@the_gus and @williams Thanks for the replies. What detail spray would you recommend aside from gtechniq and v7? Best bang for the buck.

Hi, I preformed a two stage correction polish and then prepped the car so I put a coat of GTechniq CSL. The car came out pretty good if I do say so myself. I ran out of time and did not get around to putting down a coat of GTechniq EXO (I purchased the GTechniq EXO and CSL Kit). It's been a...

Merry Christmas to all. I was also contemplating McKee's 37 Paint Coating Bundle - New Formula for the ease on application etc. Is the McKee's comparable to the "GTechniq line? For $45 it almost seems too good to be true. Thanks again!

Hi, I have 3 personal cars that get the 'detail' treatment at my house (Lexus, Mustang, Pontiac Trans Am). I've done the 2-3 steps correction process and they look good for awhile (2 of these cars sit outside all the time). I like using collinite 845 but been contemplating use a 'coating'...

Hi, Like a dummy I spilled some coffee from my coffee cup (luckily the lid was only slightly open) on my wife's Lexus is250 which has perforated leather seats. I immediately got the only towel I had in my car (terry cloth) and soaked as much as I could. I left the towel in place for hours...

I usually follow up with a two bucket method for all my cars but for my son's car we just wanted to perform a quick wash before giving it to the new owner. Most folks don't appreciate a very clean/detailed car (for a low cost vehicle such as this; 2000 eclipse).

Hi, I usually use the two-bucket method on my personal cars with mf wash mitt, mf towels etc and get good results. Yesterday I used the foam cannon for the first time on my son's car. I rinsed the car with the pressure washer, foamed, wiped with mf mitt, rinsed, mf towels to dry. The car...

Hi, I have a 90' Mustang with a vinyl top. I washed the top with a vert cleaner and then treated the top with 303. It turned out great! If I wash my car 2-4 times per month, do I treat the top with 303 every time? That seems excessive. What's good practice? Thanks in advance.

I would say brushed.....I assume smooth has no 'grain' lines.

Hi, Have any of you worked your magic on a stainless steel fridge that had scratches etc? If so, what steps did you take? Thanks in advance.

Agree, if they see the time spent on their car, they will mention it.

My parents own a black Lexus that has swirls etc and I'd like to do a paint correction because I can't stand it. I'm sure they'll hardly notice.

Hi, I did a paint correction on my wife's Lexus is250 (compound/polish/sealant/wax; menzerna/jet seal/BWW) and it came out pretty good if I say so myself (I don't have photos to share). No one else on my side of the family or my wife's maintain their vehicle's like I do. They do the average...

I forgot to mention I already own 303 convertible top protectant. I don't have a brush aside from the one I use to clean my wheels? - Chemical Guys ACC_G08 - Wheel & Tire Brush, Short Handle Would this be too harsh on a vinyl top?

Hi, I have a vinyl vet top on my 90' Ford Mustang and I'm wondering if I need to use a 'horsehair' type of brush to clean. Can I use a harsher brush? Thanks in advance.

This past weekend I had the privilege of dealing with water spots on my Lexus is250. Previous attempt with claying, compound and polish did not do the trick (PC 7424xp). After some advice from this forum, went with "ironX", clay again, MF pad on a my dewalt 849 with menz fg400, polish with my...

I went ahead and ordered and Iron X. I proceeded to wash the car, use ironX as instructed on the hood and roof, wash the car again, and then clayed the car.I then went with a MF pad with Menzerna FG400 on a Dewalt 849 and the water marks seemed to disappear for the most part. I did a second...
