    Help Needed with EZ Auto Detailing Brush

    Need some help using the brush. I like the long reach for inside the rim spokes but every time I pull out the brush, it flicks brake dust all over. Works a little better immersed with car soap but the flicking drives me crazy and covers me in wet brake dust spots. Wondering if there's a simple...

    Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR)

    if you onr outside i'd prescribe to the washing panels and drying. if in the garage you can do the entire car as it won't evaporate beforehand. love the onr for rinseless washing and spot cleaning. the qd mix doesn't leave paint very glossy or smooth. always top with a designated qd for added...

    Flex versus PC Video

    not doubting the power of the flex vs. pc but i'd like a comparison with the pc using 4" pads. certainly works much better than the 5.5 or 6.5 inch pads...

    EZ Detail Brush?

    Anyone used this? If so, how does it hold up? Looks promising especially for the hard to reach back of rims. In the market for a new wheel brush and haven't been wowed by anything so far. Penny for your thoughts...maybe two.

    Glass polishing pads?

    I agree. But hopefully we've all tried stuff that didn't measure up but still alerted our forum buddies to prevent them from making mistake purchases. Thanks for trying it out. I'm beginning to think that glass is meant to be clean but cannot allow scratches or small pits to be polished out...

    Duragloss 501 Marine and RV polish

    Love DG 501 and it will remove some light swirls/scratches with a white pad. Great AIO. Have mixed with OP for extended working time. Terrific prep for a sealant/wax. Have used on silver and black with equal results. Also excellent on wheels and glass. Goes on and wipes off easy. Very...

    Glass polishing pads?

    Has anyone tried these? I've used 4" orange/white pads with a PC but wondering if these work better with an AIO (I use DG 501).

    Sunglasses

    Maui Jim's have the best lenses IMHO. Awesome for driving. Great glare cutters--especially here in Texas. Look to spend at least $170. Cannot bang 'em around though--at least the wire templed ones I have. If you do ruin them, Maui Jim will give a full replacement for $60.

    Wolfgang 3.0 Does it Again

    I didn't get any dusting from the TSR but the glaze dries too quickly for my taste. Mixed in a little OP and voila, dusting gone. The glaze isn't as nice as DWG though.

    Danase Wet Glaze

    according to manufacturer, its about 20 minutes or so. apply thinly to entire car, work in until nearly invisible and then go back and remove. that should be enough time for curing.

    Wolfgang 3.0 Does it Again

    Recently tried Wolfgang 3.0 Total Swirl Remover on my son's 2000 VW Passat. Used a PC with 4" orange and white pads. Given the hard VW paint, the process was fairly easy and came out great. As stated many times on this forum 4" pads with a PC is a must as 5.5" pads didn't do trick for paint...

    Polishing windows

    Yes you can absolutely clay windows. Normally its just the windshield that's needed as it receives the most debris. Leaves the glass silky smooth.

    Polishing windows

    DG 501 is my go-to polish on glass. Hand apply, wipe off and leaves the glass oh so smooth. Even better, try claying it first. Rain just flies off when driving.

    Can I have too many products?

    I "think" most of the posting are tongue in cheek regarding not having enough but I'd never bet against the folks in here who have to have to latest and greatest. I've used just about everything with the goal of trying to limit future purchases to my absolute favorites. Looked at my detail table...
