    Re: car pro lite applicatio

    You def have enough towels, and you should be able to get by with that type. I agree with BSoares on using shorter nap towels for leveling/removing coatings, so if they have a short nap side use...

    Re: Genesis G70 Looking Sharper than any German Car

    Quality work as usual!! Big fan of the G70 here too, still don't see many on the road so it has a presence when you run across one, and I agree, pics don't quite do it justice. I especially like it...
  5. Re: Which topper over CSL + EXO is best at avoiding water spots?

    If I remember correctly, I don't think Gtechniq recommends topping EXO with C2, EXO is said to leave the surface "slicker" than C2, if you top it with C2 your paint surface will take the...
  6. Re: GTechniq CSL + C2V3 vs CSL + EXO + C2V3 - EXO worth it?

    Don't think anyone else mentioned it but....for future use (if you are pleased with your results for your decon wash and initial application of C2V3) you could dilute your C2V3 1:1 with distilled...

    Re: beginner question regarding pads

    You could introduce some very light marring, but being that the car is white I doubt you would notice......though if you haven't used MF before you may want to do some testing/playing when you aren't...

    Re: beginner question regarding pads

    I agree with those saying you might need to get more aggressive, though it kinda. depends on the color of white....BMW paints in general are a bit on the hard side...but there's a difference. Alpine...

    Re: Toyota Supra

    I don't mind Toyota wanting to keep tradition with the inline-6, my gripe (though it's a mild one) is the reliability aspect. As an owner of a n54 335i I know first hand how "finicki" BMW power...

    Re: Not your average coating recommendation

    I'd second the recommendation from Guz, Gloss Coat would probably be fine as its so easy to apply but as he said its not really a step up in terms of durability, CSL or CSL + EXO is a good choice for...
  13. Re: Optimum process: hyper compound, hyper polish, ONR, and straight to gloss coat???

    For Gloss Coat you will need an IPA/prep wipe prior to application, now if you weren't going to coat the car you could follow Hyper Polish with an ONR wipe then straight to Optimum Car Wax or...

    Re: CSL cure time and C2v3/EXO application

    Nope, GTechniq recommends topping with EXO within 24 hours....then you will have a curing window for the EXO, I believe it was 12 hours

    Re: CSL cure time and C2v3/EXO application

    GTechniq says you can apply EXOv3 straight away after applying CSL by going back to the first panel you applied CSL to however, in my experience I like wait about an hour before applying EXO, with...

    Re: Ready to upgrade to real pro polisher

    Because of the the smaller smaller throw the 15 is slightly more versatile, its still a long throw machine and it can get into smaller spaces better than the 21. With the 5" plate you will be using...
