I have finally caved into the trim "coating" realm. I bought some Dlux. I am testing it on my 2016 Ford Escape. Application on the more smooth trim and moldings is pretty simple. However, the front...
As someone who moved from detailing automobiles to boats - no. There is a difference. When I started out on boats, I used automotive compounds and polishes. I got so-so results along with...
