    HELP. Let a friend use my buffer/pads.

    Loaning tools is is like loaning money. Not much good can come from it. Loaning pads is like loaning socks and underwear. Don't expect to be thrilled to reuse them when they are returned. In general, it is like owning a pickup. You have friends come out of the woodwork you never heard from...

    Blowing of car after rain....

    Is this to avoid spotting or to clean or other reason? In general, rain is usually soft water and doesn't spot up much.

    I have an old gift certificate which I partially used. Is there a way to find out how much is left?

    Washing Car With Brush

    What color is your car? If it is black then it is risky. If it is a light color that will not show swirls as much as black then you can test it on the bottom of a quarter panel and see if it works. The soap is going to be more important than anything else. Megs or Optimum are good products...

    To use SiO2 or not

    Agree 100% with this. I use spray wax weekly over Collinite and it is both simple to wipe off and the finish remains glossy indefinitely, assuming you wipe it down with spray wax on a regular basis. I apply Collinite once a year now but it probably gets 40+ spray wax wipe-downs during that...

    ONR in QD dilution hard to wipe

    How old is the 915? I never had this problem with ONR. Any particular reason you're using a QD on freshly washed paint? I use spray wax instead which provides significant lubrication. Even ONR+W would probably provide more lubrication.

    CR Spotless or other DI water systems

    We have a softener and I used to use soft water for rinse and the spots do wipe off easier but I wanted spot free because of the sun. Spot free is definitely easier to work with. Sent from my iPhone X using Tapatalk

    CR Spotless or other DI water systems

    I have my own home-made DI (de-ionized water) system but this is relevant to CR Spotless, Simple Chucks or any other DI system. My objective in this post is to suggest how to save a lot of money on mixed bed resin. My water is very hard well water (450-500 TDS total dissolved solids) so the...

    Drying: Waffle or Microfiber, you prefer?

    Kills two birds with one stone. Spray wax on a damp or wet car does not diminish the effectiveness of the wax. The wax is nanometers thick, the water particles are millimeters thick.

    Drying: Waffle or Microfiber, you prefer?

    Agree, I also use a drying agent (spray wax) as a lubricant and for added protection.

    Vacmaster Beast or Rigid Wet Dry Vac?

    I've had multiple Ridgid 6.5HP models which I use for everything, including yardwork. No issues.

    I've tried all kinds of waxes and sealants and I keep going back to Collinite 476.

    Same here. I hit mine with spray wax as a drying agent weekly, too. Spray wax is OCW+FastWax.

    Water experts please

    For all intents and purposes. RODI (reverse osmosis de-ionized) water is almost equivalent to distilled water, free of any salts and dissolved solids that would cause spotting. The CR uses a mixed-bed resin which removes minerals. A deionizer passes water through a semipermeable membrane and...
