    Did a lot of flying for Nellis as a DOD contractor. Loved every minute of it!

    Re: Recommendations for oxidation remover

    The oxidation seems to be "random" patches, fairly uniform in their appearance and most noticeable in areas frequently exposed to direct sunlight.

    Yes, the climate is extremely hot and sunny. Its...

    Re: Recommendations for oxidation remover

    I applied the Fast Correcting cream with a DA and a foam cutting pad. I then topped it with Blackfire Black Ice.
    I was surprised how the oxidation returned after about a month or so. I initially...

    Recommendations for oxidation remover

    Hello guys,

    So, I've got a 2007 Cadillac DTS, black factory paint that is experiencing what I would call moderate to severe oxidation. I am looking for recommendations for products that could...

    Re: Frustrated with oxidation!!!

    Hey guys...thank you for all of your replies!!! Got a few options to think about here.

    There is no black paint on my pads (yet)! So, I think I do have some clear coat left. At this point I think...

    How could anyone use this device and not realize they would scratch and mar their car like crazy is beyond me.

    Re: Wheel barrels that aren’t worth cleaning?

    Eldorado2k,
    I think if you spent the time to thoroughly clean them, so they look like the new ones in the photo posted earlier in this thread, they would be sooooo cooool!

    Yes, it would be a...
  14. Re: Durability Test : Meguairs ultimate liquid wax

    Not too surprising really. Most (not all ) waxes yield pretty much the same results when it comes to longevity. "Sealants", in my opinion are only marginally better.
    From a technical standpoint, i'm...
  15. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    Eldorado2k, upon seeing several cars that have been coated come in with many scratches and marring (almost as if they were never coated) I couldn't help wondering if what I was seeing was isolated or...
  16. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    mmhammer, interesting viewpoint regarding durability of shine in your experience. The more I read these responses, the more skeptical I am becoming with regard to ceramic coatings. At the moment, I...
  17. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    Eldorado2k, The "significantly more" I was referring to was that ceramic coatings, when properly installed, can last for years as opposed to waxes and sealants which typically last a matter of weeks...
  18. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    rimccarty2000... I completely agree. That is what I am getting at by starting this thread topic. At first, I was unsure if it was just me or if there was a more wide-spread consensus as to the...
  19. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    Hmmmm... interesting. So many of you seem to also agree that ceramic coatings offer very little in the way of scratch resistance from typical day-to-day car operation and care.

    My point I guess...
  20. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    Thanks Guz,
    I am in complete agreement (obviously) with your assessment on the overstatement regarding scratch resistance. Its a damn shame though. Just what our industry needs is more "overhyping"...
  21. Re: Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    Thanks for your response rimccarty2000.
    It's not on my vehicle, its on vehicles coming in for routine detail services that have been ceramic coated. Like I said, I'm just not impressed with the...
  22. Anyone else less than impressed with the scratch resistance offered by ceramic coatings?

    While ceramic coatings do enhance the appearance of the paint surface and certainly offer much improved protection over conventional waxes or sealants, in my experience, they seem to offer relatively...

    How thin is too thin?

    Got a car in for paint correction. As a rule, I always measure the paint thickness on a panel (in several places) before I begin any correction work. In this case the paint measures 2.7 mils in a few...
