I will give this a try next time, your theory makes the most sense to me though so I will definitely wash the car with a true wash mitt and dry before I switch to the mitt. Thank you for your advice!

The temperature was between 30-40 degrees. I'm located in Kansas City.

I washed the car first by spraying it down with a foam cannon and pressure rinsing the foam off. Followed by an additional foam blasting and wiping with the non-rubber side of the mitt before using the clay side.

The mitt was properly broken in and used on a few vehicles before these jobs. Jobs were both Subaru paint, I guess I should expect more than usual since they have some super soft paint. I wiped down the panel with the non-rubber side first then flipped it over to rubber side.

Let's add some more problems that I've had recently, learning by fire has really been kicking my butt recently. I used an Eagle One Clay Mitt one my last 2 one step jobs and it left me some pretty extreme marring. Now I know some marring is to be expected but wow... Here was my process: Foam...

Sounds like I will be picking some up after Christmas!

I am a big fan of the Keramik! How do you like the 808? I have been super interested in it, especially for its bold claims. It's a bit expensive for me to just try on a whim though... If it truly has the durability it claims, or even 3-4 months I would gladly buy that and just do a Keramik + 808...

How long did you wait to apply the Poxy?

Reviving a buried question of mine: What exactly happens when you apply a topper to an AIO, such as HD Speed, within its cure time? Is the topper durability compromised due to bonding? Or is it just ruining the protection of the AIO?

I only did it probably 2 months ago and it seems like it's doing fine. However I topped it with aquawax so that could've boosted it a little bit.

Another question, what pad do you recommend for HD Speed? I have a Rupes 21 MkII so I'd need a large throw pad.

I have a local detailer as well who loves using HD Speed, I was seriously considering that as well. Do you all still recommend waiting 12 hours before applying 845 or other topper? What exactly happens if I apply before the "cure time"? Does it compromise the AIO? Or does the topper not bond to...

Hello Everyone! I am a failry new Part-Time Detailer who works in the Refinishing Dept in a body shop during the day. I live in an apartment so my boss is nice enough to allow me 1 work bay for me to use after work hours to do detailing work and can stay there overnight. However, that car must...

I hate the mothers yellow clay... Always had marring issues no matter the lubricant or pressure (or lack of pressure I should say) and didn't really work that great. Difficult to fold as well.

That's what I used to remove the marring :)

I detailed my grandparent's new Lexus RX in Navy Blue over the weekend. I washed the car like normal and to my surprise with it only being a couple months old, the front end of the car did not pass the plastic bag test. So I broke open a brand new Megs white clay bar, flattened it nice and thin...

I have been using the 3M Perfect-It EX Compound and Polish for over 2 years now in my body shop. They are absolutely fantastic and when in doubt, I always rely on them to give me the results I need. However... I have only used these with their intended corresponding rotary buffer pads. I have...
