Started 2 step yellow/white on my 15 SP with new Rupes 15 Mark ii, the rupes is working well and so smooth, little learning curve but not bad.
 
Testing out my Duetto I did a 3 step on my hood and trunk lid.
Used MF B&S with BF compound
Blue spider pads with Scholls S20 (luv)
Rupes white with Diamond polish

This is my wife`s front left side window trim. I have been battling this trim for to long. I went to the garage and was wondering what can I use to darken the trim. I have tried Megs all season dressing, runs off from rain. I tried Megs gold class trim restorer. Mothers and all failed in the rain. I have a can of Sonax pns. The can came with a black foam applicator and I began to apply. The result is in the photo. All that remains is to observe longevity and durability

Yesterday I washed my wife`s Ford Explorer. It is silver and it was very dirty. It is amazing to see how well silver hides dirt. I used a foam gun on my electric pressure washer and my Nanoskin Wash Mitt. I dried it with my Master Blaster. I thought I got everything off but today I see a few spots that I missed. I applied CarPro HydrO2 to it and some Blackfire Tire Gel to the tires. The wheels were cleaned using Griot`s Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner.

I have never detailed this car before other than doing some minor compounding and polishing to remove a scuff mark. It is a big vehicle and I`d love tips on how to properly handle foaming, washing, rinsing and drying because trying to do it all in one go seems to be too much (or I don`t work fast enough).

Tuff stuff won`t wash off in rain.
If the application of PNS does not last, I will research Tuff Stuff

If you do a comparison, I am interested in your findings

I got a chance to compare the two over the weekend however it did not photograph well and the bleeding was a bit hard to tell on the paint color. I am supposed to have a white Mercedes coming this week so that should make for a better test.
 
Just finished up my first bike last night. Wasn`t as much of a pita as I was expecting.

And the best way to finish up any detail job..........

Was able to get about 95% of defects out of the hard case saddle bags using FG400 and Essence but not as much on the rest of the paint. Smallest pads I own are B&S 4" pads so I wasn`t able to get to everything on the bike and hand polishing wasn`t all that effective. Maybe got about 50-70% defects out of the other ares. Paint was then coated with Gloss Coat and topped with Opti-Seal.
