67 Camaro convertible. It had an actual “Earl Schibe” paint job when I got it (1984). Receipt for the repaint was in the car. $199. Painted right over some of the badges on the body. Straight 6, power glide trans. Awful combination. No power steering or brakes. Passed it down to my sister and...

OP - are you asking about the piano black around the gages and the nav screen/climate knobs? I just use a plush micro with a spray of interior detailer on it. Wipe it very lightly. I don’t know if there is any way you could apply a film around the knobs and gages or even apply a coating. Just...

I’ve mopped floors with it. It left some streaks in places. D114 works better for me.

Agree - trash them. Pads aren't expensive enough to try to save.

That sprayer will work just fine for pre-spraying.

To protect, its easiest to use a liquid product that can be sprayed onto a towel and wiped on. Sonax BSD protects well. CG V7 is easier to use, but doesn’t last long. D156 would be a good choice too. I liked Prima hydro max for jambs but I don’t know if it’s still available.

+1 on this. Coated my wheels, and with this brush I am now obsessed with clean wheel barrels because I can see them with the type of wheels I have.

So if bare paint beads/sheets water, and an LSP beads/sheets water, then what condition accounts for paint that doesn't bead/sheet water? Surfectants in the shampoo? If so, then a shampoo that leaves nothing behind like Carpro reset should always increase beading, either by leaving the LSP as...

You know who is more sick about it? Everyone who took Minnesota to cover the 5.5 point spread. Kneeling instead of kicking the last extra point left it at 5 points.

Below is a definitive thread on lsp stripping. The OP is an actual chemist in the detailing industry. For some reason links aren’t highlighting for me right now. You can search for the thread called lsp stripping by PiPUK if the below doesn’t work...

I don’t see that as a misread. What was originally stated was that one could be a “good” detailer by using any machine, but that to be “great” one must use and master a long throw. “A great detailer is one whos (sic) mastered the long throw.” When this contention was questioned by several...

I pointed out the extension of your statement. Which would be the opposite of selective.

So before the long throw was invented, there could not have been any great detailers... Ok, bud.

I tend to agree with Eldo on this. I'm no chemist, but if water is the last substance on the paint after rinsing, then whatever is in the water is on the paint. Water spots come from minerals in the water, and if water is left on the paint and allowed to dry, where do the minerals go? They...

50/50 mix of CG V7 and Sonax BSD is a sweet QD to use after a wash.

That picture is much better than the previous ones. It definitely looks like there is some hazing in the reflection.

I prefer cotton towels on leather, MF on everything else. There was a post here many years back IIRC by JudyB from one of the UK leather products companies where she said that cotton is better for leather since MF is harder on leather finishes over time due to the MF grabbing the leather on a...

I agree. I loathe interior windshield cleaning and have tried a few methods over the years. I was impressed with this product. Used a MF applicator and did the windshield in about 6 sections. You have to rub it in a bit, it's not just a wipe on product. After working a small section I gave it...

They are only sold in the UK. Another vote for tuff shine.
