The knowledge that gets dropped at these is insane! Shane is amazing, but get Marquise talking interior work and you will be BLOWN away. His new recruit is definately detail oriented and while I have not seen in person a ton of his work I can say what I saw was impressive. Looking forward to seeing folks there!

Coming along great Shane! That Vette came out looking great, same with the rest of your work as always!

Looking good, certainly a nice shine on her.

Didn't you?

It has my curiosity but like most due to stock im going to end up holding off a bit but certainly watching the results.

If you want something that can put a little shine in there you can use Rinseless Wash made down to waterless it does have a little wax in it. If not enjoy the time, use some detail spray after or toss a coat of glaze on it. Show the paint some protectant lovin

I dont usually have filling results with glass sealant. If you want to solve it today I would head down to your local hardware store and try the #0000 steel wool and see if that helps or resolves it. If it does then apply sealant and move forward.

Great advice above, @shane@detailedreflections has some great experience with water spots, certainly the advice I would follow. In the Adams line I would follow this route Fine Clay Clay Revive Finishing Polish One Step Clay Mitt Correcting Polish Heavy Correcting (I might not try this one but its an option)

I would try the clay on the glass first and see if that helps, if you can feel them and they are raised try a razor blade, if they are not raised, you could always try some #0000 steel wool and see if it is just something on the glass itself. I have used rain x before and have not found it to have a filling property, but since then I am sure they have changed formulas and also offer more products. So anything is possibly esspecially if it is a polymeric product. Glass is very tough so damaging it durring any of these processes is rather difficult.

could have been, the label itself certainly changed a little bit along the way. It could also just be a newer batch and might not have discollored slightly as others there might have. I know I have a few products that have been in the sun while working and change color. Doesnt effect performance so far but I have seen that happen.

that looks great, the rubber trim is a good idea and have to see how it holds up. On a diff note I would probably personally label the top where the polishes are because its really easy to grab the wrong one when working on stuff.

In the latest water cooler vid, @Kyle@Adams showed off his recently coated tires. They were certainly dirty and cleanup looked like it was a breeze, the dream of a spray on hose off application. I will say I thought they were a bit dull myself, but he did comment on being able to dress over them as desired. Not sure of the longevity of said dressing but it is an option. Also for those of you having coating issues, he also mentions that some tires can take quite a few coats to get to a desired shine level while other manufacturers take very little.

I will agree on scent, which is nicer in the WW.

I think you know the answer you will get here, from what I understand there is no issue with Ceramic Boost on their coatings. Concentrates are great, and if you are comparing pricing of the concentrate against the straight waterless wash, price on the concentrate will win, however take a look at Rinseless, as you can use it like a concentrate to make a waterless like solution. Does a great job at cleaning cars and leaving a nice finish. As for Reload, I have heard it is a great product of theirs but that it can have a learning curve to getting a quick and easy application.

Welcome to the forums, Larz Andersons is a great place to take shots of a car! Nice shine.

I would disagree that you dont have a need or space for a full system, as most of the wood workers out there are in small shops like that and have full systems. See bellow for more. That was a great video that I actually watched a while back (Been a sub of his for years, he makes awesome stuff esspecially the big wheel). There are a ton of great woodworkers on youtube operating basically out of 2 car garages, Izzy is a bit bigger and more low budget, Kind of like a Steve Ramsey can be. I would say check out the likes of April Wilkerson before she build her huge shop, she worked out of a "shed" at one point that was probably smaller than a 2 car garage and had a full setup (link to the video on Harbor Freight dust collector modifications). Some may not like him but he has made great points on dust collection and the importance of protecting your lungs, and that would be Mark Spagnuolo. Yes he uses more expensive tools and equipment, but the points are still valid. He recently did a video comparing 3 dust collection systems (and yes one was that F brand....) you might be surprised at the results. I am definately doing box fans, as my new wood working space is rather large, and box fans are cheap, but I will also have a full setup for all my stationary tools (Including a few that will be on carts like my planer) just for ease of use. Feel free to drop a PM if you want to keep talking shop, Im more than happy to, as I am currently designing my new wood shop.

Water spots can usually be easily polished off wheels if they are just painted. Treat them just like your paint, Clay bar might help as well if you have the wheels clean.

here is a video they did on spray wax, it doesnt get into the differences, but if you know a bit about detail spray it should help a bit.

Yup, thats a thing for the color Red. Nice work on the cars.
