Can't say I noticed any less build up. If it was less, it was not much less.

I pretty much hate the dust the stock pads produce. Just a matter of days until a clean wheel is covered. In an attempt to remedy the situation, at least until I get the Hawk HPS pads on, I thought I would try this new stuff from Meguiars. Applied according to directions. Sorry for the poor...

I alternate Aqua Wax with Duragloss Quick Detail. If you haven't tried the Duragloss products, you really should.

If you are going to buy this model you should find as good an example as you can. They are really not up there in value, yet. A pristine, low mileage will be someday, just not right at this minute. May be one of the most affordable presently and a good entry level vehicle. One good place to...

No undies, not enough material after cutting off elastic and sewed seams. On tee shirts, I cut off sleeves, collar, and bottom stitching so all I have is a plain sheet of cotton. I absolutely only use old towels. Also cut off any seams.

Try to find used 100% cotton. Garage sales, etc. Old tee shirts, diapers, towels. Wash them several times before using and inspect to make sure they don't have any glue, etc. that would scratch. Using your own old stuff is really the best. You know how that stuff has been treated.

That's been my experience. I know for a fact, I get swirls (micro marring) and the only thing that has touched my paint is a microfiber towel to dry or apply and remove product. And I don't buy cheap micros. Very frustrating when this happens after spending so much time to get perfect paint...

I'm old enough to remember when nothing was supposedly better for car care than a 100% soft cotton cloth. Is microfiber better or just more available?

A good QD and soft towel works the best. Spray, let soften, and then try to pick drop straight up. Don't wipe as dropping do occasionally have seeds.

I don't use waterless, never have, and probably won't since I don't think there is any way in the world to prevent some surface damage. Right now the car is pretty good on the very fine marks. Nothing even as bad in Mike's article. What I have I think was done at the dealers when the car was on...

How can a waterless car wash not introduce micro marring if the car has any dirt whatsoever? Is this to be used only on dusty cars? I seem to have a hard time not getting micro marring even with 2 bucket etc. etc.

Always bugs and improvements, i.e. 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, etc. Master came out mostly for developers to make sure their apps would work.

I'm waiting until they get the inevitable bugs out.

Wonder if Aquawax would also work.

Can't beat Duragloss 105! Factor in price and it's no contest. Wash,clay, Duragloss 601 followed by 105, wait 24 and another coat of 105. Try it see if you're not impressed. Great thing is you haven't spent a ton if you aren't.
