    Best Boat Wash?

    Congrats on the new boat! Remember, it's better to have friends with boats than to own a boat......As for boat soap; I use Meguires Gold Class car soap because it cleans well. Others may have better suggestions but, other than Marine 31 polish/wax/compound, etc - I don't generally buy boat...

    Magic Eraser residue on glass?

    I've used the magic erasers for years now - my suggestion is to just use the eraser with clean water. That will take everything off the glass - then wipe/polish with MF.

    Some Extreme techniques that are kinda odd but......

    I've used several of his methods that would seem unusual to most car detailers. Mothers on the headlights, on the paint; "orange shop soap" on the windshield; rain-x in the power window tracks; heat gun on plastic trim; 303 on tires, plastic trim, windshield wipers - and every single one has...

    Wax or sealant for daughter

    +1 on this. Applied it to a car 5 months ago and it's still repelling. Can't say enough good about it being the simplest application I've experienced.

    Sanding discs for headlights

    Instead of all those steps, recommend you use mother's aluminum and chrome polish on any pad/DA combo. Works like a charm and is a true one and done process. Follow up with a ceramic/nano coating and you're good for years.

    Next step up from Meguiar's Flaghsip Cleaner wax with CCS Green polishing pad

    Having had the good fortune of attending the boat detailing class with Mike - would recommend the Marine 31 Captains Compound. The product works as advertised and we used to put a "show class" shine on a heavily oxidized gel coat. It worked so well that I bought it for use on my own boat and it...

    Still struggling with streaking- any suggestions?

    With respect to the professional responses and solutions - I use a window cleaner to get the major stuff off and then a "Magic Eraser" and a bucket of clean, warm water (at least two iterations). Absolutely the best results of any method I've tried. As a bonus recommendation - turn around in the...

    Stumped

    Magic Eraser, two small buckets of water (clean and rinse), clean and dry mf towel. The magic eraser will take everything off your windshield (rinse often) and you buff it dry with the mf towel. Pro tip: kneel on the front seat while facing backwards using your arm and hand upside down - easiest...

    Nanoskin

    Recommend that you start with the blue sponge (least aggressive method to start) and move to medium or heavy if that doesn't work. I recently used the blue sponge on a black car and it worked great - no marring and definitely took the contaminants off. As was said in another thread about this...

    Megs dub tire shine

    I used this on a black Cadillac and had no sling occur - it's been about 3 weeks and still looks good along with some serious beading when wet.

    Claying

    I just used the nanoskin fine sponge on a black Cadillac and noticed no marring, huge time savings and - like Odisius said - just used the wash soap already in the bucket. If it didn't mar black, I would think you would have no issues.

    New microfiber arrived w/ review

    I have to ask, who did you buy these through and, what is the description they use for this towel? Looking at A&H's website, it's not clear which towel you purchased. Thanks
