    What happens to ceramic as it ages?

    Maybe this has been asked before, but what happens to ceramic coating as it ages? Obviously it loses some of its magic, but do you just add a new coat on top as it ages? I have used ceramic before,...

    Re: Best Ceramic for Wheels

    It didn’t occur to me that the finish would be important. I went back to the factory specs and they are indeed painted with a clear coat.

    Well I should have mentioned that the aluminum wheels must have some type of clear coat since it’s a brand new Corvette C8. I can’t believe that it’s just bare metal. Should’ve mentioned that up...

    Another question, is the rinseless just for washing with water, or do you use it like your waterless?

    Dirty car cover

    I bought a 2006 Z06 a few months ago.
    It came with a custom fitted Z06 cover.
    My concern is that the previous owner didn't always dust the car off before covering it. I polished out the finish that...

    I can't thank you guys enough.
    205 = zip. No difference that I could see.
    105 = WOW. I followed with 205, but I don't know if it even made a difference. The 105 really did it.

    Re: Griot's 3" vs Using 4" with PC

    I faced the same choice. When I saw the limited pads available for the 3" I went with the PC. I got the 2-7/8" backing plate for 3" pads and 3-1/2" for 4" pads.
    Now I have the best of both worlds....

    Thanks for the input.
    The scratches are hardly noticeable, so I probably don't need the 205.
    I started with the 105 and a white pad. When it didn't do much, I went to the yellow.
