    APC Rank by Cleaning Power (Strength)

    Hi everyone, How would you rank the raw cleaning power/strength of the following (yes, I got that TAW and OPC are paint safe, provided they are not left to dry) - to break up grime from engines, jambs, tools, etc? This is what "I" think, but would appreciate other's views: Strongest to...

    Pressure washer advice

    If u don't mind my piggybacking on this thread, I have always wondered.....since I imagine a pressure washer will strip protectin, shoud it only be used for full details and not maintenance washes? I am in the market fo one, too.

    Detail method /customer vehicle care

    Totally agree with this. Fyi Zep Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser (whcih you can pick up for about $12/gallon at Home Depot) will clean your tires very well. I use it all the time, with a foaming sprayer, for this purpose. +1 on using meguiars apc 10:1 ratio or meguiars quick interior detailer for...

    Poorboy's White Diamond & Black Hole

    I thought you can top a glaze (like PB BH or CG EZ Creme - Acrylic) with a sealant (e.g BFWD) and get the bonding.

    How to use the Gilmour Foam Gun?

    I would say the amount of soap you use should lessen at the higher foam settings (e.g., D) - since you will be using more per squeeze - and greater at lower dilution ratios (e.g. B) - since you will be using more hose water and less mix form the GFG II. That said, I believe the GGII bottle is...

    How to safely remove a dried bird dropping

    Since I am not 'rubbing', but blotting/lifting instead, I use older and cheaper MFs for this purpose. Just wash em' when you're done...IMO

    Thank you vm. Fyi, I use and am a fan of UWW+ - have been ever since I read Corey's write-up and tried it for myself. Great stuff! Never tried ONR yet.

    My washing process - why do I get water spots?

    I think perhaps the key is not to let a panel air dry - blot it with a towel right after rinsing on really hot days. Alternatively, keep re-wetting already washed sections while moving on to others, then dry at the end. Did you spray the panel directly with V7 or did you spray the MF then...

    Is this all I need to get started applying wax to my car?

    Welcome to AGO! Your post specifically inidicated 'wax'. With that, I suggest getting a couple of Black or Blue LC flat pads. Also, I suggest going with 5.5" not 6.5".

    Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 - It's Here and it Impresses

    I agree, this is good stuff. Truth be told, though, I cannot say for sure it works better than Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray Sealant (also a spray QD+selant) or the new forumula 'BF Wet Diamond Polymer Spray '.

    are you enjoying car detailing? If not, try OPC - All mighty power clean

    Mark & Bobby - do you guys really like it better than Meg's APC+? I am pretty sure OPC costs more than APC+, yet have never done a comparison. For the record, I use APC+ for all sorts of cleaning, like the OP did here with OPC :)
