Does anyone have some experience with Rupes Advance? I’m hoping to use it for a car of ours to do a quick polish to clean up light defects while adding gloss. I like that it can be used quickly as I don’t have time for my usually for paint correction. What pads have people paired it with? Rupes...

Does anyone have experience with Gyeon Trim? Have read a couple of different things regarding application. Some say to level it after application, but I’ve also read that you can apply without wipe off. The instructions say it is weather dependent and to speak to your seller. It will be around...

I’m detailing my new car soon (i30N hatch) and have both a trim and paint coating to go on. Wondering if anyone has a set order they follow for the two or any tips when applying both on how to sequence them, noting one could get on the other unless taped off I guess. The gyeon trim doesn’t...

I’ve been a bit absent from this space the last 1.5 - 2 years as I’ve mainly been getting into my other hobby sim racing. I built a sim racing rig and have been enjoying that. I have a new white hot hatch which I ordered a year ago arriving in a month or so and starting to prep for the detail...

Hi all I’m in the market for a new car. Specifically, I am going to buy an i30N (big wait list here in Aus if I go the hatch and not the sedan). I currently have a black car and while I love it, I swore never again (like everyone). Just scratches too easy and gets dirty very quickly. I put...

Scott HD’s latest ceramic coating test is interesting with some nice contenders. This is the application component and at the end he has some interesting graphs. 30 WAY CERAMIC COATINGS LONGEVITY TEST - SUBSCRIBER REQUESTED PRODUCTS - UPDATE 01 - INSTALL + GLOSS - YouTube Have pulled out the...

Some of you may know I didn’t have the best experience with a coating a couple weeks ago. This weekend I polished the car (again!) and applied Gyeon Pure Evo. Scholls S30 and an Orange SDO was enough to remove the previous coating. I made made sure to keep my pads real clean as I think the...

I recently applied a coating which didn’t turn out too well. Some of you have offered up advice and tried to help - thank you! I might have a couple days spare over the long weekend coming up and am considering going again. One of the positives is that I wouldn’t need to do a decon as I did a...

I applied a ceramic coating yesterday which wasn’t the best experience in terms of application and user experience. Removal was very difficult. Couldn’t pull it out to check for high spots due to weather. Using my hand light and I could see some ‘foggy’ spots. Got it out this morning, maybe...

Doing a full detail and did the decon today, polishing tomorrow and coating with NV Evo the day after. I used CarPro immolube to clay and it works well. The is the residue it leaves behind. Even an Eraser wipe didn’t remove it. Are people rinsing/snow foaming after using it? Sent from my...

For those that have tried this what do you think? I have been trying to like it but something just doesn’t feel right? The smell (not a big deal) is off putting and it flashes really quick. It streaked on smooth plastics also. I really like Megs QD, but the Gyeon did have more cleaning ability...

I am coating both our cars with NV Evo soon and wondering if those who have used it could chime in with their experience in regards to application, durability, looks etc Thanks all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s everyone’s go to for an interior dressing? I have NV Guardian (12-18 month coating) on my Leather seats which I top up with NV Nourish every 1-2 months. I was told I could use the coating all over the interior so I did that too. I’ve been hitting the non leather parts with Megs Quik...

Does anyone have a MJJC cannon and can provide some input? I’ve tried it with both 1.25 and 1.1 orifices as well as multiple dilutions with multiple different soaps and I keep having the same issue. The soap doesn’t dwell for more than a minute before drying. I’ve thought about adjusting the...

I bought myself a Paint Thickness Gauge (PTG) and have had some interesting results on my 2019 Hyundai. The car is around 2 years old and i have hand polished twice with Megs Ult Polish by hand. I have used a DA twice with a finishing polish as well. Once with Scholls S30+/Orange SDO LC...

Thought this might interest some people here… it did me anyway.. Since coating my car with CarPro Lite in April 2021 I have been using Elixir as a drying aid after each wash everywhere but one side of the roof. I wanted to see how just bare coating would get along. One side Lite + Elixir...

Hi all Just ordered the MJJC Pro foam cannon and wondering which orifice to use for my electric pressure washer. I have the big boi pressure washer with the below stats: Motor: 1600W (Peak) Induction Maximum Pressure: True 2600PSI Max Flow Rate: 7LPM min Does anyone own a similar specced PW...

Does claying really impact a coating that much or can it be included as part of a decon process to better ‘unclog’ the coating? Everything I’ve read says to not clay a coating as it will damage it and to just use chemicals to decontaminate the coating. If you could clay with no marring, I’m...

I have ordered a little blower to help with drying the car. The main areas I’ll be using it on are handles, mirrors (nooks and crannies) etc to prevent water dripping. I will still be towel drying the majority of the car with a drying aid. The blower I have coming is battery powered and quite...

I have recently put CarPro Lite on both mine and my wife’s car. No complaints for my car. I wash it weekly and using Elixir for as a drying aid and the car is garaged. The issue is with my wife’s car which has been coated for around 2 months now. This car sits outside and it is winter here in...
