Looks great brother...

It's become rather popular. I like hanging out on Bring a Trailer 'BAT' and many have done this and the under carriage looks phenomenal. Haven't seen an actual cost. I may send the Detail Shoppe a message that does this. They may have different levels etc... Was hoping to get alittle info here b4 checking..

Has anyone here had their under carriage cleaned by dry ice blasting? Your thoughts and approximate cost. I have a 69 corvette that I was thinking about trying it on. The closest place is about 100 miles from where I live. They only do it in the spring and fall here in my area, east Tn.. thank you for any info dan

The coated wheels Chris, they are both aluminum but the coated wheels (US MAGS) just don't pop like I think they should..

Hey guys had some US MAGS wheels made for my Six4. Upon purchasing I cleaned and coated them after having tires mounted per Adams procedure. Used Adams products and after a few road trips washed and applied a coat of Adams Ceramic wax. Have done this a couple times now. Just cant get them to pop like I want. Its just a polished lip, wheel face is powdered coated thankfully. Have some Budniks on my 33 that shine like they should, not coated btw. I also have to be real careful at a show when wiping the car down the wheels will scratch easily if I'm not careful when prepping it. Any suggestions?? Here's some pictures of them, 1st and 2nd pic is today. 3rd pic right after coating. Then the last two are of my Budniks which are going on 15 years old..I have Adams Metal polish 1 and 2 they didnt seem to help. This is whats I use on Budniks. I have a buffing wheel for my Dewalt drill seems to make them worse. Hand rubbing seems better. Doing something wrong..

Well I do have 2 large suv's. Tahoe and wifes Escalade. 64 Biscayne has large flat panels as well. Corvette's. I have my older Porter Cable with standard 6.5 that does well.. I do have a smaller backing plate for it but it's still rather large for smaller areas. Purchased a small backing plate for my Dewalt Cordless drill but when I apply any pressure it free wheels...Can't seem to get it tight enough.

For all around detailing which size polisher would you recommend? 12/15/21mm thanks dan

Do you just use the Surface prep to clean the plastic/vinyl areas then coat? Guess there will be no rainbowing on these surfaces.

He friend wanted me to coat his like new jet ski. All I have done are vehicles in the past. Is the Adam's Graphene ok to use on the plastic and rubber parts of the exterior? Any different steps to take? I Wasn't going to do the seat for fear of making it too slick and possibly difficult to hang on. Any help in these areas would be appreciated. Tks Dan

She's beautiful brother...

Hey guys have a question about possibly removing a step or two before applying GCC. My good friend brought his wife brand new 2022 Lexus ES350 with 525 miles on it over and wanted me to ceramic coat it. I did a 2 bucket wash then iron remover on it, this paint is slick!!! I don't believe it needs claying ( plastic baggy glided easily) or polishing before coating. Thought about doing the One Step pad and polish/ surface prep/GCC if a polishing step is better before coating. Would another pad and polish be better if any??? Thank you for your help in advance Dan
