    Your Best Reflection Shot

    I used a 3” microfiber cutting pad with, I believe, Griots Fast Correcting Cream. Then followed it up with a white 3” polishing pad and Perfecting Cream. The truck was being donated and towed the next day so I was just having some fun. It actually finished down really well, which I was...

    How long does your maintenance wash take?

    Honestly, it depends. The biggest fluctuations come from what I use after the rinse to actually wash. Sometimes I use a car soap, sometimes I just follow my pressure rinse with a rinseless wash so I can skip the rinsing step (I prefer doing this, but I’m currently trying to use up a lot of...

    Are those still the same three you got from me? Lol. If so I’m glad they’re still chugging along just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Post Your Beading Shots!!!

    I would genuinely like someone to put a product that sheets on their hood next to a product that’s extremely hydrophobic and leave their car in a rainstorm. In my experience it makes no difference, and they both end up with plenty of water on the surface to cause water spots. I’ve seen plenty...

    Post Your Beading Shots!!!

    Sounds more like a downfall of ceramic coatings than traditional waxes and sealants, if you ask me. There’s also plenty of members on this forum with ceramic coatings that haven’t ever had an issue with water spots on their coatings. I’ve never had water spot issues with polymer sealants that...

    Call to Ban YouTubers

    I actually watch them pretty infrequently now as well. I’m still subscribed to a bunch of detailing channels, but I seldom ever click on the videos. Every now and then I’ll see a video that pertains to something I’ve been wondering about. I’m inclined to click on first impressions and tool...

    Call to Ban YouTubers

    A lot of online communities I’m in have a dumpster section.. sorry, I mean content creator section where people can specifically plug their videos which is away from the other sections of the forums. I don’t prefer to watch someone talk about how great every product is, because that’s not...

    Keeping cats off truck

    Truthfully, I gave up the fight a long time ago. I just have stupid little paw marks scratched into my paint from them jumping up and inevitably sliding off. My solution will be to not have cats moving forward once the ones we have “expire.” I live in an area with houses spread out enough that...

    Keeping cats off truck

    My cats also walk all over my car. Whether it’s in the garage, in the driveway, or parked on the opposite end of our property. I’ll inevitably walk out some days and see their muddy paw prints going from the trunk lid, across the roof, and sliding off the hood. I absolutely hate it, but...

    Daily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!

    You’re stronger than me. When my car sat outside all the time I got to a point where all I could muster was a once a week wash and had given up during the in between time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Daily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!

    I think it’ll for sure help. Having parked my car in the garage recently since I mostly drive my company vehicle (never thought an Altima would be my “fun car, but anyway...) it’s insane how much of a difference it makes. There’s just so much crap floating around in the air outside. You wash...

    ONRWW rinseless wash advice

    I guess in my sleepy haze last night I had the towels mixed up in my head. I was actually thinking of the edgeless 365 being my towel soulmate. To me they look like a less plush creature, which would also be appealing to me. I’d like to buy some to try/go all in replacing some of my other towels...

    ONRWW rinseless wash advice

    Funny how different experiences can be. I actually threw away the handful of eagle edgeless towels I had because I disliked them so much. The creature, to me, is almost the perfect towel. When I rinseless wash with it I use the plush sides to go over a panel. When all the sides are used up, I...

    Should I upgrade to a Flex 3401?

    Something I’ve been wondering about a forced rotation machine - do you polish with it as well? I’m very tempted to get a cordless 3401, but I’d like to be able to polish with it as well vs having to swap back to my mt300. I’d like it to be my polisher I use for everything is what I’m really...

    GG Brilliant Finish Rinseless Dilution Ratios?

    Fairly certain he was just using it as a benchmark to gauge the products concentration in its undiluted form. They’re from the same manufacturer so not the worst idea, I guess. But again, I still think it’s easiest to just fill your bucket and spray it on at whatever dilution you use it to wash...

    GG Brilliant Finish Rinseless Dilution Ratios?

    I’ve always used my rinseless products at the same dilution for a presoak as I do for washing. If there’s not an official recommendation from GG, I’d imagine you can mix it up however you’d like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    How do you like it mixed up at 4:1? I never did finish using my bottle I mixed up at 7:1, but I found after maybe 3/4 of the way through it that seemed to negatively impact a fresh layer of undiluted HCW applied to my car. Maybe a stronger mix would work a little better. Sent from my iPhone...

    Ceramic vs. Wax - Can We Cut To The Chase?

    I’d venture to say I’m in the minority of the people on this forum who hardly sees a difference between the looks of different LSPs. I don’t know if it’s just my eyes or what, but they just all look the same to me. I haven’t ever bothered to try and pick up on the nuances though, because I like...
