Ok, so I'm prepping the new lease car for CQUK 3.0. I did the wash, Iron x and clay, on the white VW Tiguan. Started with Essence and orange LC pad on the roof, because I wanted to get that over with, with GG3". Side note: I saw the detailer who installed PPF on my Lincoln and he told me Essence...

I just received an order of 70/30 300 gsm low nap towels that I plan on using for CQUK 3.0 wipe off. Two questions: 1- Wash them before using for wipe off? I always wash my micro fiber before I use them, don't know if this situation is different. 2- What is better for wipe off, the micro fiber...

Reaching out to anyone who knows how to mitigate the gas smell in a car. A little background: Right after the bad storms in the northeast the beginning of March, the fuel can I was using for the generator tipped over in the trunk of my daughters Jetta. I know, I know I should have put it behind...

Good Sunday to everyone! I would like to know if anyone has used CG Carbon Flex C9 Coating and has anything to compare it to. We are picking up a new lease car tomorrow, a VW Tiguan, white, and I was speaking to one of the salesmen who's into detailing and he told me about the C9. Said it was...

My neighbor asked me to detail the exterior his brand new BMW for the weekend, "since I know what I'm doing". I told him I only know what I'm doing as far my own cars, and I've never done anyone else's. And that everything I learned, I learned from here. He said he wanted it polished. I...

Ok, so I finally got my DA's, A GG 6" and 3". Went to work on my wife's black 2012 Tiguan. Wash and decon yesterday, Meguiar's Car Wash Plus, Sonax Fallout, GG Synthetic Clay w/ Speed Shine. Went to work with 6.5 inch orange foam pad and Correcting Cream. First time out using it. Been doing...

I just received my two GG DA's. The 6" and 3". It seems GG tries to keep it simple, which is why I went with them, in addition to their customer service. I'm going to follow the basic rule, which is least aggressive and move up if I have to. My basic question is, how many pads per car? I know...

Ok, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a DA polisher. I'm going to definitely buy the Griots Garage 3", because I can do the trim on the pillars and trunk deck on my lift gate, among other things. And they now have a 2 inch backing plate and pads available. On the regular size machine, I...

My mother in law bought a new Honda Civic around a year ago. It's kept outside and has never been cleaned. She came over for the holiday, so I told her I would clean it. Now, I don't have my polishers yet, and the most I've done so far is WW's and RW's. I don't have clay, so I was going to just...

So my son's 2013 Dodge Dart had to have the paint repaired on the hood. Instead of repairing, they ordered a new hood, painted and replaced it. Yes it was warrantied. The dealer has a body shop on premises. Anyway, I picked it up yesterday, and it was parked directly in the sunlight. The paint...

Good Morning All, Am wondering how to keep micro scratches off, and remove from glossy black plastic trim. I'm assuming it's plastic, anyway. I didn't think it was marked up in any way, but looking at different angles, you can see the faint lines in the gloss. The trim is on the doors covering...

I was going to ask this question on the thread that had the new McKee's waterless wash. But the last post was a month ago, and I'm knew to forums and didn't know if it would get looked at. The new McKee's ww states it leaves no residue, ie wax or anything else. People that were involved with...

Ok, this is my third question, and not happy about it.... I thought my new MKX was in pretty much pristine condition, paint and or clear coat wise. Well today I noticed some faint scratches on top of the rear bumper and on the hood. Want to take care of this before I possibly put Xpel on the...

I was wondering if anyone has the Xpel (or any similar product) applied to their cars, and do you like it. I called a place today, and they gave me some prices over the phone for application to my 2017 MKX. He gave me prices for partial front, full front and totally covering the car. Pretty...

Ok, long time lurker, first time poster. Actually, just lurking about since buying my new SUV, a 2017 Lincoln MKX. Anyway, wanting to keep it pristine, so I figured this would be the place to ask my first of many questions. Wheel cleaner: I keep the car in a garage, so it stays pretty clean. I...
