    Towel drying + blow drying

    Bingo. Exactly what I do with my little dryer and towels, depending on sunshine.

    RagCo Ultra Black Sponge

    I actually really like a lot of their towels too. Their Twistress is a great, not too big drying towel, and I have dozens of their other towels, which I have generally been happy with (though I agree with the implication in a prior post that the Eagles are overrated). I think lesson here is just...

    RagCo Ultra Black Sponge

    It's also not the first time I've had a problem with a RagCo product and they didn't simply take care of it... I forwarded my reply from the RagCo to AG customer service, who without any questions shipped me out a replacement UBS. Honestly, AG's customer service has always been amazing. I can...

    RagCo Ultra Black Sponge

    In case anyone is interested, I emailed the photo to the Rag Company and they said it should not look like this. This is a manufacturing defect...The grooves should be cleanly cut and consistent. They suggested I either cut it with a razor blade myself, or see whether AG will replace it for...

    RagCo Ultra Black Sponge

    Hi AG, Got my most recent AG order, in which I decided to try out the new RagCo ultra black sponge. I generally prefer to multiple towel method for rinseless washing, but have an older Big Red Sponge and use it every now and then when I don’t want to create a whole load of towels to wash. At...

    Doing a traditional wash with microfiber towels

    I use 400-500 gsm. Good amount of fluffiness without getting too heavy when soaking wet IMHO.

    Doing a traditional wash with microfiber towels

    Plenty of times, but really only if pressure wash (or really rinse) and foam first.

    Anyone tried Hybrid Solutions Pro 1 and Done?

    Hi AG, I'm looking for a new one-step product (I'm a pure hobbyist). Obviously a ton of marketing behind Hybrid Solutions, but I was intrigued by the idea of a one step that can cut to different degrees so well using different pads. Seems like it would be a great thing to have as an occasional...

    Anyone still using carnauba products?

    Thanks for the feedback! Does a typical carnuba product offer any real UV protection? Out here cars don't get wet very often, but it sits outside in the sun all day.

    Anyone still using carnauba products?

    Anyone still using carnauba products? I have a bunch of carnauba products still on my shelf, and I was wondering whether anyone still uses these routinely as their primary protection (or maybe on top of a non-ceramic sealant)? Seems like all the hype is on ceramics and graphene (which I get...

    First wash of my new car (C8 Vette)!

    Thanks Mike! Yes on the last point...Even on my first wash my routine was somewhat thrown off by all the planes, angles, etc. My '13 Camaro is a much simpler body design, and was very used to that. Thanks! Yes that fence is from my neighbor who is now doing construction...it is a scary...

    First wash of my new car (C8 Vette)!

    After 13 months of waiting my 2020 Corvette arrived! Convertible, in shadow grey metallic paint. Paint was in nice shape coming from the dealer. So far all I did was a maintenance rinseless wash with my go-to Uber rinseless, and topped with a quick layer of Bead Maker to have some protection...

    Review: Wolfgang Uber SiO2 Rinseless Wash

    Thanks for the review Mike! Tried this out today and was happy with the results. Felt a bit more slick than the regular Uber Rinseless (my current go-to rinseless), and left a nice shine. I did find it a bit streaky in some spots (which seems to happen with SiO2 products), but that’s on my dark...

    Using D/A to Rotary Adapter

    Thanks! Will let you know!

    Using D/A to Rotary Adapter

    Thanks. That all makes good sense. I frankly don't anticipate using these small pads for more than an odd job once or twice a year, so didn't want to buy a small polisher for such limited use. Will probably just try these on an adapter with very low speed and pressure. I have a PC and also a...
