    I woke up this morning to white sand/dust on my car. What happened?

    Lol, you're right. But I've lived here 10 years, and this is the first time I actually noticed this happening. I described it as sand-like, but it's very fine. Very odd that this is the first time I paid attention and noticed it. It was just poor timing I guess.

    I woke up this morning to white sand/dust on my car. What happened?

    I should have checked other cars near, but I only looked at mine and my wife's. Both had the same dusting, and I washed both cars yesterday. I didn't think I used a lot of product, so who knows? Honestly, it's the white dust/sand that's in the window trim that made me think I used too much...

    I woke up this morning to white sand/dust on my car. What happened?

    I washed my car yesterday via 2BM, and used Liquid Sovereign Spray Wax for the first time. Today, I woke up to a white sand-like dust on the top of my car, and in my window trim as well. There was also some of what seemed to be ash as well. I QD'd the roof of the car, so everything is fine...

    Can I get a quick rundown of where the major coatings are manufactured?

    It's just CQuartz that's made in Japan, as far as I know. The rest of Carpro is from Korea. You make a great point, Bob. But for the sake of my question, I'm curious where everything is "assembled." Any further than that is a rabbit hole too deep for even me.

    Can I get a quick rundown of where the major coatings are manufactured?

    I know CQuartz is manufactured in Japan, but I can't find any info on other coatings. This is simply curiosity on my part. Where are the following coatings made: Opti-Coat 22ple GTechniq Pinnacle Black Label Or any other coatings I haven't listed as well. Thanks everyone.

    On Trying New Products - For Me

    I think you've got a great idea, but the only thing I would change is the Aquawax use. I wouldn't only relegate it for door jambs. It's a great, quick sealant that also is a nice drying aid. You get a great look for minimal effort, so please consider using it for maintenance for your paint. Once...

    Is a paint cleanser necessary if you aren't going to polish?

    Just found a chart that shows that Ultimate Polish is comparable to SF-4000. I answered my own question.

    Is a paint cleanser necessary if you aren't going to polish?

    What do you think about Ultimate Polish with a HT Tangerine? I would prefer not to buy any new polish/compounds until I can use up the majority of what I have. I really have too many products that I bought on a whim, so it's time I started using them instead of just buying new things.

    Is a paint cleanser necessary if you aren't going to polish?

    The way that I'm reading this, I'd be better off doing a 1 step with m205 or ultimate polish, or something equivalent, insetadof using White Wax. That would maximize my time?

    Is a paint cleanser necessary if you aren't going to polish?

    Didn't want to make a new topic, so hopefully some responds to this. I forgot that I got some Meguiars's White Wax at Target on clearance a few months ago, so I'd like to use it on my wife's GTI next week. Do you guys think I need to bother with a paint cleanser, since it's an technically an...

    Geez that stuff really works

    I recently used this for the first time for my wheels, and it's great! I have a Ford Fiesta ST, which creates crazy amounts of brake dust. Maintenance has been a pleasure after using Hydro2 on them! I'm definitely a fan now.

    Good paste wax to top on Wolfgang DGPS?

    Not sure how it would look on top of DGPS, but I like Max Wax on several top of several other sealants I've tried. I feel that Max Wax is some of the best bang for buck wax there is.

    Any Audiophiles Here?

    I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, but I do use what I and many others would consider "choice" hardware for certain listening applications. For music, I have a pair of Sony MDR-V6's, which many consider to the best bang for buck studio monitor headphones for the past 25+ years. I just want...

    Is a paint cleanser necessary if you aren't going to polish?

    Thanks, Mike. Is there a fine cut polish you would recommend? I feel like using one of my go to AIO's if I did decide to actually break out the Flex, but I'm up to try new products. Normally i use Optimum Poli-Seal or Auto Finesse Tripple. I've also tried XMT 360, but found it didn't work well...

    Is a paint cleanser necessary if you aren't going to polish?

    When I clay/decon a car, I've always polished the car before applying sealant/wax. Even if it's just an AIO. Since I have been under time constraints lately, I've been considering simply doing doing a wash/decon/sealant routine. However, as I've never attempted this "simpler" route before, I...

    In need of recommendations for a good car wash soap for intense cleaning

    Instead of posting another topic, hopefully I can get answers here. I've been really interested in trying new soaps for my own car, and the main interests are Auto Finesse Lather, Dodo Juice Born to be Mild, and CarPro Reset. Does anyone have experience with these? Ideally I'd like a shampoo...

    Seems like CG CitrusWash red is the way to go. I'll get some of that. Thanks for all the recommendations, everyone. I'm always willing to field more.
