Hey guys I am looking to buy an applicator to apply wax to my vehicle. A while back I purchased a chem guys applicator pad and it is terrible. It's too big and the microfiber wrapped around the foam is almost paper thin. Any suggestions on a good applicator?

Also! what kind of applicators do you guys suggest when applying these products to plastic trim??

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I will be sure to give some of them a try!

I have been having issues with my soap. Mr. Pink from chem guys for some reason leaves a bit of a residue when it dries. Also, I have tried maxi suds and it destroys my paint with leftover residue…Could it be my soft water causing the soap to leave a residue?? Could it just be the soap not being...

Edit: I have heard of Blackfire trim sealant but the 4oz makes me cringe for the price. I am keeping it in mind though! I am still searching around and getting feedback from you guys!

I'm looking for something that isn't over the top expensive since it's just for my car. I just want something decent enough to keep my trim from fading. I know you get what you pay for but I just want something that's in the middle performance wise! Thanks for all the input guys! Keep shooting...

I have been on the market for a good bug and tar remover or just a bug remover. Any of you guys know of a good dillutable bug remover or both combined? Also so I have been looking into purchasing megs all purpose cleaner and degreaser..which one works better? Thanks!

I'm looking for a product to protect my plastic trim. Anyone have any suggestions on how to prep the trim and what product would be good to seal it? Thanks!

Hey guys, I have a 2016 mustang 5.0 and the engine has a good layer of dirt on it. I have heard that many of the newer generation vehicles engines important parts are sealed away from water. Any advice on what I should cover before cleaning it? Anything helps! Thanks!

I have been using chemical guys maxi suds and citrus wash and gloss and they both leave a film on the paint. This film causes me to leave all kinds of streaks behind on my car during the drying process. Any of you guys know of a high quality soap that dries on the paint without leaving any type...

I personally have a gas pressure washer and it works perfect with my foam cannon (2300 psi). I am looking to get an electric one because it is too loud and the fumes are annoying. I have seen some electric pressure washers that put out the same psi. I'm not too sure on how much psi is needed to...

Hey guys I just got back home and I am assuming I ran over some gum on the highway. It got all over the bottom half of my door and plastic side skirt. How can I go about removing it without damaging my paint! Thanks!!

Hey everyone, I am currently looking to purchase a good quality drying towel. Let me know what you guys prefer! Thanks!

Re: Pad inducing micro swirls in the paint? Mike! Did you ever get the chance to figure out a good pad/polish/compound combo for my current problem? I have looked into purchasing the three different brands of pads you sent me. Let me know! Thanks!

Bro this same exact thing is happening to me! I tried all different combinations! I also have black paint! I'm currently trying to get info on what products/pads would fix it. I have also gotten mixed reviews on chem guys hex pads/Vline polishes. Some say they are cheap while others say they are...

Awesome! Thanks for the input! I greatly appreciate it! Did you have a chance to look at my youtube videos of my paint condition after trying to correct my paint?? Get back to me when you can with further information about the pads and how you think I should attack my paint! THANKS!!

That could defiantly be the issue I am having. I have washed the pads more than once, so I don't think there shouldn't be any contaminants in them. But after washing them I tried a new test spot and the same thing appeared (micro swirls). It could potentially be that my paint doesn't like the...

Wow thanks for all of the information Mr. Phillips! I will defiantly give these products a try. I have not encountered anyone on the forum who uses a Torq DA polisher. It would be great if you can test it out for me and see which pads work best with it. Also based on your response with the...

My confusion here is that when I first used the orange pad it caused tons of compounding scratches that were really hard to get out. Still to this day I haven't been able to get all of them out. So I'm confused as to if it were the pad or compound (V36) that caused the micro scratches. The green...

Thanks for your advice! I am hesitant to buy a microfiber pad because of the increased cut it comes with. I don't think my paint is hard. Based on my results I believe that it's in-between Hard and soft. What foam pads would you recommend. I have heard great things about the Rupes finishing...
