And this is my new favorite combo for blacks! Powerlock gives the clarity, Souveran gives the wet look. :dblthumb2:

Hey fellow detailers, I need to do a heavy compound on a Chevy Avalanche and don't know what kind of clear hardness to expect. Is it similar to the newer Corvettes and Mustangs (medium to hard), or if it's as soft as let's say a Honda? Thanks

Hey fellow detailers, I know that this question has been asked over and over, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer to this. Since Power Lock was released 3 months ago, has anybody observed a lack of durability? Thanks, Yan

Hey fellow detailers :bigups I'm not quite satisfied with the cut of PO106FF, but I like the way it finishes. For a 1-step polish on a dark colored car, would adding some SIP to PO106FF slightly increase the cut while still giving a nice deep finish? Or if I should stick to one single...

Hello, I was wondering what was the best layering strategy with regards to Colli 845. I really like to get the best of each product, but I'm worried that 845 contains cleaners that would prevent me from doing so. For example, would it be possible to layer: -1x Klasse SG, waiting 24 hours...

Dear fellow detailers, Please note that: 1) I'm not pretending this will improve the KB method 2) I'm not a pro This is a simple question. While testing the KB method, after the typical 3-drops + pressure step, I found that spraying a tiny bit of diluted ONR on the panel to keep working...

Hello guys, I'm preparing a GT500 tonight and did some readings. On the upper sections (hood, trunk, upper area of the doors/fenders), I see 110-120 µm. On the other hand, when going down, I see as low as 85-90 µm on some areas. My initial plan was to use the following combo on the entire...

I'm mainly detailing sports cars as a hobby and somebody asked me approximately how much I'd charge for his Chevrolet Avalanche. By experience, how much more time in % do you spend on such a big vehicle in comparison to a Mustang or Corvette?

Hi, I'm looking for the easiest, best looking and decently durable combination on dark colors. Would 845 + Souveran paste be a good combination? Would applying the Souveran take some 845 off? What about light colors? Would Collinite 845 + M16 be a good choice? Thanks. Yan

Hi. A friend of mine had a minor accident and asked me to correct his STI for free. The impact was quite bad and the door was bent. I have a flex 3401. Knowing that the Subaru paint is soft, I proceeded with the following steps: - wet sanding w/ 2000 paper - purple wool and m105 without...

Hi! Today, I gave PB Black Hole a first try to and was amazed by the hiding capabilities. One quick pass with the Flex 3401 on blue CCS pad gave results very similar to M105 on orange pad followed by P106FA. It took care of 99% of the swirls. Of course I know it's only temporary, but for a...

I buffed this aftermarket rear wing last week with my orbital Flex. I really took care of generating no heat because i knew these plastic parts could react to heat. The passes were very fast (~10-15cm per second) without any pressure. The paint was still ice cold after each step: - M105 on...

Hi guys, I'll detail a red C6 Corvette this weekend and only have 8 hours for a full job. I want durability but also want the ultimate look of the Souveran. Is there any benefit of topping 1 layer of EX-P with 1 layer of Souveran after a curing period of, let's say, 1 hour? Or if I'll fully...

Hi. :worship2: Has anyone ever tried the WOWO method using the Natty's blue/red? It makes it as easy to use as, for example, the P21S and it leaves a nice finish. I'm a bit worried about durability. Do you recommend any other procedure? Whenever I let it haze, I find it a bit too hard to take...

Hi. Let's say you have ~8 hours to fully detail a car (interior, engine, exterior). The car is a black Mustang GT 2008 so the clear hardness is medium. The polisher is a Flex 3401 DA. I don't think I can do the usual SIP/Nano in less than 8 hours, because the...
