Wow, Mike! You are gifted with the polisher. That looks amazing! I am really inspired by those pictures. I'll have to get some pictures when I get another crack at the van next week.
Thank you for...

I'm going to paint correct my friend's VW Vanagon and I had a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I'm no stranger to paint correction, but I've never done single stage paint before...
Thanks for the reply, rimccarty2000!
Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to get rid of the swirls, just using that as a reference for the amount I had polished out. I was trying to get rid of the...
Thanks for all of the replies!
I had it coated about 5 months ago, so still pretty fresh. As far as level of polishing I performed, I went super light. The lighter swirls came out in the process,...

I have an Opti-Coat Pro Plus coating on my car, and had some wicked water spotting on it. I tried to chemically remove it, but to no avail, so on to the mechanical removal. Starting with...
Thanks for the reply, Rsurfer! I have the bigger ones and they are too large for the little places in the jambs/hinges. I have the Wheel Woolies 1" brush, too, and it's great for most things, but I...
I’ve heard that some manufacturers use a single stage paint for white now.

I recently bought a bottle of Optimum’s TPC because I wanted something that would last a long time. I found it too glossy for my taste, but the durability is pretty impressive.
I started using...
Man, I feel for you. I’m going through the same thing right now. My 6 month old black Tesla was hit and the body shop monkeys must have washed my car with gravel. The swirls are massive. The OptCoat...
I'm looking to get a tar/sap remover and was curious if there was much difference between CarPro TarX and Optimum T.A.R. I tend to lean towards Optimum's product because of my car's coating and I...
Good to know!
I just had good luck with the wash as a stripping wash, but when it comes to a rinse less wash, I’m solidly in the ONR camp.
As a side note, after I washed our Explorer today I...
Thanks for the reply!
I used it mixed 250:1 and it did a beautiful job of removing everything with zero effort and restored the hydrophobicity of my coating.
Not a brand I’ve had much exposure to,...
Good morning, experts!
I need some quick advice on whether or not it would be safe to use Feynlab Pure Wash on a Gtechniq CSL/EXOv4 coated vehicle to remove all the old sealants. I was going to use...
Thank you all for taking the time to reply to my question!
For what it's worth, when I washed the FJ, I did use that exact brush (The Wheel Woolies 1" Detail Brush). I love that thing! It was the...

Thank you for the quick reply!
Here is a picture of the areas of a similar FJ (but the one I'm working on is silver) with the area's outlined. The area around the rear corner window is...
