    Scuffed Bumper

    I have included a photo of the bumper, although it may not be helpful. The surface is smooth, so there appears to be no penetration such as one might have with a scratch.

    Scuffed Bumper

    My rear bumper made contact with a fender of another car. It was basically a bump; no damage to the bumper, slight damage to the fender. As stated, there was no damage such as dent to the bumper, but it did leave a scuffed looking area on the bumper. The bumper is black so the scuff is not real...

    Not So Easy

    expdetailing stated, "Don't fall into the trap of believing that a pbl surface cleansing polish is needed." Since I only applied one coat of Synergy, I thought I would follow up with another coat of wax in one or two months. Is it the opinion of most members that the surface cleansing polish may...

    Not So Easy

    I did not apply Synergy with the machine because I could not get the wax to pop out of the container and I do not have a pad that small, although I will get one for the future. The sealant was allowed to cure for about 18 hours. The detailing was done in a garage and the temperature here in SC...

    Not So Easy

    I was very happy with the entire process except after I applied Synergy, which I applied by hand.

    Not So Easy

    You have "nailed" my feelings and observations about this matter, expdetailing! Synergy did actually diminish the shine of the sealant; or at least I thought so. Here is more information as to the car and what I did prior to the application of the Synergy. First I washed the car with Black...

    Not So Easy

    Although it is possible I used to much wax, what expdetailing is saying makes sense, so where does that leave me? Do I omit the sealant and just use the wax or can I apply the Synergy over the sealant in a few months with better results? Which brings up another issue; doesn't Synergy require...

    Not So Easy

    I applied Synergy on my car today and found it to be rather difficult to apply and not so easy to remove. I clayed and used the cleansing polish prior to doing this. I also applied Black Label Paint Sealant prior to using Synergy. I am aware of the debate of using a sealant and a wax. After my...

    Clay vs Sealant

    In June, I removed the swirls that were on the car and then used Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish. After completing this process, I used Black Label products, first the cleansing polish followed by the sealant. The car is kept in a garage and I will not be doing an extensive detail again until...

    Clay vs Sealant

    Two questions: 1) If I clay my car, will it remove a sealant I applied a few months ago? 2) Will Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish remove the sealant? Since I applied the sealant a few months ago, I do not wish to remove it now. Thank you for advice.

    Review: Black Label Diamond Paint Coating

    I realize various factors influence how long Black Label Paint Coating will last (UP TO 3 YEARS), but what criteria would indicate that I need to reapply? I have never applied paint coatings, but I am fairly experienced in detailing. A few of the posts have me a bit worried. It seems simple...

    Introducing!! Pinnacle black label!!!

    I have used Pinnacle Natural Brilliance products for a number of years and have been very pleased, so when they came up with the Black Label products, I was quite interested. I purchased the Black Label paint coating, cleaning polish, and paint sealant. I understand a carnauba wax can be used...

    Claying

    I recently clayed a car in good condition and when I completed the task, I used the baggie test to check for smoothness. The result was a fairly smooth finish, though not as smooth as I would have expected. I felt some grittiness still present. Is this normal and if not, should I re-do the car...

    5.5 inch vs 6.5 inch Pad

    Actually it does recommend a pad. Located on the eccentric plate is the following statement: "Use 5 inch pad only."

    5.5 inch vs 6.5 inch Pad

    I have used the Porter Cable 7424 for years, but recently noticed that a 5.5 inch pad was recommended. I have always used the 6.5 inch pad and noticed in many of the videos that Autogeek has provided for us to view, that Mike Phillips even uses the 6.5 inch pad on the Porter Cable. This has...
