I just purchased a new 2016 F-150 Platinum and I am looking for a detailer near Augusta Georgia who can apply Opti Coat or CQuartz. Do any of y'all have a shop or know of someone who can assist? FWIW I did do 2 lays of machine sealant and a layer of buttery wax for protection until I get the coating done. Thanks!

Thanks didn't think of heating it. Will have to try that. Thinking of giving it a good polish also. Any advise? I don't have the Adams metal polishing combos. Thinking of sand paper, wool with polish and then a a metal polish on a rag. Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk

Was on it when I bought the truck. Construction worker had it so I'm assuming it was something like that. Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk

Like the title says, I have some type of caulking or liquid nail type substance on my exhaust tip. It's kinda rubbery feeling but won't come off with washing or a wire brush... Any suggestions? Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk

My new rims. They need a polish bad but don't have the 4in focus pads to get down in them. I just striped washed, clayed, and waxed. Need some sealant though. Before After

I would say the wax filled in the scratches. We install this were I work and it scratches/swirls super easy. Heat will help some but not completely. Imo he needs to redo it. I tryed polishing it before and it turned into a mess. We use digi clear bra FYI. Clean it well and apply nothing to it. After all it is a protective bra that is supposed to take the beating for the paint.

This with machine sealant and the flex kit. Shine will be ridiculous

I try and do a panel with all 3 steps, then move to the next one.

Get the drill pads you will be fine. Only reason I'm going to order 4in pads for pc is because I already have the machine, other wise would order for drill. Do strip wash and clay then let it eat. I was a little timid my first time polishing but after the first panel, I caught on real quick. Edit: I started by working a section to large. Do a 1x1 or 1x2 and take your time. Work it till it satisfies you then move on. Set a large amount of time aside for polishing, especially if you have never done it before. I thought I could do it in 1 day...not lol

Order 4in pads for drill and drill attachment. Or by hand, but will take a load of elbow grease that way. Make sure you clay before polish also, at least if you have never done it before.

Used a toothbrush and IPA and it all came out Now I need some SVRT to dress the plastics, all I have is back to black. It does okay, but will streak after heavy rain or water wash out.

You know... They expect everyone to get a new ride every 2-3 years.

I had the same things the other morning!! Sound like they where chipping paint flying off lol

Of course I wash and it rains right after. Last protection was MSS and Miguries NxT 2.0 wax applied 2-3 weeks before thanksgiving.

That polished flashed super quick to me in that video, like after first pass quick

:shake: Can't wait to put it to use!
