  1. Re: Suggestions? Most durable paint sealant, that’s easy on-off?

    Thanks everyone, for the awesome info! This really saved me a lot of time in digging through the status quo of the product market these days.

    This guy’s head to head comparison was awesome- I...
  2. Suggestions? Most durable paint sealant, that’s easy on-off?

    Hi All,

    I’ve been away from the detailing scene for a while, and was hoping to ask you guys for some product pointers.

    What’s a good sealant that balances longevity and chemical resistance...

    Griot's Garage DA vibration too much, now what?

    Hey all,

    So, I invested in a true workhorse DA, the GG 6" DA back in November, and just had a chance to use it on paint for the first time a few days ago. I'm super impressed with its power! I've...

    Re: Coatings Pros and Cons

    Zubair, I know how you feel. The coating process made me re evaluate the entire field of detailing.

    Coatings are definitely worth the effort if you're not going to be able to pamper your car every...
  5. Re: Just like a newborn...I'm crying out loud...newbie!

    Congrats on the great choice of products, and for taking the time to pamper your '03 Accord! I think you'll be amazed at the transformation Meg's Ultimate line can perform for you.

    Although I'm...
  6. Re: Question: Best DA pads for machine application of PBL SCP

    It seems like nobody makes trucks like they used to. That's good stuff.

    A 428 should be stupid powerful... plus it'll sound great. I'm sure you'll get plenty more ideas at SEMA!

    I miss having a...

    Awesome, thanks for the guidance Mike!

    Also, love your truck from the Corvette post... that's a serious lift and tire combo! :xyxthumbs:
  8. Question: Best DA pads for machine application of PBL SCP

    Hey all,

    I'll be investing in some new pads (6" and 3 to 4") for a 6" Griot's DA, and was curious what combination (color/type of pad, and speed) and method most people have used for Pinnacle...
  9. Re: Help!!! Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish not removing, clumping

    Thanks for the offer Tim! And sorry about the confusing posts... I was pretty tired and frustrated when I wrote these.

    To answer some of your questions:
    I ended up using Meg's UP all around, and...
  10. Re: Flex 3401 Detailing Classes - Show Car Detailing and Production Detailing

    Looks awesome, wish I lived in FL! Would have loved to learn more about the FLEX 3401.
  11. Re: FLEX Announcement for SEMA - Can You Guess What it is?

    If I'm not mistaken, this is for FLEX USA marketing, not the worldwide firm. Companies name the same product differently all the time in different countries.

    Yes, I agree, the Germans have a...
  12. Re: FLEX Announcement for SEMA - Can You Guess What it is?

    Great ideas here and on Flex's part as well! I was just about to order a FLEX, and wished it had the ability to adapt down to 3" pads... so a micro flex polisher that's forced DA would be amazing.

  13. Re: Review: Newbie's Perspective on Pinnacle Black Label DSC

    Thanks!!! It only felt right writing a detailed review after not seeing much out there from the enthusiast's perspective when first researching it.

    I'm starting to love this color too, especially...

    Re: Plastx left super-fine swirls... now what?

    Thanks!

    Guess I just forgot just how much of a difference machines make in the end.

    If you want, head over to this new thread I posted to see the finished product and the entire car:

  15. Review: Newbie's Perspective on Pinnacle Black Label DSC

    Coatings for the masses... years ago it would have sounded something like an oxymoron, but perhaps the day we see semi-permanent coatings popping up on Wal-Mart store shelves is closer than we think....

    Re: Plastx left super-fine swirls... now what?

    Hello again!

    It's been a bit since I first started this topic, and since then, was able to significantly reduce the severity/depth of the abrasive scratching by machine polishing with PlastX (mind...

    Plastx left super-fine swirls... now what?

    So, I went to polish some minor scratching out of the headlights and tail-lamps on a fairly new Accord with Plastx before coating with PBL DSC, and noticed that I had traded the light scratches for...
  19. Re: Question: Safely removing adhesive residue, before coating

    Good deal, I think MS might be a viable and quick-er route than steam cleaning, at least for the paint. I may still steam clean crevices, where adhesive gunk has gotten balled up, fallen in, and...
  20. Re: Question: Safely removing adhesive residue, before coating

    I love the commentary, LOL!

    As far as the mineral spirits goes, I'm a bit hesitant... Don't want to screw up anything if I accidentially lose focus, and hit some trim/plastic/molding without...
  21. Re: Question: Safely removing adhesive residue, before coating

    Genius! I'm gonna break out the old Scucci... Let's hope it still works after 4 years of sitting in the closet! Might get some de-scaler first...

    And yes, it's evil stuff. I'm sicking with 3m from...
  22. Question: Safely removing adhesive residue, before coating

    Hey All,

    So, I've slowly been working on decontaminating, compounding and polishing my 2014 Accord for the past week, and have finally gotten to the point of surface prep for PBL DSC application!...

    Too cool! Cree is the best LED designer in the world, hands down. Not to mention, it's an NC company! I knew two grad students at Appalachian who applied there and loved the experience... not sure if...

    Wow! Gorgeous results! I hope I can eventually get to something similar, but it won't be nearly as awesome as with that nice black color.
