I placed a order last night :(

Ok I've got my supplies in. I decided to go with DG 601/105 and follow with Collinite 845 the next day. I'll maitain with ONR and AW once a week hopefully. For the wheels I will use EX-P x 2. What CCS pads would you recommend for these steps? I read it would be best to apply #845 by hand so...

Poorboys trim restorer is amazing. I prefer to use 303 on my trim pieces, though

ahhh, I thought 360 was a mild swirl remover as well as a sealant. oh well. I've got plenty of different polishes I can use to correct it, so I'll just wait till afterward to see how it goes. At least it's good to hear it's not exactly the mitts. I'll change my wash process and get me some...

I know pinnacle is good soap so that's why I question the water. Washing her car with softened water and a two bucket method yeilded MUCH better results. I may hold out on on the ulti mit and continue with what I have (just change my process) unless someone tells me these micro fiber mitts...

I had souveran over it that was applied on the 5th. Washed 2 or 3 times since, and applied another coat yesterday until I get around to doing winter protection later this month. Swirls weren't noticeable when I got to the car after work, but I know they are there. thanks for the tip on the red...

We're having a hard time figuring it out. I do the same thing that I've always done (just one bucket) and even use a grit gaurd now and never had a problem till this summer. My friend swears to me that they used to marr his paint even when they did not marr mine. We moved a year and a half...

I've been using my Cobra Micro fiber mitts to wash cars for a few years now and we're under the belief that they are starting to marr the paint. I say this becuase I XMT 360'd the car earlier this month and it was swirl free and they're coming back. I noticed this happening in the summer, but...

Should this be washed like all other MF towels? and can you throw it in the wash with them after a detail?

I think I might start wearing one of these

I just ordered stuff to winterize my car. Went with DG601, DG105, and 845. going to use EX-P on the wheels. I'm waiting till thanksgiving weekend to do the cars. I hope it won't be too late :(

Thanks for the compliments! This really was a huge chore but it's so great to have it finished. I forgot to mention I told the builder to put a cable hookup in there so I can put a TV in there. That coupled with the beer fridge and I'll never have to leave! We'll see how long I can keep it...

When I built my house the builder told me it would cost $1100 to finish the garage. That means painting it and putting trim around the bottom. I told them that they could shove it because there was no way I was paying that much to have them paint it a color that I would just paint over nor have...

Then that settles it; they're coming inside. I left them out there last winter but I don't think any of it froze, and everything i've use since has worked fine. My temp guage on the car never came on when I would leave the garage in the morning, and it does that at 36 (it would be about 10...

Thanks. I'd looked at the Optima wash and the DP pride wash. Probably will end up going with the OER. Whats the QEW? What's a good quick detailer to use when it is freezing? i've got about 7 types: mothers, wolfgang, crystal mist, 2 types of megs, crystal mist, and poor boys spray and wipe...

Thanks for the tip on the touchless washes. I've never bene through one before so I didn't know it would be that strong. I moved up here from the south so it was not uncommon for me to be detailing in shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter. I'm just reading up on some of these rinseless...

Ok I've been looking around a bit more and it seems some are using poor boys EX for their sealant before winter. Would I get enough winter protection from this: a paint cleansing lotion like pinnacle to clean the paint off, then follow up with Poorboys EX-P (forgot I just got that), and then...

I'm about to go through my second indiana winter, and this time I'm going to be prepared. Last year I think I put a coat of Souveran on the cars and called it good, and was in for a nasty surprise. I tried valiantly to keep them clean and protected, but it was just too cold. Not this year...

thanks for the tips! I will keep these in mind for next time. The car looked GREAT in the sun. There were only a few small blemishes and small scratches that would have required something a little stronger, but I was VERY impressed with the results. Will definitly be using this again...

How much would you use to do a fairly large door? I cut down how much I was using through out the car, but it was still taking a long time to disappear and required buffing the last 10%.
