One more thing the Gloss Meter shows is that layering multiple products on top of each other does not make it glossier! Consistently the best gloss numbers are from stripping the finish of all waxes/sealants and applying a new product. Any given product is shinier on a freshly cleaned surface...
I have three Scangrip lights. They are awesome. They should come with a warning though! The warning would be “This light will make you crazy and work a lot longer at perfecting your car finish“ The Scangrip lights show flaws in paint you can’t see with the naked eye! It amplifies every tiny...
I was a member for the first 2 years they started. They had many local meetings and it was a lot of fun. The local meeting disappeared, no one shows up local car shows so I dropped out. All the meetings now are hours away. Not for me.
The cars get ridiculously covered with pollen every time I take them out. I washed both cars Friday. It rained Saturday, perfect time to polish both cars on such a crappy day. Didn’t take long, just a quick very light polish, about 45 minutes per car. They looked shiny when I started but a...
My friend call me today and asked if I could follow him and give him a ride back from dropping his bike off for service. When he showed up with the bike it was little dusty from sitting all winter. We gave it a quick waterless wash, polished it, a little wax and a coat of sealant. A good chance...
Just finished installing a shine on this an hour ago. 2007 Roush 427R It was already shiny to begin with, just refreshing it. A repeat customer, I’ve detailed it so many times at beginning of each season (and end) I’ve lost count.
I solved the same problem by putting one car in the back of the garage. It’s a pain in the butt to switch cars around. It’s not the most fun one can have on a nice sunny day. It’s better than leaving one out in the weather.
When measuring gloss with this meter the number spread is around 4 on average. You don’t get the same exact number as you move the meter around on the paint finish. I take multiple readings and then take the average. (Same thing with a paint depth gauge) A couple things to note. Temperature...
Moved the cars out of the garage.
Washed the garage floor with Koch Chemie Gentle Snow Foam and Green Star mixture. Worked really well. I put the floor down 9 years ago. Still happy with it.
Made sure it was dry enough to pull the cars back in.
Put the cars back in place
Hmmm! I really...
Here’s a picture of my test results of 3 different products on my friends Mercedes hood. This is after four months of sitting out in the winter. No washing maintenance, just sitting outside.
