    Strongest Correcting AIO

    I have not yet tried McKee's 37 Jeweling Wax. Every time it's in my cart I come up with an excuse to remove it. Typically when I two-step a car I finish with M205 and then eventually apply a wax or sealant. I view McKee's Jeweling Wax as a "show car prep" sort of product that aids in getting...

    McKee's 37 Xtreme Iron Remover Review | Used On Mobile Detail With No Hose Access.

    Great demonstration! I have a bottle of McKee's 37 Iron Remover in my cabinet that will get some use soon. :) Just curious, how did you clean tires? A couple days ago I worked over my wheels and tires without a hose or running water. I used McKee's 37 Tire and Rubber Rejuvenator to clean the...

    Maintaining Wheelwork

    It is holding up fine. When I'm done with all of my brushes I thoroughly rinse them out with water. I've only been using the one-inch brush for a few months and have only noticed maybe a hair or two fall out occasionally, but not enough to be a bother... yet. :)

    Strongest Correcting AIO

    My go-tos right now are Griot's Garage Boss Finishing Sealant and McKee's 360. Both products, when combined with a Lake Country orange medium cutting pad and a Flex 3401 or Boss G15, turn out wonderful results. I only have a handful of uses with McKee's 360, so I can't speak too much about it...

    Maintaining Wheelwork

    Yesterday I had a chance to clean the wheelwork on my Challenger. Once a week I perform a traditional wash on all four corners, but this time I decided to do something a bit different. Using McKee's Tire and Rubber Rejuvenator and N-914 I was able to perform maintenance cleaning of the wheel...

    Non regretful detailing product purchase

    They're great bags. I keep exterior tools in the Wolfgang bag and interior tools in the BlackFire bag. Good stuff.

    Cleaning Crevices

    Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I think a credit card and thin microfiber towel will work adequately. I was doing prep work to get the customer's vehicle ready for a two-step refinishing job and removing residual dirt from all of those crevices was bugging me. Thank you again!

    Cleaning Crevices

    I'm curious how others reliably clean out crevices and seams (like between adjacent panels) when doing rinseless or waterless washes. I missed some spots on the car I'm working on and it's been bugging me all day. When I caught it I used D114 and a flagged brush to remove the some of the dirt...

    What to buy?

    Joe, that is great information! I'll keep this in mind the next time I use the product. Today I started working on a Charger but I cleaned the tires before reading your post. On my next one I'll use the McKee's tire rejuvenator and I'll definitely try out your suggestions. Thanks again!

    How to Rinseless Wash Glass

    To get in tight or difficult-to-reach areas I use a paint stirring stick and wrap a microfiber towel around the end. It's not fancy, but it works. I do something similar for wheel barrels - wrap a microfiber towel around the handle of a wheel woolie to dry leftover rinse water and remove loose...

    What to buy?

    My first gallon of that Mckee's product was a dud. I tried it on several sets of tires and the stuff just wouldn't do anything - it didn't "foam up," remove blooming, or do much of anything except act like water. I called Auto Geek and they happily sent out another gallon and this one works much...

    How to Rinseless Wash Glass

    Hello everyone, For a long time I could not figure out how to clean exterior and interior glass. Every video, article, pointer, tip, trick, chemical, towel, and whatever else just didn't give me the results that I desired. Well, I finally found a procedure that produces a result that matches my...

    Rinse or wipe down engine bay?

    Just like the other folks who commented, I wipe down the engine bay on my personal vehicle consistently so dirt build-up doesn't get bad. I use BlackFire or Ultima waterless wash and always get good results. Several soft brushes and a few towels are normally enough to thoroughly clean all of the...

    Flex PE8 Kompakt Rotary? Not designed for polishing paint.

    I vaguely recall hearing mention (that's hearsay) that one of the reasons why the Flex PE-8 spins at high RPM is to dissipate heat. I rarely, if ever, go beyond the second speed setting. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Rinseless Wash BETA Testers Needed

    Yep, I'm thinking about my finite supply of D114 and patiently waiting for this. :)

    BOSS pads vs B&S Low Pro

    I believe Griot's Garage makes their own pads. The Boss foam pads are great. I use the orange pad the most to help remove haze or micro-marring inflicted by the Boss microfiber pad. The yellow pads are good too. When used with the Perfecting Cream one can achieve an even greater finish on an...

    Think you don't need Iron-X,think again

    This is good information. I strongly dislike the smell of IronX and other sprayable, ferrous-disolving products. How does the IronX soap smell? Is it as vile and putrid as normal IronX? I hope not.

    Still crazy about D114

    Your post title reminds me of Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years." Also, D114 is the real deal. I use it for practically everything. It's great as an aid at removing compound and polish residue.
