I've had good results on emblems with Klasse AIO. Also does a nice job on stuff like door jambs, and wells around the trunk and engine bay.

That looks great! Hmm. I think you helped me decide what to do with that Pinnacle coupon I just got :-) .... Thanks for the pix.

Yep, my previous attempts at pad cleaning have been as you described. Soak 'em in cleaner mixed in a bucket. Rinse. A lot. Didn't work completely, so now use Dawn. Rinse. A lot. The Blackfire cleaner sounds Much nicer. Thanks again for posting your results, and the photos. And kudos to...

Sounds great; thanks for the info about rinsing. ruh-roh. Sorry to hear about the cracked bottle. Mine showed a small amount of leakage on the bottom of the shipping box; I'd better go make sure the bottle isn't cracked. I just figured maybe the cap was slightly loose and there was some...

Nice. Makes me glad I ordered some on BOGO. Thank you for the pix. Is it, I hope, easy to rinse out of the pads? I've tried various methods of pad cleaning, and some of them had me rinsing for a LONG time.

Excellent news. Thank you for the replies and information.

You guys are about to make me try 501/601/105. I understand the theory of the 601 bonding agent. However, if one were (for whatever reason) wanting to add second layer of 105 (old school, not mixing the 601 with it) ... would one apply a second coat of 601 (before the second coat of 105)? Or...

My first thought was "condor", too, Infinitiman. heh. Good point on being inside the car. Shrapnel .....

Thanks for confirming that I'm not the only one. heh. Nicholas, you must be very proud. Way to start him off right. Bet you wish you had a camera at that moment.

I blame all of you for this. :-) Doing normal household stuff, I keep seeing swirl marks that need to be corrected, or trim (trim-like material, anyway) that needs to be dressed .... on things that certainly are not cars, motorcycles, RVs, boats, etc. A couple of examples: Walk by the...

Thank you, Buckskincolt. I appreciate the feedback. Having dropped a slab of clay and having to throw it away, I also like the idea of being able to rinse off the Speedy Towel if I am that clumsy again. Which I probably will be. Good point on the extra lube. I mixed some up from ONR, so I...

Ouch. Somebody get that car a band-aid. :-) Excellent thought. I just watched the ReLoad vid from the product page in AG's store. Wow. Nice. I wonder how that silica-based coating would fare on top of other types of coatings? Polymer, acrylic, whatever ...

Great point on breaking it in on glass. I need to clay my windows anyway. :-). Thank you for the info on hand speed.

Good comparison, with the air dried bath towels. I'm still searching for one of those brushes. Thanks for checking on the soapy residue question.

Very interesting. Sounds like the OC is maybe holding on to more contaminants than clear coat? ... but the good news is, it's on the OC and not your clear. It'd be interesting to know if topping the OC with a wax or something would have lessened the contaminant buildup. I know it may not be...

From watching Mike's videos, I learned I've been moving too slowly when claying my car using a clay bar. When using the Speedy surface prep towel alternative instead of a clay bar ... what's best practice? Fast hand speed as Mike demo-ed on the clay? Seems like that might be kinda rough on...

Well, rats. I ran across a couple of places while working on my car yesterday and thought, hey, that extender I saw on the webcast would certainly be handy right here. Thank you for the info and the quick response, Ryan.

Watching the Thursday night webcast, I saw one of the guest detailers using an extension on a buffer which allowed him to hold the machine several inches further away from the finish. He was using a smaller backing plate (3 inch, 4 inch?). Not sure if he was using a Flex or a DA. I'm hoping...

Thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions. I was talking about the flexible, smooth seals that run around most of the door well opening, and the same material that runs around the doors on the inside... i.e. not visible when the door is closed. Same type of material is around...

Do you need to pre-clean the door seals before applying DG531? If so ... OPC? Vinyl/Leather Cleaner?
