Gastly , where'd you get the 2000, 2500 and 3000 grit sandpaper ?
I've been hitting every hardware I bounce up between POS and Chaguanas , anything higher than 1500 scarcer than good gold

[silent_riot]

They had that same deal last year and I bought one.
Autogeek had the GG 6" polisher alone for $74.99 as well.

So I washed the car that the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant was applied to 2 weeks ago, and while there was still some measure of beading (not as well as the 2month old AG HD Wax), the slickness that was initially there is completely gone. The surface of the paint feels very dry and I am unsure if it is being protected at all. The HD Wax car still has a slight slick/smooth feel even after 2 months.

Anyone had similar experiences with the DGS?

[nemesis]

That is most likely due to the surface you applied it on. Did you prep with SRP by chance?
For most sealants you want to polish, use a cleanser with little or NO oils, and then put on the sealant and leave it for quite a long time to cure. While the Wolfgang isn't the longest lasting that I've used, it definitely lasted more than 2 weeks.

I bought some Ceriglass and (Griot's) glass polishing pads to work on the windscreen scratches, and it does work well.
See if you can bring it in and some glass polishing pads.

cinco, very nice wax & finish!

I got the ceriglass and glass pads, could you tell me exactly what you did?

I think mine is in a bad state...not very noticeable in the day but in the night it is

Yes I know my seats dirty

I think what is really worse is that horrendous steering wheel cover.
