Man ! That guy was really happy with that tape line down the middle haha! I like the F-11 side better. Beading is not really a good thing it’s traps contaminants and could etch in the paint. You could get bad water spots on the paint. Sheathing is always better , water running right off. Just my experiences with detailing.

I do like the P and S bead maker. Goes on really easy. Apply with one cloth buff with the second. 14F95876 EC01 49C0 9AA7 0DA12B0F827C

nice what do you use on the black plastic peace that runs around the car. are those mud flaps taurus specific.

Tire foam rubbed into those outside plastics makes them black and shiny for a while, when they are dried out from gas and tar and bug remover. I use this, Meguiars polymer sealant or gold class wax, or low-shine protectant even on appliances or electronics to make them bling. I wouldn't too crazy - you don't want to be mocked for your car being covered in detailing slime like this one on eBay.

If you are serious about keeping your paint awesome, you have your choice of clay bar (pulls particles out of the paint, laborious), or getting a rotary buffer (or DA orbital if you are less dangerous), along with a polishing pad and swirl-remover grade compound. Polishing clearcoat is less important and impressive than solid paint. Just don't park by a sprinkler that irrigates it with hard water.

More important is keeping UV-resistant wax on clearcoat, so it doesn't look like every clearcoated car 20 years later.

I am stripping my ceramic coating this weekend. It has taken a beating when I daily drove the car. I am going to paint correct her again, and then going to finish her with "The Last Coat". Pan said people are getting 3 to 5 months proctection, I should get more do the simple fact my car spends 95 of its time in the garage.

I just did a full clay bar treatment on mine. Then I use a product called Black Light followed by Hot Butter Wax. The plastic trim and tires is called Natural shine and doesn't leave a greasy slick feeling. All of it was purchased from Chemical Guys website. So far I have been really happy with their products and I also use their leather cleaner and conditioner.

New to the Ceramic Coating so far I like the benefits that it offers. So far on the cons. The car now seems to collect dust like a piece of furniture when parked.

I'm a noob when it comes to detail products. I'm more of a once a week through the touchless car wash and call it a day kinda person lol.

When I do feel like getting after it, the Mothers line has always worked well for me. Used to use Chadwicks twice a week but my bottles all started molding so I stopped using them.

My Ceramic Coating is streaking and starting to fail. I think I am going to strip it and go with the The Last Coat.
Since you mentioned TLC in a previous post, I have tried it and think it works great. Easy to apply and gives a File 33 mirror like finish. The more you use it the better it gets. I have just ordered the AMP and TLC soap.
