    Boiled linting MF...

    I have always treated my towels very well. I have had them for 2 years, and I didnt get serious about detailing until about a year ago. I always washed the towels apart from ther laundry, and I always cleaned the lint screen. I do not use mirco restore detergent though. And I washed them in...

    Boiled linting MF...

    I boiled them for about 20 mins. I used a large saucepan, and filled it about half way with water. I only did one, and have 2 more to try. I did not stir it at all. I am very happy with the results. If I didnt tell you I boiled them, you wouldnt notice by looking at them. It saves me alot of...

    Observations w/ 106, questions.

    Thanks Nica, I checked the results in the sun this morning, and it looks incredible. All the swirls are gone, and the paint is very glossy. I will try your suggestion to let it sit for a minute. Then wipe off. No gumming on the pad, but I was using a PC, and I only did one panel. So, when it...

    Boiled linting MF...

    I boiled my cobra green multi purpose towel. Its was linting really bad after about 2 years of use. I simply boiled it for about 20 mins. The water turned purple and was soapy. It seem that the boiling water absorbed all the soap and chemicals that I have used in the past. It did dull the color...

    Low dusting performance brake pads.

    Simply, if you want high performance brake pads, you wil get alot of brake dust. And they will squek like mad under soft braking. Its the price you pay to brake late into corners.

    Caution about dusting

    I have a friend who never uses a mask, and he is constantly polishing with wool pads, and heavy compounds. I have yelled at him a few times. I dont get it. He wears a back brace, but no mask. Doesnt make any sense...

    Observations w/ 106, questions.

    Ok, so I used 106 on my hood yesterday. Just a test panel, because I wanted to know what to expect for the full detail on sat. I clayed the hood, and then started polishing 1/4 of the hood with the 106, and a white 5.5in pad. It worked in very easy, It did not dry out early at all. I made 4...

    Optimum compound, or Menz IP??

    Thanks, thats two people who have tryed it with good results. I dont see the diffrence with adding Final Polish to Int. Polish. When adding Op polish to IP, with seems to be well excepted. Sounds like its a good way to extend the polish time also.

    Optimum compound, or Menz IP??

    Thats what I am worried about too. Someone told me to use 1/8th FP mixed w/ IP and that will get rid of the dusting. I have FP, if this works I am golden. Has anyone else tryed this? Might there be any problems with doing this?

    Optimum compound, or Menz IP??

    I guess I cant go wrong with the OC, I think I will get it. Unless someone convices me otherwise. I know I can finish with the 106ff after I use OC, seems like that will take care of most marring. Any other opinions before I order???

    Optimum compound, or Menz IP??

    I want to start detailing more seriously, so far I have done many cars for really cheap. I want to get a compounp so I will be prepared for what ever a potential client throws at me. So far I own Menz FP, and 106ff. I want to get a polish that does not dust or throw polish around. I finished my...
