My best advice is to ignore it for a few months. I had something on the hood that I couldn't get off and it eventually went away on its own. It's amazing what the sun will do and how the clear coat can at times self heal or even expel stuff. I've seen things come and go over time. The most...

I always hand wash my rinseless sponges with Dawn or Palmolive dish soap. The sponge always comes out really clean. I use a similar procedure when washing foam polishing pads. Come to think of it, foam polishing pad cleaner would probably work really good to clean foam rinseless sponges.

Which products do you usually use to wash and dry your Jetta? I'm wondering if over time they broke down whatever holds the microfiber fibers to the towel.

You could also try using a washing machine cleaner product such as affresh. It's usually a powder that you pour into the washing machine and run it with an empty load to clean out the machine.

The lint roller could be a factor since it could be leaving some adhesive on the microfibers. I always air dry my microfibers and don't have any issue with lint. Also, sometimes it can be a case of sticky paint that leaves lint on the surface.

If you have the IK Foam Pro 2, then you would use .84 ounces with 41 ounces of water for a PIR of 2%.

I highly recommend using ear protection with the IK E Foam Pro 2. It sounds like a jack hammer.

Just be aware that the IK E Foam 2 is very loud at around 92 decibels.

You can get the Koch Chemie versions of the Kwazars from AutoAlity in the USA.

Generally, most say Marolex makes the best pump sprayers and IK makes the best pump foamers.

I received the microfiber noodle free with a battery powered foamer that I bought off of Amazon. I wouldn't use it on my car (since I have no idea the quality of it) so I thought it was a good wash media for cleaning the fence. Plus I find it fun to try out different car detailing products. I...

I was messing around with a cheap pump foam sprayer that I got from AliExpress. I first filled it with some Incredible Suds and sprayed it on a vinyl fence. The foam and lubricity was great but it lacked cleaning power by having to really scrub with a microfiber noodle to get the fence clean. I...

I don't see the issue with foaming twice. My line of thinking has always been to get as much dirt off the vehicle as possible before doing a contact wash. Plus you can always use an inexpensive soap such as Meguiar's Gold Class or Hyper Wash. To an extent, I do agree that if someone foams and...

DIY Detail Incredible Suds is $74.99 at most car detailing stores such as AutoForge, Car Supplies Warehouse and Detailed Image. It's out of stock at Detailed Image but you can still order it for $59.99 by using the 20% off coupon.

All things being equal a rinseless sponge is safer and releases dirt better than a microfiber towel. It's the same in that foam polishing pads are less aggressive than microfiber polishing pads. The biggest issue with a microfiber towel is that it tends to hold onto dirt rather than release it...

I finally got around to trying The Gloss Shop Sublime rinseless wash and the results were outstanding. I also used the Gloss Shop detailing spray as a drying aid. I felt like overall the dry off was a little slicker and the car had more gloss than what I usually use which is McKee's 37 N-914 V2...

Don M, That is too cool. The Rav 4 looks absolutely amazing!

It's not intentional but it can happen from overspray, missing a few spots, less than ideal conditions or just not following up with a second clean drying towel. Any spots left over from Idrosave are so stout that you have to polish them to get them off. It's not worth it for me to use a product...

McKee's 37 V2 is really good. It's been my go to over the last couple of years or so. I was also happy to find out that it's been the best performing rinseless that Detail Projects has tested so far. I would try Idrosave but heard that it can leave spots behind if it dries anywhere on the car...
