    Ultima Waterless Wash Plus

    Awesome! even more reason to use it. Thanks for that info! my mentioning a quick detail was because of their wax content. it leaves a slicker shinier surface behind. But knowing that it offers some UV protection is awesome

    Ultima Waterless Wash Plus

    I must say, reading about them i was kind of skeptical. I still have a difficult time grasping how I am not scratching the surface, but The results speak for themselves. That said, since i have only used quick details prior and that is my only experience with a product similar to this. I would...

    Ultima Waterless Wash Plus

    First off, wanted to thank AutoGeek and Meghan. I won this product in the giveaway a few weeks ago. I decided to try this product in a few different ways. My methods of application were. Spray on vehicle, let sit for a few moments (20 seconds) and then wipe clean with a microfiber. I didnt...

    Wiper Blades

    i cant recommend using alcohol on the rubber. it might seem like they are working better but in the long run you are hurting the life of the blade. the alcohol is eating the soft rubber and drying it out. shortening the life of the blade. they do make wipes that are designed to recondition...

    Removed paint from rear bumper!

    BMW uses plastic bumpers. most modern cars do. These bumpers do not do well with the heat generated by rotarys and the vibrations. Its possible there was some contaminates on the surface of the bumper before the paint was applied and the buffer was able to just rip it right off the bumper. the...

    My pad cleaner

    True, just saying. its not as dangerous as people like to make it sound. That said, a lid/splash guard would be easy to make.

    Pads Leaving Swirl Marks

    thanks mike! looks like it may have been the pad. the marring i am used to from aggressive products isn't what i was seeing but it looks a lot like the two pictures posted above. i think the paint is really soft. it was repainted as i found when removing emblems and i could see blend lines...

    Pads Leaving Swirl Marks

    Yeah, and in hindsight i cant explain why i decided to do that. 205 on a orange or white would have and did remove the swirls. But for some reason i decided yellow. that silly mistake aside. This issues i had were most certainly more then just micro-marring left behind from the yellow pad which...

    Opinions on the best sealant

    to me 4-6 months of protection seems fine. im not looking for 12+ months like some claim. Klasse HG say 9-12 and thats more then i need. Since I usually do follow ups within 6 months. For some applications i will use something that lasts a very long time. but i would be open to something that is...

    Pads Leaving Swirl Marks

    did try SSR2.5 on a white pad and 205 on a white pad. they made it marginally better. but were not able to remove the tougher scratches. I feel the clear coat was soft, this car was repainted (poorly) and i sanded with 2500 and then buffed with my rotary 3m compounding pad and 105. it looked...

    Opinions on the best sealant

    Im reading them now. it seems that short of this spray method its just a real pain. are any of the other sealants comparable in shine and protection? because if they are i will gladly switch.
