Thanks for the response Mike. We will give it a try later this week and see what the results are. I may try a different compound/ Polish. I do like 3D. It just seems to take forever to get all the polish residue off.
Working on polishing my dads 18' Crownline runabout, and after a few years the gelcoat has gotten dull. Still plenty of shine, but there is an underlying dull haze. From mikes previous articles from the Geek, he always mentioned that Factory gelcoat is hard. I would agree, its hard stuff. Is it...
I work on a wide variety of vehicles from farm equipment to 40 foot boats. A foam cannon is a lifesaver paired with the right soap. The foam loosens the grim allowing it to be lifted of the paint easier, and as Mike mentioned the foam helps with additional lubrication.
I've use both LVP and Super Citrus APC to clean Sunbrella Boat canvas tops and convertible tops. LVP isn't marketed as a cloth top cleaner to my knowledge, but it did work fine. I've used it when there was minimal soiling.
Super Citrus APC is great, it is my go to APC. Great product that does...

I know this post is gonna get interesting as this is a loaded question. That said though, what ceramic coatings are you using, and what do you like/dislike about them?
I've used both 3D coatings on some vehicles with good success. Tend to prefer the Graphene version better as I'm a fan of water...
I use 3D Super Wheel Cleaner pretty regularly at regular, double strength. On clear coated wheels I have has zero issues. I have not tried it on anything other than OE wheels. Its a good bang for the buck wheel cleaner that you can dilute to a strength that fits your detailing style. As Mike...
Looking for product recommendations for removing the browning that occurs on tires. I currently use Meg's non acid wheel cleaner and it does ok. I've also used 3D Super Wheel Cleaner. 3D doesn't do the job for the browning, but have been very happy with its ability for wheel cleaning.

I am in the market for a cordless mini polisher. What are peoples thoughts on the 2 main mini polishers, the FLEX Pixie and the Rupes iBrid? Years back I remember Mike was saying if you could have both get both. Sadly I’m not willing to swing the cost for both.
That said if you could only have...
I've been digging into them more. It has me intrigued to try some of their stuff. Have a few maintenance detail jobs coming up. Might order some items and give them a shot.
Came across this brand while looking for leather care products at Detail Image. Does anyone have any experience with their products? Looks to be a solid company with a great variety of products for all ages and types of leather interiors. What is also intriguing is they also offer leather repair...
