  1. Armor All car shield application

    Armour all doesnt even have an actual ceramic coating. Red flag #1. They only have a spray that would last a few months tops with no prep. The spray is like $20. Huge rip off from the stealership.
  2. Dawn Dish Washing Detergent As A Strip Wash

    If Dawn was meant for cars, it would say so on the bottle. Car paint =/= dishware.
  3. Help Removing Surface Scratches By Hand

    I am not a fan of All in One polishes. I want my scratches removed, not filled. I want to put my own protection on the paint afterwards.
  4. Help Removing Surface Scratches By Hand

    Those look pretty deep to be removing by hand. Rule of thumb is if u can feel the scratch with your finger, you will not be able to fully remove them. You would have to settle for a 60%-80% removal as you do not want to burn the clear coat. I would just bite the bullet and either find a...
  5. pressure washer safety on car paint

    I use the 25 degree nozzle on my 1900 psi 1.9gpm pressure washer. No issues. Just keep a common sense distance (~2.5 ft away)
  6. Wheel cleaning

    detail factory soft brushes, Tuff shine tire brush, P&S brake buster either full strength or dilluted as per your needs.
  7. These Damn Birds...

    I would try something like Carpro TarX before a polish. Always start with the least aggressive method. If that does not work then use a finishing polish like Sonax Perfect Finish hand applied. Then move to the same polish but using a DA polisher.
  8. Is it OK to mix wax based protection/shine products with hybrid ceramic products?

    95% of waxes only last a couple months tops, especially if left outside. Ceramic sprays will last 4-6 months. Consumer grade ceramic coatings will last ~2 years
  9. Is it OK to mix wax based protection/shine products with hybrid ceramic products?

    You normally dont want to apply ceramic sprays on top of waxes. It would no properly bond to the paint. Depending on the family of products or even the individual product itself, it might allow a traditional wax on top of the ceramic spray.
  10. Leather cleaner/conditioner

    Tried the new Turtle Wax Inside Job cleaner/protectant. I like it. Its not a leather coating or anything, but wipes off clean, not slick to the touch, leaves behind some protection
  11. Trim restorer and protectant

    If you have really faded plastic, the best restorer on the market is Solution Finish. If you just want to revive a little bit and protect it long term, DLUX is probably the best for that. VRP, Carpro Perl, Last Coat CeraTrim and other dressings like those will get you 3-5 months of protection.
  12. I need new ceramic coating.

    Those are not ceramic/graphene coatings. They are spray sealants. Much different
  13. Best way to remove Ceramic Coating?

    it does much more. I can wash the car much easier and quicker. Drying is much faster. And I dont have to reapply wax every other wash. And the gloss is on the higher end compared to a sealant
  14. Tuner can't tune my cai and has given up on me.

    Technically he said "reputable remote tuner" :giggle:
  15. 9h coating then pollen dump

    Sure some claim to be "pros" yet are not. True "pros" can mot likely do a better job then you. As far as charging $1k for a coating, most of that is labor. Applying the coating is easy, it is the prep that takes the longest (mostly the polishing step). You pay for their knowledge on...
  16. Clay bar with spray polish?

    Yeah I figured. Unfortunately claying produces marring in the paint. It needs to be followed up with a polish. You cant combine those steps
  17. Clay bar with spray polish?

    Clay with a clay lubricant, compound/polish, IPA wipedown, coating/sealant/wax
