Well, I just ordered the Essence and I'm gonna try topping it with the PBL. Sent from my iPad using Autogeekonline mobile app

Paint Protection Film. I traded the Subaru for several reasons. The wife couldnt drive it, and I'm actually a Toyota tech so it was a headache when I needed to take her car in for service. I wanted to love the car, but the honeymoon wore off. No offense to Subaru owners, but the Camry is just...

I just bought a '17 Camry XSE V6 in Midnight Black. I have a few questions... About a year ago, I posted about my last car ('16 Subaru WRX - Crystal Black Silica). I used my PC7424, Meguiars Ultimate compound, Wolfgang Finishing Glaze (which I love), finished with the Pinnacle Black Label...

I pulled it out of the garage this morning, and in the sun, I could see a lot of spots and streaks where I missed when wiping off the excess. I went over the spots with Meguiars Ultimate Detailer, and that cleared it up for the most part. I also missed a fine scratch on the RR C-pillar/quarter...

I finished the coating a little while ago. I'm gonna leave it in the garage until tomorrow. I'll snap some pics when I get it out in the sun. I had a hard time on the back of the car. Nothing with the PBL coating. The BF Paint Prep didn't want to flash off right where the sun was shining...

I love my Nanoskin sponge. I have the blue fine grade. I've used it 3 times now. The first time I used their Glide lubricant, but I recommend using your wash bucket. The Glide lube is hard to wipe off. After you wash, you can throw the sponge in your wash bucket, soak up the soapy water, and...

Some of you may remember my issues with the Blackfire Crystal Coat. I had bought the whole BF CC Kit, and the general consensus seems to be that the LC Wedge Applicators make it difficult to apply the coating as thin as it needs to be. Nick offered to send me another bottle of it, or something...

Yeah, from my understanding, it's easy if you apply it extremely conservatively. I don't think I've seen this mentioned, but if you could put the BFCC into a dropper, or something else, that would make it easier to control the flow onto the applicator. The BFCC is very watery, and the cap...

More pics... It's too bad these get scaled down because they look fantastic on my iPad/Phone

I got the car Friday night. It was filthy. Open carrier from CO to TN with inclement weather...rain, snow, salted roads. I ran it through a local touchless wash, and it didn't do much of anything. I knew it had a lot of water spots and a few door cup scratches before I started washing...

I prep'd the whole car, starting with the hood. I started coating the hood so it hat plenty of time, but it was completely clean and dry. Temperature, I would assume was around 60 in my basement garage, which is loosely climate controlled. I'm sure it wasn't more than 60. It was in the low 30s...

Brand new bottle. Ordered just a few weeks ago. The seal was opened immediately before application. I tried to follow the way Mike did in that video, but it just wasn't working out. I just finished up with the Crystal Seal. I was running out of time. I worked on my car about 14 hours yesterday...

I'm giving up, and just applying Crystal Seal for now. I tried putting it on thinner, and wiping more quickly this morning. Still really difficult...nothing like the YouTube videos. I was going to use the CS on everything else anyway. I've never use it before, but I like it so far.

It's been a long day... I finished washing, decontaminating, and polishing my new WRX today. I figured I would knock out the coating tonight., but I was wrong. I hit it with the BF Paint Prep, and started applying the BFCC with a LC wedge applicator. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I can't get...

I know the Crystal Seal is suitable for glass and plastics, but what about the coating? Should I mask off headlights, trim, etc? I have both products, and will be detailing my new car soon.

Thanks, Andre! I saw the write-up you did. That WRX turned out great, and was definitely a contributor in my decision to go with the Crystal Coat. I really wanted some that prototype polish when I saw it. 😉

I hear you on the front bumper. There's a lot going on, and really the whole front clip looks like it would pose some challenges with a larger pad. My '09 xB was easy, with its large, open panels. I'm gonna start with white pads. They should finish well with the WGFG, from what I gather. I...

I always hate the look of film, but it would be worth my while probably. I work at a Toyota dealership. I had already planned on doing the door cups, but I can get the front done at work for around $400 or so. If I do go that route, should I wait to apply the Crystal Coat?

Yeah. Honestly, I've thought about returning the pad because I really don't see the need after using the sponge. It made the decon a breeze, and my xB was a gritty mess. I should have used IronX on it, but I didn't know about it at the time.

I plan on ordering some IronX, and I have the Autoscrub fine sponge and pad for the DA. I used the sponge on my xB a few weeks ago. I wasn't brave enough to try the pad on the DA, but the sponge was incredibly easy to use.
