845 is also much more difficult to apply than something like a butter wet product, two different animals

Polish angel is unreal!IMHO SPS Graphene spray detailer or Polish Angel High Gloss---high end but results are stunning. Pricing not for the faint-hearted----LOL

DittoYou would be surprised at the amount of contaminants on newer vehicles. Do a "baggie test", I think you'll be surprised.

Tell me more about this "Polish Angel High Gloss." Is it a one and done paint and trim product?IMHO SPS Graphene spray detailer or Polish Angel High Gloss---high end but results are stunning. Pricing not for the faint-hearted----LOL

Clay bar removes the impurities that embed themselves in your paint, rub your hand across your paint after it's been washed, feel that sandpaper texture? That's imbedded impurities and come off with a clay bar and water after washing, or do like me, and use a synthetic clay bar while it's wet after washing. Whichever one you use make sure the area stays wet or you'll scratch up your clear coat. No need to use spray detailer as prescribed on the directions either, water works just as well, is easier and cheaper.I'm probably the only one here that doesn't know this, but what does it mean to "clay" or "claying"?
I've never been real great at upkeep of my vehicles, but I need to and from some of the previous comments, I definitely need to learn more about this process before I go and damage or make things worse by trying to make them better...
Thanks for the tips and advice above and any more info to follow!
Okay then, that's what I love about the f-11, it goes on everything from paint, satin black finishes to plastic and looks fantastic and is an easy wipe on and off and then polish to shine up.Tray--I have not used it on the vinyl nor have I talked to anyone that has.

It'll feel smooth as glass when finished.
But, it's mandatory you wax it now or seal it because all the wax or sealer has been stripped off and the paint/clear coat has no protection now.
O now that is something MANY professional detailers will argue with you about, I definitely would to. The synthetics are great for certain purposes but theres other situations (and many) where nothing that's been discovered yet can beat clay. I'm not a detail my own rigs with autozone and Walmart products guy who talks like hes a pro (not at all saying you or anyone in specific is, but if you're not then you know exactly what I'm talking about lol) and if many pro detailers had to choose only synthetic or clay for everything many will be choosing clay. And I'm Not talking about guys who work for companies trying to sell there synthetic products so making stuff up and using setup videos to show fake results in fake or unfair comparisons which has plagued the internet now days since detailing has become the "cool thing."Don't waste your time with the actual clay you have to nead like dough as you go. I use one of these, this is a synthetic one you get at any Autozone type store, works just as well, a ton quicker and way easier with the same results. You do have keep water running over the area as you go no matter which one you use though.

I'm no professional either, but I get the exact same results from the synthetic vs clay. The things "supposedly" cured/fixed with the clay claim has never worked for me. The synthetic removes 100% of the impurities and makes it feel like glass, so that's good enough for me, and a lot easier to boot.O now that is something MANY professional detailers will argue with you about, I definitely would to.

I unintentionally put traditional clay on a pedestal just there so I'll take it right back off that pedestal by saying the pads like you posted are hands down way more convenient than clay, just the fact you can drop it and not have to throw it away is enough to make it way more convenient lol. That is for sure.I'm no professional either, but I get the exact same results from the synthetic vs clay. The things "supposedly" cured/fixed with the clay claim has never worked for me.

f11 get's a bad rap from the "pros" too, but all I know is the stuff works (almost) as advertised. Apply over paint, trim or whatever at the same time, buff off and viola, beautiful results that last about 3 moths if you only wash with plain water. I love that.
