RIGHT?! I'm still driving my infiniti and yet some of the guys I have already done 2-3 of their vehicles lol. (not complaining though :D)
traditional ppf would not be ideal because of clarity. This is why it took STEK years to come up with a tpu based WPF. However, it is really meant for like small rocks.. I have found it's quite a...
Thanks, Cory for the kind words. I stared at your car so much I literally dreamt about it last night :facepalm:

Guys, remember this!
The best and easiest way to remove tree sap (fresh or caked ones) is methyl hydrate. You can easily get them at Canadian Tire.
Simply dab it on a MF and wipe gently on the...
Headlight restoration kits that only sands and polish will typically last about 1 year or so before it starts to oxidise again.
Ppf or ceramic coat or UV coat it.

Rule of thumb is unless it is a tiny bubble, otherwise once water evaporates it will become an air bubble.
It's extremely hard for ppf installers to track down all bubbles unless we have the...
Hey guys, wow.. My apologies, I see some has been trying to get a hold of me and I haven't been very responsive.

Good rule of thumb is run your nail over the scratch to see if it catches in.
If it does not - a simple cut and polish with varies pad/compound polish variation will solve the problem.
If it does...

It's a new gen self healing coating. Conventional 9H/10H coatings are yesterday's technology which were good at minimizing swirls...
I think you got the answer for C from everyone. Vinyl offers ZERO chip resistance. Most places will wrap the jams.
There is color PPF. if it you are not looking at something fancy, color PPF...
A good way or rule of thumb to know if a scratch will "buff out" is by running your finger nail over it to see if it gets caught into the scratch. If it doesnt, it can be easily polished out with a...
Wipers yes too. Exoshield has an Exocare program where for $40 i believe they will ship out 4 sets of new wipers in a year. but definitely a few factors contributes to delaminating.

delamination has been a serious issue with all WPF. It does work and saves your windshield from chips but it's a pain when the hard coat of the film starts to peel. Delamination is covered under...
Opticoat Pro Plus is a 2 step, Pro and Plus.. Different syringes. Most certified guys don't apply "Pro" to ppf. It's the "Plus" that's suppose to be use for ppf.
I don't think Renbe has actually...
A couple of years ago when nanocoatings blew up, many people were using SI02 or "hard" coatings on PPF. Putting this type of coating on PPF affects the PPF (in a bad way) and also durability does...
I'm also in need of a good interior detailer...but it seems like everyone puts dressing i hate on my dashes.
Does anyone know any that does mobile? Richard or Peter both do not do mobiles...:(
Thank guys!
Alright so where do I start, so I've sold SR last year and am now doing training for PPF, Paint correction and windshield film. Things were getting a bit too crazy for me at SR, went...
Jarod is at Spys..he's good too. we use him for tint mainly at the shop
Thats the red chrome the wife wants! now I just have to save up lol.....chrome vinyl plus ppf..material cost is around $5K :cry:
Chris at Carzilla is awesome. Only thing I have found is that because he carries a million brands,its hard to get a which is better answer from him.
So i recommend during your research online as...
I'm also thinking of wrapping my wife's car in chrome red vinyl. Not many people can do chrome vinyl, also cost is high because after vinyl I have to wrap it again with ppf. I was actually thinking...
Not my shop but yep. It will be a brand new different experience. 😁
Thanks for all the support! I recently sold SR, helping a good friend start and manage a premium detailing studio. This finally allows me to focus more on speciality detailing then micromanaging. ...
I'm sorry I just saw this post. Could you kindly PM me the vehicles that I have worked on for you so I can look up more info on this? Reason being, I don't use ceramic (SI02) coating on PPF, mostly...
We may be looking for a demo car. Specifically, one that's badly swirled up and has bad orange peel. When the time comes I'll PM you :D
lol

This is what's being used as de-icer now :(
It will be on a Saturday (6-7 hours). Haven't planned out the date yet as we have been swamped lately.
Thinking after May long weekend. Send me a PM and I'll touch base once I figure out the...
I love it when I hear people wanting to learn to detail their own vehicles. :)
Clay bar is not a hassle if you use clay pad. It's fun and results are sometimes quite rewarding.
You got the...
Unfortunately matte paint cannot be polish, wetsanded or spot fix etc. This is why it may be sometime wise to wrap it.
If the scratches aren't too deep, you can ask a shop to wrap it with clear...
Ok, so hopefully this will help give everyone an idea on what is coatings.
Coatings are made up of either SI02 or SiC by the major players in the market now. Why is there such a big price...
Hi jay,
Clay bar on coatings will not induce marrings because we do not use a heavy grade when claying a coating. So why is claying important on coatings? Why and what would degrade hydrophobic?...
That explains it. Spraying OCP is quite common in UK. If it smells like bubblegum then that’s reload.
Back in the coating early days, OCP does not produce a great gloss. We often had to use...
