    Touching up a coating

    I applied Enviroshield about 3 weeks ago and I noticed a couple spots that don't seem to bead as well as the rest so I'm thinking I missed a couple spots. What would I have to do to touch up the coating? Would I just kinda start over with cleaning it good and going over it with the coating prep...

    Finally did my coating today

    I did my coating finally, Enviroshield, and it was very easy considering I have never used a coating before. I was thinking of doing a second coat just for reassurance. I've read to wait at least 6 hours, I won't get to work on until tomorrow at the soonest so will waiting that long be an issue...

    Enviroshield application

    I got the enviroshield coating to use on both my car and my moms car. It came with an applicator and I ordered the Lake Country coating applicators. I've since read on here that neither of those are very good and someone said it absorbs a lot of the product. Is this true and something to worry...

    Best way to repair this scratch

    I managed to scratch the frame above the window and was wondering what would be the best way to fix it or at least make it less noticeable. Should I get some touch up clear or use the touch up color I have? I can feel it with my fingernail but I don't think it went through the color.

    Windshield cleaning

    My sister has a 2016 kia soul she bought with 9,000 miles on it and the windshield appears to have had something put on it in the past and when its raining, almost daily, after the wipers go it leaves the windshield very hazy. It looks just like the first pic here...

    Coating prep polish

    I've decided to try out the duragloss enviroshield coating. It comes with the coating and a prep polish. I've been told that I can get more than one application out of this bottle. My question is that it comes with what seems to be a small bottle of the prep polish and AG doesn't seem to sell...

    Budget paint coating

    I looking for a paint coating that will last at least 1 year and work well in a very high rainfall environment, 250+ inches a year, and that is easy to apply and less than $100. Am I asking for to much? I've been reading good things about the McKee's. Anything better than the McKee's that is...

    Tire shine/coating

    I'm a mechanic and I hate when cars come in with cheap tire shine that gets all over everything and is sticky. Is there something that I can put on my tires that is not sticky or that comes off when touching the tire? Will putting something on the tire help removal of mud and dirt? I live out of...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    So I finally got around to cleaning up the outside of my new car. Don't mind the wheels I'm taking them off tomorrow to clean and seal them. I washed then clayed with a mother's clay bar kit then used my pc with a white pad and the stage 1 pinnacle xmt polish, wasn't trying to remove much so...

    Best towel for drying

    I currently use something from Walmart called the Absorber. Will this cause any damage? I read a lot of people using some kind of microfiber towel for drying off a car. Is a microfiber towel better? If so what is a good one to get?

    Poorboys black hole glaze

    I emailed autogeek when placing an order about a good glaze to help cover up small imperfections and they recommended Poorboys black hole. I have a blue car and so I figured it should be ok but my sister has a yellow kia soul that is in need of some tlc. What will happen if I use the black hole...

    What can be done about this

    What can be done with this without repainting? Hood and roof are like this. It's my dads truck used around the house and to pick up building supplies. I figured it would give me something to practice on and I cant really hurt it much more.

    Clay bar for new car

    I bought a new car in December and have washed it weekly since then and applied some Nufinish for some protection, this was before i got into detailing. I bought a PC buffer and all the waxes and sealants I should hopefully need to give it a good detail when I get a few days off work to do so. I...

    Using machine on car with clear bra

    I had the clear door cups and door edge guards put on my new car. My question is do I need to cover/tape them when using my PC to apply glaze and sealant or wax? I am assuming that I shouldn't use any abrasives on it so it would get covered when correcting? Will the machine cause the edge guards...

    Engine protection

    I tried searching but I came up with about 19 pages and not much fitted what I was looking for. I bought a new car and I'm trying to keep it nice. I was looking for something to spray on the engine to keep it from corroding. There is already some light corrosion on the steel motor mounts and the...
