    Souveran over Natty's Blue

    I recall doing this , to my shoes, before an inspection. I would take a piece of cotton T-shirt, wrap it around my middle finger and lightly dab it in the wax and dip the tip into the water in the lid of the shoe polish. container. Then, very lightly I applied the drop of water to the...

    nanoskin vs. clay

    Great product! After finally using it as directed,... :) ...it removed everything from the roof of my new Honda (especially the sun baked overspray from a minor repair.) Missed a stubborn patch, so I guess I will use some clay as I want to save my new mitt and avoid marring. May...

    nanoskin vs. clay

    I just pulled the trigger on the N/S Mitt. Going to break it in and then start on the overspray on the roof. Looking forward to it.

    nanoskin vs. clay

    I have been looking at all the reviews I can find to answer the following question: [This question may merely be intellectual armchair detailing.] Has anyone used Nanoskin until they felt they had done a thorough job and then used clay on the completed area to see if the nanoskin missed...

    How To: Detail Your Engine Like a Professional

    Thank you for the write up. Costco has aluminum pop up sheets (like a Kleenix box) so I was going to cover everything with plastic wrap and secure it with pieces of foil. I like your masking tape idea better. I am a Megs loyalist. But your writeup deserves giving the Detailer line a "thank...

    KISS Detail - Extreme Makeover - Toyota Highlander

    I am going to do the same. I haven't been online for a while and this is the first post I looked at. I really feel motivated to break out the clay/cleaner wax. The chips on the hood really make the beauty of the detail and discilpline of the owner POP!

    Windshield Wiper Arm Painting

    I have an 88 Honda and most of the powder coat is completely gone from the arms. I have been looking at a product that goes on like water, is black, self-leveling and sets up like a ceramic. Can be used as a base coat. [ It's not uv resistant.] Since it is self leveling, I figured I...

    Do automatic car washes strip protection?

    I have used a car wash maybe once or twice in the past 5 years when circumstances resulted in severe surface contamination that had been baked on during a 2 week heat wave + water restrictions. I took it to a new gas station with the latest wash technology and went with the cheapest wash to...

    MF towels in the dryer

    I guess I always assumed that it was the air spaces between the fibers that absorbed the water, wax and dirt. So I figured that those air spaces would shrink in size if the towels were over dried, like a sweater shrinks. However "air spaces" don't shrink, fibers shrink, and if the...

    How to make Meg's MF Towel stop releasing fibers ?

    And based on your opinion of me, sir, you sir are a Genius! :urtheman: Seriously speaking, am looking forward to the new thread. Any ideas on how to fix the problem of lint? If you fix it for Megs towels (which I take you feel is the worse case senerio), sure would help "each one, teach...

    How to make Meg's MF Towel stop releasing fibers ?

    It would be interesting and helpful if you took the remaining candidates, being careful to determine the best of the bunch. Which, I guess would be the one that would allow the most pressure before scratching? I was under the impression that the best towel was the one allowing removal of the...

    How to make Meg's MF Towel stop releasing fibers ?

    I always buy very plush MF's. I buy by weight not appearance. Plush MF have more raw material and can lint if not washed and fluffed dry on a "no heat" setting until there is no more lint. They lint because the manufacturers do not skimp on the weight [# of fibers] of the towel...

    water reclaimation

    Here is how a local professional detailer that I was lucky enough to watch working on several neighbors' cars handles it.....does it in a way where there's no water to reclaim by the time he leaves. Drives the car onto a blue tarp. If the cars' finish has been maintained he uses a bucket and...
