Are those water spots the result of rain drying on the paint?? Or are they from washing the vehicle in the sun and not towel drying fast enough?

Like I posted previously, the issue isn't TIRE CLEANING. It isn't about using a specific tire brush or this brand or that brand tire cleaner. It has to do with the rubber compound formulation. I've personally experienced this years ago when we had our minivan. OEM Yoko tires. This brown...

Nah. Tuck the cuff in usually. There are times where the cuff is useful when I need to shove my hand inside for certain vertical areas with nooks and crannies (ie plastic front grilles). Also, I like to pull on the cuff with my finger tips to glide the mitt with no pressure on horizontal flat...

HUH? A wrung out wash mitt is not heavy at all. And why would that matter? Just gently glide the mitt (with no pressure) along the surface. No harm. Personally, I remove (cut out) the foam inside of wash mitts. I just don't like how stiff it makes it feel. The plush MF fibers are more than...

Sorry, I don't believe in the pre-treating theory. Not for a rinseless wash. If your paint is that dirty that you feel you have to pre-treat, then you probably should be doing a bucket soap wash with some extra foaming for lubrication. NOT a rinseless wash. I just washed the wifes Durango RT...

If your tire is STILL brown after thorough scrubbing and cleaning, then its not because its dirty. The rubber compound and conditioners in your specific tires are just formulated in such a way that they are causing a more brown-ish appearance. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do...

I can't do it man. I just can't. I tried years ago with a sponge and I hated the experience. And I really don't get how those special detail sponges with the spliced centers, do what they claim to do. Supposedly "trap" dirt inside of it. Psshh, whatever, lol. You have to apply pressure on the...

The OP has asked specifically whether or not pre-rinsing with ONR, letting it dwell for a few minutes and then hosing it off on a dry, dirty vehicle is beneficial. He is curious if whether or not the RW "breaks down" dirt (assuming loose dirt) which aids for a safer, hose and bucket contact...

Pre-rinsing with a RW is a WASTE OF TIME and product. If your concerned with grit/debris on the surface prior to a hand contact wash, then a good high pressure water rinse will do just fine. What remains afterwards is road film and soiling that can be safely removed (using a good practice) with...

Unless your scrubbing tires with a wire brush, NO, this doesn't damage tires. Damage comes from solvents and/or chemicals that *deteriorate* the antioxidants and antiozonants formulated in the rubber compound. These are designed to bleed to the sidewall to protect the tire from oxygen and UV...

No. It doesn't make sense to spend more money on Wetcoat or anything else is the same category. And when I said Armor All Ceramic lasts "a few good weeks" that was an estimation as I have never officially recorded how long it actually lasts. It could be a month or longer. Since I always re-apply...

Ignore all the YT videos. No one (from what I've seen) is using Armor All Ceramic *concentrated* in a spray bottle. See my post HERE for my tips on how to use this product. In a nutshell, spray >let dwell 15 seconds >rinse. (keep out of direct sunlight)

^^^THIS Nothing is cheaper than the Armor All Ceramic. N O T H I N G End/thread

Yes, this IMO. ^^ Keeping coatings or lite-coatings free from dirt/contaminants really do have an affect on its performance. I know that in many situations washing frequently isn't always possible because of life but allowing too long of a period in-between washes can result in this "clogging"...

Where did Meguiar's say that Hybrid Ceramic Wash n Wax is being discontinued? It's still on their website, unlike HPC.

The 24 hr cure period is definitely critical to the bonding process. You'll want to plan ahead for the next time to ensure that rain is NOT in the forecast. There isn't anything you can do about it now. But that doesn't mean your totally screwed. You'll probably still be able to benefit from...

Scale back your dilutions. Directions call for 1 oz per 2 gallons. You say your putting "one or two" in your bucket. With a ceramic component adding more is likely not a good idea and is possibly the reason for your hazing. With regular RW's, adding a little extra usually doesn't have any...

Yes. Wetcoat, Hydro Blue and Carpro Hydro. And from what I remember from using these (its been a while) is that, sure, they all provided beading but nothing stood out to me. Nothing compelled me to buy more of it. In fact for a while I switched to Nanoskin SuperCharger Touchless sealant because...

Oh and one more thing I forgot to mention - did you know this is available in a gallon size? Yep. You'll find it on amazon. ;)

I'm very familiar with this Armor All Ceramic soap. Been using for quite some time. I don't use it as my primary soap. Why? Well, it just doesn't do it for me for lubrication. And of course low sudsing which I care mostly about for knowing where I've wiped with my mitt already. And then there...
