    Is there any type of sealant that can stand up to an automatic carwash?

    I know the idea of using an automatic carwash is almost sacrilegious here, but particularly in the winter, it's terribly impractical to handwash a car at certain times. I bought a bottle of The Last Coat v2.0 to try on a black hood because it was supposed to be pretty chemical resistant and...

    15 y/o Truck Never Detailed...Compound or Damp Sand?

    It's never going to be a show truck, just want it to shine up and be easier to keep clean than the oxidized paint is. My interest is more about what's going to give a better overall job in a given amount of time. I had just heard watching some Rupes videos the damp sanding with a machine and...

    15 y/o Truck Never Detailed...Compound or Damp Sand?

    I have a few pictures, but its soooo hard to capture the condition of the white paint in a picture.

    Swap out backing plates or get multiple polishers?

    I am sure it's been covered before, but with the given selection of vehicles I am working with, am I really going to notice a huge difference in working speed going with a 15mm over the G9?

    Swap out backing plates or get multiple polishers?

    I'd like to buy a DA polisher for personal use, but I am kind of stalled out on which direction I should go. I have multiple vehicles of varying sizes. F350 Dually Sienna Minivan Honda CRV Honda Civic The Hondas and Sienna have a lot of intricacies particularly on the front end, but the...

    Paint sealant and new car?

    It was built in February. The waiting period logic has been around for quite some time, but paint technology has obviously changed as well so I just wasn't sure if the logic was still applicable.

    Paint sealant and new car?

    Do new cars require the 2-3 month waiting period for paint curing before you can apply something like Opti-Seal to the paint?
