I tried this last summer and really loved how my black truck looked. First rain and the beading was great. I figured if it lasted even three months I’d found my new LSP. Just days later when it rained again not even a little beading indicating it was gone so I gave up on it. Wasn’t real happy...

I need to choose a polish for my black 2019 truck. It’s a daily driver that gets lightly scratched up in the woods during fall bird hunting season. I’d like to do it once after claying it so something that will remove scratches and finish out well enough. I’ve used Boss fast correcting cream on...

When I use sio2 spray it seems streaky no matter how much I wipe it. Same thing with Optimum opti clean. Toyota’s black is metal flake and it has a faded look to it. No way to get that wet look no matter what you use but at least you see every streak, swirl, scratch and fingerprint. Do a full...

I have a bunch of towels that are years old. I just throw them in the wash together with a tide pod and dry them. While applying Sio2 spray I seem to have fuzz coming off and sticking to the paint. I was working in the garage but outside temps were in the low 90’s. I’m guessing that was too hot...

I used this on a black Toyota Tundra. Did a couple panels at a time to not let it dry too long but did wait for it to haze over. First time it rained the beading and water shedding was incredible and I had high hopes. Next time it rained there was no beading on the hood. I washed, clayed and...

Would this be a good choice for cleaning and sealing new black paint? I’m also considering Pinnacle jeweling wax but would prefer a polymer base on the paint. Then it would be topped with Pinnacle liquid wax. I’m concerned about using something too aggressive on a new vehicle.

I just bought a new black Tundra. It’s still too cold to do anything but I’m wondering what process I should use in the spring. With my old truck I’d claybar, polish and apply Wolfgang sealant. I’m guessing machine polishing might not be necessary but I’m not sure. What would you recommend for...

I painted the front bumper and one door bottom on my truck. The door paint had to be blended in unlike the bumper. I sanded with 1500 grit and followed up with 2000. I’m using Griot’s fast correcting compound, an orange pad and DA polisher. After many passes I still have a narrow band of...

I was planning to use Wolfgang paint sealant as a topper over HD Speed. Maybe a couple weeks apart. My concern is I don’t know what the protectant is in the Speed. It only says wax on the bottle and nothing about polymer. Since doing sealant over wax would be a waste of time I’d like to know...

Tried this today on the plastic around my wipers. It did not work well but in fairness it was Griot's fast correcting cream I needed to remove and not wax. Also tried it on some trim on the tailgate that had wax or sealant that's probably been on there for several years. No luck there either.

I made a bad rookie mistake with my PC polisher. Lifted the pad while it was spinning and sprayed Griot's fast correcting compound all over. The plastic cowl under the wipers has a lot of dried compound on it. What can I use to get this off before applying a trim dressing?

I decided to try Poorboys spray and rinse wheel cleaner on a decidedly tough job. Wolfgang wheel cleaner did very little. Sprayed it on and agitated with brush for first application. I then did the rear wheels 3 or 4 times and the fronts 4 or 5 times just spraying and rinsing. Never expected the...

So I bought the PC recently and have never used one. Have the day free tomorrow so I'm going to start on the truck. Truck was repainted about six years ago so it looks great from a few feet away but there are plenty of swirls and shallow scratches. A few deeper scratches also that I'll use touch...

Will an iron remover product work better on wheels that were probably never cleaned properly since 01 vs a regular wheel cleaner? Maybe I just need to repeat the process with the Wolfgang wheel cleaner several times? I'm going to compound, polish and seal my truck and need to get these wheels...

I tried but my wheels are too dirty for basic wheel cleaner. Someone mentioned an acid product but I'm not familiar with them. Any specific product suggestions to deal with this? I believe they are clear coated aluminum. It's an 01 F150. Here's a pic. If a close up of the wheels would help I'll...

Say I'm using Wolfgang polish prior to their sealant. If I start with swirl remover is it essential that I then use the finishing glaze prior to sealing? Will swirl remover leave it smooth enough for sealant or would I be skipping a vital step?

I've got an 01 F150 with beautiful paint and filthy neglected wheels. I bought some black magic wheel cleaner at Walmart and of course the results were not good. Looking at buying a Wolfgang wheel cleaning kit and getting serious about taking care of this. Would the products in this kit clean...

I've been using the klasse all in one prior to applying sealant like blackfire. I'm wondering if I should be putting sealant directly on the paint for better adhesion. Do most sealants bond good with the klasse or am I going to get a shorter life span doing it that way? Would it be better to use...
