Re: what's the last form of excercise you've done? Mountain bike 4 times a week, gym twice a week to work on upper body and additional cardio.

Here is a review I did of D114 over on MOL. I love this stuff. I prefer to use this combined with D156 Synthetic spray wax over ONR and UWW+. I also use D114 mixed at 1:128 to wash my house windows, it is very versatile. ----------------------- Since purchasing my non-metallic black...

I use 1 gallon of distilled water, $1 at my local grocery store, and the GD method. When done, I still have plenty of solution left over to refill my 32oz spray bottle which I use to presoak.

We have very hard water here in Phoenix. Add to that, it is exceptionally dry and I have a non-metallic black car, and you have a disaster. I found that i was actually swirling my car during the drying phase as you have to work so quickly, and use a bunch of pressure. I have switched to...

I have yet to find a scenario where D114 streaks in either rinseless or waterless use. As I mentioned in my review, it won't even streak on a hot hood which I have cleaned many times immediately after returning from a trip. This to me was the biggest selling point. I have also found that when...

I've been using D114 for both waterless and rinseless for a while now and I love it. Per Mike Stoops at MOL 1:256 or 1:128 for rinseless and 1:128 for waterless. 1:10 or 1:15 will be strong enough to strip the LSP. Here is a review I did between some popular products that i posted on MOL...

Have you tried a rinseless wash? I have had better luck with my Black Lexus since going rinseless mixed with distilled water. Waterspots after a traditional 2BM wash are disasterous. I feel your pain, sucks to put in all that effort for 3 weeks of perfection.

I use ONR and UWW. I like UWW better as a waterless and I really didn't notice a difference between the 2 when doing rinseless. Since ONR is cheaper per gallon, ONR will continue to handle the rinseless duties. I agree, ONR is great for windows. Keep us posted on D114, I am very interested...

I use a California Duster either daily or every other day on my black car. When used properly it will not scratch even very soft paint. It's all about technique. Shoot, I rarely ever wash my car with a 2BM. Waterless and rinseless almost exclusively, again technique. 6 months since this car...

Are these covers or new seats?

Thanks guys. I have always been fond of the IS series, both the first and second gen versions. Keep in mind the car is an 2006, it was the first year of production of the 350. I picked it up on Christmas Eve as my Acura was totaled the week before. My Acura was my first black car, and I...

This past weekend I threw a second coat of Meguiars M26 paste on my daily driver. The car has not been polished in 6 months (thin paint), but has been treated with Poorboys Black Hole before wax. I find BH does a nice job of hiding the minor imperfections and has extended my polishing...

Although Arizona has yet to put out water restrictions, they are coming. It is expected in 2016 should the current western drought continue. This is one of the many reasons I have switched primarily to rinseless and waterless washes. I only use about 1 gallon of water to wash my car when...

Glazed with Poorboys Black Hole 2 weeks ago, waxed with M26 liquid immediately after, and with M26 again today. The paint is in great shape, but hardly perfect. The glaze is holding strong. For cars like this, glazes are saviors. FYI, its a 2006 IS 350

I threw another coat of M26 paste on this morning and I just love this stuff. I find the paste spreads much easier than the liquid (I prefer to wax by hand) and I can get it much thinner. I applied to 2 panels and then removed. I did head out this morning and there was quite a bit of ghosting...
