I have seen of few of you pros post pics with those cool stripes in the carpet but I have never done it. I was watching a video, I think AMMO NYC on YouTube and he said to use a brush so today I thought I'd try. I am finishing a long detail process on the car and finally got around to the...

I haven't used many but just picked up Griots and LOVE it.

Thanks for the replies guys, and I agree on my daily driver, I wouldn't mind. But on a car that you can no longer find parts for, if you ruin a computer it is much more than an expensive mistake, it may render it useless so I will not take the chance even if there is a small possibility, no...

This was always my thought and why I started the thread, I guess I was thinking if you start using spray wax regularly then it basically does become your "wax" of choice. What I didn't realize is that it would remove/dissolve whatever the wax under it. I knew a cleaner wax would but didn't...

Aaaahhhhhhh, say it ain't so :D

Did not know that, I thought it was pretty potent at removing wax, that probably why I got the result I did.

Best thing I have found for removing actual oil is brake cleaner. Obviously you have to be very careful about overspray, breathing it, and if the surface you are spraying won't be harmed, but you literally spray it at the oil and it eats it away. I only have done this on my daily driver that...

That does seem like definitive proof...Maybe I need to do my test again with a hose instead of a spray bottle :dunno:

So I was thinking about cleaning my engine and all the parts under there but was wondering what to use. For the most part it is very clean and I certainly do not ever want to spray it with a hose as some folks do (too chicken :D) Everything I find on cleaning engine areas is spraying APCs or...

Interesting thoughts! I guess I'm in the camp that the big companies that make the spray waxes "hopefully" have done a bunch of R&D to be able to make the statement that the spray wax is in fact a "booster" that extends coverage of base wax. Now I realize this is me being completely trusting...

Is beading an accurate measure? The reason I ask is b/c I used an IPA wipedown on a panel and then "tested" it by spraying it with water from a spray bottle and it beaded just fine. I guess it is possible that I didn't get all the wax off but I used a heavy concentration and did it multiple...

Thanks for all the replies. So "in theory" you would never have to apply wax again if you had a garage queen and used a good spray wax once a week. Seems very interesting to me b/c I HATE waxing a car with the old haze/buff waxes. In fact I dislike it so much that I ordered Pinnacle Soveuran...

I've recently started using spray wax , Griot's Spray Wax to be precise and really like how easy it is to use. I know these waxes are "boosters" but I can not find exactly how long they should be "boosting" wax. I know this is dependent on several factors like daily drivers vs. garage queens...

I don't see how if you used all the soap, pre-rinse, 2 BM, etc. it inflicted all that damage, that seems like the correct and ultra-safe way to wash a car. Could the "damage" just be in the coating you applied and not actually in the paint?

Wow the afters looks amazing, so much more "pop", bet she loved the gift!

First off, the paint on this car.....WOW.... Ok, I know I'm bringing up an old thread but there is too much good info in it that I learned and I feel that this would be the best place to ask the question for future people that might want to know. This article seemed to address everything...

Well I just ordered it so I'll see how it does, hoping I'm as wowed as all the others...

If I could ask a question here, when you top a wax with say Souveran, do you get as good of results then say if you stripped everything off and just used the Souveran? The reason I ask is I have just waxed my car with Mother's Pure Brazilian Carnauba but it was more work then I wanted so I"m...

Thanks!

Just got done compounding, polishing, waxing and spray waxing and grabbed my cell phone to snap a few pics, too dark to take it outside:
