We're trying to figure out how to care for the microfiber towels - right now I just toss them since they seem to repel water really well.
You'll be able to find it after February 1. AutoGeek would be a good place to start. Several retail chains are putting it in as well.
Yes, you can reapply...
For maximum longevity you wash, clay and polish (as needed for defect removal), then do an IPA wipedown to remove any oils. Spray product on and buff. Let cure for 24 hours. Here are te actual directions from the bottle:
1. Begin with a clean, cool and dry surface.
2. Ensure the paint is free...
What I find disappointing is those who don't follow the directions
Allow to penetrate then buff with a clean microfiber or terry cloth towel
and then complain about how the product performs.
You'd never dream of waxing your car without at least washing (and possibly claying), but very few...
That can design is older than many of the members here, but it's still the best.
And if you love the smell of bubble gum, you'll love the smell of the wax.
ifadey also posted his question on our company forum, so I've copied the answer to here for others:
Though there are no fillers and no silicones in Pure Polish. If you're looking to remove light scratches and want body-shop safe/silicone-free, the compounds and polishes in our professional line...
I'd suggest trying again with our included/recommend lubricant, instead of what was used.

As others have mentioned, those factory rims have a clear coat on them, as do 99+% of the factory high-polished rims. Please don’t use our Mag & Aluminum Polish on them.
The marks you show appear to be under the clear coat, so there’s no easy way to remove them unless you want to strip the...
You can use a foam pad detergent if you have it, or we recommend using dish soap and warm water in a bucket. Disassemble for best results (takes a 10mm wrench). Squeeze it in the water to clean well, then rise and allow to dry before reassembling. Reassembly is also a good time to reverse the...
Alcoa uses several different alloys, and you never quite know what you'll get. And yes, some of their rims are coated.
If the aluminum is pitted, we can assume the wheels are not coated, though. We do make a more aggressive tool, the PowerBall Mini MD and polish to help remove the major...
I had a summer job 1975 before I started college - building clear plastic display boxes using MEK to melt the plastic corners/edges together through a large needle fed from a glass bottle.
NEVER want to do that again. Stuff made you lighter-headed than some of the recreational products that...
I can't believe anyone in an aviation shop would use MEK. Since it can weaken acrylic, using it near windows can weaken them and cause major problems, particularly on an aircraft that's pressurized.
I'd consult with someone who has an A&P license about what chemicals are safe to use in that...
MEK is some nasty stuff. It melts acrylic plastic.
If I wanted something to remove fresh oil, I'd use a waterless wash & wax - which also wouldn't bother your coating.
After speaking with our chemists and tech support folks, we’re guessing our interior Detailer removed whatever protectant/dressing was on the dashpad, allowing the actual condition of the surface to be seen.
You mentioned this was an older vehicle. What year/make/model, and how has it been...
