Thanks. This is basically what I ended up doing. I think it was a good use of the WW as a drying aid. I have the concentrate for the WW so I feel like it is worth the money for drying the car effectively. David

Thank you all.

Got it thanks. Sounds like my expectations and understanding of how the foam works were incorrect. I always continue with a 2BM after that but just was surprised on how little seemed to have changed after the full foaming. Thanks to all who helped in this inquiry.

I have been having an issue with my process or the 3D Car Soap. I have been using the Gilmour 75QGFMR and while the foam seems quite thick - I note that after the foam has dwelled for 3-5 minutes a majority of the dust/light dirt is still intact on the surface. I have tried different ratios of...

Thanks. My hope is the pads and a DA will help too.

Got the ceriglass and pads. I'll check on swapping the windshield fluid.

Ok I've never taken one off but what process do you user for cleaning? Drain (somehow) Rinse with water multiple times Soap of some sort - assume it would not be recommend to use dawn so a mild APC would be better? Refill with distilled water?

Ok I ordered some pads and the Ceriglass kit. I forgot to mention I also tried Bar Keepers Friend as well.

Great. I will get some.

I did swipe the blades with the AA and I believe the IPA as well. I am thinking about replacing them. I will check the washer tank as well. I am in an urban environment, Oakland CA and the car is outside 24/7. The film seems to be where the wiper trails as opposed to the whole windshield...

I am struggling in getting a nice clear windshield that lasts a while (like a few days maybe?) I spent a couple hours on Sunday 1/31 trying to eliminate the what I will call oily film on the front windshield. The film follows the wiper pattern and I went through several rounds of...

Larry Kosilla and AutoBlog.com put together a series of videos. Autoblog Details I just binge watched them all - 36 of them. I liked them and while very short they were informative.

Thanks for the followup. Always nice to have closure on previous posts.

Here here - I agree - great forum. The only forum on which I regularly post.

I went to a hardware store and found denatured alcohol - is that basically like lighter fluid? That must stink something awful. Besides using nitrile gloves - can that damage trim? Paint?

WOW - My heart skipped a beat when I saw all the panels removed. At first glance I thought that blue body shell was the Bentley itself - I was thinking now that is what I call a detail job. Hat tipped to your professional expertise.

Here is a video from Larry Kosilla from AMMONYC that shows how he adapts a snow broom with a microfiber towel, like Mike Lambert mentions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCSmb5WABw

Wow - that is amazing that they would stand behind that work! Can a manager truly look at that paint and say this is effective detailing?? In what world?

I wonder if it is due the clean slate that you provided after the claying that now the fall out seems more noticeable than before where basically the surface was a full coating of fall out?
