    Waxing before rain?

    Ya I have a coat of collinite 476s on there right now. I understand that the longevity of the CG XXX will be affected by the previous coat, which I want to keep. I'll wash the car, (non stripping shampoo) then wax it, and coat it with two layers of xxx. Sounds about right?

    Waxing before rain?

    Is it ok to wax a day before rain? I just got some CG xxx paste wax that I'm dying to try out. I have Friday-Sunday off work, was going to do it Friday, but supposed to rain sat-sun. I know it's a carnauba wax, so will the "shine" and durability be tarnished if it rains the next day? I...

    Canadian Shipping

    And this is why I rarely order from US sites. If i do, I'll get them shipped to the boarder and pick them up. I live 40min to Ogdensburg NY, so it's fairly easy for me, and the CBSA are very familiar with this practice. My opinion would be to go to eshine or autoobsessed. (Not to take away...

    New Audi purchase - allow dealership prep/wax or no?

    I used to work at a Honda dealership years back. We did our best to not induce DISO. The lighting in the wash bays are lit up very well and rarely ever had swirls. We made sure as to not DISO, and if we did, we'd buff them out accordingly. I also worked at Subaru, and they were HORRIBLE. First...

    Compound and paint combos

    Just ordered some fg400, sf4000 and m205, as well as a boat load of mf's as eShine is having a BOGO on one of them. And a few other nic-nacs like soap and clay. Can't wait to try them out!

    Compound and paint combos

    Ok title kinda sounds weird... What my question is, what compounds/polishes work best with specific paints i.e. Benz=hard paint, honda=soft etc. In your experience, what works best for each manufactures paint?

    Ultimate Compound Question.

    I recently used UC and found I need to use the UP to get rid of some micro-marring left from the UC. I did UC, UP then collinite 476s as a LSP.

    Foam cannon and hard water

    Ok, so I tried it with softened water form inside and made a huge difference in foam output. Now it's much more like in the videos with 4oz soap. Although, when I do rinse with the soft water, the water doesn't flood off the car like it usually would.

    Foam cannon and hard water

    Would a filter like this help with the hard water? Has anyone tried this unit? http://www.autogeek.net/waterfilterkit2.html

    Foam cannon and hard water

    That's quite a bit of soap, no? And didn't someone say that ONR will kill the suds?

    Foam cannon and hard water

    Ok so I brought it to my buddy's who's on city water, foam is much better!! Now I just have to figure out an inline water softener system to hook up for the garden hose.

    Foam cannon and hard water

    Ok so I tried to loosen the fittings like stated before, but that made no difference. When I get a chance, I'm going to take the cannon to a buddy's and try it on the city water. If that fixes the issue, looks like I'm in the market for an inline filtration device.

    Foam cannon and hard water

    Yup, tried both ways on top and the nozzle, wise open on top seems to get the most soap, but not the shaving cream thick foam.
