The windows in my Camaro would get "bad" pretty quick, because for 7 years I smoked (heavily) in the car, but I ALSO CLEANED them regularly. It was a bit more difficult that glass that is simply neglected forever (with the tar and other chemicals in smoke). I guess it's the total lack of caring...

What I have personally SEEN isn't JUST the front glass, it's ALL of it! The rear windows on BOTH my nieces' car were ALMOST completely OPAQUE, like frosted glass, opaque

After roughly 40 years of cleaning cars, starting as a total NEWB, to where I am now, I have noticed ONE CONSISTANT thing.... Out of EVERY SINGLE CAR, that I have detailed, the ones that ALWAYS have the absolutely NASTIEST windows (interior), have ALL been owned by younger (typically)...

Three months ago, I complete a full compound (1&Done) and waxing (To The Max Wax) of my niece's Kia Soul. I was left unattended with it yesterday, and my wife "volunteered me" to do a maintenance wash. This was it's FIRST wash for three months, so I got to see how well (or not) the Max Wax did...

Which is EXACTLY why I used a very low speed and only a LIGHT polishing pad. I don't have a LOT of experience with a rotary - in fact, this was the FIRST time I'd used it on such large areas and wanted to be extra cautious. Even so, I still had to follow up with my DA to get rid of the holograms...

In all honesty, I know that varying the aggressiveness of the PAD does affect the 'cut' of the polish/compound, but since Turtle Wax is actually the only company that I'm aware of to bring this up about the 1&Done, I thought I would also mention it in my review of the compound/polish. Too...

Just one man`s opinion of Turtle Wax, Hybrid Solutions - PRO 1 & Done Compound

At the shop I worked at back in the 80's, we also did rust-proofing and I was the guy who removed the door panels and rust-proofed inside the doors, then put them back together. So with this experience, I can honestly say that if you get LUCKY, everything comes off without damage and then goes...

Not to forget, we are ALL different and do things differently, but it doesn't mean any of us are WRONG in how we do things. If an individual gets the results that please/satisfy THEM, then those methods are correct for them. I do things a certain way because partially it was how I was taught...

This video had the sound deleted, but it shows me applying the paste wax to a new, fresh polishing pad. I actually used a little more than needed for this first application - it covered the entire hood, LF fender and driver's front door on my Wife's Escape. I only had to reapply wax to the pad...

ONE LIGHT application of wax with the putty knife (think of a bead of wax 1/8" wide, by 1/8" deep, by 2" long) spread THINLY over the pad with the knife, WILL cover the entire hood of the Camaro or the ROOF of my Wife's Escape (plus some). And slightly less will cover an entire SIDE of either...

I used a cheap, plastic putty knife (one of a 4-pack of different sizes) I picked up at the hardware store. I chose plastic since it SHOULD gentler on the pad. Just LIGHTLY scrape off a SMALL amount of the paste wax, and apply it to the pad like you're buttering bread. I've applied 5 coats of...

Not too shabby for 166,200 miles and 11 years old.

I put two - three coats of the Hybrid Solutions "Alphabet Soup" on both cars, the Camaro and the Escape, and it has held up for several weeks, even with regular washing (using only car wash soap and a brush). It's NOT "candy-coated" shiny, just a rich black. Plus it's dry to the touch and...

Does this include watching my own to critique them and figure out how I can do better? :laughing::laughing:

I noticed it was. a TINY bit grabby, when I first started to remove it from a panel, but NOTHING "difficult" about removing it in general.

Hybrid Solutions Ceramic/Graphene Paste Wax **Updated with RAIN video I got a new, unopened box of the Turtle Wax, Hybrid Solutions Ceramic/Graphene Paste Wax as a "payment" for detailing a friend's car. I was curious about it, but had never bought or tried it for myself. So I decided to use my...

As long as they leave the Hybrid Solutions Line ALONE and continue making it is all "I" care about.

Because of the fallout damage it received while sitting outside at the shop, the orbital wouldn't touch it. This picture is a 50/50. The bottom is after TWO compoundings with the orbital - the top is after the rotary, but before using the orbital (to remove holograms caused by the rotary). Using...
