    That`s one of the things i`m looking at. This test is strictly for business purposes. I am working on finishing up a budget friendly service package for those that can only afford a simple wash and wax instead of an actual Detail. I tested the D156 on my buddy`s car,which prior to me washing it, he had lost track of when was the last time it was washed; it had a pretty dry paint surface after washing and i topped it with D156 without any claying/decon just to see what i could get out of it....well unfortunately when i did a follow up wash about 3 1/2 weeks later there were no traces of it left on there. So, on a car that has not been clayed at all, not even lightly, you might not see much from it after a few days, which is understandable and i was just trying to push the limits of it.

    Bottle says 1oz does 4-5 cars
    Bottle is 8 oz
    Get your calculator out because I can`t compute all those $$$ you`re gonna make off the ~$25bottle

    Also can be used as drying ais, which would prolly lower its longevity.

    it`s so easy to use as well

    Wipe on walk away (wowa)

    Or if you apply like Ron or myself, wipe on and wipe off (wowo) What did you do detailing wise today?

    So I didn`t get any pics due to time and customer needing to get going but did a 2015 Subaru crosstrek in silver. So I used my kwazar former with 3D BDX and it wasn`t super foamy but it was foamy enough to cling and do an amazing job I think I actually used less but not sure but I used less time for sure. I also used groits garage correction crime with b&s yellow pads which did an amazing job and when I washed the car I used poor boy world bug squash which was also amazing. Then I used wg deep gloss paint sealant as lsp

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    This morning I did a headlight correction job on the Honda SUV I washed last week. It`s funny because all I had to do is mention I do headlight correction when I talked to the guy yesterday. I wonder how many jobs im missing just by not talking.




    All taped up edit: at this point I also wet sanded lol my taping jobs aren`t that sloppy




    I tried megs clear plastic cleaner. What`s strange is this stuff is specifically for jobs like this, it didn`t work well so I just hit it with 105 on maroon pad on my DA, still a HF one unfortunately.




    205, yellow pad, and sealed with Megs 2.0. The guy was really impressed and said it looks like a brand new headlight. Looks like I got another long lasting client!

    I was also impressed by my own work lol, as I haven`t done a full correction job until today. Sometimes for close friends I`ll just grab a terry towel and plast X and they`re blown away and in my head I`m thinking it could be a lot more clear if I do full correction. I didn`t expect a crystal clear full recovery because on our Camry I did this and they were still yellow....

    Was going to use some new state of the art high tech nano paint protection products (Pinnacle Souverän & Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion) on my car today.

    But it`s impossible to keep the bugs off the car in my garage.




    You blow them off - 5 seconds later - a million bugs are on the hood (in garage).

    Will wait for another day.
