Generally, it is recommended to avoid exposing a newly coated car to water for at least 24-48 hours after application to ensure that the coating has...

Congratulations on your first ceramic coat! It's great to hear that you are now ready to take your detailing skills to the next level with a DA...

Based on your description, it sounds like you used a relatively mild polishing combination with the DA, which may not have been aggressive enough to...

There are a few factors to consider. What color is the car? Lighting is a big factor when polishing. Are the swirls on top or under the coating?

Test spot with a polishing pad and see how it does before coating it. If that does not remove it you may need to step up to a more aggressive polish...

I would probably just live with the swirls or minimize them with Essence Plus but if you cannot, I would probably go with Fixer on a polishing pad...

If possible, blowing the pad out with compressed air will clean the pads. If that doesn't work, I will use a not-too-stiff nylon brush to loosen up...

Excellent, thanks for the reply. Could you go over specifically how you clean out your pads?

I think the bare minimum on a typical car is 4 pads with 6 being preferred. On a large suv, that minimum would probably be 6 with 8 being preferred....

I'm out of ideas. I would call Sky's the Limit (the host of this Forum) and ask them.

I've tried googling that and maybe it's my search techniques but I'm surprisingly not finding much. It is a customer's car - luckily a...

Makes sense, thank you.

No, I purchased a 5" backing plate for the 21. I have a 5" backing plate on all my machines. I only have 5" pads so it makes it easy.

Did your Rupes 21 come with a 5" backing plate or did you swap the 6" backing plate that came with it for a 5" backing plate?

Delete, duplicate post.

I would have thought polishing would do the trick. Google "How to remove dried iron remover". You're not the first to let this happen, maybe...

Do you know if these are only open for full time detailers or can weekend warriors who want to move to CarPro products take them? My...

If you're interested in getting formal training on how to install CarPro products, there are a few options available: Attend a training event:...

If the mark is on the dashboard of your car near the stereo, it's possible that it could be on a plastic or vinyl surface. Here are a few suggestions...

Welcome to CarPro Forums.

Interesting, so when using regular Iron X, the Iron X Snow is still on the car and then you "clay" with with I assume some form of clay towel/mitt/...

I like the Iron X Snow Soap for a prep wash because...it helps with "dwell time" to lift contaminants. After the prep wash, I test an area with...

I notice you often use Iron X Snow Soap. Do you find the Iron X Snow Soap replaces the need for regular Iron X (or other Iron removers) to remove...
