Looks great!

Another one for Gtechniq CSU + EXO. My RS3 has been coated in CSU (no exo) for 5.5 years now and it is still going strong. I do recommend EXO as EXO really gives a wet glossy finish to the body work. In addition to looking glossy, EXO enhances the repellency beyond what a regular ceramic...

The first question you want to ask yourself would be "are my vinyl graphics a matte or gloss finish?" Protection wise you can use most any protectant with standard/glossy finished vinyl trim as many products pond to vinyl and paint work. If you have a matte vinyl trim you want to have...

I was thinking the same thing...PC 7424XP was my first buffer and I never had issues with stalling.

Have you ever torn it apart for maintenance? I need to replace a switch in my 8hp unit and I am rather concerned about applying more force into taking off the back plate to get to it.

What have you done so far in terms of removal? Just a standard wash?

I agree with cobracide that in the second photo it looks more like a water spot from water that dried and etched into the clear as opposed to overspray. Take a look at the video below and see the arrangement of the overspray. Removal for water spot in order of escalation: -Water spot...

There are a lot of products out there. What type of finish do you want? Do you want a one step or two step process? What immediately would come to mind for me would be Gtechniq I2 triclean for cleaning and Gtechniq C6 matte dash for protection. I2 is an all purpose cleaner that works on...

Happy to help! Let us know how it works. Cutmax is good stuff. As long as your other fundamentals are good it should do some work for you. Sent from my iPad using the svtperformance.com mobile app

I have read that one actually! I also have some of his books too, good material for those wanting to take the plunge lol.

It is always good to have good products on hand lol. That being said, I would imagine the swirl remover wouldn't do anything more than UC. I don't blame you, the scratches are still there. There is a line of removal vs living with the mark. I agree with what others have stated on starting...

Thanks for the information! I am not familiar with SPTA pads and in doing a quick search I didn’t find that much. What is interesting is that Megs UC should be able to tackle light swirls with something like an LC orange pad. With what I am seeing it leads me to believe one/both of the below...

Couple questions for the OP. You stated that you used Megs "black bottle compound with yellow and orange discs." What was the specific Megs product used? For the yellow and orange pads who made them? How often have you used this combination on your GT500? This would help give an idea to the...

Bump. Updating price to $200 for everything including shipping. Again, I am willing to customize the kit for those not wanting everything.

I feel like a broken record, buttttttt outstanding work! Also, the title name may be the best one yet.

Hello Everyone, I am ready to part ways with my Porter Cable 7424XP as part of a package. The unit has been lightly used and is a little over 3 years old. During this time it has been used for 3 paint corrections prior to a ceramic coating and for some spot fixing. The unit runs well and I am...

Great work as always! Awesome car and love the color the owner chose

The kit you sent is a nice kit, however I would buy from Detailed Image, they have 21% off through Friday so it would be a decent amount cheaper than Ebay. Better service too. Given what we know so far, the primary use is lighting to aid in paint correction/inspection. I think a Multimatch R...

Brady, do you have detailing lights? If not, do not do anything until you get them. Trust me, there's a reason why serious detailers/detailing shop use them vs. regular overhead lighting, no matter how bright they are. You probably are already set on buying them. Just wanted to emphasize...

Happy to help! Oh gothca, I thought you had started already with the product, my mistake. Has the car been repainted or is it original? If you don't know that is fine, but it will reinforce what I am about to say below. I still stand by the products and starting out as least aggressive as...

Reading what you have I would say you have tried light to moderate. I have not used Wolfgang swirl remover, but I know of it. I would say that it and Sonax PF are pretty similar polishes in the sense both are medium grade polishes. If it were me I would invest in two more stages of aggressive...

No problem, happy to help! The paint scratching easily could be due to the paint job on the car as well as many other factors. If it were me I would do a full decontamination wash including a fine claying, inspect then begin correction on buffing. Just curious, what pads, polishes and...

First off, beautiful car! Second, and more to the point, the scratches. Hard to say without seeing more, but I would say start out light and work your way up in aggression as needed. You can always work your way up in aggression in terms of pad and product to save on clear, but you can't take...

As always outstanding work Scott!

11 week update and final thoughts: Yea, the escape went a little while since its last cleaning lol. I did a standard 2 bucket wash with Shine Supply Shift. As you can tell by the photos below, I think it is time to call it. While the door panels still show signs of life, the hood is...
