Well, I usually wash every month or so.

Hi, Next weekend, I am getting my new 2015 Honda Civic EX sedan professionally detailed and than sealed with Black Fire Wet Diamond. Going forward to maintain the finish, is using ONR (Optimum No Rinse Wash) rinseless wash, and topping off with Optimum Detailer Spray a safe bet and good course...

Trek, Yes I know, but at least I may not need a one stage paint correction this time before the Opti-Coat, like I did with my dark red 2013 Civic EX.

Hi, I just purchased a new 2015 Honda Civic EX Sedan, in Urban Titanium Metallic. The car is NOT garage kept, so I want to put the best protection on the paint. Should I go with a coating like Opit-Coat Pro, a sealant or just a wax?? I ONLY drive about 11,000 miles a year, mainly in the suburbs...

Hi, Can I machine wash my waffle weave drying towels TOGETHER with my micro fiber towels in cold wash and dry low, or must they be washed separately? What do you guys do? I apologize if this question has been asked before. Thanks!

Hi, After I have my 2013 Civic professionally detailed, paint correct and Opti-Coat Pro applied, which detailer spray will be the best choice....Sonax or Optimum? Or are they are pretty much the same and all hype? Thanks

I will be getting my 2013 Honda Civic EX professionally detailed, 1 step correction and Opti-Coat Pro applied within the next few weeks. Going forward, I want to do my best to maintain a swirl free finish the best I can. I have already purchased ONR from AutoGeek and made up a few bottles as...

Exactly how many coats of the Opti-Coat Pro should approved dealers be applying to the paint?? I have been reading conflicting information on line and heard some dealers do one coat, while another dealer will do 2 coats. What is Optimum's required application for Opt-Coat Pro? Thanks

Is Meguiar's Quik Detailer and Quik Wax sprays fine to use after a Opti-Coat Pro is applied to a car? Or are they better/safe options? Or is it ideal to use Optimum's own detailer spray? Thanks!

Is Meguiar's Quik Detailer and Quik Wax sprays fine to use after Opti-Coat Pro is applied to a car? Or are they better/safe options? Once Opt-Coat Pro is applied to my car, I want to be sure to maintain it properly. Thanks!

This is a great question that I was always curious about. The manager of a highly respected auto body shop in my area told me they never recommend machine polishing JUST to make paint perfect and remove swirls because you are always removing small amounts of clearcoat and even paint. He said...

? I guess not.

Hi, I am not sure if I am post inappropriately or in the wrong forum, so I apologize in advance.... I am looking to find a skilled, experienced detailer who is also a Opti-Coat dealer who is skilled in machine buffing to do a one step correction and than Opt-Coat on my 2013 Honda Civic EX...

KevinC... Yes I am in NJ, and thats exactly what I did first! Went to self service and blasted off all the heavy salt/grime, blasted out the wheel wells, went back home and hand washed. I mean my Civic looks beautiful now and these light scratches are ONLY noticeable to someone upon close...

Thanks, However, im a bit limited with equipment since I live in a condo development, with no access to hose or electrical outlet.

Hi, This morning I hand washed my new 2013 Honda Civic EX Sedan in Crimson Pearl, which is a wine/burgundy color. I used the Optimum No Rinse, with a wash mitt from Auto Geek and the Ultra Plush lavender 16 x 16 micro fiber towels. When I used the towels to dry, I can actually see that I was...

Thanks... If my detailer, who I trust and his highly experienced with buff/machine polishing, uses the LEAST aggressive and gentle method, due I need to worry about him removing too much clearcoat/paint? That is my concern and I dont know if I am just over thinking this or not. My hope is that...

Hi, In late March, I am having my 2013 Honda Civic EX, in Crimson Red, professionally detailed and machine polished all the LIGHT surface scratches and light spider webbing due to lazy and poor deal prep, I suspect. Does buffing/polishing work just as effectively for light swirling on plastic...

Thanks Mike, What category do you suggest posting the "Pro Detailer wanted" thread? I want to be sure I post in the correct forum.

Thanks for responding, Mike! and the others here too! Just to give you an idea.... On overcast days, my Civic's paint looks pretty close to flawless, great shine and no scratches at all can be seen. However, on super bright sunny days, ONLY at certain angles, you can see the very light spider...
