    Plan for Blacklight, wax, and v7..which wax?

    I agree - I don't see the point of waxing if you're just going to change the look and water-interaction properties immediately after with an application of v7 - and since v7 adds some protection by itself, if you just want added durability, just use it after every wash.

    Overseas products, mainly dodo and bouncers

    Bouncer's 22 is a nice wax - fairly reasonably priced, gives a very nice gloss that would look really good on lighter colors and metallics, and that 100 ml pot will last a bit - it just spreads and spreads and spreads. I got my pot direct from Mr. Dodo: (Yep, that the signed #4 jar of the...

    Has anyone actually tried the Chemical Guys J-97 $999.00 wax?

    I haven't used it :D And if I had that money to spend on a wax, I still wouldn't - I'd get some Zymol Glasur (if I didn't already have it), SwissVax Concorso/Best of Show, Dodo Juice Supernatural in that nice wooden pot, and some Auto Finesse Spirit - and still have over $100 in change left.

    New Dodo Juice Products...

    I've raised the point as well - I would be very interested in Satsuma Rock (I got pot #4 of the first commercial pour of Bouncer's 22), but the shipping from the UK just kills it for me.

    Which to use next - more aggressive pad or product?

    I would use a more aggressive product rather than use a more aggressive pad with a mild polish - the pad may induce marring that your polish will be too fine to completely remove.

    Collinite - Too Good!

    845 has a very bright, shiny look - too bright for me, at least for my red car.

    Dust Collector

    FK425? Claims to have anti-static properties. I've not used it a lot (only have a small sample), and it could easily be a placebo effect, but I did feel that the car did not accumulate as much dust when I used it.

    Actually, carnauba comes from the leaves of the palm - it's the coating on the leaf itself.

    cleaning windows (help me)

    Wait, what? You also applied the Rain-X repellent to the inside glass surfaces? Why? It's not going to get rained on inside, and the rain repellent will probably make fogging inside more likely.

    Which 4 inch pads to buy?

    The Cyclo 4" pads, which I believe are rebranded Buff and Shine - they're cheaper too.

    Fine Or Medium

    I agree - if you're sure you'll be polishing afterwards anyway, might as well go for the medium grade.

    I got bored today and started thinking...

    Sounds like it could work - I'd verify that the pressure washer does did suck the water first though, before spending on the other bits and bobs.

    Best AIO?

    Nice tip I got from the Optimum forums - you can use OCW to wipe off the (likely minimal) residue left by Poli-Seal.
