Went ahead and did it indoors. The smell wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. End up putting 2 coats on at about 24 hrs apart. I was expecting the coating to flash but after applying to the entire wheel and waiting a few more minutes the product never flashed. The instructions said...

I just purchased a new set of painted and clear coated 4Play wheels. Being in Indiana I also picked up some Gyeon Rim to put on them to protect against road salt. However I didn't realize that the minimum recommended temperature to apply it is around 59F and it's going to be colder than that...

I was debating on trying uber or Mckees but decided to go with ONR again since I haven't used the "new" formula.

Yes I shook the bottle often, before every spray. Interesting note about the Optimum wash. I'm about out and was planning on heading to Harbor Freight later this week to pick up another item and get some Hyperwash while I'm there. Did you notice the same with ONR? I also just ordered another...

That's good to hear on the TWHSC since I just bought some and have the wet wax on order for a drying aid. Guess I'll also looking into Cancoat as well.

It was clayed and polished this spring before the 1st application. The subsequent applications no. I've thought about can coat but I also like quick easy processes as I don't have a lot of time to devote to detailing. If it wasn't collinte not lasting either I'd write off the product. I am...

Sorry for 3 posts in a row. This truck is also new to me. It's 2 years old and don't know what the previous owner used but it was buttery smooth and large beads of water when washed. However it was swirled pretty bad and I think it was because of the tunnel wash the dealer used where I bought it.

BTW how to upload larger and higher quality photos?

I'm having an issue with Griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray not lasting, 4 weeks and it's completely gone on the hood and roof of my truck. This spring I did my first ever correction using 3d speed. I used carpro eraser after using speed because I wanted a clean surface for the 3n1. I did 2 coats of...

I was able to finish the truck this weekend and it looks great! I wasn't able to get any pics cause it was dark by they time I finished and had to take the truck in to get some warranty work done on Monday. However it took about 20 hours to wash, clay, polish, & wax. When I need to do this...

Got a chance to look at the test panels at sunset yesterday and they look great! 1000% improvement! I was hoping to do the rest of the truck this weekend but with a high of only 50degress it might keep me out of the garage LOL. Also got to make time to change out my well pressure tank as...

The spring time honey do list has kept me from doing a full correction but yesterday I had enough time to try the setup on one bedside and door. Speed with the LC white pad wasn't cutting it. It took around 12 passes to get around 70-80% defect removal on a test pass. So then I switched over...

I used it last year on all 3 vehicles applying it by hand. I probably went a little too thick but it was hard to tell where it was applied unless I went thick. I totally forgot about getting a pad to apply it with the DA... got place another order LOL

Collinite 845

Finally placed the order. Not cheap but still less than what some of the detailers around here would charge. Once the truck is done then on to the Firebird and the wife's ride. G9 & 5" backing plate Speed LC Flat pads, 6 white & 6 Orange Blackfire Pad Cleaner Pad Brush Carpro Eraser to...

Yeah I'm torn between the Speed and one. I have a feeling Speed would work just fine for the swirling that I have. However I'm also concerned that it might take more passes which means more time. Where as One would probably quicker. Guess I need figure out what pad One finishes out good with...

Thanks for all the info! I guess there's no clear cut answer, I just need to try somethings out LOL. I'm leaning towards the G9 polisher. Also for some reason leaning towards the 3D line, I keep seeing how it's very user friendly. Does the speed have fillers so it will also be masking some...

Here she is. Only 30k miles. All these years I've never made it to the nationals, I keep thinking I'll do it sometime. Bad thing is that I'm only 2 hours from it :)

Thanks for the compliment! Yes I do have a Bird, purchased new in 2002. After 21 years it too could use a tiny bit a paint correction. Once I tackle the truck I'll look in to doing the car with something that has very little cut as the paint still looks pretty good.

3D Speed seems interesting, it might provide just enough cut to get the swirls out. As far as pads go, does it make much of a difference between the pads with the dimples are the straight flats?
