    So Many To Choose

    I agree those towels are not for waterless washes. Great for everything else though. I loke the 600 and have plenty of them but I also like CG's Sasquatch Maximus. Try a couple of those next WW.

    Review: Meguiars Wheel Brightner

    Where were you eight years ago when I screwed up my BMW's wheels? I thought I heard chuckling coming from the bushes that day. Lol

    Review: Meguiars Wheel Brightner

    Careful what you say. Bare aluminum is highly reactive with certain alkaline cleaners. I know a thing or two about electro plating aluminum and one of the first steps in the process is etching the metal in an alkaline cleaner. Aluminum is rather inert in many acids. That being said, brown...

    CarPro Hydro2 vs Permanon Platinum

    I appreciate the tips but I did try what you suggested. Every time I applied it i was in my garage under shop lights. Sorry if my sun light comment made it seem different. At first I thought I was waiting to long to spray it off, although I was only doing a panel at a time, so I tried to spray a...

    CarPro Hydro2 vs Permanon Platinum

    That's it. It is hard to describe because it's not a typical streak mark. It's kind of blotchy and really shows up in sun light. The first car i applied it to looked like it had leopard skin spots. It can be buffed out but that's a pain. I tried every method of applying with some being better...

    CarPro Hydro2 vs Permanon Platinum

    I have used both and prefer Permanon. Hydro2 gives a very glassy look and wins in that category but every car I used it on would have a weird streaking pattern left on the paint. You can only see it on dark colored cars but it is a pain in the butt and has to be buffed out. I tried many...

    So Many To Choose

    I have soooo many different microfiber towels. AG's are ok but there are better ones out there. I'm actually surprised AG doesn't carry a better line of towels since they carry so many awesome products. A microfiber I am really liking right now is called BOA. Google it and try a couple...

    Understanding Orange Peel

    Thanks for the info. I'll live with the orange peel since the paint is otherwise flawless. One quick question. I have a 1970 Corvette that had a re-paint in 1990. Is it possible to measure the paint thickness on a fiberglass car?

    Understanding Orange Peel

    This is an interesting post. All of my new Audi's (3 of them) have a lot of orange peel in some areas and, for those of us who know every inch of our cars, it bugs the hell out of me. Especially since I paid a big up-charge on a premium paint for my last one. Anyways, why is it always in the...

    Has anyone tried Car Spunk Wax

    Worst name ever! I haven't tried it and i don't think I want any kind of spunk on my hands.

    Did anyone buy..

    Certainly. AutoGeek might as well just hold a gun to me and say give me all your money but keep 15%. I ordered: Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Pro - really want to see it layered with purple haze pro Dodo juice home brew kit - I'm running out of waxes to buy so I need to create new ones. CR...

    Best wax ever

    In keeping with what I'm preaching here are a few more recommendations for you. Sovereign - great wet looking wax on all colors, especially black. Super easy on and off. Durability is poor, but has a nice smell. Fuzion - not good on black IMO. Gives a gloss but nothing else. However, red...

    Anybody else make their own water?

    I don't know if that is true. I have a hose on my dehumidifier running to a basement drain and the water has left a sediment trail on my cement. Pure water wouldn't do that.

    Best wax ever

    No one said it adds nothing to the looks. It will add something, but nothing like what a polish would do. Um, if you go back to your first post here you say exactly that. Wax is only for protection, remember. True, waxes/sealants will not protect against all elements, but it's better to have...

    Best wax ever

    You guys keep missing the point. This thread was started by someone asking which waxes are awesome. No where did anyone solicite how, where, when, or what makes paint pop or shine. I don't know why some of you respond to posts if all your going to do is ignore the question and start lecturing...

    dish soap

    There's been some debate as to whether Dawn actually does anything I terms of removing LSPs. I personally think it will remove waxes due to the nature of the chemicals, but sealants and other products are questionable. When I really want to clean my paint I'll use a paint cleaner (DP's new one...
