That is my take too, over-hyped and under-performing
Maybe people more skilled than I am have different results but I have never been able to get MF pads to finish acceptably on soft paint.
Those are decent paint gauges, I own one although I haven't had it very long. I bought mine on the recommendation of a Greek detailer I know...
I think concept 2 is much better. I really dislike serif fonts in this context.
The "no glossing agents" issue is a murky one as it is my understanding that many of the commonly used surfactants also add gloss even though that...
In my experience US clays are definitely not all the same. I think you generally get what you've paid for. Some of the cheaper gray generic US...
If you get the Griots I recommend getting the 25' cord version. The Griots comes with a 6" backing plate but IMO you'd be better off primarily...
You could try one of those enzyme cleaners. I've used both BioKleen Foaming Action Bac-Out and Nature's Remedy with fairly good success but that...
Polished Bliss has a pdf on paint hardness http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pdfs/painthardness.pdf It reflects UK experience rather than...

I've used DG 501, Optimum GPS, Optimum Poli-Seal, AF Tripple and Megs D151 and some zero cut, chemical cleaning only, products. Per Porta DG501 is...
I have a few of each but to be honest I haven't used them much. I use mostly B&S pads and I tend to skip straight from their green straight to...
What are you looking for and where are you located?
Lucky man! The car looks incredible even without factoring in age and mileage. I have a sentimental attachment to the I6 BMWs, the E46 M3 and...
1Z Cockpit is my favorite so far. It doesn't really alter the surface finish which is my preference. The scent is sort of herbal/medicinal...
Did you use anything to accelerate the cure rate of the Opti-Coat? The gloss is impressive.
