Yeah I'm not a fan of the super shiny black tires. A satin black is good and dust tends to not get stuck in it as badly. I'll play around with the Perl and see what works best for me.

a lot of pads there, you must be busy.
how are those yellow cutting pads? are they on par with an orange hexlogic? I have had a few jobs that I think might of gone faster if I had something rougher then an orange hex logic.
Last guy had heavy oxidation over cracked paint on a urethane wing on his car that he wanted me to take off. The paint was cracked but it still seemed pretty strong and I was actually able to work with it to an extent. The brown crust oxidation could give a fuck about orange hexlogic and CG V32 though.
btw volvo white paint.
not to go to far off subject but this guy had tried to polish the car himself and fucked, and by fucked I mean fucked the hood and trunk. That was 80% of my working time for the whole job LOL.
Damn, bigass order.... 6 grit guards???
The application of C'Quartz Finest = heavenDamn thats one hell of an order. Finest so jealous. I guess I'll just have stick with UK. I still have to do the car soon, winter is right around the corner.
I have never found the orange hex logic pads to be aggressive enough for my liking and I don't like Chemical Guys polishes at all. The yellow pads are better than the hex logic but be prepared to fight haze of some paints. It's all in how you work it of course. The new Lake Country HD Orbital pads for the Rupes are nothing short of amazing though. Work similar to the hydrotech pads but don't shred to shit in 2 passes. They are soo well built and perform is impressive but they cost more about $11-13 per pad so I only bought 5 of each to try them out. Still cost over $150!
Was the paint single stage? The additives and pigmentation in white paint make it crazy hard (like polishing a rock) and can complicate things really quick. If you come across it again try the KBM with a Megs MF cutting disc and M205. You will need compressed air to clean the pad regularly but it's an impressive technique that gets serious results on oddball cars/paints
Looks flawless....
I did a full interior detail and got a chance to use my new horsehair brush on the seats before applying Carpro PERL at 1:5. I'll be doing a second coat tonight but I love the look and the feel so far. Used a sponge applicator and let it sit for about 10-15 mins before wiping with a microfiber. One question I thought of was does PERL replace using a leather conditioner? I conditioned my seats maybe a month ago so it's not a huge issue right now, but in future applications would I want to condition after cleaning the seats, and then apply PERL over the conditioned seat?
Nice! My interior is getting the CarPro leather coating. Hmmm, kinda hard to condition something if I have protection on the surface. PERL is not really a coating so my guess is you can still condition...maybe Jonathan can chime in, he's the CarPro expert!
I was eyeing that coating too but I'm taking baby steps as I haven't experimented with the Carpro line yet...I'm sure I'll burn through that 1L pretty quick. I have a feeling I'll be ditching CG G6 Hypercoat for this and I'm nearly out of UTTG. Let us know how the Leather Coat works!
Where did yall order the Polish Angel from? Any discount code? Talk to me Goose!
