getting a new car in the next year or two and want your opinions as to whether white (or any other color) is a good color to get as it would show less swirls and thus would require less polishing. I've been through many cars and colors so I'm not too fixated on any one color so the more...

I am reading the thread started by Mike "Smack" on using the Flex 3401, hybrid pads and Menzerna products. Specifically, regarding the FG400, he recommends when compounding using the orange pad, to use only speeds 3-4 while when polishing with the SF4000, use speeds 5-6. Since I am new to all...

I just applied DG NGCC to my second car. It can last up to 2 years which I understand is a conservative estimate. Is the DG NGCC considered more of a sealant even though it lasts quite a while? Price wise, it's in the ballpark of a coating.

Just ordered the Tornador Foamer HP foam gun using an air compressor. Do I need to give the car a complete soak with the hose prior to spraying the foam on or will the pre-soak make the foam less clingy and just slide down he vertical panels?

Moving up from the PC and am only a weekend enthusiast doing my family's 5 cars (some with curves Porsche 911 upto a large suburban). I'm going to order the Flex 3401 either alone and use the 5.5 backing plate along with the 6.5 pads but am concerned that it would be hard to get good results...

I just used the DG SMR (Swirl Mark Remover) #671 for my new black car which worked well using a Porta Cable followed by Squeaky Clean and 2 coats of Nano Glass Ceramic coating. I have an older car which is a truck and has been treated as such and never had a paint correction (its 20 years old)...

Now that I am starting to detail my cars I am accumulating many different products which I would like to keep to an appropriate minimum. Regarding clay lubricant, can I use a QD such as Duragloss Fast Clean and Shine instead of buying a specialty clay lubricant. I'm planning on buying 1 or 2...

Very new to detailing, just bought a Porta Cable and did my black 2007 Porsche which had swirl marks with great results using: 1. wash and dry using DG CCW 2. clay using Blackfire 3. DG Swirl Remover (followed Mike Phillips technique with 6 passes) 4. DG Squeaky Clean 5. IPA wipe down as the SC...
