    Mckeeys 37 Ceramic Question

    I had lots of overspray from using Mckees 37. I wouldn't be surprised if the particles drifted over and onto the paint even if you didn't spray the paint directly. I didn't notice when I was applying it but definitely noticed it the next day as it dried/cured.

    Contaminants on ceramic coating

    Yep same here. I've used a few coatings (currently mckees 37 v2) and that's always the case for me as well. You can get it 'clean' but it's still contaminated and has a film that builds over the course of a long winter. Tar X and a light clay help significantly. But even still theres gunk on the...

    SEMA 2018 New Products - New Products Coming Soon!

    Based on the description it appears to be just a trim protectant. I didn't see any mention of cleaning abilities. If that's the case then it's not similar to the old BF AIO Trim & Tire. Although maybe you were referencing a trim sealant they used to make that I'm forgetting.

    Pinnacle glass cleaner with water repellant.

    Been using it for a couple years. Great cleaning and water repellant. And just fine over a glass coating.

    NEW! Dr. Beasley's Bug Barrier!

    Hmm. Very interesting sounding product. But color me skeptical that a spray on liquid can prevent rock chips. I'm guessing this is similar to a sealant?

    Fell for the sales pitch - Griots Garage Orbital

    I use the Boss 3" backing plate and pads on my GG 6" DA polisher. I find that it gives a lot more cut than the 5" pads. I have a black MB with rock hard paint and I find 3" pads (MF pads) cut way quicker than the 5" pads. Depending on how serious your defects are they may or may not get them...

    Mckee's paint coating problems.

    I feel your pain. I found v2 to be a PITA to apply.

    Very unique damage with Porter Cable Polisher and Meguiars M105

    Looks to me like he burned through the clearcoat

    Reload over Pinnacle Souveran ?

    Agreed. I'd probably use Pinnacle Crystal Mist Detail Spray as my QD in that case. And then use Souveran Liquid Spray Wax every couple weeks to maintain that original look. Reload may work but it'll change the look. I'd also check for streaking before I did the whole car.

    What do you use to protect windshield wiper arms?

    I use Carpro DLUX on wiper arms and cowls (as well as on the trim and wheels) of our cars. Never had an issue and lasts many months.

    Gloss Meter

    Well, some people spend that much chasing the newest wax/sealant/coating trying to find the 'shiniest' one on the planet. I'd never buy one but I could see it being useful for a manufacturer or detailer trying to provide objective claims.

    Good second-rate MF drying towel

    If it were me, I'd just get the 2 pack of small GG PFM towels. If you are using it for your 'clean up' towel, you honestly could do an entire car with just one of these 16 x 16 towels. Then hang it to dry and re-use later. It is a little pricey at $23 for 2, but if you wait until they are on...

    one step or AIO

    You are referring to diminishing abrasives or 'DAT'. The Menzerna line uses DAT abrasives. Mike or others can chime in with a lot more detail.

    Can I used Hydrosilex over SF 3500?

    Agreed. Menz. is very oily. I'd go over it with some kind of wipe down (Eraser, etc.) after polishing.

    Pinnacle Jeweling Wax

    I'd be surprised if there was a difference. Both claim to be the 'finest' polishes providing maximum clarity in their respective lineups. I would expect the abrasives in the Pinnacle Jeweling Wax to be similar unless they went out and created something brand new.

    Pinnacle Jeweling Wax

    Pinnacle Advanced Finishing polish and Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 would fit that bill currently.

    Engine bay dressing-- what do you use?

    BF Trim & Tire AIO. No longer made unfortunately.

    Car has been corrected too many times what products do you recommend

    My pick would be Poorboys World Black Hole if it's a black or dark colored car / White Diamond if it's white/silver. Then follow up with any quality sealant. That should cover up most of the defects so long as they aren't too terrible.

    PA Gold Zircon

    This has always been my experience with carnauba-based products.

    For all the naysayers who say you can’t clay black paint w/o marring
