Hey everyone, Max here. Back again after a while! Finally got some time off of work and possibly detailing a buddy’s black F-150. He wants to have it ceramic coated. I’m gonna go through the whole process of prepping for a coating and I was wondering what the latest and greatest ceramic coating...

I tried looking for a thread like this but couldn't find any. So I used the McKee's 37 tire coating last summer, I want to strip it off and recoat the tires. Two days ago, I used a drill brush and OPC almost straight. It looks very blotchy as if some of the coating is wearing off finally...

I'm prepping for a couple of details on some friends cars. I have a couple of questions for the process. I just recently bought Cquartz lite and Essence. I'm thinking these vehicles are in decent shape and don't need that much polishing before applying Lite. Could I just wash, clay, and hit it...

With the upcoming summer season, I have some clients that like their vehicles detailed. Usually just interior detail with a wash, clay, and wax on the exterior. I would like to try to upsell these clients ceramic coatings so it would be much easier to maintain these vehicles in the future. I'm...

It's getting to be that time of year again. Getting all the boats out of storage. I have a friend/customer with a 42' Fountain and I'm going to ask him if he'd like a ceramic coating this year. Has anyone used ceramic coatings on gelcoat? If so, which one do you like the most? And what is the...

I have been running my 2005 Chevy impala everyday since June with McKee's 37 paint coating version 2. About a month ago, I noticed the paint needed claying. So I used a blackfire clay mitt to decontaminate and it came out pretty good. So here's my thinking, since the ceramic coating isn't as...

I'm looking to protect my tires with something other than dressings. Has anyone ever used DLUX on tires? I have some leftover so was wondering if I could use it. I see that it says you can use it on rubber surfaces. Does this mean tires? If it can't be applied on tires, any recommendations for...

Hello, I received a foam gun for my birthday last week and I'm trying to find a good ratio for it. It is the half gallon size. I would like a ratio that produces a good amount of foam but also doesn't use a whole lot of soap. I'm planning on using Meguiar's Hyper Wash. Thanks Sent from my...

Hello to all, I am currently looking for a new protection product. I really like McKee's 37 10 minute paint sealant and Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish. I'm just looking for some suggestions on other products that give great durability and good shine that are easy to apply. Maybe something like...

I'm not sure if there is a post about this already. I feel like I've seen a post similar to this. So sorry if there is. But here's my question, what is your favorite drying aid for waxes and sealants? How about favorite drying aid for coatings? Thank you Sent from my Galaxy Note 9 using...

I just detailed a VW suv yesterday. It was nasty, bugs/tar, road grime, you name it. Anyway, I’m looking for a bug and tar remover with good dwell time and clinging ability. I liked using TW bug and tar foam because of the dwell time but I can’t see myself using almost a full can for every...

Has anyone tried mixing the Blackfire foam booster with Meguiars Hyper Wash? I just got a sample of the foam booster and was wondering if I should mix it with my gallon I have. Any thoughts if I should do this? Thanks

I had the pleasure to work on this beast today. A new client contacted me yesterday to dial in his GT350. It was not in the best shape when he picked it up from the factory. He wanted the paint at a level 10. By his reaction when I was done, I think the paint was at a level 11! Products used...

Hi everyone, I have a 2005 Chevrolet Impala that is silver. I’m looking for some LSP to get the maximum shine out of the color. I would prefer a coating or a paint sealant since my car is a daily driver and outside 24/7. I will be correcting and polishing the paint beforehand so I’m sure that...

I’m thinking about upgrading to a better DA polisher within the next year hopefully. Right now I have the Meguiar’s MT 300. It’s a nice machine just a little too much vibration for my liking. I would also like a bigger throw in my next DA. What are you favorite DA polishers? If you can include...

Hello to everyone! What’s everyone’s favorite 3 step method as far as compound, polish, and then wax/sealant/coating? I have been using Meguiar’s DA polisher with Meg’s D300, Meg’s Ultimate Polish, and usually Ultimate Wax. I know these aren’t the absolute best products but they gave me pretty...

Hello everyone, I think I am going to encounter a Ford Raptor in the next month or so. It has a few sections of matte graphics and I believe the wheels are matte finish as well. So, I am in search of products to safely clean and protect these matte finishes. Any recommendations are...
