    Re: Need a second eye on my process

    I agree and used this approach last year, but I found 3D One didn't correct or finish as well as Sonax Perfect Finish and left more oil residue on the pad and paint. I also preferred the Rupes yellow...

    Re: Need a second eye on my process

    I have a black NC Miata with very soft paint like your S2K. Here's my 4 years of experience and how I approach caring for the paint now.

    I have done a 2-3 stage compound and polish about 4 times...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Well then I'll have to add Sonax S+S to my testing. I'm going to leave the rocker panels bare for toppers only. Will probably start with what I have--BSD, IGL Premier, Kamikaze Over Coat--and then...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    I'm impressed again by DG 931 and also by Sonax S+S and Dodo Red Mist. It'll be interesting to see how 931 and Red Mist hold up when the rain comes.

    I would expect S+S will do well in the wet...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    I asked about the cure time because some of these products don't tell you how long and recommendations on forums vary quite a bit. Also because I've got a lot of dust and pollen so letting cure for...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    As you're thinking of doing this group again, what buff-off times would you recommend for the tin waxes?

    Double coats of anything, either last time or next?

    Re: Sealant comparison

    I'd love to see that pro/con post. I can agree I see more cons now, but I probably haven't thought of or experienced everything. As far as water spots, I would think that many dryer but hotter...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Thanks Rippy for the clarification. It's suprising to me that in your test FK1000P didn't do as well as 845 and that 915 was so far back from them, since the majority opinion (rarely, it seems, based...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Just about to decide what products I'll be using for the next year, and it would be so much more difficult, uncertain, and needle-in-haystack without your testing. Thank you! It helps that I'm near...

    Re: Bug guts etching EXO?

    If you still have those I agree it's worth trying again, but this time frequently applying a light topper like Reload. I think I'll repolish and do half the hood with CSL and Reload and half with a...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Thanks, that makes sense to me. I just had Can Coat over CSL leave etched spots (tried all chemical removal options with no improvement) after the first drive 3 weeks after coating, topped with...

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Rippy, have you noticed any of the longer lasting products that seem to do well or poorly with water spots and etching? I've had too many etching problems with coatings so I'm looking to switch to...

    Re: CSL or Cosmic V2

    I agree that CSL doesn't do much for looks. I had it and Sonax PNS on adjacent newly polished black panels and there was no discernable difference in saturation or depth, maybe a slight hint more...

    Re: Bug guts etching EXO?

    I just had the same thing happen to me with Can Coat applied over CSL. The bug guts were left on for no more than 12 hours. It was my first time taking the car out since the coatings were applied 3...
