Also, my E2K blue and white pads deteriorated more quickly than expected. Guess its the softer foam composition. If anything, I have to lift the PC to keep it from bogging down even at the 6 setting. Am so looking forward to replacing it after amortization costs are covered.

Is that Meg's Extreme Tire Gel next to the DP spray bottle?

I get the same winter and have the same concerns. Applied the Klasse twins after claying then topped with Collininte last fall. The protection lasted until I removed everything last month with occasional washes and waxing boosters. Will stay with Klasse until I have mastered its intricacies as...

I was under the assumption that high pressure is more efficient if only because less water is used. The downside might be that it could propel surface contaminants into the finish if not used properly, but this largely is offset by the detergent's lubricity. Was told it is best indicated for the...

Was hoping to find the right combimation of pads with #3 & #4, yellow, green. Seldom used #2. Hope my fingers stabilize enough from the vibrating to call later today. Really wanted to make the E2K system work. It just shouldn't be touted as the perfect accompaniement to the PC. Chrome mags are a...

The PC with Edge pads just may be the lest effective and most infuriating, pathetic combination devised; it certainly is the least efficient. As stated recently, I am willing to ascribe pad failure after one full session (blue and white disintegration) to happenstance, but that coupled with the...

Ditto, lecchilo. Yeah. my white 6" started disintegrating after two uses, but I just bought a replacement & ascribe that as an offering to the detail demigods; it probably would have been the backing plate or velcro on another system. Bottom line: I have greater issues with the PC and refining...

I have an old car with a rebuilt engine, but don't want to do anything that might damage it. Probably will wait and peruse reviews as they come in. Relatedly, what have you heard of the new "pulse plugs" to replace regular spark plugs which contain internal capacitors? Is there a difference in...

To the contrary, it is a sacrament we too often neglect.

I read elsewhere that the trend (left coast anyway) is for dealerships to expand their in-house prep & detail work, likely owing to liability and labor issues. If true this should eventually lead to an increase in dissatisfied customers seeking professionals to correct their work. Hope so. Just...

Don't you need to maintain an open account with PayPal? There's enough to keep track of already. What about carrying/maintenance charges?

Did an ISO wipe and a coat of Klasse DGSG. Am paranoid about leaving the paint unprotected as birds, brake dust, and particulates are a major concern in the city. Now, how best to remove for polishing when she returns in a few days?

Of the two, which do you suspect would be best on a grass green with the Klass twins?

Got a regular long handled kitchen pot & pan brush at the dollar store which works well. Just don't press too hard or rub else you risk damaging the pad, but that applies to anything with stiff nylon bristles. And other things.

Wife needs to see her recently hospitalized father, but the car's not ready. Only got to clean, clay and partly polish the horizontal surfaces (hood, roof & trunk), spot compounding & polishing up to the fine grade (XMT 2). Plan on wiping with AIO & sealing with Klass anyway, but what are the...

Anything after 12 seems excessive to me. After all, it's going to get 6 or 7 coats of Souveran on top of that, right?

I've been using 303 for all plastics interior and under hood but am running low. Any suggestions for something maybe less expensive without sacrificing protection and durability? Plan to buy a gallon for refills.

I recommend a slow, deliberate course to avoid unpleasantness. Who knows why they all hire the same hack? Maybe it's Mr. Bigcheese Bossman's nephew and they're shining his wheels so to speak. Maybe it's simple groupthink. Sometimes people get peeved when they perceive that their proprietary...

Naah, just run it through a tunnel with huge extra stiff rotary drum brushes and rub dry with burlap. That should strip everything and provide ample occassion to reapply good stuff. But it may take a while.

Guess this is one of those steps that separates enthusiasts from pros. They may complain about redundant extra steps, but I gladly will do anything that makes a difference and improves the "finished" product.
