Hey Mike,

Can Gtechniq c2v3 or Opti-Seal sprays be used to top Wolfgang Si02 Paint Sealant or can they be used as a drying aid?

FK425 is my go-to detailer. Plenty of lubricant to protect against abrasion. Excellent finish and shine. Better than Meguiars.

I would like:

1) Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax
2) Vapamore MR-100 PRIMO Steam Cleaning System
3) The Montana Original Tri-Angle Boar's Hair Brush/Telescopic Handle
4) Auto Wenol (blue)
5)...

Which is best for a new Mercedes Palladium Silver (metallic?)

Hot Wheels!

I've used the LC 6.5 flat and the Kompressor 6". The basic flat pads have done a great job on my car. However, the Kompressor, which I've used with glaze only, has more flexibility, particularly...

I've just started using Meg's APC and I'm happy with the results. Strong enough to take off the grime but doesn't damage plastic parts I've tried so far.

Thanks for your replies!






It has always been garaged and washed frequently, but just with Palmolive liquid or inexpensive car wash then finally, with Eagle One Wet car wash, which was...

Here's my 1998 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Couldn't do "before" shots this time. But here's the finished result.

I have a Flex 3401 and would like to try them. Thank you.

I used Menzerna PO106FA followed by Menzerna PO85RD for polishing. Then I used ClearKote's Red Moose Glaze and topped it with Souveran 100% carnauba paste. I particularly wanted combinations that...

Mike---thanks for the picture by picture on effective and safe bug removal. Learned a lesson a long time ago with a new Mercedes, black clearcoat finish and bird droppings. I was on a weekend...

I received my Flex 3401 about a month ago. I called Powerhouse Distributing, the distributor and authorized service center in Omaha to inquire about lubricating the felt ring. They said that they...

Like KAIO? This finish seems very susceptible to etching or staining; i.e. there are currently water etchings. But the KAIO plus a sealer makes sense. Thanks!

Does anybody have any information on cleaning and protecting the matte gray center section of my 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer grille? I believe that it is plastic, as is the chrome portion of the...

That BBQ---when it's a good cut of meat, it's hog heaven! And it usually is a good cut of meat.

1) RMG is ClearKote's Red Moose Glaze.
2) Based on Lake Country's specifications as shown on...

I have used my Flex 3401 successfully with PO85RD, topped with RMG and Souveran. No swirls, good depth and shine. PO85RD is a final polish without much cutting. Important to use a finishing or...

M105 worked better for me than Scratch X

Thanks!

Thanks. I've read some about these. I understand that they now make a backing plate that will fit the 3401.

There is indeed a product sold for wipedown but don't know the name.

Wondering which pads generally work the best on the Flex 3401. Cobra cross groove, CCS, Flat, Kompressor? Different brands-LC, Megs, Griots, FleX (not associated with Flex the machine)? Which is...

Kevin, my neighbor, thanks for the welcome. Anywhere in the area to get some of the professional detailing supplies?

Yankeefan-you got it right!

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to read it all now.
And man, it's lunchtime here and that Carolina BBQ chicken and sausage certainly looks good!

Thanks for the replies to my question.
The IPA is a step I had missed and wouldn't have known about. Thanks.
The steps and pads outlined are helpful. KAIO is not a sealant but a paint cleaner. ...
