Is it an ST? My car is also Tuxedo Black. I was on a CG kick and after polishing used Blacklight then Jetseal topped with Black Wax. The car turned out great.

Once you apply wax with a machine you won't want to do it by hand.

I've used regular All Clean on the paint mixed 10:1 with no problems.

Great video, thanks for the link!

After a bit of research I think I'll try a sponge for washing. Anyone used the Lake Country Foam Car Wash Sponge? That and a few of the buff and shine towels and I should be set. Wonder when the next AG sale will be :).

What is the advantage of the sponge over a MF wash mitt/towels? I thought sponges in general were a no no to use on car paint.

With winter right around the corner I'm getting ready to do my first rinseless wash. I've got plenty of wash solution options, ONR, Pinnacle Rinseless Wash and GDIUDJ, but not sure about the best towel to use. I have some Detail Master Pro Eagle Edgeless plush towels but wondering if there is...

I have the CM8801FN.

Same here. I got a cheap ( $150) PTG and tried it on my car and glad I did. For whatever reason the paint on the hatch is about 1mil thinner so I know not to be to aggressive.

Same here :). One neighbor who I talk to once in a while, (usually in his driveway) stopped over when I was washing the car and couldn't believe all the chemicals and towel I had just for cleaning my car :D. He has an odd collection of vehicles, a Jeep, Gold Wing trike, Yamaha V Max, HD touring...

This , I can just imagine my neighbors saying to themselves "sounds like he's washing his car again" :). I've had a few neighbors ask about detailing but they don't have an interest in putting in the time.

I recently applied wax for the first time with a DA and agree it worked great! Even coverage and used less product. I don't see myself doing it by hand anymore. The only bad thing I've read is the pads can be a pain to clean. I used a LC blue finishing pad.

I have a Tuxedo Black 2013 ST2 and yes I am a member (Mustanggolfguy). What is your user name over there?

I'm like the others, use the machine to apply but remove by hand. I know Mike Phillips made a video where they removed wax with a bonnet Bonnets are fabric pad covers used to buff off waxes and polishes with your polisher or buffer. microfiber bonnet, micro fiber bonnet, terry cloth. Are you...

Welcome from the west side of town (SLP)!

I was surfing youTube and came across http://car-scratch-remover.com/ guys name is Karl Eberhardt. He gets some pretty good results with very basic tools. Anyone tried it?

Weekend evenings usually.

:iagree: I had a tuff time deciding between the PC and GG. Based on what I read the Griots was was a little more powerful and the guys that had them seemed to like them, BUT there was the failure rate which seemed to be better with the 3rd gen machines. The Griots failed after only about 10...

Just got my replacement polisher! Quick turnaround especially with a holiday. Time to wax the car.

Yeah I have the same problem. The LED bulbs are pretty heavy. I really thought I was going to strip out the threads I was putting so much pressure tightening them up. Probably should order another one for a back up.
