    Glaze: Do they all work the same? My quest for the the best glaze..

    With clearcoat, if you polished out all the defects the glaze doesn't add a ton to it. Its situations where there are still defects where glaze will help the most when it's clearcoat. :) That's my experience anyway :)

    Deep Gloss Auto Salon Test: Optimum Compound II vs M105

    Would love to see a similar test between M105 with it's smat abrasives and Power Gloss with it's diminishing. :) Great work though, I liked the looks of the GG work more than the rotary. Go figure. :)

    WHEELS -- OPTI-SEAL on top of 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant...

    I wouldn't worry about switching. PBWS is going to be fine. The way I see it, it's a simple diminishing returns situation. PBWS or any other boutique product like that is going to give you 90-95% of the protection and performance you're looking for. If you try another product, at best you're...

    Best way to get EVERY missed spot on wax/sealant

    I typically go back over the whole car with a quick detailer to make sure I didn't miss a spot. You could wash the car again too if you wanted.

    Leatherique

    You can't without wetsanding and re-dying the leather. Leatherique has kits for that which are great but alot of work.

    Leatherique

    Do it again. It'll make it softer, maybe not like new but it'll be softer. :)

    Meguiars, a 3 step Approach to Paint

    Awesome results by hand, with OTC products. Just goes to show with hard work and proper technique, you can get excellent results regardless of the type of products you're using. Well done.

    Best wheel cleaner for BMW

    Pretty much anything would work, my old BMW used to always get a friendly spray of Hi-Temp wheel cleaner. Just to be on the safe side, I would always spray the wheel off with water which would cut the wheel cleaner I was using. Always worked really well for me. Imo though, basically any...

    My first "detail" w/lots-o-pics... :MS6 Content:

    SSR2.5 with a PC will need two passes to remove most defects. It's not as strong as M105 (which is ultra popular on this forum and many others) but it does a great job especially after multiple passes. The amount you used sounds about like what I would do. SSR2.5 will dust some times, never...

    Mother's wheel cleaner screwed my Bullet's chrome plating :(

    Yeah i agree, I'd be stunned if you couldn't buff that out as mentioned in your previous post.

    When nothing goes right

    Agreed, they work awesome in direct sunlight. Honestly I don't know why they don't get much love here, but then each board always has their fav's etc.

    Best microfiber towel out there imo.

    My first "detail" w/lots-o-pics... :MS6 Content:

    SSR 2.5 will dust a little, especially if the pad is not primed properly. That's been my experience with it (using it since '05 with a PC). It will remove quite a lot of swirls (especially with a rotary), but the key with a PC is multiple passes and using the proper pressure (Mike Phillips has...

    Observation of CMA Closing by Max

    Figured I'd throw this up since it showed up on my doorstep a little while ago. FYI, I'm in a 3 day delivery area from the shipping location.

    Observation of CMA Closing by Max

    :dunno: I dunno if you were one of the ones I read or not. But seriously... what do people expect in a situation like this? They are going out of business, and yes we've probably all bought something from a store going out of business... in person. At least then goods are in hand and it's an...

    Observation of CMA Closing by Max

    Well said. Nice to hear a voice of reason, considering how ridiculous some of the posts were in the other thread. Seemed like a bunch of folks making their first purchase on the internet or something...almost like someone buying something on ebay and not hearing from the seller for a day and...
