Bill, I will definitely perform the baggie test to check. Where can I find info on the Valugard process? I googled it and watched a video. If I'm looking into a decon spray/soap, what do you...
That's what I was thinking as well. I may check the condition of the paint with the ziploc bag test, however, I find it redundant to clay now and clay later. However, I'll check it anyway, and if it...
Desertnate, thanks for hitting some good points. Do you think I'll need to clay if I did a clay not even 6 mos ago? Yes, protection is my agenda too esp in NE region. I don't want to clay and then...
That is what I am thinking, however, if I use a recommended Iron decon spray and any possible tar remover, will that take care of the contaminants (if there are any)? I clayed in the Summer before my...
Thanks for the input! I have some Griot's Boss Finishing Sealant. I have my Griot's Garage DA with boss backing plate and appropriate pads. Just not sure if it's necessary to polish before winter if...
Mike, thanks for your reply. What strip wash do you recommend? I have some chemical guys, but I don't think it does that well. I clayed it a few months ago and haven't driven much, do you think I'll...
Hey everyone, hope you're all remaining safe with the current events going on. I was just wondering what everyone in the colder-climates are doing for winter prep? I usually apply a sealant and apply...
Replying rather late to this but: It is all in the prep. I do a two step with fast correcting cream followed by perfecting cream. I then use the griots garage finishing sealant and top it with either...
I use the Griot's FCC and then their Perfecting cream with matching pads. If you're looking to polish whole car after spot treating some scratches you may be better off with HD speed because it's an...
About a year and a half ago, I fell in love with auto detailing. I started out detailing the truck I drove, which to this day is spotless and swirl-less thanks to you guys on here and Mike Phillips'...
Loving the Audi my friend. I currently drive an 05 yukon xl Sport Red with 187,000, looks and Runs beautifully. Also have a 99 silverado with 147,732 on the odo. Both great trucks with everlasting...
I'm looking for some input on some good cutting pads, correcting pads, polishing pads. And what are some good compounds polishes to pair them with. I know this is all opinion based,...
I clayed before winter and did one section when performing the detail but if you maintain your car you don't have to clay all the time. I used the orange pad for the polishing and Griot's recommends...
you're absolutely right, I do use an LED light to find the swirls but unfortunately I can't buy that light right now its kinda expensive for my budget :/
