For me after polishing Xpel PPF it felt super grabby. Water sheets slowly. It was a nice surprise using HALO. Slick and hydrophobic without a topper.

I agree with Jescar Bead-it. It’s simple to use, has a decent amount of durability and gloss. My only complaint is it does allow small water spots to develop after rain. But it spots less than Sonax PNS/BSD.

Coated my wheels and calipers with Gtechniq C5. I found a clay bar was effective in removing the final black dots off the spokes and barrel. The coating spread easily and wiped off without any grab. One coat and done! After curing the gloss is wonderful. P&S Brake Buster Gtechniq W5 Iron...

I’m OCD. I like gloss all the time. I have been a weekly washer for years, and used wax, polymer sealants, SiO2 based sealants and toppers. Now I’m turned on by ceramic coatings. During winter as long as ambient temp is above 35° I’ll wear ice fishing gloves and wash. I’m also a fan of Xpel...

Contact wash today. This past week we drove ~600 miles round trip from New Jersey to spend time away in south Maine. What a beautiful state. Our SUV sat outside, went to beaches and on the way home we met quite a bit of rain from Storm Fay. I would say both sealants did their job and have...

Will do. Thanks very much!

I’ve never used a Flex 3401 so I’ll take your word for it. In terms of my experience with the Boss G15 vs GG6 there has never been an instance where I felt disappointed and a GG6 would do better. The improvement in vibration, ergonomics and maneuverability are so much higher I considered trading...

This is probably not what you want to hear but why not stay with Griots and step up to a 15mm throw to achieve more speed? My original GG6 purchased in 2006 lasted 11 years and it was replaced under its lifetime warranty. Now it’s on a 3” plate and I have a Boss G15 which is a nice step up. I...

Thank you so much. I will provide an update.

I thought it would be fun to share a few water bead pictures of the two SiO2 based sealants. They are both slick to the touch. SiSplash can be applied to a wet or dry panel and the label specifically states it plays well with all surfaces including vinyl and PPF. Also a two week test on our...

My whole car is wrapped in Xpel and I’ve tried Fictech One a 1yr simple wipe on and off coating, tried toppers like Sonax BSD, P&S Bead Maker, none of them appeared to bond well beyond a few contact washes. The latest was topping it with Fictech Supercharged Ceramic Booster and I like the water...

A week later. Wheels remained very clean and very hydrophobic.

I’m trying Sonax Wheel Rim Shield. It gives the center lug covers a satin sheen but haven’t noticed any runs.

Have you guys tried Griot’s Poly Wax? I think I read somewhere in here that it beats just about every sealant on the market. I’m also interested in the TW Hybrid line.

I suffer from rule #1

Good tip and thanks! I have been suffering with dish washing vinyl gloves. I figure I can deal with wet or cold but not both.

I randomly thought about checking the material safety data sheet for Bead Maker. Description: Orange, turbid liquid with sweet odor for use as a gloss enhancer for automobile. Composition: <2.5% alcohols, C12-14-secondary, ethoxylated <1% Benzyl Benzoate >94% Water I'm no chemist but I...

Thanks. To correct them is compound polish strong enough or wet sanding required? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for the review. I appreciate the follow up’s and professionals’ feedback. My question is after coatings cure does its hardness protect against fine scratches or swirls? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
