I spray the pads with concentrated APC and scrub them out with an old tooth brush. Actually, I found that a really good implement(s) for cleaning out pads are.... Your fingernails. "Scratching" the pads really helps to remove embedded waxes and polishes, but you'll be spending the next few...

The "as long as it fits in a box" scheme and 5 weeks delivery period seem to suggest that it's ocean freight. MyUsa uses air freight I believe.

I don't speak for AG, but I respectfully submit that you are being too hard on AG as a retailer. AG sells loose/individual items of varying shapes, sizes and weights that are combined into a box. It's difficult to predict to a degree of accuracy what this box size and shape will look like given...

As an international customer, I would really welcome surface shipping, which is an option under USPS and some freight companies. It might take 2 months or so, but I can ship gallon-sized shipments with confidence that I'm actually saving money. From the shipping perspective, mail...

I have a tub of Soft99's Authentic Premium (the premium product in the Authentic wax line now I believe) sitting in my cupboard. It's a magenta tub and I'll try to get a shot up. Authentic is a real pain to remove if you don't apply it super thin. The japlish instructions say to let the wax...

I've had mold growing in my Optimum Polish II as well, about 6 months after buying it from AG. This happened in both the original 32oz container and the small dispenser bottle that I decanted it to. The product separated as well. While I do live in a hot humid climate, none of my Meg's compound...

Poor microfiber towel =(

East Asian cultures mark the new year according to the lunar cycles, rather than the Gregorian calendar =)

To all who are celebrating the lunar new year on Monday, here's wishing you a magnificent Dragon year ahead! Happy New Year!!

The spray sealant doesn't have the durability of the DGPS in my experience.

Hi Chris, I haven't heard of the 2oz/qt dilution ratio for Opti-Clean (1:16) as a spray and wipe before. Could I ask if it's used in the same way as ONR at the QD ratio please?

Not very much higher (I think the average middle income family is about $50,000 USD a year). We're a small city-state so road space is limited and there are vehicle population controls in effect that control the number of cars that can be sold each year. The high price reflects the "bidding"...

Posted this over at Autopia Forums, so I thought I'd just post it here as well in the spirit of sharing =) ------------------------- A quick overview of the detailing scene in Singapore: 1. Cars here are really expensive because of luxury taxes and such; the average corolla runs about...

I'll second that. I've had problems waxing the warm/hot hood of a car in the shade as well. One of the tips I read was to carry a spritz bottle of chilled water and spritz the surface to cool it down before waxing.

I was wondering if I could just soak in some neat OPC and see if that works. I'm really not a big fan of gunky pads and I only have a few of each type, so I can't really afford to designate them as DG-only pads (plus they appear to have embedded dirt in the pores)

Thanks! Seems like a lot of hard work, but I guess that's why DG is so durable.

If I need to, I pre-soak at the standard 1oz/2 gal dilution, but spray till dripping wet. Not sure if that saves me ONR in the long run, but it helps to remove the loose debris like small twigs/leaves that get embedded in the wash media.

Resurrecting an old thread here,but I had a question I was hoping to get an answer to: What's the best way to remove 105/501 residue from foam pads? They're great products, but whenever I use them on contaminated paint surfaces they pull up a lot of dirt and the 105 seems to "bond" the dirt to...

Tried using GPS today by hand, has a thick oily feel to it but it worked well in covering up very fine marring. The only problem I had was that my GPS didn't atomize the way it did in Corey's video. It came out as a stream and splatted on the paint. This happened no matter which setting on the...

In my experience, the minimal amount of residue on MF towels from normal polish/wax/sealant wiping use doesn't leave a film behind, even on a front loading HE washer (like mine) that runs on room temp water (say about 85 deg F) Really gunky towels on the other hand I leave to soak in a bucket...
