Do you have an air compressor? You could use a cheap paint spray gun from Harbor Freight to get the dressing on and then wipe it down with a microfiber. Or AG sells (or used to) a dressing applicator that hooks up to an air compressor. Could also get a Preval sprayer from Lowes/HD. Handy...

I just used Wolfgang's SiO2 Rinseless Wash on my car this past weekend, I don't find it finicky at all. The previous weekend I did a regular bucket wash on my wife's car (using Meg's Gold Class) and followed up with TW Ice Seal and Shine (trying to finish up the bottle). Had minor streaking...

I am currently "finishing" my garage also (drywall tape seams were horrible so I am doing a lot of mudding to make them somewhat disappear....). I am going with flat white Behr Scuff Defense paint. The white helps brighten the space and, so far, the scuff defense is holding true to its name...

So I did a little more research this past week. I think I might get some Solution Finish for my trim and use it on new and old trim. I figure I have dressing to keep the trim protected (saw that in one of Mike P's posts) as well as washing with an SiO2 wash or spraying a hybrid ceramic spray...

Thanks for the link, I was hoping to watch it yesterday as it seemed very timely for my situation, but it was the middle of the work day....Will probably watch tonight. So it still sounds like a dedicated trim protection product is needed even with all the new SiO2 washes, spray ceramics, etc...

So I have two questions, maybe somewhat dumb, and I think I know the answer to one already, but here goes: I got some WG SiO2 waterless wash over the winter, hoping it will save me some time and encourage me to wash my vehicles more often. I currently have a 2014 Subaru Forester and a 2019...

Turtle Wax has a relatively new Ceramic polish and protect protect as a one step, which you could then follow up/maintain with any of their ceramic sprays. Mike recently did a review of their one step product. I also recently used it on my wife's car and found it fairly easy to work with...

Subscribed. Mine are the same, but not as bad.... Not sure what the material is, almost seems like a vinyl wrap or something. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

Excellent! Did a quick search and there is actually one about a mile from my work (called Fisher Auto Parts though for some reason). Might pop down there during lunch tomorrow and see what they have in stock. Thanks! Neil Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the quick replies. Did a quick web search, doesn't look like the local HF or Napa carry Aquawax. May need to stop in the stores to be sure though. If not, I can pick up some Meg's easily enough until I get a big order together for AG. Neil Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

Went to go use some AW after washing the car this weekend and found the bottle cracked and most had leaked out. Thought I still had some of a gallon left, but must have used that up also.... For now, looking for an OTC substitute until I have a big enough order for AG to get another gallon of...

So I haven't been detailing much the past 2-3 years, other things in life have taken over and my time is fairly limited for serious detailing anymore. Anyway, I have an interest in spray on coatings (Hydro2 Lite, Gyeon Wetcoat, etc.) that are a simple spray on, hose off application. I know it...

Thanks for the replies. Since I don't get the time to polish often, I think I will go with the fine mitt, less chance of marring. I'll be using it after a full wash and iron decon, so should get the cars pretty clean. Thanks Neil

Have had the optieraser for awhile now, didn't seem to do much last time I used it a few weeks ago, still a lot of contaminants left based on the plastic baggie test. Was looking to upgrade to the nanoskin wash mitt, but not sure if fine or medium would be best. For background, just using on my...
