    Washing Microfiber Towels

    Yes, in my case it's ok. My towels are worth more than my clothes... Seriously, the pre-soak with all purpose cleaner and a grit guard to get the abrasives out before the washer is a good idea on anything used to wipe polish. The abrasives could be hard on the internals of the washer. I use...

    Need suggestion for interior products

    One man's opinion: Optimum Power Clean. Can be diluted and used on anything including leather. Ultima Interior Guard Plus. Great on plastic or leather. A little goes a long way (like most of the good stuff) and its not too shiny. This isn't the cheapest route but you get what you pay for...

    Can you use pinnacle ultra clay more than once

    Absolutely. Unless you drop it or you pick up some other abrasive stuff, you can fold it a few times and go. If the vehicles aren't too bad, you should get 2-3 in before it gets gross enough to toss. If you see it starting to mar the surface, toss it. Better safe than sorry.

    Review: Meguiar's Quick Interior Detailer

    I buy 2-3 bottles every time I go to Wally World (we use it for household dusting). My usual practice is APC, Ultima Interior Guard Plus, and QID to maintain. Works well for me and is safe of instrument faces.

    Yeah, what he said. I've "tried" a bunch of stuff but I keep coming back to the same 3-4 products. Welcome

    15 detailers and 2 gallons of wax later.... B-24 Liberator "Witchcraft"

    Ok, I got that off my chest. 10 years ago, I took a ride on Sentimental Journey (B17G) out at Falcon. I was always fascinated by that AC but when we took off, I was struck with the gaps, vibration and general lack of anything substantial between me and the ground/air. And, nobody was shooting...

    The barrels on the left side are going to be much easier to do now.

    OPC dilution ratio for paint cleaning?

    I've heard of people using it neat (straight) on paint with no ill effects. I usually don't go beyond 4/5:1 for paint but I'm sure you'd be fine either way. I'm just cheap. Don't forget that OPC is going to strip your wax or sealant so you're going to need to apply some to the bare paint. I...

    Gunpowder stain removal?

    I've handled and burned a bunch of gunpowder. Never cleaned it out of carpet though. Assuming its just spilled, it should vacuum right up. If it has gotten wet, then the chemicals that make it go boom may have leeched out of the carrier and may stain (?). The rare spills around my press came...

    Tire Gels

    +1, very glossy. For a more muted shine, I'm using CarPro PEARL at 1:1 (water). A little goes a long way and neither slings.

    Zierbart Detailing

    I absolutely think that after a little research on this site and a couple hundred bucks worth of high quality tools and material, you can do much better than the dealer will with this treatment. These "packages" are huge profit centers for the dealers and are usually sold by the finance...

    Zierbart Detailing

    I'd take a pass. I'm sure they are using acceptable products but I'm also sure you are over-paying. Get your money back and buy some quality material here and have some fun before they install some swirls in your new truck. There are some excellent coatings available at AG and they are going...

    Opticoat

    You won't. The opticoat is the easy part, it's the prep that can be daunting. If you surf around a little on this forum and you tube, you can pick up enough info for great results. You are going to love this stuff.

    Is it Okay to Use a Degreaser on Wheels?

    I almost always do. It depends on the wheel finish. My personal favorite is Optimum Power Clean at about 6:1 dilution. That will, however, strip whatever wheel glaze or wax you have on there but it is safe for painted wheels. I'd stay away from Home Depot or Lowes degreasers on painted...

    Opti-Coat

    I've used it on Toyota white (single stage) with no problems. It works exactly the same as the other paint systems and just as well. I guess if there is a down side to opticoat, it's that all your waxes and sealants are useless on it. They won't stick to it so it is pretty much a waste of...

    Opti-Coat

    Do it! I have 14 months on a metallic gray (dark) Honda CRV daily driver. 24/7 uncovered in Arizona sun. Beads like the week I did it. It's also keeping the black plastic looking new which is the first thing to turn to crap here. I wash with the soap of my choice from my extensive and...
