    Uber SiO2 Coating Wash before Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

    It can be a little tough to know what's compatible with what, in terms of products. When I think of Si02, I think coatings only, not sealants, or waxes. I really wanted to try Wolfgang's Si02 Wash after Mike's article but didn't think it was right for me since I use sealants & waxes. It...

    Pads Hotter Than Your Morning Cup of Coffee

    Maybe you could try cutting a hole in the center of a test pad in order to duplicate the dimensions & design of the original intended pad, Rupes' pads, or Rupes-like pads. LC's pad version of for the long-throw has a hole. Maybe a hole would help.

    claybar recomendations

    Personally, I would get the FINE grade clay bar from Pinnacle or BlackFire. I would not use Meguiars, or Mothers. I think those two are a little more aggressive than the Fine poly clay offered by Pinnacle & BlackFire. Secondly, I've had better luck with less marring using fine clay vs...

    Damages from rain?

    If you are going to clay your car, be sure to get a fine clay such as Pinnacle fine clay bar. Some clay will mar the paint more than others. Polishing will get rid of the marring, but I am assuming you don't own polishing equipment. And, be sure to get a quality clay lube.

    I did the unthinkable and paid the price... :(

    When I got to: "Rather than end up with a car with baked in water spots, I (thought it was a good idea at the time)..." I thought you were going to say you re-injured yourself trying to take care of your car. Get well, and resist temptation!

    Clear bra marred by brake fluid spill - way to fix?

    $350 for a bra is good money, and that's at a good discount it seems. But that's besides the point. Anyhow, bras are easy to polish. Do you own a polisher? You can polish the other portions that they don't replace to help match the new section.

    Clear bra marred by brake fluid spill - way to fix?

    I've always hears that brake fluid will eat paint, but I didn't know how fast because I've always been so careful to not find out. It's sort of impressive how quickly the brake fluid did that to the bra. BTW, clear bras can be polished.

    3 Bucket Wash

    What about using multiple high-pile towels instead of mitts. That way, you have multiple sides per towel to swipe, and they are cheaper. Plus, you can never have too many towels.

    What do you use for a Detail Prep Wash?

    Me neither, until I read the back of my Klasse AIO bottle all the way down to the bottom and it read: "• NEVER USE DISH DETERGENT for washing your car. Use a capful of this polish instead. Although you will not have a foamy cleaning solution, dirt will be lifted from your vehicle’s surface." I...

    What do you use for a Detail Prep Wash?

    I use CarPro Reset w/ two ounces of apc to 3.5 gallons of water. I was considering using Klasse AIO in 3.5 gallons of water with normal soap. Do you think this would leave something behind?

    Mike, The towel looks like a Sonus Der Wonder towel, but with square corners, instead of rounded corners. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    Interior - mouse in vehicle. Help!

    Amazon sells live catch traps that are easy to set-up and will not hurt anything larger than a rat. Roughly $6 per unit. Obviously, they can be placed anywhere, including inside the vehicle.

    Not sure if I have an issue

    If you are using an extension cord, try plugging into a socket directly to observe any changes. Let's try to remove some variables first.

    Smack Towel Method (STM)

    Yes, I have noticed lint rollers can leave glue residue on towels. I will roll mine from time to time, but never any glass towel.
