Preparing to do a UK 3.0 application followed by SIC.
Should I apply SIC right after the UK application even if it is 90-120 minutes? Or wait 24 hours?
Thanks Mike. I prepped the car completely, so I am guessing there was dust or other contaminants that hit the surface before the second application. I did the 2nd application the morning after the...
I have been using the Flex “The Beast” 3401 for many years. The Lake Country Hybrid pads have been my go to pads and I have been satisfied with their performance and match for the Beast.
As a huge Wolfgang WGDPS user and fan, I used the new Si02 sealant this weekend.
it was easy to apply and wipe off just like WGDPS…no real differences noted. It did seem slightly more watery but...
Well, much to my surprise….you were right!!!! The backing plate that came with my new G15 somehow is defective! I had forgotten until this morning that I had purchased a “back up” backing plate….it...
I am going to try to attach some of my other LC pads (flat, CCS) and see if the attachment is any firmer. The hybrids were easy to peel off the backing plate…little attachment strength. I’ll let...
I took my Griots G15 polisher for its first drive today. I was most surprised that the griots backing plate did not provide the firm grab with my LC Hybrid pads and hold them firmly in place. As a...
Hey thanks guys for the prompt feedback and insight. Your help is appreciated! I am going to wash with purple power and wipe down with eraser or poor boys to get the paint ready and then apply the...
Thanks much for this info. Good options to get through winter. How does the WG SI02 silica spray differ from the coating? Is it like reload that has a lower amount of Si02 but helps energize the...
DMiglio — Thanks. Your comments make sense. I usually do the WDGPS routine as you outline. I will likely try the ceramic this winter and see how it does.
I am a big fan of WGDPS and am ready to apply it before winter. I’ll wash to strip and then apply 2 coats of WDGPS via machine...not a full detail at this time as paint still looks good from the...
Has anyone used a ceramic spray coating on external trim? I’m cleaning up textured trim on an MDX and have thought about using a spray coating like Wolfgang or Last coat or the Turtle Wax. I’d...
I am seeing new coating applicators become available — small foam applicators using microfiber or suede (fine) microfiber for application of coatings. They are about the same size of the small foam...
Desertnate — thanks. Maybe the smearing idea is the right one. I clearly see the rainbow and have a good idea that it’s flashing like it should, it just seems like it wipes off too easy even at 4-5...
Thanks Guz. Agreed—I do follow those instructions, including on a freshly polished vehicle with Eraser prior. I don’t think I am putting it on too thick as a 30ml bottle is sufficient for my...
Thanks Mike! Is the Supa Beast’s positive drive the same as The forced rotation on the Beast? Does the Supa Beast perform like the Beast, e.g, great for compounding? Maybe it’s better? Let me...
