    How long do your drying towels last?

    Obviously, you should continue to use whatever process works for you but in my case, I wash mine after each use (when I do dry my car in that traditional fashion). Anytime there is contact you have the potential for creating blemishes in the finish. By washing my drying towels after use I am...

    Windshield cleaners

    I know I'm in the minority but I simply didn't like D120 when I tried it. I just couldn't get it to work that well for me. It always seemed to leave behind some level of light residue that required several more passes with a clean towel to remove. IG is decent and works for me. ....so is...

    I've changed something from here on out...

    I would say that's one of the factors right there (the traits of the paint in your application). ......well, that and the severity/characteristics of the contamiants you're trying to remove. I would have never attempted to clay my last car without following up with correction. The paint was...

    Eagle One Easi-Dri?

    ....I guess I should clarify that I do use filtration for my wash water (sediment and soft water). I also use it as pre-filtration for my CRS system. It brings my water down by about 100ppm from 500+ ppm I typically get straight from the tap. Im not sure how much this helps prolong the life...

    Eagle One Easi-Dri?

    ....personally, I still dry using forced and/or compressed air. In my case, its not the DI water from the CRS system I have to worry about as far spotting. Its residual soap and/or unfiltered water lingering in crevices that can be a problem. ....and if I leave the car to just air dry, there...

    ....or, you can get one of these :xyxthumbs::

    Eagle One Easi-Dri?

    ....actually, (to me) it sounds more like some sort of hydrophic component/substance in the product that is "left behind" during the rinse that causes sheeting.

    Eagle One Easi-Dri?

    ....although their marketing is a bit misleading, I don't think it claims to provide a spot-free finish without drying (if you read between the lines). "Easi-Dri includes a new sheeting action technology that drastically reduces drying time." "Reduces hand drying"

    dodo vs fuzion vs souveran

    ….I have only used Fuzion among the 3 but I was quite impressed with it. The fact is that I probably never would have tried it if I hadn’t received a small jar (the one AG sells for ~$45) as a free sample. However, now that I have, I may pick up a full size container the next time they have a...

    Any tips on spray wax and clay lube?

    ….I can’t imagine why many would laugh. Those that think a product that is found OTC somehow lacks in quality/performance compared to those from online/boutique sources are delusional. While I don’t consistently use spray waxes, I have found Duragloss AquaWax to be an excellent, user friendly...

    Dash protectant

    ….I have heard 1Z CP has UV inhibitors but never found any documentation to back that up. As far as “looks”, 1Z CP has a natural finish that leaves virtually no added shine of its own which is a huge bonus in my book. I like 303 and buy it by the gallon for other uses but I prefer a product...

    MicroRestore - I think Tide worked better..

    Yes, it has a watery consistency and a relatively mild odor and sudsing action. Personally, I usually either pre-treat stained MF's (typically with an APC) or simply don't bother due to the task they are assigned to (just as long as they come out "clean"). I also separate towels by task so the...

    Clearcoat for tires !

    "Incredibly dark and glossy finish" ....the latter characteristic doesn't sound appealing to me.

    Buying the Flex or the PC?

    ....congrats. I finally pulled the trigger on a Flex I got from AG as well about 3 months ago. I agree with BigAl though that it is useful having both kinds of polishers on hand (due to pad size limitations). I still have my PC with a load of 4" pads that I have no intention of getting rid...

    How do you stop your MF from linting?

    ....same here. It's unfortunate because I have Cobra towels that a couple of years old and still perform quite well. Ever since my experience with the Shamrocks (later version) and the plush side of the Supreme 530's, I stopped buying them and have been on the hunt for other sources. Even the...

    Washing questions

    ....Autogeek sells a soft water and sediment filtration kit that can help with your spotting issue. It won't eliminate them but it will make them less likely and for those that do appear, they will be softer and easier to wipe away as you dry. ....when drying a car traditionally, I will...

    Autopia.org bad for you?

    ....yeah, I saw that. Pretty unbelievable eh? ....and pretty disappointing as well.

    Autopia.org bad for you?

    ....what I don't understand is since they obviously know about the problem, then why don't they take the site/server down until it is fixed?

    2010 Dodge Challenger R/T

    ...no worries. :) I didn't expect to get many answers on this forum anyhow. Yeah, the car is a blast and suits my needs just fine. The Brilliant Black finish is what I might consider medium or a tad softer.
