    Would you use these towels again?

    I'd recommend _not_ washing MF towels in hot water. While some will claim this water is not hot enough to affect MF, I would disagree. If nothing else, it will slowly deteriorate the towel. Modern detergent is made to work just as well in room temp and cold water. Anything that does not come off...

    Cilajet???

    You are better off taking care of the paint and keeping a good sealant on it. Or correcting the paint, putting a ceramic coating on and then taking care of it.

    Cutting down MF pads

    AG did ship my pads yesterday so that is good. I might still order some larger pads and cut them down. I'm wondering if I might be able to find some circular metal device that would work as a punch in order to punch out some smaller pads. During one of my daily trips to the home improvement...

    Cutting down MF pads

    Anyone have experience with cutting out or punching out larger pads to make smaller ones? mainly I'm looking at microfiber pads. I know there is a punch that is sold to do this but I recently ordered some MF pads that were too big for my polisher. I cut them down an inch with scissors and after...

    Customer not wanting a full exterior detail even if needed?

    AIO is "All In One" and refers to cleaner/polish/waxes, not washes. They usually contain some limited chemicals that remove mild contamination.

    Defelsco dry mil gauge

    I bought my Highline for $120. Hard to go wrong at that price.

    Call to Ban YouTubers

    According to the FCC (I think that is correct) a person needs to be clear when they are promoting a product and getting paid for that promotion. Certainly larger Youtubers will be sure to comply as they risk having their channel shut down.

    What are some common myths and misconceptions about car detailing?

    That it is easy. I don't do it for money but I've worked on a ton of vehicle's. When people hear how much it costs to have a car detailed they usually think it is a lot of money (it is). But then I explain that the fastest you'd be able to work a panel is about 30 minutes and there are at least...

    Call to Ban YouTubers

    I don't disagree with many of the poss here but I also do not see the harm in allowing people to post their YT videos. They are on topic but I simply don't see how they harm anyone.

    How to avoid germs - Gas Station

    Odd, I'd like to see some information to show it was the masks that prevented the spread. The masks you see people wear trap about 2% of someone's breath. Also, Utah recently mandated masks in public places and the number of infections are actually still going up. If mask prevent the spread, why...

    Brand New Car, want a ceramic coating on it (I think). Which one?

    I'd strongly recommend not using a rubberized undercoating product. As they deteriorate, they trap water against the metal. There are better products that are oil based.

    Brand New Car, want a ceramic coating on it (I think). Which one?

    I suspect you misunderstand what ceramic coating does. It will _not_ protect from stone chips or rust. If you want to protect against stone chips, you'd need protective film, not a coating. Also, ceramic coating will mar and scratch just like paint. It will also require washing and care...

    Best footwear for auto detailing?

    Not saying I'd wear them in public but... Crocs. Wearing in public I actually like Sketchers shoes.

    Newbie preparing for ceramic coating - (CQUARTZ UK 3.0)

    That is what I use (I modified my post from terry to microfiber). I did not mention the 300's as I don't see that AG is selling them. However, it is all I use for polish removal now. I reviewed shat AG sold for one with about the same GSM and a low pile.

    Meg MF Pad Sizes

    I can understand and would want them to be just slightly bigger. The problem I have is that the Meg packaging has huge type stating that they are 6" pad. In smaller type way under that is the truth.. they are 6.25". Meg's 6" pads really mean that they fit a 6" _backing plate_. When you buy a...

    Meg MF Pad Sizes

    At first the "6 inch", sorry 6.25 inch pads were working on the 5 inch backing plate but after a wash or two they became unstable on the plate at best and Frisbees at worse. I measured by Flex plate and it was under 6 inches as well. Ordered some new ones from AG but (at first) UPS was reporting...

    Newbie preparing for ceramic coating - (CQUARTZ UK 3.0)

    You want a towel with a low pile. I actually switched to a terry towel with a GSM of 365. I find it works much better at removing polishing compound. However, most anything with a low pile will work just fine. For example, those towels that most big manufactures put in with their waxes would...

    Which sealant?

    I'd say something but Paulmys is stealing all of my thoughts/comments! :) Opinion time... ceramic waxes work... but IMHO they are more marketing hype then anything else. They don't work any better than 95% of the stuff already on the market. It is just "new". I also think Wolfgang Deep Gloss is...

    Meg MF Pad Sizes

    Let me start by saying, this was a mistake that _I_ made and I'll own it. I recently bought a polisher with a 5" backing plate. Wanted to pick up some microfiber pads and I saw some Meg's 6" pads. Thought 1/2" overhang... perfect. Some of you know where I'm going with this. Yup... Meg's "6...

    Max Shine/Shine Master Branding

    I actually watched good reviews of it. I don't think it is a great polisher but I suspect it will do just fine for a non-professional.
