I've been using Essence as a primer to a non-Cquartz coating since Essence was released about 6-7 mos ago. And so far, everything is holding up great. I've coated approx 20 cars like this, including...

bad body work

I agree that $20 is too cheap, our washes start at $30, we a fixed location and do volume

I disagree with "making no money on washes" and here's why: Most customers need a detail and dont even...

Light agitation with a magic eraser and water work wonders.

Well I consider it proof when I see CC damage resembling the shape of the underlying hood structure or lack of heat protection.

Of course heat plays a factor! Ever see a hood with more CC damage than the roof?

the "topper" is the top nano coat. After that, you can use any wash products and waxes you like to clean and maintain, it just wont last as the Nano will repel them after full cure. I use the green...

Pearl Nano is made in Japan FYI.

Someone on the Pearl Nano Intallers FB page already threw a plethora of chemicals at pearl and they did not strip. Dont remember exactly what he tried, but straight acid and some other really harsh...

I agree with neither, although I use hyper on tires. Both will run off of trim in the rain and not last too long, depending on how many coats a,d how you diluted.

I like Adams VRT and UTTG

I've done one about 4 months ago, a Single stage White Toyota and its holding up strong! Just gotta find the right product.

Out here in HI, nothing i've used as an LSP lasted 3 months without...

Had this on a customers Acura TL. We used a paper clip and vacuum to try loosen the dried milk and suck it out. Then I sprayed Megs D116 all into the holes and left it for a bit, then sucked as much...

Are you talking about Pearl Nano? If so, the reasoning behind the 2 layer system is many. Separetly, the 2 different coats offer different abilities. The base coat isn't as hydrophobic as the top...

Thanks, I've been using Nanoskin mitts for years now and know how to clay/use them. I know the rubber is supposed to be somewhat sticky, I was just surprised that it reacted with the D114 in such a...

Has anyone used this combo for claying?

I recently did, mixing 1:128 of d114 I used it to clay a vehicle. The D114 seemed to affect the clay mitt by turning the rubberized areas SUPER STICKY to...

heat gun, plastic razors, 91% isopropyl

UTTG. I've used both, but UTTG lasted much longer for me on exteriors. I use PERL exclusively on interiors.

But Check out Adams VRT for exterior trim.. i like it better than UTTG

They seem the same to me! And i use about 100 every 2-30 mos.

I also use them to clean exterior trim, works well for removing wax resiue and oxidation.

I was a little too late on this thread, but I had this same problem. A customer sprayed his headlights, rubber window trim, and various other black trim on his oxidized white Honda Van and DIDN'T...

Bump! Interested in hearing what Mike has to say!

I use a combo of a retail point of sale, and Square.

POSE - Point of sale $49/month - Keeps track of all my customers and their purchase histories, discount groups, taxes, reporting, stock &...

You cannot see your customer history on the square mobile app yet though, only from the dashboard. I hope one day they fix this so i can dump my current point of sale.

+12 Use less product. I also noticed that if the surface is warm or hot, it'll cake the product before the end of the buffing cycle.

Thx, I figured it might be like a vinyl wrap

Here's the guy on here who did that delorean to a mirrow finish
