Haven’t touched my paint in over a year aside from a few touchless washes and waterless washes. I’m looking to knock all the grime off. Are there any soaps that I should look into, I had been planning on using whatever I had left mixed with Opt PowerClean. My Windows are spotted to hell...

I picked up an 8,000 grain portable water softener and haven’t gotten around to using it yet. I hadn’t realized they were such a hassle to regenerate.

So my math wasn’t totally off! Brilliant Finish Rinseless is (6:1) my math had it at (5.36:1). Thanks!

For Rinseless Washes: Brilliant Rinseless is - 1 gal : 1 oz (128:1). Wash & Wax Rinseless is - 2.5 gal : 1 oz (320:1). These ratios suggest that W&WR is 2.5x more concetrated than BFR. For Pre-soaking: Brilliant Rinseless is - N/A Wash & Wax Rinseless is - 32.8 oz to 2.2 oz (~15:1). So...

Anyone know the dilution ratios for GG Brilliant Finish Rinseless as a pre-spray? I've been using GG Wash & Wax Rinseless (15:1) as a pre-spray (and drying aid) followed by ONR+BRS and decided to mix it up a bit and picked up Uber and GG BF Rinseless. I've got my BRS soaking in Uber but I can...

Thanks Mike. I've got a box fan going and I'll hopefully find a hair dryer. I'll reapply SG every 3-4 hrs and post what I end up with.

I have a wheel off due to a flat and I decided to coat the rim with Klasse Twins. I've read conflicting opinions on the benefits of layering SG, but lets ignore that and presume layering acrylic works. Is there a way to speed up the curing process? Fan, space heater, hair dryer? I'd like to...

Just took another look - I can’t get a better photo, but it’s got some marks on the surface but it definitely is cracked underneath.

I hadn't heard of this before, I bet the mitt scratches... I'll try and dig up a CD to test it on. I still have one! Don't know if it's ever been used though... It's a 2018 Macan former loaner (CPO'd) from CT living in SC. Apparently they have the same issues of the black trim underneath the...

Never! Unless I have too. The first photo isn’t great, but the scratches are have identical paths but are just stacked on top of each other. The separation distance matches the distance between the fibers in the mitt, so it’s not fracturing it’s just a bad photo on my part. Hard to capture it...

First touch wash in months and I scratch the hell out of my b pillars on my Macan. I was using a brand new Green Monster MF mitt, I had washed it with my other MFs before being used to break it in. I let it soak in the clean wash bucket (M707) for a bit while I foamed the body work. I’m just...

I got a can of 303 wipes and they can be a bit streaky but you only notice this after everything is dry and you see the spots you missed. Do y’all apply and then go back and check the next day, a few hours later?

Most people find the 5.5 inch pad to easiest to work with. Orange cutting pads are common to use for AIO's, White polishing pads are typically used to cars with newer paint with few defects. However, you always do a test spot with with the least abrasive pad/polish. As far as recommendations...

Mind if I hijack - Do all spray and wipe products contain polymer sealants? All the spray wax products appear to have a synthetic sealant as part of their formula.

Curious about how this ended up. Also R1S?
