I would suggest to visually watch it. I always apply over a quarter of a door or something like that, then I look for the rainbow flash. Once I see the rainbow flash, I start to wipe. That's the best way to apply CQuartz UK. I did mine in the summer time and watched for the rainbow, and was...

I would suggest trying Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax and skip the P21. The P21 as a carnauba wax will turn acidic overtime. Ultimate Paste Wax is probably the only non-SiO2 based protection I still use. Meguiar's ULW and UPW seem to have different results, I remember UPW having a very wet but...

My personal advice would be to use Kamikaze Infinity wax and skip all the spray stuff. Add on Infinity wax every two month or so, and you'll be fine.

Hey man, ya Bravo Zulu means well done, comes from the old naval flagging signals they used. Not sure why but it became "mainstream" in a lot of militaries now for well done, common wealth militaries at least like Canada, UK, etc.

I'm very jealous, nice place. Bravo Zulu

Not American, Canadian here but regardless, not a day I'd ever forget. 9/11 is what prompted me to join the military when I got old enough, I was in grade school at the time and realised having lived a life of blissful ignorance up until that point that some people in the world have a lead...

+1 for Meguiars.

Ahahahah I should've known better. Don't get me wrong, the stuff looks amazing and is a pure show car wax. Lasts about a week or so, but during that week that paint looks wetter than a lake.

At the time, believe it or not, it was Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. A friend of my girlfriends waxed his Black GTI with it, and he kept the paint pretty clean and I was like woah damn what did he do to that thing. I started off with youtube videos from Chemical Guys, eventually found videos on...

Does the weather get hot there? If you take it out a lot during hot sunny days, I'd steer you away from a pure Carnauba wax. Wolfgang Estate might be the best option. Pure Carnauba becomes acidic over time so for single stage, it'd mean it oxidizes faster. If it's in good condition, then I would...

If you're gonna compound, I learned over the years that Meguiars Cutting pads or the X-Cutting pads are great. As long as the compound is good quality, it doesn't necessarily matter if that makes sense. I agree with Guz, Sonax liquids are the most pleasant I've used so far. I always end up going...

I've tried out a Flex 3401 and I gotta say, I've picked up enough joint aches in the past where this machine is not for me. However, it can power through some *$&#. You can load it up with compound and a microfiber cutting pad and take a new mercedes and be finished cutting faster and safer than...

TO be honest, I find myself sometimes overworking a product at times when for example, two or three passes would've cut already but I ended up doing 5 to 6 because I started introducing more marring than needed with loaded up clearcoat. So now, I test spot one pass at a time. Kevin Brown test...

I love seeing things like this, because there is always a first step. Most people don't start off by picking up a paint thickness gauge and 3 polishers and start doing an 100% paint correction. This is a great way to do your first polishing job, and the car came out great.

Hey noorth, Here's what I would suggest because this is what I would do. Don't do two set passes and go. Do one pass at a time, wipe off after each with panel wipe and check results after each pass. I would say do the trunk with this combo. Then try 3D One with a polishing pad on one side with...

To the OP.. I get it. I've gotten to the point where I'm a bit .. jaded? I'm not sure if that's the right word. When people ask me how I get my car so "shiny", I just tell them it's work that they most likely do not have the patience or inclination for. Just like how many people at car shows...

It's always about the reflection of light essentially. Wax on its own is essentially a very very thin film of oil that sits on the paint. Sealant is a very very thin layer of polymer. A coating is a very very thin layer of siloxane resin. What I find for best result is always a coating with a...

The reason for expiration date is because Korea requires everything produced for export to have an expiration date. I've used 3 year old Essence (I don't use it too much normally, only when I coat with Cquartz UK.) However, my advice would be to give it a good solid shake for a while before you...
