The Skin part of the kit is super smooth to use.
I’m sorry you had some issues and that turned you off towards using a coating. Maybe the first time you wash your car coated with Syncro that will change your mind again, the water behavior on that coating is insane.
Well good news is there are some fantastic people on here and one I lean on a lot for certain things that I got some good advice from. I did talk with Jeff from Gyeon USA and went over some stuff. Unfortunately pretty much everything doors down has to be polished and recoated but is what it is
Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I’ve been detailing alot of vehicles lately... Unfortunately I’ve been sucking at taking pictures. I did a 2014 Denali Truck a couple of days ago but all I have is this Before picture.
Yesterday I detailed a 2018 Cadillac CT6. This picture doesn’t do it justice but I left this thing better than new! Claymitt followed by Beadmaker and the slickness & shine can really impresses the customer like almost nothing else.
IMO the interior of this Cadillac is really nice. There’s power connections where you wouldn’t expect them, supple leather seats, soft padded door panels & dash, and in true Cadillac form, they still include the ashtray compartments even for the rear passengers, however there’s no lighters inside, only the ashtray. [not sure if you could have lighters even if requested these days with how sissified the world has become, but I found it a nice touch to still include the ashtrays]
The rear seat center console is very nice, as is the console in the front, which can open from both directions which I found to be pretty thoughtful.. Rear window sunshades, everything you’d expect in a Cadillac all the way down to some of the best paint on any vehicle in the world. No finicky soft paint on a Caddy... This is Merica!
Also installed some new and really nice 360 degree swivels to the two Tornador units, one Black set up as a blower and the Other a black converted to the Velocity Vac System. These are much better than my old set that I bought initially and will allow for much easier maneuvering in tight places.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Yesterday the SS got a thorough cleaning inside and out. This morning I rolled the winter wheel/tires out into the driveway for a good scrubbing. I used Eagle One tire and wheel cleaner, brushes and a boars hair brush to get them squeaky clean. After I dried them I rolled them back in the garage to continue drying overnight. Tomorrow I'll wipe them down with GTechniq panel wipe and recoat them with leftover McKee’s Wheel Coating and tires will get Adam’s Tire Armor. Then it’s off to the corner of the garage until November.
Went fishing today and did well until the sun ( and everybody else) came out. Walking back to the car I noticed bird dookie on three panels and the windshield. This is why I always have a small bottle of Detail Spray and an old high quality MF towel with me.
