Show off that REFLECTION.

Do you need specific glass clay and lube to do the windows and windshield? I'm definitely needing to do the glass and seal it. Will my mother's speed clay and quick detailer spray work? Also, what would be a good sealant for glass

 

Yes, those will work fine. The glass clay is really more about getting water spots off.

I like Jescar Powerlock on my windows. The Rain X stuff that goes in your wash reservoir works well also.

 

I use regular clay and lube on my windshield. I like to use real clay but I have used a synthetic clay pad too and it worked. I have also polished it with a polisher and compound and polish, it didn't do much as far as fixing scratches, but it did make it super clean. One day I wanna try actually glass polish on a rayon or denim pad.
I seal my glass with whatever I seal the paint with. Jason is on track with the Powerlock, it's worked the best on glass for me. I have also tried reload, beadmaker, hydro2, and optiseal (was also very very good). But powerlock was the best. If you need to buy one sealant for glass and paint i would go with powerlock or optiseal, the optiseal can be used on plastic too, not sure how powerlock does on plastic trim.
I also like stoner invisible glass wash and repel as a glass cleaner and for washer fluid

 

Sean, I use these Griots products on windshields and windows that are really bad. Also works great for shower doors.

Did one side finally recorrected the paint again. Compound plus polish. With 2 coats carpro uk. Topped with gliss i think it came out pretty good. Forgot to mention i deleted the tundra on the doors and removed the trd offroad sticker cant even tell their was anything there

 

This is the reflection after about 1,200 miles of my 1450 mile trip.

 

Thanks for the complement. The truck has some deep scratches. Didnt bother trying to wet sand might as well have the truck with some character to it and keeping most of the clear on it. The truck is a 2007 with over 160k. Their some areas i might try and wet sand lets see how i feel. Lol. Took me two days to do the right side since it sleeps in the street and doesnt fit in the garage.

 

Getting my old boat ready to sell.

 

Wow that looks amazing. You did a great job. I'm jealous man, that's my color and mine never looked that good. I really wanna do Cquartz uk on my truck. How was the application process? Did you get the 50ml bottle? I have heard goodthings about the gliss. How long between all the different coats?

 

Great work Jim!

 

Poorboys world black hole plus nattys blue wax

 

I used Cquartz on the prius first and ordered the 50 ml bottle used it for everything windshield two sets of wheels back window headlights taillight. So i ordered again 50ml becAuse i finally made the decision to ceramic the truck and give a good protection since it lives in the street and barely gets washed. The application process sometimes could get a little annoying need to find the right time to wipe off. They only provide one towel. I think it should be two. Using one smears residue if your not careful. Then you need to rewipe. The directions says to wait an hour between coats. Max 3 coats i did two. And adding gliss needs to be 4 hours after applying Cquartz. Gliss flashes pretty quick if doing cross hatch pattern just do it in one direction should give you time to wipe off without difficulties.

 

It’s a good 10 footer, but I got rid of the swirls that the selling dealer there in for free with a little elbow grease, swirl remover and some wax.


Came out OK

 

And this is today after a heavy rain the first two pictures is the coated side The last picture is the not corrected paint and uncoated side. I had to go outside to dry off the rain as soon as it spotted because i didnt know it was going to rain

 

Takes alot of time but so satisfying

 

Wow.... just wow

 

Now storms develop.... hahaha

 

Always loved that green. Now they are making army green pros....but I like the old green more better

 

She needs some new shoes

 

I haven't seen voodoo yet either. In the pics I see here....they all look fake or photoshopped to me, it's that striking of a color it looks fake. I can't wait to see one in person.
I agree with you about seeing them in person is always better. I had a 91 civic si hatchback that was black, but up close it was full of red and silver flake and looked amazing.

 

Just wrapped up a wash, clay bar, compound, polish, wax. I will take some outside shots tomorrow if I can.

 

Same thing happened to me Saturday. No rain in the forecast, got my Tundra and the Sequoia shined up nicely and waxed Saturday morning. It started pouring down a few hours later. Had to do it again last night.

 

After I washed and clayed my SR5 longbed, I used Griots Machine Polish 3 followed by Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant.

 

We’re gonna need pics of the car man.

 

It would be my pleasure. 1965 Shelby Cobra replica. Built by Superformance. 460 ci Ford Racing crate engine. 550 hp and 535 torque.

 

Beautiful!
