    anyone useing onr v3 as a qd?

    From the Autogeek product description - "Add 8 ounces of No Rinse Wash & Shine to a gallon of water to make an excellent quick detailer." I use ONR as my rinseless wash, but I'm really liking UWWP as my waterless wash and quick detailer. UWWP also works well as a bug remover.

    Iron-X For OC2.0 Prep

    Since I was applying Iron X to the entire car, I washed the car first to remove all the dirt and d. I then applied Iron X (I dried the car prior to application) and let it work for a few minutes. I used a foam pad to agitate the areas which had the most rail dust. I then washed it again (with...

    Iron-X For OC2.0 Prep

    I can confirm Iron X does indeed remove rail dust. I worked on a white BWM which had a good amount of rail dust on the trunk and top of the car. I tried claying it first with little improvement. I used Iron X (spray and gel). I found the Iron X spray to work better and it was much easier to...

    XMT 360 AIO comments.

    I've been impressed with XMT 360 AIO. I have been topping it with Optimum Car Wax. Vehicle I did in May. It's daily driver which lives outside 24x7 and had never been waxed or polished. I used Griot's DA and XMT 360 with LC orange pads. Topped with Optimum Spray Car Wax. The owner...

    Rinse before quick detailer?

    1 oz of product to 2 gallons of water to make the ONR solution. After re-reading it, I can see why it is confusing.

    Rinse before quick detailer?

    Look at using Optimum No Rinse (ONR) and Ultima Waterless Wash Plus (UWWP) ONR and UWWP are my go to products when water restrictions are in effect in my area and a traditional wash is not an option. I use a Home Depot 1 gallon sprayer filled with an ONR solution to presoak each panel. I use a...

    new guy with paint troubles

    I'd look at Iron X spray for paint decontamination. I was very impressed at how well it worked. I only had to clay one area of the vehicle after Iron X because it worked so well. Check out the polishing videos by Mike Phillips. He provides great advice and instruction on how to get the best...

    wax

    I'd go with Optimum Car Wax (OCW). Since it is a spray, it easy to apply (spray on and wipe off), has good longevity, and produces a great shine. For me, it's as easy as using a quick detail spray. It also contains UV protection so I use it on my exterior trim as well, and it does not stain...

    Brand New Car - Never Fully Detailed before

    Hi from a fellow South Texan!! Here is what I do to keep a black C6 clean and looking good in South Texas. I prefer a traditional wash but with the ever present water restrictions it's not always an option. Ultima Waterless Wash Plus (UWWP) for maintaining between washes. I really like UWWP...

    New Honda's and kids!

    Given the time constraints, I would look at using Optimum Car Wax (OCW). It is a spray, and I have found it as easy to use as quick detail spray. You can use it after every wash or as needed. It is a very quick way to maintain the look of your car. It does contain UV protection so I also use...

    Pads

    Actually, a LC yellow pad would suffice as a glass polishing pad. Like Mike mentioned just make sure you don't mix it with paint pads (if you have other yellow pads)

    Pads

    To be able to use 5.5" pads if you decide to go this route. The 5.5" flat 7/8" thick pads are very easy to use and work with. I have a Griot's polisher, and I've only used the 6" backing plate once with the correct pad. It is much easier to learn, control, and use the polisher with 5.5"...
