I typically use Mckees 37 high intensity APC diluted either 10:1 or 15:1 depending on how dirty it is. I aggitate with a soft bristle brush and dry. Then use a leather conditioner of your choice....
Perhaps use a pop-up tent to block most of the sun and use a product (mentioned earlier) like Gtechniq's CSL? It's super easy to apply and remove, plus it only requires one layer. Better longevity...
I really like the Griots Garage Finishing Sealant. But you can't go wrong with HD Speed either. There are literally so many options out there so don't go crazy trying to pick one. Most of them do a...
For heavy cutting its a Meguiars Microfiber Cutting disc and Sonax Cutmax or Griots FCC for me. Great combo. Other good compounds are D300, FG400, M105 (besides the dusting) and Jescar correcting...
I just PM'd Nick on the 23rd pertaining to this issue. I was at a mobile job and had three different spray nozzles lock up on me. I wound up using something else I had which is unfortunate because I...
The Sunday that just passed I did a one step correction on a 2010 Camaro SS. Came out very nice! Orange pad with Griots correcting cream and a 21mm polisher. Topped with powerlock + and Meguiars...
I've used it as "weak" as 10:1 on tires and it still does a great job! My standard dilution ratio for it is either 4:1 or 5:1 and there hasn't been a tire I can't get clean.
I'll be doing the same with my winter wheels this season to try it out. I'm most likely going to try out gloss coat since I can get it so cheap and it's super easy to apply.
In some instances one particular DA isn't the best tool for the job. If you're working on super soft paint, a 21mm throw polisher won't be your best option as it creates more heat than a 15mm or 8mm...
I can't explain what you are feeling, but I can tell you I have never experienced a difference in the "suppleness" of any leather after applying leather conditioner. There is a plastic coating on...
Rupes also came out with a forced rotation polisher. I believe it has a 3mm (correct me if I'm wrong) throw. I've heard great things about it from a few detailers.
