    The Role Silicone Plays in Car Care Products

    I would venture to say the correction in HD Speed comes from the proprietary blend of abrasives and pad combination. Based on the original article presented on page 1, the ease of use or ability to wipe away the wax residue would most likely be attributed to the "silicone".

    Distilled water really?

    Distilled water is only pH 7 while fresh. The longer it sits the more the pH drops. It can measure as low as 5.5. *multiple sources during research, starting with Wikipedia

    most economical iron remover?

    Based on availability without having to dilute anything, take a look at 3D BDX. Retail is slightly higher than what you posted above but you can order it in larger containers. The next recommendation would be a 5L of Sonax Fallout Remover. This will retail around $125 for 1.3+ gallons.

    PA Cosmic Spritz = IMPRESSIVE

    From my understanding at this point, there are a couple ways to refine it as well as concentration levels. I have only started research in recent weeks and not sure if we will experiment with it since we are looking at a few other "ingredients".

    Thoughts on HD Metal?

    I absolutely love it. Chad makes a great point though, very runny or thin just like Optimum. I would buy it again though.

    Bare aluminum rims with acid spots around rivets/bolts - please help

    I don't see why the Powerball Mini wouldn't work around the rivets but personally I use the Mothers Powercone. I have a client that I polish his wheels twice a year and use the Powerball, powerball mini, and power cone. If you use too much polish it can fill in the rivet heads so don't forget...

    Learning from Richy

    Richy has been a tremendous help over the years. The great thing is that even when he is busy, the man always finds time to call me back and help. I have so much respect for him that I can't put it into words. I highly advise people to pay attention to his posts, even the jokes!

    M205 vs Hd Polish +

    How long are you working HD Polish? It is non diminishing and doesn't have to be cycled any longer than M205. Also, make sure that you are using 3-4 pea size drops only, clean the pad often, and work cool.
