    Best Car wax for white cars ?

    I have a car with a very similar color. So far my favorite looking LSP on this car has been Opti-Seal. I'm sure most other spray type sealants will provide very similar results. IMO carnaubas seems to change the color a little, yellowing it. I haven't tried a lot of them, just spray Souveran...

    Being tested tomorrow must bring A game

    Just don't go too overboard and kill yourself for the amount of money you are charging. If you provide a $400 detail for $150, that is what will be expected of you in the future from this customer.

    Polish, Wax/Sealant

    Or just order $50 worth of other stuff and get a free sample of WDGPS. That's what I did and I can say after doing my GFs car, there's enough to do at least 2 cars per sample. With the amount of stuff I order and the durability of the product, I think I'll be able to just live off samples.

    Review: Optimum Eraser

    I just used my fine Eraser for the first time this weekend. I had some iron particulates on my rear hatch and some unidentifiable stuff (dark grey marks I had tried to remove a few times, I was convinced it was a paint defect) on the paint. I tried to get everything off first with Griots clay...

    THE best paint sealant?

    I'm a big fan of Opti-Seal just because of the combination of ease of use and looks. But for all out looks I'm really looking the WDGPS that I put on my gfs black car. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

    Post your favorite Glass Cleaner??

    ONR 32:1 The only glass cleaner I have used that doesn't leave streaks everywhere. But I am also terrible at cleaning glass, so even well regarded glass cleaners don't work well for me.

    Color specific waxes and sealants

    I will say that in my experience, some waxes look best on certain colors. For example, the car in my avatar is a blue with a ton of metal flake in it. Souveran looks good on the car, but it seriously deepens the color of the paint and mutes the flake. DP Max Wax looks great too, but it allows...

    Question about applying IronX

    The back bumper of my Focus hatchback attracts so much iron based contamination it's insane. A month ago I used the normal IronX and the paste for some spots that survived the initial treatment. I checked when I washed last night and the back is covered again. Probably 2-3 spots per square inch...

    Question about applying IronX

    I have used IronX by just spraying it on and also by spreading it. It definitely gets better coverage when it's spread out. I just used yellow applicator dampened with water. I want to say I used about 1/4 of the bottle for my car which is a 4 door hatch.

    Lake Country Pad Question

    I got some of the CCS pads with my GG6 polisher. I have used the blue and white a few times and it seems to work well enough. However, my blue pad has lost all it's little pockets and is now a flat pad, they all came out when I was using a pad brush to clean the pad after waxing.

    Meg's white wax

    Tried it on the hood my metallic white focus. It had minor swirls in the hood from the dealer, haven't polished the car yet. Used my GG6 and a white LC flat pad to apply. Worked it like a normal polish and it didn't remove any defects, but it did look nice. I can't say it was nice enough to be...

    My Opti-coat 2.0 impressions/questions

    Since this just popped up I'll ask my question here vs starting a new thread. My gf just got a black car and the issue I am most concerned with is waterspot etching. Here in FL during the summer, it will rain every day for a little bit, then go back to baking heat and full sun. That will burn...

    DP microfiber cleaner

    I have used this for a long time, grabbed some more on bogo also. I usually use at least an oz in my HE washer and have never had an issue cleaning dirty towels. Try a little more next time and you should get different results. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

    New Car: 2013 Dodge Dart

    Sorry I didn't break it down. I used the 1z on the whole interior since everything is plastic. 303 was for all exterior plastics. 303 works well on interior plastics as well I just usually use something that leaves a pleasant scent behind. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

    New Car: 2013 Dodge Dart

    For this: foam gun, two bucket, shmitt and guzzlers to dry I do a lot of ONR and ONRWW on my car, so this will probably get the same. For her getting a black car I'm making her buy me a MasterBlaster Sidekick. I figure the less I touch the paint the better.

    New Car: 2013 Dodge Dart

    So my gf just bought a new car today, of course it had to be black, even though I told her there's a reason my DD isn't black. Told the dealer not to wash it so we could avoid as much DISO as possible. There are some very light swirls here and there and a few spots that looked like someone...

    Scratching the car with Rinseless/Waterless wash?

    I use ONR on both my cars as a quick way to keep them clean between regular washes. I pretreat with a spray bottle with 32:1 ONR and use really plush MFs to wipe the panels down. One car is white and I haven't seen any increase in marring over the light dealer swirls I haven't fixed yet. The...
