    Need some advice on 2019 Mazda Machine Gray Metallic paint correction

    I don`t compound cars much anymore, the cars I have owned for the last 8 plus years were corrected via Meguiars Microfiber system back in the day. I do not not have any of the Megs MF system pads or compounds/polishes/finishing waxes anymore, and have been using Buff & Shine pads, and backing...

    I have become a detailing heretic…

    I posted a question earlier this year to see who has switched from liquid and paste to spray sealants. Since then, I played around with Griots Ceramic 3-1 and their Ceramic Speed Shine, Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Spray wax and Ceramic Detailer, Sonax Ceramic Spray Coating and Ultra Slick Ceramic...

    Griots Garage Complete Polish

    Disclaimer, I am a weekend warrior/ detailing enthusiast in my mid 50`s, so my priorities might not be the same as yours, they certainly are not the same as mine were just a short 5 years ago. I have been looking for a new polish since HD stopped making Polish+. I really liked the working...

    Spray on sealants vs. Traditional paste or liquid wx and sealants

    I seem to have hit a crossover point in life. As I am in my mid 50`s, now retired, and my wife and I have an empty nest, I want more time to travel, explore and enjoy life (yes, you can read that as less time spent detailing the cars). This combined with an abundance of newer, easier to use...

    Duragloss 111 not nearly as hyrophobic as Duragloss 105

    In late June of 2017, I cleaned the paint on my Black 2013 Ford Fusion with one coat of DG 501 mixed with 601 at the recognized 4:1 ratio, then followed upo with 2 coats of DG 105 mixes with 601 at the same 4:1 ratio. I waited about 20 hours between the 2 coats of the 105/601 combo. This...

    Question on getting rid of rotary holograms

    Hello, Purchased a used 2012 Ford Fusion in Steel Metallic Blue back in April. The car dealership used a rotary on the car at some point in time. While the paint looks mostly defect free, when you see the paint in the sunlight, you can see the "3D" hologram look. I have the following...

    Anybody else get disappointed after you detail your regularly detailed car??

    Let me start off by saying, I`m not a pro, this is my hobby. I detail the 4 cars my daughters, wife and I drive all the time. I do cars for neighbors, friends, and extended family, plus the occasional "customer car". But most of the time, it is the same 4 cars we drive. The problem really...

    Hello, I just picked up a bottle of your Liquid Polywax, and already have your One Step Sealant. two questions: 1) Will Liquid Polywax layer perfectly fine over your One Step Sealant? 2) If layered over the One Step Sealant, will it retain the same durability as it would over bare paint...

    For best durability, do I need to use Eraser after HD Polish and before 2 coats of FK1000P?

    So I machine polished the car with HD Polish and a Black B&S 5.5" pad to pretty much just clean the paint and get some gloss. I want to use FK1000P to see if I can get the same longevity as Accumulator :-). Do I need to use a product like Eraser before the FK1000P, or just go straight to it...

    Conducting a totally unfair comparison

    I am in the midst of conducting an unfair comparison to test a few theories out. I know these tests are apples to oranges, but I thought why not to see how it turns out. They are: 1) How much effect does outside daily driver vs. garage kept short trip every other day kind of driver have...

    FK 1000P over DG 105 question

    So today, I used some DG 501 mixed with DG 601 at 4 :1 ratio, followed by an initial topping of DG 105 mixed with DG 601 at 4:1 ratio.  I called DG and spoke with Bill, great guy btw who told me to wait at least an hour, or better yet, 2 hours before adding another layer of the DG 105/601...
