I have a pearl white metallic paint, as well. I agree with @Beemer, my recommendation is strip wash, clay, polish, (remove clay and polish residue with 50/50 iso alcohol or full-strength Coating Prep), and then PS. You can add BG last to make it shine, but after it wears off in a week or two, i recommend you use HGG to maintain every 4 washes or so. Bottom line, white really responds well to PS and HGG. You should also consider the W&W. Note Revive isn't very powerful, so while you said you have some minor imperfections, if you have scratches or swirls, you'll need something stronger.

TRC and APC are two different products, as is SW. The latter two will strip any of the HGG that's on there so I'd suggest either one. As @Dan@Adams said, Revive is also an option to try, if you have it. In the end, polishing it out by machine may also be in your future if these other options don't work. Sorry you're going through this...HGG is an awesome product, but it does take a bit to figure out the right process.

Looks great, Ray! What will/have you added for protection and shine?

Have you given Wheel Cleaner a go on the rims yet?

Welcome, Andrew! Lots of VAG owners on here that I'm sure will help square you away on that hard clear.

Welcome, Jim! Beautiful car.

Great deal for someone out there! Good luck with the sale, Jake.

First, welcome! Yes, wheel coating can be used on paint, but you may notice a difference in appearance between the wheel coating and the paint coating (if you're using it). Less shine, for example. Others more experienced in coating I'm sure will chime in to offer more details.

Nope, never thought of or tried it. I think DS already serves this purpose, anyway. Quickly adds gloss and protection in a spray form. Same goes for HGG (my personal favorite and choice).

, Brandon!

I go back to the CPW product page that says it'll last up to twice as long as carnuba waxes. So, IMO, double those estimates, with lower end for dailies, higher for garage queens. Certainly willing to listen and learn from others.

Double Soft on the paint. Cheap MF on the wheels. Here's a video on the process:

Thanks, Dan, that should do it For those of us without the SK (at least not yet), anyone know if this will fit the PC? Doesn't look like it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks, Rich. To clarify, your (beautiful!) Vette is more garage queen than a daily, right? Well, except for when the granddaughter wants a ride!! ? Just trying to gauge how it does in either case.

Thanks, Dan. Thanks for the info on the screws, etc. I was saying several other things along with the picture had "2" as the quantity, likley leading to even more confusion. I actually assumed it was all one assembly with 2 lights, for example.

So what's the verdict, @ColoradoSHObro?

Nice work, Jeremy. I just picked up a can of this so looking forward to trying it on a customer's car in the near future.

@Nickfire20 has you covered. But I prefer DS on my LCD screen. I have a hard time not leaving streaks on it with the ID.

Sorry, but that seems misleading. The product page pic shows two, but the description on product page buries "800 Lumen LED Light" (no precise count listed) down in the "Includes" section, after saying it also includes 2 star washers, 2 head hex bolts, etc. That site really needs to be updated.

Haven't tried the clear bucket, but I can vouch for the grit guard. Great product.

Nice work. Love RW. Also love WW, especially the scent, and use it, too. But diluting RW is a more cost effective method for me to use on a regular basis.

Ditto, and you could very well be right that I'm wrong. I was basing it on a little logic since Patriot is said to last 1-3 months, with it being on the lower end for a daily. We'll see if someone else with direct knowledge chimes in. Maybe @Dan@Adams, @Rich,@Chris@Adams, @Kyle@Adams, @TheWolf...can any of you guys add more?

Welcome, Jeremy! Nice ride.

Nice! ? What's that red white and blue Adam's thingy by the Adam's logo sticker?!
