I live in miami and lately have gotten a bunch of tiny rock chips on the hood of my car and a view small scratches on the bottom sides, due to highway driving. What i wanted to know is if a take it to an auto detailer will they get rid of all that stuff. i called one place and he gave me a quote for inside and out of $150 but before i could ask what that would do he had to go cuz apparently these places get swamped this time a year. So I'm asking what is is exactly these auto detailers do.

 

Detaliers generally clean, vacuum, polish and wax/protect your vehicle thoroughly. A good detailer should also be able to take out minor scratches (ones that aren't too deep).

However, detailers generally can't fix rock chips unless you provide them with the touch-up paint and some time, as it requires the paint to dry as well as some sanding. And while they know how, a lot of them probably aren't too willing to do so because of the time factor.

 

You live in Florida? Lookup "floridaowner" and his magical Pinnacle products. J/K

Do a search on this board for a paint pen. The paint pens are excellent for rock chips IMO. I am not sure if Pinnacle makes a Paint Pen or not, but I am sure that "floridaowner" would know.

Been so long since you posted, I thought you hung yourself. Damn the luck!

They have everything explained thoroughly.

 

i don't know about florida taking better care of their cars, but pinnacle makes some great products

 

I am sure Pinnacle is good stuff. It's just that a lot of members here are annoyed at Floridaowner's posts because all his posts are about Pinnacle products, his posts are like SPAM for Pinnacle.

 

He makes me not want to buy it. In fact last time I bought wax, I didn't buy it because of his posts.

 

Would somebody please this assclown already?

 

C'mon. Floridaowner's posts were hysterical. I don't want him banned, because he provides comic relief.

Pinnacle products are high quality, and the folks over at Autogeek (essentially, the Pinnacle storefront) couldn't be nicer.

 

Darth 62-- I am gonna do some work with the car tonight. Got the P21S paint cleanser. Should I use Klasse SG between the paint cleanser and the P21S caranuba wax? Thanks in advance.

 

That should work fine. It would be ideal to use Klasse AIO before SG, but the P21S paint cleanser should do a nice job of preping the finish either way. In any case, SG + P21S should be a great combo. I have that on my car right now, btw.

 

I am an Einszett whore

Einszett > Pinnacle


floridaowners is just an ass~clown troll for pinnacle, that is all.

 

now in dallas that car needs to be stylin as well. pinnacle is overpriced to be honest. their paste wax is way overpriced at around sixty bucks. the crystal mist is an excellent product esp on nighthawk black. keep the questions coming guys- i am eager and willing to help you out.

 

I know of one thing youre not eager and willing to do.....appoligize. The way I see it you still owe everyone here an appology for saying we are all "classless" and "low lifes". So how bout it? Were all waiting.....................

 

YES! Finaly made him a red bar...muhahahahah....

 

Well there you have it.... stated by Floridaowner. Thank God, now we never have to hear his sales pitch anymore...

 

I don't feel I need an apology for that. Because, frankly, I'm not a very classy person and many people do think I am a "low life."

 

Pinnacle does make some very nice products, but they do have their own drawbacks. #1, their products dont provide much protection since they dont last all that long, and require frequent applications. #2, they are pricey which makes #1 a bigger problem. The longevity isnt a big difference compared to other Carnauba's, but other carnauba's dont cost as much.

For my car I stick with the Klasse Twins, and for extra pop I top it with some P21S every now and then in the summer.

 

The combination of the Klasse Twins and S100 (aka P21S) is definitely my favorite as well. I've been experimenting with Pinnacle products lately though, as reflection of the recent Autogeek deals.

 

Four Star's Ultimate paint Protectant is Klasse Compatible, and supposedly gives the finish a Carnauba look and can be layered on interchangeabley with SG according to the guys at Autopia. Using S100 always means the layering is over, so Im defintely going to try some when it gets warmer out.

Their Gloss enhancer detail spray is also made for synthetics like Klasse giving the finish a little boost each time it is used. Its good stuff. YOu can pick it up here. http://www.premiumautocare.com/premi...re/fostul.html
