    2009 Porsche 997 C4S Refinement Detail

    I think that I am noticing similar results as others after a few washes. There is a slight decrease in gloss. It still feels really smooth to me and after using the QD, most of the gloss and slickness returns....but not all. I have Klasse on another car for 5 months now and it still shines...

    Aquapel

    I applied Aquapel to 2 cars so far. The water beading is as good as any of the glass products I've used. Application is easy but I don't think one tube will go around all the windows of many larger vehicles, and I want at least 2 coats on the windshield. The wipers do not smear or chatter. If...

    Should Big Kahuna 2 end tonight or be extended?

    I finally got around to applying the Aquapel to my Mustang windows. A few notes: 1. I used Liquid Glass PreCleaner to remove the Zaino and Liquid Glass from all the windows. It is a very easy product to apply with a terry applicator, just like you are waxing a car. Wax on, wax off. Buffs...

    lamborghini countach

    Washed the Mustang today for the first time after BF. I used the BF Spray QD immediately after the wash. I think that the shine is the same, and the slickness is the same. I think it may actually have more slickness, but that may be from the QD. So far, so good! But this is only one wash and...

    Clear coat Vs Polishing

    I have 2 coats of BF on my Mustang after prepping it very carefully with clay, polishes etc etc. It really looks awesome. I have had the opportunity to view it under various lighting situations and until yesterday, I thought it was perfect. Yesterday however, I was out midday with the sun...

    Where's Dana / Asphalt Rocket?

    OK, I spent the last 3 days prepping, polishing, protecting the Mustang. I first did a dawn wash. Then I clayed with Pinnacle Poly Clay and the Pinnacle Clay lubricant. I did the entire car with the clay. This left a pretty messy goop all over. I took it outside and hosed the car...

    The most defect I have seen....

    I'm having two 8 foot double flourescent fixtures installed in the garage tomorrow for $340 which includes the fixtures and installation. That sounds a bit expensive, but it's only money.... I think he is getting special reflecting fixtures which give better light. I have a double halogen...

    First Detail of New Vette.....

    In support of the dragging economy, I just got some new SS appliances and they come with a SS cleaner and polish. It looks a little bit like Klasse! I was wondering if anyone has used Klasse AIO or SG on SS..... If so, what are the results? ie less fingerprints, smudges, shine...?? H

    Matte Tire Dressing Contest

    I have finally settled into using cotton Chenille mitts on the car. I have one Viking which is very plush and holds together very well. I also have two from CMA and these are larger, not quite as plush, and tends to shed especially in a washing machine! That left me with my lambs wool mitt...

    hi from R?union

    I generally wash my car, then dry. Then I use Crystal Mist as a final step. I think this increases the shine and also helps extend the life of the wax topper. I am curious though, to know if Carnauba, Zaino or Klasse (no topper) users just wash and dry, or use a Qd after the wash. H

    Man I'm stuffed!!! Eagle 20/20 comment.....

    I spent the morning washing and detailing the bimmer. Put XPEL on the headlights, though I might have to redo one of them. :mad: Anyways, I was a pretty die hard fan of Stoners for doing glass. Used crumpled newspaper and worked really well. But I picked up some Eagle 20/20 from...

    Bubble in XPEL on headlight???

    I just installed the XPEL headlight kit on my 330i. Of course the first piece is the learning curve. I seem to have a few bubbles that will not squegee out! :( I know that moisture takes a couple of weeks to go away, but will those bubbles flatten out also? All the other pieces went on...

    Bissell Spotbot?

    I just received 10 of YoSteve's MF's. :up :up :up These towels are almost but not quite as plush as the older CMA towels that I have, but definitely more plush than any of the others like Viper, Cobra etc. The thing that impressed me most was there was absolutely no lint!! They are...

    I have been looking all over the place for Prepsol and can't find any. I've tried hobby shops, arts and crafts shops and the Internet....no luck. Maybe a dry cleaning store?? H

I am getting ready to do a prep on a 4 year old car that has some medium scratches and some water etching especially on the trunk lid. I am pretty sure I know how to get...

    First Class Detailing: Inside is just as important as outside

    I just had about 10 small dings fixed, car in my driveway, by a paintless dent repair guy. It took appoximately 1.5 hours. On the rear quarter panel, he first drilled a hole in the door jamb and used different steel rods to work out the dent from the inside. For the door dings, he used a...
