Yeah it's been going on for a while now, dunno why Autogeek hasn't advertised the sale. I couldn't pass up the 12oz of UPGP for $29.99 when I saw it a couple weeks ago.. Makes it a better deal per OZ than Opti-Seal.

Any of the Powder based pad cleaner products should do the job. Snappy pad packets are the only ones I've used but they do work very well. I'm going to try the DP Pad rejuvenator when I run out. DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator was created to provide detailers with a fast and effective way to clean...

I use microfiber towels for ONR washes and Microfiber noodle mitts (with the cuffs cut off) for traditional washes.

Call the tire shops in your area and ask them who does wheel refurbishing/repair they will know. I had a hard time finding wheel refinishers in my area on google as well. There is bound to be atleast 1 person nearby who specializes in repairing wheels. Getting the wheel repaired/refurbished...

That is AWESOME. I hope I'm not the only one who is considering covering a car in it. You should do it Corey. I don't have a video camera :laughing:

WHOA Awesome, I never win anything! Thanks everyone who did this :) I will do something similar soon to return the favor! Gotta buy some sample bottles :D

Excellent. Did you use the Opti-Mitt for all 12 of these washes or was there any other media that you used?

Hello and welcome to Autogeek! If they are just light swirls try M205 and an orange pad first on speed 5 or 6. M105 may not be necessary if they are just light swirls. Always start with the least aggressive method first.

After I use an AIO always top with a good wax or sealant because no AIO I have used leaves protection up to my standards. Never had any "bonding" issues with any of the LSP's that I've used.

Always great to hear another success story! Another perfect example of Mike P's philosophy of K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid). Some simple cleaner wax and an orange pad, gettin it done! Im the MAN

So awesome of you to do this! Theres too many waxes to pick a complete favorite as I use different ones for different cars but I guess that my favorite wax overall is Poorboy's Natty's Red. For the money I feel that it offers the best combination of easy application looks, and protection out of...

I really liked the Black Hole when I tried it on my emerald green metallic paint. That's all I've used it on so far.

If Flex would create a 3.5" and 5" backing plate, I would buy a 3401 very quickly. Oh well, Griot's 6 machine does well for me now.

I have an Ultima buffing towel that is 75/25 and its one of the softest that I have, and some 70/30s that aren't as soft. I'm not sure it really matters for softness necessarily what the percentage is when the most it changes is 10%, but maybe there are some properties it affects such as absorption.

Talk about an awesome first car! That's amazing. Im the MAN I love this thread! The relationship between a person and their car is usually a decent story. Does anyone else feel like they've "bonded" with their cars? Sometimes I feel like my cars know what's going on. Like they have a soul...

While a cleaner wax might not have polish in it (I'm not sure if this is always true), the "cleansers" along with the rotation of a polishing pad (orange, white, green, black, etc, whatever) will remove SOME swirls and clean up the paint. Any time you run a polishing pad or any pad with cut at...

Thank you! This is awesome :)

Cleaner-Wax products are a type AIO.

PAR, a cleaner-wax is the very definition of a one step. But I agree that for best results I would top it with some kind of standalone wax to give it some extra protection. I can't tell you how soft the paint is or how well it would finish out with an orange pad, but mostly likely it will...

My first car was a 1995 Buick LeSabre, I got it when I was 17. When I got it, it had around 130,000 miles on it and had a newly rebuilt engine in it. Previously owned by an elderly couple who seemed to take good care of it judging from appearance, but I had nothing but problems with it...
