Not having seen a S650 in person yet, but I'm fairly sure the grill is gloss black on these cars? If so, you want the softest brush possible, something like the Detail Factory Ultra Soft Synthetic brushes. These are softest brushes I have found, while also being extremely durable, so you will...

Is there anything worse than tar when it comes to keeping a car clean? I remember my first attempt at removing tar on my first car..............................it didn't go well. I think the key thing with tar removal is to attend to it ASAP to prevent it fully bonding to the paint. It's also...

Rinse-less washing has never been particularly popular in Australia, probably because we don't get the winter conditions that prevent washing outdoors. I'll be honest in saying that I was late to the rinse-less party, a lot of that due to my lack of education on the method. It's taken me a bit...

I've sampled a selection of the DIY range, the only one I wasn't blown away with was the tire dressing, which is ok but not a standout. Ceramic Gloss I like to use as a drying aid after using their rinse-less wash, both work very well together. Not quite as slick and glossy as the same...

The DIY range is excellent, loving Incredible Suds and the rinse-less wash.

Florida would probably be a place where a ceramic coating would be of more benefit. In which case, I would look at either Gyeon Pure EVO or Mohs EVO. Both put a focus on ease of application and a warmer gloss level. Mohs EVO - "Q² Mohs EVO uses fluoro modified polysilazanes for the first time...

Thanks! While it won't approach a ceramic coating or even some other waxes, Gyeon Q2 Wax is one of the easiest waxes you will ever use. The unique thing about it is deodorant or lipstick style dispenser bottle............. It can be applied by hand or machine, I like to use a soft black...

You have a well-trained eye, because that is very much from a wax. :like: To be clear, I'm not anti-ceramic coating or PPF, I have a combination of waxes and ceramic coatings on my cars depending on what I need. I have ceramics on daily drivers that are subjected to all conditions, mainly...

My 2017 Mustang GT is in better condition now than the day I drove it out the showroom.......................and that's without PPF. That's from careful and meticulous regular care over the course of 7 years. So yes, I know how investments work, and what's needed to keep a car looking its best...

That was where I was going with my comments.

How long do you plan on keeping the car? If it's only a few years, skip the PPF and just get it ceramic coated. No point paying for PPF just so the next person who buys it gets un-marked paint. If you are keeping the car longer term, something you will love and cherish, then having PPF and...

Considering a ceramic coating will last years, compared to a few months for a wax, yes, it's important to get the car polished and corrected before application. But coatings are not permanent, so at the very least, you are locking the paint for 2 to 3 years. I actually had to deal with...

That's so awesome! :clap:

MotorOne are a brand aimed at the dealership industry, basically products sold by the aftercare lady. As such I have no real experience with the brand or the products.

And when the power go's out mid-summer on a regular basis because of excessive load on the network, those decision makers will be sitting in airconditioned comfort with electricity supplied by a fossil fuel powered generator. Go figure.

Me too......................

Yes and no, this is a case of cause and effect. A ceramic coating offers the most chemical resistance of any LSP (last step product), and at both ends of the pH scale. For Gyeon Pure EVO, that coating has a safe pH operating range of 2 to 11. Most car wash soaps sit at 7 to 7.5 in pH, making...

Not a coating or brand I have any experience with, although I know their coatings are well regarded. What's interesting with IGL is their involvement in industries outside of cars, offering ceramic coatings for commercial, industrial and residential applications. Think ceramic coating of house...

Pure EVO doesn't need a curing agent, but they can be helpful for a couple of reasons - 1. During the first 12 hours after application, you really need to keep the car dry, ideally parked in a garage or under cover and not driven. This allows the coating to cure properly. Using a product like...

Sooooo many paint protection options on the market these days, I could rattle off millions of products, but I'll keep it simple and list a couple of proven products to get you started. Wax - old fashioned, but it still has a place. More work to apply, but sometimes its worth the hassle. I...
