  1. Re: Need recommendation for towels for first ceramic coating

    Just coated my car over the weekend. I’ve used trc pearl, edgeless 300 and edgeless 365. Here is what I think works best when applying csl + evo since that’s the costing I went with.

    With csl,...

    Re: 24 Hours Between EXO v4 Coats?

    Decided to bring this thread back and wanted to say I removed a 6-7month old CSL coating with a yellow pad + menzerna 3800. Coating is not hard to remove at all as I only did one pass and it came...

    Also to my knowledge, I know reset can be used for both foam cannon and bucket shampoo. What are your thoughts on having Reset as a dedicated bucket wash and having something like Adams Mega foam as...

    Re: Having trouble with hard black paint

    That sounds pretty cool but times are different now. Hopefully things start going back to "normal" soon!

    I've always thought Audis had hard paint so didn't think too much about towel marring. Now...

    Re: Car Shampoo for ceramic coating?

    I decided to purchase the reset. I’ll likely do a test to see if it’ll actually have any noticable performance difference.

    Also has anyone used Gyeon bath? I know Gyeon and CarPro have very similar products like Prep and Eraser.
    Does bath perform like reset?

    Appreciate the generosity! I pulled the trigger on some edgeless 300 in hopes it can work with coat leveling and polish removal. Now I’m waiting for a few more things to come in before starting the...

    Can someone explain why Reset is "better" than something like CG Honey Dew Snow Foam or Adams car shampoo? To my knowledge, the most important thing to look for in coat friendly soap is if its pH...

    Re: Having trouble with hard black paint

    Read somewhere that panel wipe might be too harsh on repainted surfaces. Since my bumper was recently repainted, I’ll just play it safe with Eraser.

    Would the windex solution you mentioned earlier be the preferred method as a last wipe down for oils?

    I heard it’s strong stuff and I was planning to spray it onto a Mf towel to perform the wipe off as opposed to on the panel with Gyeon prep. I’ll keep that in mind.

    Would you suggest me going...

    Re: Having trouble with hard black paint

    They are not the edgeles. They are just general multipurpose mf towels 300gsm 80/20 marketed by TRC. I’ll likely buy some more edgeless 365 for leveling and general use.

    I’m also thinking about...

    Reason why im avoiding the CarPro essence is because it appears to contain SiO2 in it and my rear bumper was painted not too long ago. Not sure if it'll cause any off gas issues. Thats why I'm...

    Got it. I’ll give the edgeless microfiber a shot first. I know Guz mentioned that my car potentially have soft paint. With what I’m dealing with, is it safe to conclude that my Audi does indeed have...

    Is this to replace Gyeon prep? Will the winded + 50% be sufficient for ceramic coating after?

    Just did another test spot but with the g8 3in + boss yellow pad in speed 6. Once with menzerna and once with Koch chemie. This produced similar results with g9 + 6in rupes yellow on speed 4.

    I thought this too. That’s why I used a MF pad + cutmax. I can’t imagine going anymore aggressive than this. While it got rid of all the scratches/marring, it did leave a foggy finish which is what I...

    Re: Having trouble with hard black paint

    I hear you on that. I guess I can use the 6in pads for even larger surfaces so they’re not collecting dust. That way I can buy maybe a few less 5in pads.
