    Why the hype about water beading?

    And the question is: what product will repel water and not let it bead? Is there a durable wax or sealant that will NOT bead the water? I really don't care what most others like or assume, what I want is the real protection for my car.

    Why the hype about water beading?

    PiPUK, If you or anyone can't honestly say on public forum what product they believe works best (just because you don't pay AG an advertisement fees), then what is the use of coming here and asking questions? If you were in US and was threatened by physical violence for sharing your thoughts...

    Why the hype about water beading?

    You are absolutely right! The existing formula is simple: Marketing + Ignorant Consumer = Volume sales w/profit. Great Product (scientifically tested) + (still) Ignorant Consumer = Low volume, no business. Based on that formula, manufacturers supply a lot of crap to end users. The only hope...

    Fix for Harbor Freight DA

    His article is a good read, but I am not planning to start a detailing business anytime soon. Start-ups will have a tough time doing detailing for a living. It is not getting the equipment and registering a business, but selling the service that is most difficult for a start-up. People who...

    Autoglym resin polish ?

    I watched videos and instructions by Mike and he also suggests to set the DA on 5 to 6 speed to remove the paint defects. I have never run by buffer at anything above 4 and even at 4 I would run it just briefly and then bring it down to 3.5, but the buffer I have is a rotary (Makita) and I was...

    Autoglym resin polish ?

    As All In One you mean? I will not be using it as AIO though. They also have a paste wax at Autoglym and I may either follow their resin polish with their more expensive wax or I may follow the 'polish' with Duragloss105 synthetic wax and then apply Atoglym wax ( Not sure how would two...

    Autoglym resin polish ?

    How about Autoglym? I like the product for what I hear about it so far, but at the same time I don't want to buy just a wax and sealant. I need at least some true correction (aside from filling in the gaps on clear coat). Since everyone on car care subject advises to start with the least...

    Autoglym resin polish ?

    I was looking at M205 and #80 (also Megs). #80 is said to be more on "pure polish" side, but more often recommended for older, single coat paints (or fresh paints), whereas M205 is said to be good enough to correct tough clear coats of newer cars. This being said, car being new, I am also...

    Autoglym resin polish ?

    I found a product through online search and it's called Autoglym Resin Polish. I saw raving positive reports, but almost all of the reviews come from retail buyers who appear to own high end cars. The fact that the product has so many high ratings is great, of course. BUT, upon further...

    Please help! Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner-conditioner ruined brand new seats !

    They are better now. Took me an hour of hard work with Lexol to reduce that hideous shine on my seats. I still have residues around headsets and around center console. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

    What do you use to dry your car?

    This is my individual opinion,and in no way to argue with anyone or suggest that anyone is wrong using whatever technique works best for them. And my opinion is that there are few things as simple and easy as washing and drying a car (when compared to other things, such as claying, correcting...

    Please help! Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner-conditioner ruined brand new seats !

    The product is labeled as leather cleaner and conditioner. It neither cleaned nor conditioned my seats. But it left greasy residue and gave my brand new seats a shine that would be expected of Armorall, but not of Meguiar's. Over 50% of the buyer reviews of the product on Amazaon are ONE STAR (...

    Please help! Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner-conditioner ruined brand new seats !

    What megs rep posted had nothing to do with solving my problem. I came here after rubbing my seats with Lexol for over an hour and after reading consumer reviews of Meguiar's Gold Class rich leather cleaner conditioner wipes online ( you can do the same if you type and search in Google...

    My first actual detail...

    You will get most of the bugs on your front bumper after driving on interstate highway (where they hit your car at above 60 miles an hour). Speaking from my past experience only, I will say that the better/the cleaner you maintain your car's surface the easier it will be to remove anything off...

    My first actual detail...

    Megs Ultimate Quick Wax is extremely easy to apply and wipe off. Did you spray too much of a product ? Did you work under direct sunlight? Or, rather, did you work under very cold weather conditions? Watermarks are the stain. Some of the toughest stain you will ever encounter are watermarks...
