I really continue to like P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo. It's made out of some kind of cosmetic-grade granola stuff like wheat germ. Although it is all natural, I wouldn't recommend eating it ;) It is, however, really gentle. It's usage is modest at 2 - 3 capfuls per bucket (~1 oz...

The impact driver is THE tool for driving screws and such, especially things like drywall or deck screws. A decent one will easily have enough power to snap the screws in two or split the wood. They develop more torque than a 1/2" driver for sure. I am not familiar with DeWalt's latest but...

I'm sure others more knowledgeable can comment, but be careful with prep and material compatibility. Quite a number of years ago, I tried this method on clearcoat failures, and they worked, but only temporarily. After a few years, the paint crazed.

For fabric: Cleaner: Tequipment Convertible Top Wash Shampoo and Cleaner Protectant: Reggtopp Fabric Convertible Top Protectant, Aerosol Vinly Window: Tequipment Polyglass Window Cleaner (Intensive) and Plexus (Regular) The Raggtopp is a must. Vastly better than 303, Tequipment, and other...

I would give another vote for the rubber hose if weight is not an issue. They are very flexible, especially useful when it's cold. I have a natural redish color one in my front yard that is at least 5 years old, and it is as flexible as new. Zero coiling. I would give two big thumbs down...

Lexol is pretty weak IMO. Griot's Leather Rejuvinator is better. I haven't tried LeatherMasters. My first preference is Leatherique, but this really requires a leather that is more porous/open and doesn't have a plastic coating. The absorption is also highly temperature dependent. On a hot...

Thanks for the write-up. I am a traditional garden hose car washer, so these waterless and no-rinse posts are really interesting with actual pictures of the results (especially daily drivers). Thanks, also, for the Fuzion and Souveran comparison. I also just started using FK #425 and like...

Thanks for sharing your pictures and technique. It spawned some good discussion. Those Costco MF towels are now on sale for less than $10 for 36. That's practically free. I have better MF towels (i.e. Cobra), but for the price, they are great for a daily driver. I also consider them...

LOL: Will Autogeek price-match Wolfgang and with the 20%? I find it a bit frustrating that the prices and promotions vary across all (4) sites.

Came out great! Reminds me of our '97 Accord.

:iagree: In my limited experience, I would say that 2 oz is likely just enough for a wax, especially if applied by machine. If by hand, then should be no problem. Products that are more like thick lotions tend to use more than thinner ones in my experience. Application rates vary wildly...

Thanks, Andrew, for all your efforts in performing the tests and in posting your results. I have been using P21S Concours over Klasse AIO/SG as my usual regimen, and have been considering Fuzion, so your results are particularly relevant to me.

Autogeek please pick me to win!! Also, would like to try all the many uses of ONR.

Great write-up. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly when using a Porter Cable style DA Polisher Thanks! Found some links and pics :)

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly when using a Porter Cable style DA Polisher Thanks, Wills! That's a great response. Every 2 passes (or so) matches what Mike Phillips was saying in a related thread on swirl removal, so I'll try that when using a compound. And with AIO, then I'm...

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly when using a Porter Cable style DA Polisher "In an effort to..." I never said I used the whole bottle nor what size bottle. What I'm looking for are recommendations. I'm seeing videos of equipment like the Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer along with...

I used the included pad as a "white" pad, i.e., for pre-wax cleaners or all-in-ones. It may not be as "fancy" as a Lake Country CCS, etc., but it worked well for me on daily drivers. According to another site, it has a gentle cleaning action and can be used for a variety of polishing and...

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly when using a Porter Cable style DA Polisher Mike, I finally found this GREAT thread to help me with this technique. (Mine is a PC 7424.) Can you or others give some guidance on how often to clean the pad? I would imagine the first answer is it...

Based on CEE DOG's photos, I would guess that the leather is coated. It looks rather splotchy and does not really absorb in--generally shiny. Mine does not look like that at all. On mine, I can apply it on a hot day really slathering it on, and by the time I have one application, the Rejuv...
