I ran across a guy selling 7 home depot buckets for $10 on craigslist. I didn't end up needing them and he never responded, but there are deals out there if you need cheap buckets.

I don't see why you can't top either with either. They're both Carnauba-based. At the very worst, you will maybe remove some of the spray wax while applying the Collinite since it involves mechanical effort, but I suspect it's minimal and you can always re-top with the spray.

I sandwich Collinite 476 between Opti-Seal and Optimum spray wax and it looks great. The 476 just sits there and does all the heavy lifting and the OCW works as my post-wash touch up wax because it's so easy to apply.

A DA polisher with a wax application pad and the microfiber bonnet kit will make it so painless and easy you wont ever go back.

I have seen a few posts recently about getting into the nooks and crannies around emblems or other tight spots to remove the other guy's wax. A crazy idea popped into my head for a simple tool that might make this easier or more fun. Take a kids/cheap power toothbrush (pick your favorite super...

Actually if you're going to resort to abrading it, you can get some pretty soft art type erasers that will reduce your chances of damaging the headliner. The kind that comes to mind is the kneaded eraser. it molds like a tacky clay and doesn't tend to damage the surface you're abrading...

tell them to bring the car to you immediately after driving through the wash and you'll wash half and show them the difference.

Two people I know just got the paint protection on their vehicles. One Audi, one Honda. At least the Honda guy said since he got the extended warranty he got a voucher for more than the cost of the paint protection. I just nodded and said "oh, hmmm"

If only there was some special deal on this product. hmmm.

I think the first link was an accident. They were supposed to be the same non-professional product (i.e. safe for skin contact). Sounds like it's not vastly different from a non-stripping car shampoo. (disclaimer here that I'm not suggesting it is at all a replacement) But the upside here is...

cream of tartar is a mild acid (pH around 5) so it probably helps remove water spots and other nasty stuff.

Mr Megane, When you say "hand washing up liquids", it sounds like you're talking about hand soaps. I'm not sure these are the same formulation as Dawn dish washing liquid as they are probably formulated to remove dirt without stripping the oils and drying out your hands. The dish detergent...

Maybe next time consider the luxurious "hand massage" wax application.

oh crap! I got lazy and didn't clean out my foam gun (with CW&G) a few weeks back. Now I'm afraid to.
