I 'm on my second gallon of Hydro Blue, and it's almost gone. I find this stuff amazing. I live in Alabama, lots of sun, heat, humidity,dust, rain, salty air, and it does a fantastic job on all the cars I've used it on. It's retains it's hydrophobic properties for a couple of months, at the...

Are you in Atlanta?

I'm 70, and still love to detail. Luckily. I'm extremely healthy. Come from a long line of centenarians. So hopefully. I can do this for many more years. My first da was a griots 6 ", and I still use it quite a bit. It's a great machine, and autogeek is a wonderful company to do business with.

I don't remove polish before sealants, but some compounds may need to remove to check your paint I don't use coatings. But do use hydro blue( I love that stuff) remember, isopropyl alcohol comes in many strengths. 50/50 mix of 10% alcohol is different than 50/50 mix with 90% alcohol.

Is that a coating or a plastic overlay like laminex? If its a plastic, don't sand. If its a detiorating coating, you will need to do a multistep sanding and then a compound/polish.

You have a pad or 2. I see.

I'm on my second gallon of this stuff. It is absolutely amazing! High gloss. And it lasts several months on daily drivers. My Porsche is garage kept. But driven regularly, and it beads like crazy after 4 months. Glass, wheels, paint plastic, looks super.

Lets see the 944 in the background. I love the 944's. I have had many, 944, 951, 944 s2, and right now I have a 968, which is my absolute favorite.

Pollen can scratch. I use a pressure washer first, then a highly lubricant soap with the GD method. Lots of wash mitts, lots of water, and water pressure to lift the pollen instead of dragging it over the paint surface. Here in southern Alabama, we live with pollen, gnats, and love bugs...

Alcohol will remove most silicones. In building fishing rods, alcohol is used to remove silicone and epoxy from the rods, and off our hands, the table, the hair in your nose, etc. I would soak them in an alcohol solution for a while, rewash them in warm water with mild detergent or microfiber...

I wash my pfm towels separate. They are fantastic. And I don't to jeopardize any of their performance.

I have never had a reaction on my paint with iron x. Wheels, yes. Paint. No. I don't think it has any effect on non ferrous particles.

I've been married to the same lucky woman for 44 years. Like you say about your wife, she is still my bestest buddy ever! Bill I've been married 26 years and look forward to spending the weekends with my wife, she's my best friend :props:

WOWA is wipe on, walk away.

I would be careful of that rubber tip. It could push dried material on the paint and cause some scratching. Even soft, it is still an abrasive material. If it worked, great. I still like the chemical removal, I think there is less chance of marring or scratching. Beautiful car. Have fun...

That's the ticket. However, it will remove wax, so be mindful of this. I use a soft small artist brush for this.

I have used quite a bit of it, and is great on daily drivers. Spring cleanup, fantastic on boats. I hope it stays in production. It is a super rv shampoo. Bill

And this why I don't coat!

I have great results with Griots Fast correcting cream and correcting cream.. Also HD Speed is another great choice. These are simple products to use, just use the Girots in the shade. Of course, all the products should be used in the shade, but HD Speed is ok to use in the driveway. Sorta.
