Funny that you jump from leather topic to wheels cause brake dust is indeed problem. What do you mean by wheel barrel you mean dust break gets in the wheel barrel and clings onto the wheel and destroying it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was able to massage the leather to smooth it out a bit and seems it’s slightly better but not sure if should be massaging it or not but if there is other methods please share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I had to give ride to someone to love some stuff and forgot to take water bottle in center console of my new x3 and when folding seats it left ding mark on a rather hard leather seat. Seat was down overnight so left impression . I got upset cause something you can double check easily but...

Gonna do the works next week (minus polish) and need to get a claybar. I had mothers and meguiars before and probally will get that but wondering if there is ones I should consider as well. I know there is the more easier ones out there like the glove you wear etc.. Which i will get too but...

Yeah I’m making name for myself Of the “worry guy” it’s just that this is my first luxury ride and have to proof to myself that I can do it the right way from start to finish. Afterwards I’ll enjoy it more . Being cautious and prepared is key so getting all info I can . I’ll eventually find my...

So I’m sure the dealer put coat of wax but not sure when but I’m startling feel the slickness is going away. My claybar and iron x isn’t coming in till later but wondering is there temp wax I can spray on that will protest for about 5 days before I spend a whole fri or sat doing wash.clay.ironx...

So the sealants you mentioned doesn't have any cleaning or abrassive in them so if i were to reapply the wax, i basically would have to just do a through cleaning and drying right before reapplying wax. I'm guessing Doing thewash, claybar, ironx, and applying wax I don't have to worry too much...

- I am getting the Griots Garage 5” Plate but what is purpose for the 4” (3-7/8) plate. I’m guessing for smaller areas ? - I do wanna machine wax and will get the pads but how many should I get? As mentioned, after claying and iron x I’ll be waxing probably every 2 months. - I was gonna do...

Well I’m in Seattle (suburbs) so the air quality is great and so I don’t think there is any minerals from earth or acid rain. So in that regardless I’m safe. When you say protect your paint. You mean like a wax, sealant or ceramic coating right? I’ll be waxing soon after wash, clay, ironx, ...

But are you referring to 2 bucket hand wash or pressure wash (I think pressure wash doesn't work in rain right its hazardous)

So let say I polish and make those nice consisitent swirls from machine etc.. after buffing them out and see some swirlsin one section where it seems pressure wasn't applied as much, is it ok to just go over that area Or other areas that is similra and bypass the good areas? I'll be using those...

I got the porter cable after getting the mikes dvd and book which he uses the pc so I can easily use it I guess (probably not the best answer but still heard good stuff about this machine). So the plates you recommended earlier works for the pc ? I have the PC BTW. And own a GG Boss-15, and...

ONE BACKING PLATE (BETTER YET 2)? I’m not sure what backing plate does (I’m a newbie lol) I guess the porter cable I got came with one backing plate but heard it’s like useless? Are you referring to this? Griots Garage 5 Inch Vented Orbital Backing Plate This will work with the Porter cable...

Sorry I made thread about what pads to get for polishing and what polish but I don't think I'm ready to polish yet until I read the Mike P. Book and dvd I got on here. Hahha i got it signed so I'm hoping the connection will give me some confidence in doing this and not marre the paint...

That's true. Reminds me of playing tennis tournaments etc.. Stressing about winning etc when in fact should enjoy the ride

do anyone just dry the car with those blow dryers on autogeek.... thats definetly touching and think i'll get one later down road.. or do they just take off chunks of water beads but still need towel to buff out the rest

I don't think it is minerals from water spots. It rains a lot here and other areas of the car (kind of towards bottom) doesn't have it. I think the tree sap mist hit the car in top ports mostly and when I cleaned it off, it came right off instantly but took bit of the clear coat. Always thought...

THat seems like lot of work. Basically dump all mf towels (regardless what it was used for) and use dawn? Woudn't some get wax on cleaner etc and decontaminate. Just thought the chemical guys video on cleaning mf towels were little overkill. But if separateing them is indeed way to go, I'll go...

You have special air dryer? Or use like leaf blower.. I wonder buying those dryers (like 300+ dollars) can dry the car without ever using towel.
