I like this idea a lot! But...what happens if you have your eye on a particular type of "towel" (I'm a quick learner :xyxthumbs:) and it isn't the right color...:doh: I do like the idea of color coding though and going to have the wife stop putting all my rags in with other laundry. I have a...
OK, still working on the "riches" part...:work:Let me hear about your rag system you use.
Do you use designated rags for specific jobs? If you clean and reuse them do you wash them only with like rags? Do you wash them with your clothing etc? What types of rags are best for each job...certainly...
Thanks, will have to try this. I sure like the idea of it...
My last tire shine product was a gel with a foam applicator. I still have some but the designated applicator just got abused trying to spread the product around the sidewall design. The ease of the aerosol product is nice with that...
Looking for a product to remove the aerosol tire shine from the chrome clad (feaux chrome on plastic) wheels on my Ram truck. I normally wash them with a separate mitt which works fine but after I spray the tire shine on some inevitably gets on the chrome clad I've tried windex but it doesn't...
I don't know if I would consider the pad wet but definitely damp as I rinsed and squeezed before each section was done similar to what I do when waxing. I find just about anything so hard to spread otherwise. Maybe too much water left in the pad? Got it...will toss the terry cloths from now on...
No, it is kept in my garage and was also detailed in my garage. After doing some more reading I'm leaning more towards the polish being the issue and not the QD. It was a hot day even in the garage. Even though I was only doing one section at at a time it was drying very fast. I'm wondering if I...
Confirming the spots did come off after washing yesterday. Looks like the only harm was losing a little of the shine and wax from needing to wash so soon. Hoping Mike can chime in here so I don't have to repeat this result the next time I try this...
I don't think so. I would have noticed that before...
I just washed it this evening and although it was starting to get dark by the time I was done I think they came out. I'll check it over good tomorrow. The spots were consistent in size and distributed all over the vehicle from what I could...
yes, 1 section at a time. Noticeably less time than I would wait to take off wax. I was removing that section before I started another. I didn't see much coming off on the rag though but it was my first time using a designated polish so not sure what that means.
The 4th picture posted is on my hood so yea all over the vehicle. I actually noticed it first before the vehicle ever moved but the first pic that looks kind of dirty is down behind my back tire so was probably the effect from the spots hanging on to what ever I drove through. I'm more than...
Some strange looking pics because of the bright sun and the reflection and shine on the truck. Even with the spots, the shine was intense! Obviously I need some help in the photo editing dept as well...
Bump...after driving home from work today I got out and looked at the surface closely again. All those little grease spots on the paint were getting dust/road grime stuck to them. It made the surface feel 10 times worse than before I clayed the truck. i couldn't look at it another day and went...
Hi Mike...great info here! I have a 2014 Ram truck in a rare black gold pearl color...kind of a metallic root beer that changes color depending on how the light hits it. I generally take pretty good care of it. Wash it regularly by hand only and wax by hand several times per year with McGuires...
