I've been mixing 601 and 501 in a bottle, and 601 and 501 in a nother bottle for about 2 years now and have never had any issue. however i only mix up enough to use on the vehicile i'm currently working on, as i do not like to let the mixed products sit in the bottle for more than a few...

Well, i did not become an Autogeek until i had my brand new truck for about a month... So yes, the dealer had already washed the truck a few times... a black swirled mess... the dealer is now told i do not want my truck washed... and i hang a "please do not wash me" sign from the rear view...

You might want to start with the least aggressive product and pad first. Yesterday morning i woke up and was running late for work, when i went to leave i noticed a flock of birds left morning bombs on my car... some of the bombs actually surprised me as to how large they were... LOL... i...

i used the yellow foam pad stuffed in a latex glove wrapped with a blue shop towel to apply to the paint and to the rims. I had no issue. I did the rims last and used a fresh towel.

i'm sure you already know this, but please be careful driving through high water... It wasn't to long ago a mother and her kid was killed right down the road from my work in Pittsburgh when we had a freak thunderstorm and the road flooded, and they got trapped in their mini van and perrished...

congrats and i can't wait to see some pics... Did you ever consider black?

Great work Road Rage! What products did you use on the carbon fiber parts? did you treat them just like you did the painted panels (pads and products)?

:dblthumb2: Richy - as soon as i saw a post by you and you were detailing a white vehicle, my first thought was DG 501! LOL i know you said not to ask, but can you reveal the company that made the cleaning product you used?

West Side - i would be very interested in hearing what the condition of the O-C or paint looks like after a light claying... Were any swirls, scratches, or marring caused to the finish by claying.... did you have to lightly polish afterwards...

I think it depends if your vehicle is a daily driver and garaged all the time or not. My truck sits outside 24/7 and i AW about once a month or every other wash.

I too use DG Aquawax, and after seeing how many people are posting about AW... Could AW be the best seller at DG?

Have you tried compounding with a DA or a rotary?

arack - i just gotta ask... I see you live in Western PA... Where at?

the 8mil black gloves Bill is refering to, are AMAZING... these things are so durable! I'd reccomend them to anyone... i used to use typical latex gloves, until i tried the 8mil black nitrile gloves!

Thanks Chris!!! I have to admit, i'm a Duragloss man, however in the last year i've been buying Optimum products as well and now i can admit between Duragloss, Optimum, and Menzerna products, i feel like i can tackle any project... BUT i'm no pro detailer like most of the guys and gals on this...

Thanks Arack... Alex, you'll love how easy it is to do... i too am a traditional wax person, but that's why i have my g/f's legacy and my DD civic :)

Ok, so when i came home from work, my dad had already washed the whole car and rims with Dawn had it dried off and waiting for me in the garage... We started claying around 3:30pm.... He helped me clay, then as i polished the car with a white LC flat pad with Hyper polish, he followed behind...
