    Now we all know that dish wash is bad for your car, how about the reverse?

    Dish wash soap bad for your car? This is news to me. I use Dawn all the time for pre/post correction washes.

    Iron X question...

    No, but it will probably not work as well since the water will be diluting it and it might not bond with certain iron particles due to the water obstructing it. No.

    Favorite all in one/APC?

    Shocker! :laughing: I've got to get me some OPC. IMO I use APC+ but have not used OPC yet which many believe to be superior despite the price difference.

    Meguiars APC+ questions

    I have used APC+ at 4:1 on several vehicles as a LSP stripper or bug spray in a pinch and it has worked fine. But as usual, test a spot on your vehicle. I CAN say that I would never use APC+ at full strength or even 1:1 on paint. 4:1 is the highest concentration I would use on paint and even...

    Review: Kwazar Mercury Pro + 1 Liter Spray Bottle

    Does the Kwazar sprayer spray product on the release of the trigger? Maybe it's just me but that's what it seemed like from the video.

    Relatively new to car caring

    Claying won't remove scratches or etched in water spots :) I meant you'll need to make sure that before polishing the car's paint, you prepare it by claying the paint to get rid of any bonded contaminants that will not come off with washing. That way, you are much less likely to induce...

    Iron X question...

    I haven't tried the Elastomer Bar but I have heard some like it some hate it because it can't be molded. What's your experience Old Tiger? Also, yes, Mark, you will absolutely hate the smell of this stuff if you are faint-nosed :laughing: Sonax smells like a perm but IronX smells like rotten eggs!

    Relatively new to car caring

    It will be fine for now. The scratches/waterspots ARE the damage that has occurred from improper care--but they are not progressive, they are stagnant. As far as skipping the paint cleaner, I believe you should. It is likely unnecessary as long as you have clayed properly.

    DodoJuice Supernatural Hybrid?

    Never tried a Dodo Juice wax...but if AG carries it this will likely be my first :props:

    Iron X question...

    The only problem with that is you are trading out wash mitts, which are rinse-able and reusable, for clay bars, which are not reusable after a certain point. Also, if the paint were heavily contaminated or just improperly "clay washed" you would essentially be rubbing your paint with a piece of...

    Iron X question...

    Correct. It only reacts with certain deposits on the paint and will do nothing for other deposits whereas clay bars grab whatever they come across if they can remove it by "grabbing" it and pulling it into the clay bar. Also, I have run into a few cases where SOME embedded iron particles have...
