Wow that came out excellent, nice job!

Had a Harley customer ask me if I could ceramic coat the chrome bits on his 2016 Low Rider including the exhaust. I told him probably not but honestly not really sure since I never had anyone ask me do it. I have coated chrome emblems/badges in the past with no issues but not sure how the...

^ This, that’s probably your issue. Make sure you clay bar the hell out of the paint first. Your probably just picking up a ton of contaminates. You don’t need to be concerned using a white pad either, there’s not enough cutting power there. If I were you I would probably to a 2-step compound...

Just use iron-x, clay bar will cause the coating to fail prematurely. The only coating safe clay bar I know of is 22ple but I have not tested. Normally for my own car and clients I recommend - treatment of iron x in the spring and in the fall right before winter. Doing that I never seem to have...

I have corrected several Toyota’s (newer) and all of them had a pretty hard clear coats and it took a lot of time to level down it the defects. Being a 2016 I can’t imagine that the clear coat would be near jeopardy if you were to hit is with a medium cut polish. Only true way to tell is to see...

Yeah I can see where that could be an issue. 95% of my details are out of the sun so I’ll keep that in mind if I ever have to clay bar in the sun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought one of these after being skeptical for a long time. After years of using clay bar It’s officially my least favorite part of the detailing process so I finally bit the bullet and picked up the NanoSkin Wash Mitt in hopes to speed up the clay bar process. I know a lot of people say it’s...

You sound exactly like me but I am in fact crazy lol. I am a Network Administrator of a large law firm and I still have a Detailing business on the side. I usually work my full time job between 37-40+ hours a week plus some weeknights after hours during upgrades. That being said, its not easy...

That looks fantastic, nice work! I find it hard to work with GM paint, well at least with the 2017 Silverado I just did a couple weeks ago. It had some hard ass clear coat....

That’s pretty awesome. I mean they better not be screwing up McLaren paint! I think they can afford to hire qualified retailers though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are OEM optional I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got some above freezing temps this weekend and tackled this beast. I don't know what it is with this Chevy's paint but it was extremely difficult to work with, I still am not completely satisfied with the outcome and feel somewhat defeated. The truck definitely looks a hell of a lot...

I agree with you, He was just in a rush to get into a new vehicle. When I bought my brand Accord I told them to not even take the plastic off and they were happy to do what I wanted. I wouldn’t have even dealt with a dealer like this, pretty ridiculous. Like other mentioned, the majority of...

I just couldn't believe my eyes so I had to share this with my Autogeek friends. One of my good buddies bought a brand new Chevy 1500 High Country from a dealer in CT. He immediately gave me a call before purchasing to ask me about doing a GTechniq CSL/EXO ceramic coating. I said sure lets do...

Excellent, That was going to be my next question if claying could possibly shorten the life of the coating. "Can I decontaminate using IronX" Guess the answer to that is yes. Thanks!

So this year I have been applying GTechniq CSL and EXO V3 to most of my customers cars. I have been super happy with the product and the feedback from my customers has been very positive. I had a few customers ask me if it is safe to use a mild clay bar or a fine NanoSkin clay pad as they have...

Wow, thats a lot of pads and polishers lol. I normally use 3 pads for compound and 2-3 for polish. Guess I need to step up my game. Thanks for the response!

Hi Mike, I have a question about the pad washer. I am thinking about purchasing the Universal Grit Guard washer today. Can this be used to clean the pads "on the fly" with my Rupes 21? I guess the only concern I have is the moisture after drying the pad. I would assume that the pad would not be...

Starting to take on a lot more volume of cars lately and I am considering to purchase a Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer while there is 20% off today. My main question is can this washer be used for "on the fly" cleaning? I use the complete Rupes compound/polishing system with my Rupes 21. I am...

Did you look on eBay? Might be more U.K. Lights there. Don't you guys have hardware stores that carry Par38 bulbs or is too pricey locally? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
