Hi Mike, Just now I'm working on my Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe '49. Original paint with a lot of patina and thin layers on several spots. It has always been hard to keep the paint clean between waxes, especially on the spots where the paint is almost down to bare metal. Rust seems to gather...

Hi Mike, No doubt running water is number 1. I use to first rinse my cars with a hose, use a two bucket method with wash mitts and water towels - but when it comes to my classics, I prefer a waterless approach for the same reasons as you :-) I have in your videos seen you have used both...

I have watched a lot of his videos but I must have missed that. Can you please share a link to one of the videos where he demonstrates this technique? For those of you who use waterless wash products instead of quick detailers - would you still use a waterless wash sprayer as lubricant while...

Hi all, Thank you for all your replies. On my newer cars I wouldn't hesitate to do a normal car wash as I know these are 99,9% waterproof. I have never tried a rinseless wash before, but I just watched some video by Mike Phillips on youtube. Isn't a rinseless wash practically the same as a...

Good to know, thank you all for the answers. Btw, with regards to the M66: Since the Speed Glaze M80 has been discontinued, should I consider the M66 as substitution ? The M80 also had a 4/10 on the cut scale.

Hi, I always thought of Meguairs Qucik Detailer as a non abrasive product - then I found this and it has a 4/10 cut on the scale: Is the M66 Qucik Detailer the same as this one? :

Hi Mike, Thank you for your reply, I have tried to upload some better pictures (hope this will work :-) ) This picture shows the edge at the roof above the driver's door. As you cleary can see, a lot of 'rust' has gathered here through the years. Here is a picture of my right front...

... I have attached two more pictures, one a close up of one of the fenders - and the other one showing the edge near the front window. I am interested in how you would treat these areas on a car that shows signs of rust. EDIT: it is hard to see when the picuters get uploaded, will try to get...
