When paint looks wet that’s a game changer. I told the dealer not to wash or touch the paint when I plopped down the deposit. They looked at me like I was crazy until I told the sales and general manager that I would bill them for my time to do paint correction.

On anotjer note, you should check out PA Palladium for chrome and metals. And for your paint, black wulfenite spray. It’s a maintenance/topper

Good move. Use the same wash water and everything else , on everything that rolls in there.
Ive spent a small fortune removing all the chrome. Had 32 pieces powder coated so no need for metal polish.
Read a lot of good things about their spray stuff. I avoid all wax products due to where I live. Attracts to much dust and everything else here. Why I went with High Gloss.

On another note, I had 22PLE on my truck for 3 1/2 years. Florida sun, rain, its what I recommend to my customers if they want a coating. Not cheap but its hard to beat the looks and durability of it

Yes sir! They have a newer one Im trying to get my hands on. FenyLab is another I want to get a hold of.
I haven't used any of the PA compounds/polishes. If I only did my own vehicles I could justify them. But with amount of vehicles I do Menzerna and some others, is hard to beat. Not the cheapest choice but the best choice for my technique and results Im looking for.

Not wanting to spend $400 plus on a buffer, pads and polishes I just use the Harley Glaze and polish it by hand. I thnk it looks good for 25 year old original paint after getting caught in the rain. I probably should have wiped it off before I took the pics though.

Windex actually lol

Menzerna is a great line straight out of Germany. Wolfgang is menzerna just rebranded and slightly tweaked to their specs.

Correct. Menzerna always performs how you expect it too. If I'm coating a vehicle I use 3D HD Polish instead. It wipes off more complete it seems before Eraser.
I have a "Big" money job possibility in the works. Hopefully that works out and I can get some of the Gloss Pads from CarPro to try out.

Corey is good people, he will guide you if needed. I haven’t used any of his floss pads yet, but soon I will
