    washing microfiber, yes i know its been brought up...but i need details!

    I separate the paint towels from the underbody/wheel towels. I just don't want to take that chance of the potential of getting an embedded particle that may float away from the grungy set to the pristine paint set. I store my paint and underbody towels separately. In addition, I put them in...

    Target Drying Towels?

    The Vroom's... when I first bought them, they were soft. After about 4 to 6 months, I started to see some marring. I narrowed it down to the Vroom's - based on the pattern and length of the scratch. I then noticed that the once soft Vroom's turned stiffer. I bit the bullet and upgraded my...

    ONR Dillution Rates.

    It's not capfuls right? But oz... The directions on the ONR bottle state oz. not capfuls. I am pretty sure those caps are not one oz.

    MF towels

    Hmm... caution on the Vroom's. I bought a set about 6 months ago. I recently de-swirled my paint - it was about 99.5% perfect. The next wash I observed a slight scratch on the hood. From the pattern I eliminated the wash mitt and the WW drying towel. It was the damn orange Vroom. I noticed...

    Car Dusters

    But what is the alternative method to getting rid of dust in between washes? I have been using dusters as well. You have to remember they are strictly to remove dust - nothing above and beyond that. I am careful on dusting paint where brake dust, road grime congregate - behind the wheels...

    Will PC 7424/7336 be discontinued?

    Hmmm... I did a little research: " * 2004 - Black & Decker announced the purchase of the Tools Group from Pentair, Inc. (NYSE: PNR). The Tools Group, included the Porter-Cable, Delta, DeVilbiss Air Power, Oldham Saw, and FLEX businesses." I also saw the SEC filings for Black & Decker on that...

    How long do you spend detailing your car?

    I can do everything on that list excluding vacuum and interior dash work in one hour. In addition, when propping up the hood and drying, I do a quick detail on the inside engine. If you include that as part of your standard wash routine. The engine detail never takes very long. In other...
