I'm getting ready to coat my truck and recently bought Carpro SiC for the truck. I've used Cquartz UK numerous times with excellent results. I've read good things about SiC, so I thought I would try it. Now I've read where people are using it over UK. Is it a stand alone coating or a topper? I...

I applied Carpro UK to my truck in the fall. Today, I was detailing the truck and had a few stubborn tar spots. I considered using IGL Ecoclean tar remover, which is a creamy tar remover that works pretty good. I think the IGL might remove the coating, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any thoughts...

End of the year cleanup. Paint correction with Carpro Elixer, orange Lake Country pad, wipedown with Eraser then 2 coats of Cquartz UK and topped with Gliss. I love these products and results. The paint has fantastic depth and smoothness Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Last April, 8 months ago, I did a complete paint correction and application of Pure to my personal truck. I just did mostly local driving all year until November, when I drove the truck to California and back to Michigan. During the trip I encountered rain, snow and ice as well as lots of dry...

I just finished paint correction and coating of a really nice Corvette. The paint had a lot of swirls and numerous scratches, some I could not get out because of the depth. Overall I'm happy with the results. Thanks to all my buds on here for teaching me a lot over the last couple years. Coating...

I have a nice Corvette to do for a friend. Complete detail and Carpro paint coating. I remember reading on here where someone was using P21S soap and steel wool. I don't have the P21S and don't know if I can get it locally and I am starting today. Any other good options that anyone uses? I have...

I know, I took the bait. Topper for a coating!! I know what we have all said. I recently put Gyeon Cure on my truck, I ordered Gyeon Booster and topped it 14 days after the Cure. According to Gyeon it is supposed to boost hydrophobicity and endurance. The application of Booster was a little...

I just completed paint correction and coating on my truck. Lots of square feet here. I am pleased with the outcome. Washed, chemical decon, clayed, polished and coated. I found my best combination to be LC thin pro white pads on the 3401, Carpro Reflect as my compound. Really good results...

Hi Mike, I have considered buying one of these lights and have a hard time justifying it due to their price. I don't detail for a living, just for a hobby that I really love. I have a white truck, which is really tough to find swirls- micro scratches. My shop has excellent overhead...

Hello all, My wife and I have been gone from home since January. Needless to say I have neglected vehicles to catch up on. Glad to be home, anxious for good weather here in west Michigan. I've got to get my truck back in mint condition. Looking forward to reading up on one of my favorite...

Today I started doing a waterless with my solution of Ech2o in a pump sprayer. I did most of the cab that way and it seemed like I was getting too much overspray causing extra work. I had a bucket of ONR already mixed with towels already soaking. I did the truck bed with the ONR and it just...

I started out with the Flex 3401, so I guess you could say that is what I learned with. Not that I'm an ace either, but I've learned to get good results. Always learning more though. This spring I bought a Rupes Mark II. My first adventure with the new polisher was on my RV, I thought it might...

I recently bought a Mark 2 and I need to do an all in one on my 5th wheel trailer. I have Mckees all in one for RV 's. Mike refers to Rupes as a "system", what does anyone say about using this Mckees polish with my Rupes polisher and pads. Maybe a silly question, just wonder what you guys think...

I have a motorcycle trailer with aluminum wheels that have a combination of paint and polished Clear coat. With almost no exposure to weather, the clear coat has broken down and allowed surface pitting to start. It's obvious the clear coat was poorly applied and won't last , which it's failing...

I am quickly approaching the purchase of my first Rupes polisher. It will be a Mark II. I am undecided if it will be a 15 or 21mm throw. I plan to use it on cars, but I plan to use it on my 36' 5th Wheel. I presently have a 3401, and also a PE8. This will be my first non forced rotation...

I wanted to post a couple pictures of my motorcycle after detailing it and applying CarPro UK edition coating to the painted sections. I am anxious to see how it holds up and how easy it is to clean this year when the bugs are out.

In January I did a complete correction job and coated my Chevy dually with Car Pro UK edition. Late in the month my wife and I left Michigan, drove to Albuquerque. Picked up our 5th Wheel out of storage and drove onto Casa Grande, Az. . That's 2350 miles in all sorts of weather and road...

I presently have a Flex 3401 and Flex PE8 rotary. I just polished my full size ,crew cab dually and put a paint coating on it. I fully understand what guys are talking about when they say the 3401 beats them up. I didn't do that entire truck in one session, but that is a lot of real estate and I...

The company truck that I drive is a black GMC Denali. Last year I used McKees 37 coating with what I consider middle of the road results. This paint seems to be on the soft side, so after a while I was having swirl marks that I wanted to polish out. I used essence plus once with good results...

I need some thoughts on second coats of UK. I did a full chemical, mechanical decontamination, full polish/ swirl removal, wipe down with eraser and one coat of UK. My truck is a crew cab, full 8' bed. So this is a large undertaking. I want to apply a coat of reload also. Should I put on a...
