Thanks. I just used the Sonax for the first time and maybe it is too aggressive to finish with. I used it on my Galactic Grey LX470 and had no issues but that paint is harder.

I’ll try some...

Compounded with an orange pad and used a white pad with the 04-06. I've corrected dozens of cars over the past 6-7 years and haven't ever had this issue which is why I am stumped. I polished out...

Hi all,

Been a while since I've been active on this forum but I'm back with a question that has me stumped. I'm working on my Emerald Green 1999 Miata and am polishing it in preparation for...

Thanks, I try to be as careful as possible. Took the MSF course earlier this year.



Thank you, I love the bike so far! Apparently the black frame with the blue paint and white stripes in an S...

Thanks! I am enjoying it so far and have heard they have great track potential with some minor suspension upgrades. Maybe in the future it will see some track time

Hi all,

Picked up a 2009 Suzuki SV650S a month or so ago and today was the day that it got a detail! I was lucky enough to find the bike locally. It's a 2009 with 4200 miles on it and has never...

When I had my B8.5 Audi S4 with the Nappa Leather seats, I used Optimum leather protectant and was happy with the finish it left. Matte and not slick at all.

Thanks for the clarification. Guess that answers my question! Thanks

I will be letting them know, my main concern was about the durability of CSL/EXO and the need to physically sand the paint coating to remove it.

Hi Mike,

I recently coated my Lexus LX470 with GTechniq CSL/EXO in Nov '16 and then someone backed into the truck and dented the hood. The plan is to have the damage pulled out and have the hood...

Yup I am on IH8MUD and have been an avid member since buying my truck. Heater-t's were one of the first things I did when I bought it after reading a few threads.

I used the POR metal etch. It gives the POR something to bond to. It works really well on actual rust but on my truck, since there wasn't any, I had to etch the metal to give the surface texture for...

Thank you! I've been enjoying the LX so far. I usually keep my cars for a year or two then move to something different but I plan on keeping this for a long haul and getting something sporty to keep...

Thank you! I do like the Sapphire but I'm partial to Jet Black because both my 330i ZHP and 335 coupe were jet black.


Thank you! The goof off really did work like a charm. She also loves having...

Thanks for the kind words. I was hoping that would help someone. Goof off took the paint right off. They sell a spray bottle and then they sell the good stuff in a metal can. Use the stuff in the...

Thanks! It was partly her Christmas present and partly my just wanting to detail all the family cars to keep them protected!



Thank you!



Thank you Mike. Working on it made me miss my...

Hi all,

While I was home detailing my new Lexus LX470, my mom's new car showed up. Her Audi A3 TDI was bought back by Audi so we replaced it with another diesel. This time it was a Black Sapphire...

Thank you. I like the BFG's a lot as well.



Thank you! I'm very happy with how the undercarriage came out. It will definitely pay off here in the salt belt where the salt can slowly eat cars...

Got to see how the ice reacts on the coated surface. Kind of cool!

Yeah I love these tires though! Excellent in the snow, highway, etc. Dad built that garage when we built the house. I really do miss detailing there.



Thank you! Still more to come but I'm...

Thank you!



Thanks. It was the first thing I did to the truck after driving it 1000 miles home from Atlanta, GA and realized the stock tires had 4 plugs in them!



Thanks! :xyxthumbs:

Hi all,

Been a while since I've posted because I have been working my first full time engineering job since graduating from college.

I have been going through cars fairly quickly recently and...

I have a Ryobi electric one here:

Ryobi 1700-PSI 1.2-GPM Electric Pressure Washer-RY14122 - The Home Depot

I've had it for 2 years now and had no issues. Works well for all my detailing needs....

I'll have to do an update as well. My girlfriend's subaru has been wearing it in Buffalo, NY for a year now and still holding up great. Uber is a great coating!
