I would suggest to visually watch it. I always apply over a quarter of a door or something like that, then I look for the rainbow flash. Once I see the rainbow flash, I start to wipe. That's the best...
I would suggest trying Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax and skip the P21. The P21 as a carnauba wax will turn acidic overtime. Ultimate Paste Wax is probably the only non-SiO2 based protection I still...
Hey man, ya Bravo Zulu means well done, comes from the old naval flagging signals they used. Not sure why but it became "mainstream" in a lot of militaries now for well done, common wealth militaries...
Not American, Canadian here but regardless, not a day I'd ever forget. 9/11 is what prompted me to join the military when I got old enough, I was in grade school at the time and realised having lived...
Ahahahah I should've known better. Don't get me wrong, the stuff looks amazing and is a pure show car wax. Lasts about a week or so, but during that week that paint looks wetter than a lake.
At the time, believe it or not, it was Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. A friend of my girlfriends waxed his Black GTI with it, and he kept the paint pretty clean and I was like woah damn what did he do...
Does the weather get hot there? If you take it out a lot during hot sunny days, I'd steer you away from a pure Carnauba wax. Wolfgang Estate might be the best option.
Pure Carnauba becomes acidic...
If you're gonna compound, I learned over the years that Meguiars Cutting pads or the X-Cutting pads are great. As long as the compound is good quality, it doesn't necessarily matter if that makes...
I've tried out a Flex 3401 and I gotta say, I've picked up enough joint aches in the past where this machine is not for me. However, it can power through some *$&#. You can load it up with compound...
TO be honest, I find myself sometimes overworking a product at times when for example, two or three passes would've cut already but I ended up doing 5 to 6 because I started introducing more marring...
I love seeing things like this, because there is always a first step. Most people don't start off by picking up a paint thickness gauge and 3 polishers and start doing an 100% paint correction. This...
Here's what I would suggest because this is what I would do. Don't do two set passes and go. Do one pass at a time, wipe off after each with panel wipe and check results after each...
To the OP.. I get it. I've gotten to the point where I'm a bit .. jaded? I'm not sure if that's the right word. When people ask me how I get my car so "shiny", I just tell them it's work that they...
It's always about the reflection of light essentially. Wax on its own is essentially a very very thin film of oil that sits on the paint. Sealant is a very very thin layer of polymer. A coating is a...
The reason for expiration date is because Korea requires everything produced for export to have an expiration date.
I've used 3 year old Essence (I don't use it too much normally, only when I coat...
The amount you would actually cut is miniscule to be honest. As long as you don't start trying to wetsand it, you'll be alright. Or for peace of mind you can pick up a paint gauge as well.
Don't get me wrong, there's no slight taken on my side nor was that comment meant towards anything towards anyone on the forum. I should've phrased it differently, my apologies. What I meant was, it...
No don't get me wrong, Frothe is a very foaming product. But for me doing rinseless washes, the foam is great. Stronger dilution of product so it does a better job lifting dirt and contaminants off...
I would get a machine to get the maximum effect to be honest. For single stage paint after they've been old and neglected after a while, there's a lot of old dead paint on there that needs to be cut...
