Hey guys, been awhile since I posted. Moved to Germany back in August with the Air Force, and bought a 2019 Golf R US Spec with 13k miles! Pretty much my affordable dream car, always wanted one. ANYWAYS the mods have begun, and one of the purchases was a Milltek Exhaust with titanium tips...

Please don’t use the 105, yes it used to be the go-to but there’s so many better products out now. Heck even the Griots Fast Correcting Cream is a solid heavy compound. The issue you’re going to run into rather quickly is the lack of power the G9 has, grab a G15 when you can budget it and you’ll...

Did you pay for a correction or a polish and seal? Maybe talk to the shop that did the work and explain it’s not up to your standards. What machine/pads do you have?

Nah it was a quick test with a dusty pad

Holy crap what if you sprayed Neverwet on them?! It’s a fabric spray and seems to be cheap enough to give it a whirl?

Stick with the power washer method, compressed air could send that stuff everywhere. Charge him $100 extra for the service.

Well I finally used my bottle today on a hammered 2013 Range Rover, using my G15/G13 and orange pads I can’t believe the level of correction I got. I will say that it does build up in the pad and requires a blowout after each pass, I did swap pads every 2ish panels. My bottle had the standard...

Just make sure you’ve got plenty of pads, that paint is going to pop after!

I’ve found that after using dedicated glass towels, 2 each, I then chase with a Costco yellow towel and it hasn’t left any haze/streaks.

You don’t have enough volume and the pump is too slow.

MAN!!! I had a bad day with that wheel few years back, customer told me that he was washing his car and one of his emblems fell off the fender when his wash mitt hit it. So he asked me to removed the rest prior to a correction and coating, I also had one of them fall off. So removed both fenders...

As your starting out it’ll work fine, but after awhile you’ll tire of hearing it constantly going. Thats when you’ll upgrade to a bigger one, I just upgraded from my 6 gallon last summer to a 26gal and life is so much better.

Lol I’m sorry I laughed at this, there’s so many people wasting time and product doing 3 layers.

Find a professional detailers in your area.

Yeah 105 is a complete nightmare to work with, pick up some fast correcting cream and their fast correcting pads for max cut without touching MF. BOSS™ Fast Correcting Foam Pads - Griot'''s Garage Why don’t you want to go with MF pads?

Another area of concern is my machines and detailing equipment….it’s not like I’m going to stop detailing when I move there. But I did just get a nice 26g air compressor, and I don’t know if my machines would play nice with having to use a transformer to deal with the European plugs and power.

Just got the word we’re moving to Germany in August with the military for 3 years. Incredibly excited with a good bit of nerves to boot. My wife and daughter are coming with, luckily my daughter was so far ahead in high school she’s graduating a year early with one summer school class. So she...

Elixr is a straight up dust magnet. I used it to touch up some water drips on my driver side door…2 days later it was very obvious where I had sprayed it as the area was caked in dust while the rest of the car was fine. Also…yes it’s a black car.

And the orange pad with CC isn’t as aggressive as you’re thinking it is, do a quick side by side comparison on the rear of the car with both yellow and orange. My money is you’ll choose the orange pad.

I’d go correcting cream and the boss orange, with the age of the vehicle you know it’s got some dullness to it. Yellow pad and PC will be a waste of time and better results will happen with CC and the more aggressive pads.
