    Rinseless wash process

    Just did my first waterless wash yesterday and am hooked. I got the Eco Touch WW on sale at Target ($4/bottle) but have been interested in the Meg's due to it being more economical. You think the Wash & Wax or the regular Wash product is the way to go? I'm torn between the idea of a wash that...

    Total Swirl free wash, is this possible?

    Opti Coat Pro if you are down to pay for someone to install it. You could possibly do all the prep work before hand yourself, but the finish must be flawless otherwise you're just trapping swirls under the coating (which is theoretically permanent)

    Iron-X snow foam question

    I use it as a maintenance wash in a foam gun about once a month. 4oz is what I use. If I'm going to polish/seal/wax I use 4oz in a 5 gallon bucket. Definitely wear gloves as allenk4 said! Wish it smelled better.

    New and Confused

    Depends if you really enjoy the hours and hours that you can spend on your paint. My Model S is coated because it's a daily driver, is black and has really soft paint. My wife's car on the other hand I sealed and waxed because it's red, doesn't get driven as often and has hard paint. I also...

    First time with Wolfgang TSR + CarPro Cool Wool

    This is the 3rd vehicle I have polished (first was my dad’s 2002 Toyota Corolla, second was my wife’s 2003 Nissan Murano which we traded in). Still working on getting good technique with the DA, choosing the right products, etc. Wife just got a 2011 BMW 135i in Sedona Red (sort of a dark red...

    Eco Touch Odor Eliminator Review

    Just picked this up on clearance from Target for $1.50. Haven't used it yet, but glad I grabbed it based on your review! Need to use it to try and get rid of faint smoke smell in my wife's BMW.

    Delta Spray Bottles

    I purchased a 12 pack from Uline. If you have a warehouse locally they can be had for about $2 each. With shipping about $3 each. Nice sprayer, has dilution ratios and bottles come in 16, 24 and 32 oz sizes.

    Do I or Don't I?

    I bought the harbor freight DA for wax/sealant application. Fell in love with the ease of a DA from the first use. Always thought I would take my cars in to a pro for polishing, but have been doing that myself now too.

    CarPro Trix as Clay Lube?

    Noted - thanks for the responses. Except for the smell and he constant bottle shaking to kept it well mixed, any reason to choose Iron X + Tar X over TRIX?

    Your favorite spray wax?

    New fav is Prima Hydro Wax as you Dry Spray - super easy to apply, great drying aid, super slick glassy look and leaves no streaks. Would like to try OCW someday. Have used Meg's UW and Gold Class as well as Griots and all have been hard to apply streak free on black.

    Most Under Rated Product?

    I'll second the Prima line. I like their spray wax (Hydro) particularly. Have yet to try their sealants.

    Do not use this method on your car!!!!

    Guys, if someone actually watches this and then runs out their garage then I say that is natural selection at work. Pretty funny stuff!

    Palm Polisher

    Just curious - are you finding deficiencies in using the GG6 for wax application?

    Newbie that needs help with the most basic step....washing!

    Foaming the car up first and letting it dwell for 5 minutes may help loosen some of that winter crud.
