Wow, thanks for all the responses. For the record, I'm just a DIYer, not in it as a business. That being said, sounds like Megs is winning out. I'll have to check into this 3d/hd, never used it.

Simple question, if you had to use just one brand of product (Meguiars, Black Fire, Pinnacle, Griots, etc.) to provide every product you use in the detailing process (other than actual equipment), which one would you go with? I know it's silly, but I have a thing about wanting to use just one...

A little off topic, but am I the only one who HATES cleaning interior glass? That is by far the worst part of detailing IMO.

In that case I think I was putting it on way too thick. I could see the swirls where I was putting it. In that case, this jar of wax will last forever!

Yes, the sealant actually cured 24 hours. I might have been putting it on too heavy, don't really know how to tell. Yes, one panel at a time. Typical Tennessee weather conditions, warm and humid.

Sorry, should've mentioned that this is on my 2013 Mercedes C350...white. Also, I washed with CG Citrus, used the Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge – Fine Grade, and applied the BF Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection prior to putting on the carnauba. Also, for those of you that have...

Hope someone can help. I applied the BF Wet Diamond Paint Sealant and now I'm trying to follow up with the Midnight Sun Carnauba. The paste goes on VERY easy, but I can't seem to get it all the way off. I'm sure there is something wrong with what I'm doing, but I can't figure it out. I'm...

I can't stand the smell of Meg's 40, very chemical like. I've just discovered Optimum Power Clean APC and so far I like it better than Ultima Interior Gel.

Any other suggestions? Can anyone tell what those spots are and how they might have been caused?

Sorry, guess I left out some details. I'm using a Porter Cable (old version, not XP). Working the product until dust starts appearing. Machine set on 5 with varying degrees of pressure ranging from it barely turning to turning fast. It surprised me when the 105 didn't result any hazing like I've...

I'm getting frustrated with my 2008 Lexus ES 350 paint. It appears to be etched really bad or something and I don't know how to correct it at this point. Here is what I've tried so far. 1) Megs 205 with Orange LC pad - nothing 2) Megs 205 with Yellow LC pad - nothing 3) Megs 105 with Orange LC...

Me too, I've tried the powder stuff you can order on AG and it didn't do much for getting Black Fire Wet Diamond sealant out. I kept squeezing product out of it and finally just threw the applicator away.

I love Glossworkz! It seems to provide a higher lubricity for me...especially compared to Black Fire shampoo (which I was very disappointed in).

What do you consider "overworking" the surface? I've got some scratches I'm going to work on and don't want to do that!

Interested to hear the responses.

Yeah, I've left it on a car for far longer than this and didn't have an issue. Must be some sort of test tube species.

Here's the story; I went through the following process the weekend before last on my 2008 Lexus ES 350 (charcoal): 1) Washed with CG Citrus 2) Clayed with Pinnacle Poly Clay 3) Polished with Megs 205 (I'm still afraid of 105 being a new guy) 4) Sealed with BF Wet Diamond Car looked great after...

That's what I'm using and from what I understand is what the Porter Cable was designed to use (someone could maybe confirm or deny that).

Black Fire gel applied x2 looks dripping wet and smells great!

Thanks, this is a one owner with 230k miles. Color is gray/silver. Still the original paint, never wrecked. It's a family member's car so I know all the history. Gets washed regularly but very rarely (maybe every couple years) gets waxed. Never polished and never sealed.
