I like DG 501 followed by 105. Also use AW. In between I'll wipe down with DG 521 QD and never have baked-on brake dust issues. German cars are great but the brake dust is ridiculous.

First time I used a PC on Audi paint, it took a little time with OP. Started with a white pad but didn't do much. Then went orange, then white, then grey. Much better. Patience is the key and maybe making multiple passes especially with a PC. Constantly wipe off the polish residue and check your...

I've used Liquid Souveran, Clearkote Carnauba Wax, DG 105, and Danase DWG. Personally, I tend to favor the glazes and sealants over waxing silver--especially metallic flake. IMO, sealants and glazes tend to give a crisper look which really brings out the flakes. The warmer looks of wax don't...

Autogeek.net can I have a FREE DeWalt DW849!

With light colors especially metallics, it appears glazes or sealants give the best results IMHO. I like reflective lsp's to bring out the flakes as lighter colors are difficult to get that deep look. There's no sense trying to make light metallics behave like the darker blacks. Totally...

Autogeek.net can I have a Flex Rotary! Pretty please?

Sounds dirty...got any videos? Better yet, I might pay the gal in your avatar to do it.

Yeah, I'm breathing a sigh of relief too. Conducting quick details at stoplights might take the cake so far...

Figure most Geeks have at least one OCD quirk with their beloved autos. Mine is QD'ing the hood every night to remove all dust so I can look at the hood reflection while I drive. Oh, have to clean the windshield too. I also wipe down the wheels every couple of days. Guess I could have a more...

So maybe Armor All?

I usually just wipe down with ONR but was wondering what would make them look better. The Audi has almost a cloth-like wheel well covering and not sure what to apply. Thanks much.

Totally agree on 501, 105, 521 and AW. I put a shot of AW in my 521 QD and it works great. I'm going to try the 501 with a PC for grins but these products are easily applied by hand.

mine too. my audi has hardly any defects and its silver metallic so it only shows if i REALLY look hard for them. but us ocd detailers always find defects the normal person would never find. ah, the curse we carry...

collinite is a wax. dg 105 is a sealant.

i did the same thing--reliability. the pc never seems to have issues. yeah, it might be louder and rough around the edges but seems like a great polisher to learn on. especially since i'll only polish the family cars. i am looking forward to using a rotary someday. always trying to stretch the...

also from the dfw area. you will learn a ton on here. good luck with the obsession.

DG 501 with orange pad. I applied by hand and all spots, sap marks etc disappear quite easily.

I've put the sponges in the wash with the other mf's and let them air dry. Works like a champ.

I use DG 501 cleaner/polish with an orange pad. Leaves windows very smooth and water just sheets off. Top with AW and its an award winning combo.
