I use distilled or RO for mixing I just went out and tried vinegar on the windows. I have been noticing when the windshield is wet it has a strange pattern, only where the wipers sweep. The vinegar appeared to get the water spots but when you wet the glass they reappear. You can kinda see...

I dont do any kind of waterless or rinseles washing, I live on gravel roads Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

By air dry I mean with the metro blaster air blower. I'll try a drying towel, need to order some Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

So I think the issue is the water spotting. Its all over the place, and I believe that's whats causing the microfiber cloth to drag. What is the best way to wipe down after washing to remove all the spots? Windows, paint, trim, etc. Something that wont kill my LSP? Would vinegar be a good choice?

They are the 5.5" LC foam flat pads, I have the LC 5" backing plate I got from the store here. On speed 5, I was pressing pretty hard into the polisher, and the line i marked on the back plate was spinning around pretty fast, probably 20 RPM. I did 3 test spots on the hood to arrive at the...

5.5" flat LC foams on a 5" backing plate. Arm speed is indeed 1" per second I am priming the pad with probably a quarter or a little more, then three dime size drops. Doing sections that are about 18" square Compressing the pad about halfway, backing plate is marked so I can see it's...

Ah, well then I will budget for some aggressive pads then. MF or the yellow LC pads? Is there a real difference between the orange and white lc flats? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Budget as in need to wait a few weeks before buying any more products, the recent flash sales destroyed my detailing fund for a bit! I also got the hf da instead of a pricier one since I am just a hobby detailer. I'll re attack this car in a month or so when I can purchase something else to...

I went ahead and just put a coat of 845 wax on it last night, I'll tackle it again later. If the UC didnt do much, would a one step like blackfire or HD speed be worth trying? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Is the griots FCC a lot more agressive? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Wifes car is a 2012 sonic in summit white. The paint is pretty rough, swirl city. I washed it today, then iron x, clay, and now i am trying to get it halfway decent. It doesn't need to be perfect by any means, but i do want it to look presentable. I have the HF DA polisher (on a budget) and LC...

The car was waxed a while ago, and has been washed several times since then. The collinite is still beading very strong on the horizontal surfaces, doors not so much. Also, I tried KAIO on the windshield per recommendations here, and I was not at all impressed. Is there a trick?

I am using the QD because I am on well water (iron filtered and softened, then carbon filtered) but I still get a few water spots here and there. I use it to give the whole car a good wipe down after air drying to make sure I get it all off. The collinite is only a couple months old.

So my car has two coats of Collinite 915 on it. I washed it yesterday using Megs hyper wash and the 2 bucket method and then used the blaster to dry it off. I went around the whole car and wiped it with ONR at quick detailer dilution (8oz to a gallon) and it was incredibly hard to wipe off, it...

I wanted to take a second (on Klasse Act's recommendation) to mention how easy the Collinite 915 wax is to use. I took one of the yellow pinnacle foam applicators and gave it a spritz of ONR quick detail to dampen the pad. Then I gave the pad a half twist on the surface of the wax, and went to...

I would look online for that part, install it yourself. I got a whole rear bumper cover for the wife's car for 200 bucks, came factory color. A lot of times that black trim stuff isn't too bad. Usually easy to replace, can find tutorials on YouTube. EDITED TO ADD: I found that lower bumper...

What's a new part cost?

The rag company creature edgeless towels are awesome, I have 30 of them If you want a wax, I just used collinite 915 on my car, it looks great. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Got the second coat on and the trim and windows done. Pulled it out in the sun to really scan for any swirls, looks like there are none! That collinite 915 really looks good, very very glossy and warm, makes the metallic flake really pop out Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I am going to hit it with another 915 coat for sure today Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
