    Is pre soaking ONR really necessary???

    But then again, I use the Gary Dean method with a dripping soppingly wet towel and it works just fine with no drag whatsoever. Of course, there are limits to a no-rinse wash. In the Winter you can get a coating of dried on dirt and salt. I'm not going to attack that with a simple no-rinse. I...

    Do luxury brand cars have more paint coatings?

    I recall working on Ferraris back in the "old" days (e.g. 50s) and they had more filler than aluminum in the bodywork! <TED>

    Paint thickness gauges

    The newer model of this is the cm8802fn. I can't say that it is materially better since it is the only version that I own, but I can say that I have been really surprised and pleased with its performance. <TED>

    Help me choose a quick detailer

    I would recommend Final Inspection based on your desire to add nothing. However, since you are waxing with Carnauba, you might try Pinnacle Waterless Wash. It does leave something behind, but it is a bit of Carnauba which would probably be useful if you are going to do this every day. <TED>

    How Good Is Pinnacle Sovereign Paste Wax?

    It lasts a lot better than that! It's benefit is its unique look - which I happen to like. It is not a long lasting wax, though, at least not in the sense of something like Collinite. Just how long it will last will depend a lot on the environment in which it operates - which makes it hard to...

    Spray sealants?

    As a stand alone, my choice would be Blackfire Crystal Seal. Some might quibble about it as a "true" spray on because it is technically a WOWA, but you spray it on, spread it out and walk away. You will have to do something very similar using any spray on sealant. I've had good luck with...

    Why isn't there any women do Detailing?

    My wife is happy to help me work on cars. Not just detailing either! We once started looking for a larger house. After several months of looking, she decided we really didn't need a new house - we need a six car garage! Unfortunately, we can't add on any more garage space where we live...

    Do you all wash a detail spray rag after one use?

    I always put them in the wash rack(s) once I have used a towel for anything. I have a cabinet with a bunch of racks in it. 4 of the racks are for storing dirty towels of various sorts. When I get a number of dirty towels of a particlular type, I wash them. The exception is towels containing...

    Heat & humidity messing with compounds?

    Yeah, in hot weather you have to mist a lot of compounds before they dry out... I keep a spray bottle next to me for the purpose.

    DP Road Kill Bug Scrubber

    I bought half a dozen of them from AG last year. I give them to any member of my family who will stand still - they are that good. (Unfortunately, my family tends to run when they see me coming so I still have 3 for myself!)
