So after exhaustive threads, seems like Reload or Sonax Net Shield are the go products to use as toppers compatible with coatings. For those that have coatings, are you seeing real world benefits with a compatiable topper on your coatings ?

My go to towels for uber soft paint is DP Monster Fluffys. I sometime will use my drying towel (Rubbish boys double stiched) for LSP as well, since it's uber soft. When working with Soft paint, applying LSP is not the issue. Removing it, is. Oftentimes, I'll use QD as a glide agent in...

I know the Nanoskin seems to be rave these days. Yes, mechanical claying is needed at times. Just wrapped up doing a ABC wash. Gotta say, I'm always quite impressed how *sterile* the paint is after a ABC wash..

For the foam gun, I'm using Meguiars Hyper Wash currently. CG CWG is right behind it. Followup after the foam, the bucket wash is either Griots or CG CG, depending on what level of grime I'm working with. Just curious what you guys are using.

Anyone use this product. Real world review/experience. I find this product interesting in that it's something I can spray on the car.....when I need to bring it to the shop - and just pressure wash it off, to mitigate/minimize any marring that may incur

Been reading up on Opti Glass. I do like Opti Products. I used the OID and Opti Coat. For me, Opti Coat has proved that it will be a harder surface than soft paint.....I have noticed less marring, etc on soft paint with OC. Their Opti Glass is interesting but scary at the same time. To...

Do you guys feel that a product branded as a *rubber cleaner* is more SUITED for tires - aka, does it remove less of it's blooming/anti oxident, yadda, yadda agents ? I'm a stickler when using products NOT only on wheels but the runoff that might occur on the bottom tire as the product seeps...

just doing homework. what other competing products on the market that is comparable to AutoInt ETR

So I'm ordering some more bottles and sprayerheads... I was out of my 28oz bottle, so I took a 16oz staight cylinder/oval just to mix up and do what I need to do... LOL, but a reguaar sprayer head thread pitch is the same as the *cap head* on this bottle. Anyhow, it got me thinking as I...

Let's face it. Steering wheels are abused daily. Dirty hands, natural oils / sweat from the hands, etc. I just put on a new steering wheel on my DD. It looked too smooth/waxed......and I could not stand it. The new one, nice textured matte black leather is on. In the past, I used to wipe...

I'm old school . Find a product I like - I tend to stick with it.... For example, I still prefer Z16 for Tires and TAW for general degreasing... Just throwing this out there. What other citrus base cleaners are out there on the market for gentle general degreasing. Sometimes, I'll just...

Used 2X. CR Spotless.It will also come with 2 extra bags of Resin. $350. DIC 20. Location: NYC Would prefer local pickup. Shipping available.

On a 70K vehicle, one would not expect thin paint on the non exposed edges. I indeed had this on the inside of the doors, quarter panels, Back D Trunk Panels, etc. I noticed this around the 1st year or ownership and they had a local shop do some blending.... Fast forward to now. 10 year...

So I had my car in the bodyshop. They sprayed all 4 doors - which meant they removed the inner door panels to remove the handles. I just got my car back today. One window - tint is botched up. The bottom of the window - shop says old tint, it had lifted when they removed the panel. Tint was...

Couple pics of the car in the shop.... Based on you see, is it too early to tell what's getting blended and what's not. I can see the hood is fully sanded out but just some spots on the doors...

Any reason why I should not use this naptha in a foaming can to degrease a engine. I would normally use either a steamer or P21 TAW soaked for a gently engine degreasing/cleaning. For this appication, timing case was leaking oil onto the stiffening plate underneath. Stiffening plate is...

Everything looks great on my DD except for the ball hitch. Receiver has flaking paint/metal.....ball is a mix of chome and rust. I dunno. May be just pointless as the rusting might just come right back due to morning/dew/DD and and even if I spray brush/scrape/prime/paint the metal. I...

- Disclaimer... I don't fire up the compressor or use any sorta mechanical means - aka lawnblower for the 1st pass on drying.. I've used alot of towels and prior to my current favority ones, my go to towels was the Monster Fluffys. Over the last 2-3 years, I pretty much grab the...

In continuation of my other *blending panel* thread, i wanted to start a new one that might be appropriate to the CORE topic at hand. What do you look for in a Bodyshop I have 1 Bodyshop of my choice. They are easily one of the best in the regional area. The shop is immaculate, and when...

Not sure where to put this question. Bodyshop seems a bit more logical.... ----- There is a difference to wetsand on fresh paint over *oem* paint. For a pro to wetsand *blind* - no meter, not on a spot correction, but entire panels, what camp do you sit in. Is it OKAY to wetsand *blind*...
