    Faint Scratches on new Vehicle

    Where do you live? If by chance near Colorado Springs, I will be glad to help you and even let you get experience with both my FLEX3401 and PC. Send a PM if interested. By the way, if you never get a PC or similar polisher, you will always be inexperienced. Orbital polishers are very safe to...

    Clear Bra rubber mark

    Looks like the clear bra did its job protecting the paint. Since you have tried several products/methods to remove the scuff, I agree with pdqgp, time to replace.

    What should I do?! Need new car advice!

    Run from the dealer's offer. If you read the warranty you will probably see that regular "maintenance" by the dealer is required to keep the warranty in effect. This usually translates into more $$$ for the "maintenance." You are not far from Louisville, KY. From this site, see if you can find...

    New Video - How to properly wash your car - Rinseless Wash - Waterless Wash - Gentle Approach - Aggressive Approach

    Thanks Mike. Great tutorial. I do rinseless wash a bit differently. Once I mix my rinseless solution (ONR) I put pre-folded microfiber towels into the solution. As I take each soaked towel out of the solution, I don't wring it at all. My feeling is the wetter the towel is, the less chance of...

    ONR question

    I have been using ONR for a couple of years now. The only thing I notice that it leaves behind is a nice, clean car and a lower water bill. That makes me very happy.

    Hhr clear bra?

    Many manufacturers apply Paint Protection Film (PPF), sometimes referred to as "clear bra" to the area in front of the rear wheels to protect that area from small rocks thrown up by the front tires. To remove it, rather than using a heat gun that can quickly damage the paint if not careful, I...

    Poison Ivy removal

    If you are not allergic to poison ivy, then have at it. Otherwise, follow the example of the other detailers and turn down the job. Poison ivy is not fun.

    Car covers - will they scratch paint?

    In my opinion, yes, using car covers will result in abraded paint. No matter how well you secure the cover to your car, wind will blow abrasive particles up and under the cover. Then, as the wind causes the covers to ripple and possibly flap in the wind, the abrasion begins and continues.

    The Holy Grail of wax

    I applied Fuzion to my Subaru Outback in Oct 2015. It was still beading when I washed it day before yesterday. However, virtually all washings since last Oct have been with ONR. Since Fuzion is so easy to use, I would still use even if I had to reapply monthly.
