Well, I just ordered the Essence and I'm gonna try topping it with the PBL.

I traded the Subaru for several reasons. The wife couldnt drive it, and I'm actually a Toyota tech so it was a headache when I needed to take her car in for service. I...

I just bought a '17 Camry XSE V6 in Midnight Black. I have a few questions...

About a year ago, I posted about my last car ('16 Subaru WRX - Crystal Black Silica). I used my PC7424, Meguiars...

I pulled it out of the garage this morning, and in the sun, I could see a lot of spots and streaks where I missed when wiping off the excess. I went over the spots with Meguiars Ultimate Detailer,...

I finished the coating a little while ago. I'm gonna leave it in the garage until tomorrow. I'll snap some pics when I get it out in the sun.

I had a hard time on the back of the car. Nothing...

I love my Nanoskin sponge. I have the blue fine grade. I've used it 3 times now. The first time I used their Glide lubricant, but I recommend using your wash bucket. The Glide lube is hard to wipe...

Some of you may remember my issues with the Blackfire Crystal Coat. I had bought the whole BF CC Kit, and the general consensus seems to be that the LC Wedge Applicators make it difficult to apply...

Yeah, from my understanding, it's easy if you apply it extremely conservatively. I don't think I've seen this mentioned, but if you could put the BFCC into a dropper, or something else, that would...

More pics...

It's too bad these get scaled down because they look fantastic on my iPad/Phone

I got the car Friday night. It was filthy. Open carrier from CO to TN with inclement weather...rain, snow, salted roads. I ran it through a local touchless wash, and it didn't do much of anything.
...

I prep'd the whole car, starting with the hood. I started coating the hood so it hat plenty of time, but it was completely clean and dry.

Temperature, I would assume was around 60 in my basement...

Brand new bottle. Ordered just a few weeks ago. The seal was opened immediately before application. I tried to follow the way Mike did in that video, but it just wasn't working out.

I just...

I'm giving up, and just applying Crystal Seal for now. I tried putting it on thinner, and wiping more quickly this morning. Still really difficult...nothing like the YouTube videos. I was going to...

It's been a long day...
I finished washing, decontaminating, and polishing my new WRX today. I figured I would knock out the coating tonight., but I was wrong.

I hit it with the BF Paint Prep,...

I know the Crystal Seal is suitable for glass and plastics, but what about the coating? Should I mask off headlights, trim, etc? I have both products, and will be detailing my new car soon.

Thanks, Andre! I saw the write-up you did. That WRX turned out great, and was definitely a contributor in my decision to go with the Crystal Coat. I really wanted some that prototype polish when I...

I hear you on the front bumper. There's a lot going on, and really the whole front clip looks like it would pose some challenges with a larger pad. My '09 xB was easy, with its large, open panels. ...

I always hate the look of film, but it would be worth my while probably. I work at a Toyota dealership. I had already planned on doing the door cups, but I can get the front done at work for around...

Yeah. Honestly, I've thought about returning the pad because I really don't see the need after using the sponge. It made the decon a breeze, and my xB was a gritty mess. I should have used IronX on...

I plan on ordering some IronX, and I have the Autoscrub fine sponge and pad for the DA. I used the sponge on my xB a few weeks ago. I wasn't brave enough to try the pad on the DA, but the sponge...

I'd really like to be able to knock it out as soon as I take delivery. I want it coated ASAP.




I understand. I work at a Toyota dealer and do pre delivery inspections frequently. I...

I have a 2016 Crystal Black Silica Subaru WRX coming in the news couple of weeks. I'm going to tell the dealer (out of state) not to bother washing it, for obvious reasons, but it's also going to be...

I'm in Clinton/Knoxville.

I used the 303 fabric guard on the micro suede I had in the S10. It was good stuff. I may have to give the protectant a shot.

I've lurked these forums for quite some time. I'm an auto tech, hobbyist, car lover, and perfectionist. I've taken the past several years off from cars and detailing while starting a family. I sold...
