    looking for a wax to pad tip

    Some users of FK1000p melt the wax and pour it into an empty deodorant dispenser--don't know if it would work with the Griots wax.

    How to Clean Pads After Using Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

    While I've never used WGDGPS, I do use FK1000p which is a bear to remove from pads. I've had good luck also using the towel method and then cleaning the pad with Awesome Orange Degreaser from the Dollar Store.

    Griots Correcting cream turned into water?

    Try putting a 1/2 inch stainless ball bearing or a stainless nut into the bottle and then shake it up--really shortens/aids the mixing process.

    Tried the Big Red Sponge today...

    I've been doing rinseless washes since ONR first came out and tried grout sponges, individual towels etc. For the past few years I've used a self developed hybrid system using a grout sponge and the long nap MF mitts pictured below. I carefully cut out the thread that separates the mitt...

    Winter wheel cleaning without a hose

    The latest one I can find on his youtube page is from a week ago--a white Mazda. If that's the one you are talking about it is almost clean even before he started. I think what Desertnate is talking about up here in the Northeast is a black car that after a couple of weeks looks white from...

    Winter wheel cleaning without a hose

    I agree totally!! I might attempt a waterless or rinseless AFTER the wheels have been pressure washed, but not before so at that point it seems a little futile to not just use a bucket and give them a full wash.

    Fk1000p

    FK 425 QD is a great drying aid for FK1000p--I use it most of the time, but have used Ultima Waterless Wash+ on occasion and it also plays well with the 1000. It's also my favorite rinseless wash with the 1000. BTW: Ultima Acrylic Spray Wax is a fantastic booster for FK100p

    Which one ? Meguiar's MT300 or GG 6" DA?

    The GG6 has all the power/torque you'll need even if you don't use thin pads---with a 5" backing plate and 5.5" pads there isn't much it can't do. Add the Heavy Duty 3" backing plate and 3 inch pads and you're good to go for even the small tight areas on the car. And to top it all off the...

    Leather seat care questions

    Optimum Leather Protectant was developed from the ground up for today's coated leather and vinyl. I just traded in an 07 VW Passant -- I always wiped the leather with a damp MF at each wash and used Optimum Leather Protectant every few months--the leather looked like new at trade in. Very...

    Optimum Hyper Polish Spray With Long Throw Polisher?

    Thanks for the reply's!! I was thinking of trying with my G15 on Boss Orange pads on our two VWs--both have typical VW hard paint and just light to moderate wash induced swirls. How do you think it would perform in this situation?
