That's always been speculation...and has anything ever been proven? I'm more worried about how a product performs. It's kind of like the bread industry. You may never know... Go try Chemical Guys' glass cleaner and then use Adam's glass cleaner. If you do, pease report back with your findings.

I'm surprised about Adam's. I have used every glass cleaner mentioned in this thread (unless one escaped my skimming) and have come to the conclusion that's Adam's is the best by far. It doesn't work terribly well in the cold weather, so I turn to the more economical D120 for the crappy...

Why would you need a cutting polish to get rid of it? I just ordered some and will be testing this on my box truck when I purchase one in a few days. It sits outside 24/7 in all season--so it should be a good test subject. I will also test it's ease of application in less that 40 degree...

Not the guy who posted the pictures but... I bought the same one from Costco and the back says Model: PT 1880

You said '1 capful'. Here is how much 1 capful is.

Summer/fall here and the look seemed to last 1-1.5 months. Looked freshly applied for about 2-3 weeks of clean driving. Note: didn't use any heat once applied. Also, the finish is hard to judge given how we all look at tires differently, but it was a 'pretty' matte finish that added some...

Yes: love it.

No need to be so sensitive--it's just a forum, guy: I was just asking a question regarding staining issues others have. You were the first to bring it up, so I quoted you so people knew what I was referring to. (Whether you answered my question or someone else did...) That's how forums work...

I don't understand this 'permanent staining' issue people have. Are they saying that their towels/pad/mitt/sponge are stained permanently even after they are washed...? Or are they saying it stays stained throughout the wash process when using a 2BM as their rinse less routine and THEN they wash...

Its $25.95 for 250ml from a US distributor.

Currently it's this... ...and I would absolutely do a review. Thanks for the opportunity.

SMAT I see how that could be confusing based on the way I wrote it.

Ok good...as others have mentioned; Reflect has a long work time, so not working it long enough could be your issue. I also don't prime my pad like described when working with HD polishes or diminishing polishes. Try what allenk4 said earlier--lower the speed of your machine and work it...

Are you aware of the difference between M105/205 and Reflect: diminishing vs non-diminishing abrasives? Personally: I don't ever prime my pad that way with a diminishing abrasive polish. It's the same reason why I will always use a flat pad when using these types of polishes. I personally...

I can see that--most people use the term soap anyways. However, I did think the correct definition of these car wash products are shampoos....but that's not based on my own knowledge of the specific chemistry involved. I still think he is saying that 'no rinse' is safer than a traditional...

Most misunderstood aspect of chemistry - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum No Rinse vrs Conventional Soaps - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum Then what is he comparing? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like that's his comparison...

Quotes from David Ghodoussi of OPT below. I still need to test his claims: I can't see myself how pre-rinsing a car with a pressure washer and using a top notch shampoo is NOT safer than using a rinse-less wash without pre-soaking the panels. I have over 60 shampoos + rinse-less washes...

Detergent and hard water don't play well in a washing machine. Add more detergent than you normally do and add vinegar to the rinse cycle.

Optimum Car Wash is my vote....Works well in 2BM, gun and cannon. Its basically one of the cheapest per ounce that PBMG sells and works extremely well. (off by a penny or so per ounce compared to cheapest) I have a spreadsheet of every shampoo on the market + cost per ounce of every size...

1. IMO and I've proven it myself, letting a shampoo that is not of high pH dwell is pointless. Letting AF Avalanche dwell works very well, but letting Lusso Auto Bathe dwell does nothing more than just allow the suds to collapse quicker. 2. No concern here, remember that its being further...
