You never got an answer, or did you post again somewhere else?

Haha, when I was typing I meant to caveat my cut/finish question with "depending on the pad and tool used", and I forgot. I knew you would add that and for good reason ... you know very well the ranges of results available through all sorts of pad, tool combos with any given polish. I was...

Yes, understood why he created a PREP waterless wash, I was asking about the difference between this new product and other PREP sprays and how this particular product was different. I understood the difference between this and other waterless washes. But you ultimately answered what I was...

We discussed this on the phone in May, regarding using a prep spray on classics. I was going to try that next time I needed a light polish and sealing on my garage queen. But it appears now, that I have a dedicated product for that (y). Without giving away secrets, can you enlighten us on how...

Congratulations Mike! I had been thinking Autoforge was going to be your last stop given your history with Nick and B McKee, so I was surprised that venture was very short lived. But a man with your experience and dedication MUST be ecstatic about where he is and what products he is working...

Mike, So where does the 14-2 150 come in for you? Don’t need it because between the PE-150 and this 14-3 150 it covers all the various speeds you need? I’ll assume it was what you used for glass before this prototype was sent to you ? Or possibly a different brand model altogether?

Mike, Looking forward to a winter class schedule …like in January 😉

Mike & Nick, Thanks for all the advice and input over the past several months. After picking up the 6" backing plate for my Supa Beast from AutoForge and the McKee's Graphene DGCS, I spent my weekend tending to a few in the stable. The Model S got a fine finishing polish with the Supa Beast...

Thanks Mike, and why I have never used one before. Thought it was a waste of time and money as the differences you point out were always obvious to me. But when I saw your old videos, I had to ask in case I was missing something. Like the "nourishing oils" are good for the paint, etc. I...

Mike, I caught your two full detailing videos from 2013 with Wolfgang and Pinnacle products. I haven't used a paintwork cleansing lotion begore as I usually just use a finish polish if needed then a paint prep wipedown before using McKee's Graphene DGCS (my new preferred sealant). It sounds...

I can tell you that a lot of damage can come from just one wash. My daughter's BMW is dark blue and I keep it looking amazing for her. Very little defects in the paint. Took it to BMW for a service and they washed it after servicing, and it came back looking like it went through an automated...

Thanks Mike. I have them in my Autoforge cart to buy with other items you suggested like the 6" flex backing plate to use with the Supa Beast, as well as the Bead It Up you recommended to me a few weeks ago. But besides them all being great products, is there any one of the three you would...

Mike, this question has nothing to do with sanding, but it is relevant to removing clear coat over time, which as you point out, everyone needs to be mindful of. In that context, for very well cared for cars where one might want to just do a very fine polishing once a year, I am looking at...

Thanks for the info Mike. Greatly appreciated

Mike, going back a bit in our discussion regarding Bead it Up: how does this hold up on wheels? I’ve used Reload in my wheels for a while and it seems to do a pretty good job but after your comments on Bead It Up, I’m wondering if it would also be a preferable choice for wheel sealant.

Interesting you say you "don't introduce running water into places that rust can form" on those cars. So waterless or rinseless primarily for washing those cars? I know you used waterless for the '67 Ferrari 275GTB, but I assume it came to you pretty clean already, or is that all you use for...

Mike, did you mean to say for a "Maintenance Wash, I use a EGO 650 ,,," in that first line? Because you then go on to say in second paragraph that "it is useless to try and blow off for a Prep Wash ........" I imagine on a ceramic coating the blowing is also kept to a minimum as it blows off...

So true. Maybe this should be a different thread since the topic is changing, but I think it is a question worth a very short response. What is your view on these detailers who are big proponents of drying the cars after wash with a leaf blower? Never sounded right to me given the lack of...

Your dust article is quite interesting and anyone who has owned a car and took care of it for any length of time, completely understands this. So this begs the question: Wouldn't these water activated sealants like McKee's Hydro Blue of Hydro Graphene (or the many others available like...

I think I am reading between the lines correctly, and know what you are referring to (y). One that gets a lot of criticism for being a dust magnet.
