I'm sorry to hear about that Matt.

I'm going to guess the same grandfathers house that I drive past just about every weekday.

Here are the links:

GTechniq EXO v2

GTechniq Panel Wipe Note, this is NOT an IPA or Eraser replacement. This should ONLY be used before coatings. It's too strong to use on a regular basis.

Sonax Polymer Net Shield

I hope he is ok. He will be in my thoughts.

When you detailed your engine, did you use any trim products after using the APC? And what dilution for the APC.

Did your Camaro have orange peel at all when you got it? And if so did you remove it?

Also sorry to hear about your grandfather. Coincidentally my closest friend's grandfather just passed two days ago from a stroke.

I haven't used them yet, but I will end up using UTTG+ for rubber and plastic and probably Reload on the paints. Idk, I'll just grab a sealant and go with it for painted parts.

Yes that's the one. That's for your concern. He's actually Ok. Fortunately the doctors were wrong and the issue turned out to be much more minor than initially thought. Should be good as new in a few weeks.

Thanks. It sounds like he will be just fine. We just need to keep an eye on infection as with any surgery That's always a risk.

Damn Matt! Looks amazing! Makes me want to run outside and completely detail mine so my CGM can stack up.

Btw, your front bumper looks immaculate. I always put off a full detail because when I do my bumper it just hurts to see all the damage rock chips have caused

Glad your grandfather is okay bud!

doing my first detail job as well. I just did the FG400 with an orange lake country flat pad, I'd say I did about 90% correction. I have a ton of product dust, and the microfiber just seems to push it around, its like static cling to the car. I am going to hit it again with the SF4500, then the CG Blacklight, seal with the Menzerna Powerlock and then top it with BlackIce Midnight Sun. How do you keep the product dust down or manage it?

You're using way too much product if it's dusting. FG400 is virtually dust-less.

Thanks, I will minimize use on the sf4500 so as not to add to the problem. Your ride looks amazing by the way. This detailing is taking me days. It will take sometime before I can turn out a car that looks as shiny as yours.

It is a definite process...

I spent 7 hours Saturday morning, 2 hours Sunday, and another 4 hours on Monday detailing my girlfriends 14 Altima, and I didn't even have to do any polishing. Only took 2 hours after I finally finished for it to be covered in pollen again

Well now she owes you 13 hours of labor as well.

Looks good Matt, nice work!

Weird thread to choose for this question but blacklight works best by machine. 30 minute haze then buff off by hand.

You can apply PowerLock by machine right after. Wait 8 hours between PowerLock coats

Hey Matt I've been using Exo for a while now and love it. I have it on my ZL1 and my wife's Denali (Black) I just ordered the Sonax PNS how well does it do on top of EXO? BTW great job on your car!

Works great. One of the few products that actually maintains the crazy hydrophobic properties of Exo
