Maybe you need to wait longer before wiping it off. I know that for the sealant I use I have to wait about half and hour before I wipe it off otherwise it might streak. Just a thought.

Yeah its best to wash them right away once your done with them. Also let them soak in the washer in hot water for a bit. Then let the washer do its thing. Once its done inspect your towels before drying them. If a towel isn't fully clean then wash it by hand. I usually just pour a little...

If you're not willing to wait, I know how you feel by the way, then try and find some Meguiars #83 (dual action polish) and #80 (professional speed glaze) at the local autoparts store. Some of them have them, some don't. As for wax Meg's #26 hi-tech wax is good.

Pick me, I love DP!!!

Menzerna should be more than enough. I'm happy with my results. I'm assuming your green pad is an edge2000 pad making it a cutting pad, right? In that case use it with IP and you'll need a polishing pad for FPII. I'll continue the trend and agree with everyone else, take the money saved and...

You might have a hell of a time trying to buff that ceramic clear with just XMT and a PC. If the paint isn't in too bad a shape you could probably get away with it but you might still spend hours on it. If XMT doesn't cut it step up to Menzerna. As far as I know they make the only polish...

I would think you want to use a plush towel to trap the dirt and not drag it along the surface. Just get a set of towels and use them exclusively for S&W, thats how I would do it anyway.

How about a really strong shampoo? I've read on here that Meg's NXT is pretty strong and take off some wax. Maybe you can wash it with that a couple of times.

Might want to wait two or three months after its been painted for the paint to fully cure. Otherwise you could end up scratching the hell out of it because the paint might still be too soft. Then you could seal it.

Actually I was talking about 4-in-1. I made a QD solution out of it. See my thinking was that since it is used for washing anyway maybe I could use it for some very light cleaning as well as a quick detailer, but I didn't think it worked all that great as a cleaner. Like justin said the...

I tried using 4-in1 as a QD for very light cleaning but was not impressed. It felt like I was just spraying water on the car. I'll probably just use the solution I made as a lube for claying. It does work well for washing though when used a bucket and wash mitt.

There are a lot of really cool cars in there.

That looks like a good plan. However personally I don't think its neccessary to wash a second time after claying or wait 24hrs between coats of wax. If you do decide to add a sealant in there then you would have to wait 24hrs. Just remember to apply the sealant first then natty's on top of...

You don't want to use a QD to clean your car unless its very very light dusting. Also if you want to wash your car but don't want to use a lot of water maybe you should look into some renseless washing products like DP's 4-in-1 or Optimum No rinse. Two to three gallons of water is all you'll...

I totally see what you're saying. I used to be one of those people, though I never used Turtle Wax. However with that advent of the internet and forums like this one I can know do plenty or research and educate myself on the difference between products. I'm sure there are plenty of people out...

Dixie who???

What about detail supply shops and places like that. It would be great to have distributors scattered around the country carry some of these brands. I know of a place close to my home that carries P21S, and meguiars prof. line of products, the stuff you normally can't get at the local autoparts...

$17 is about the only difference I know off. I'm with you about not being able to find the details about how people know they are the same. But a lot of people say they are.

Well sorta. I do have a black 00' WS6 but that isn't my car in the avatar. What is in my avatar is actually a drawing that I found online done completely in pecil, its actually pretty cool. I was looking for a drawing or picture of a trans am that I could use when I came across it. Except...

Wow 2600 and 7000 for car wax. For that kind of money you should just put a new coat of paint on the car, it will last longer and spend the money on something else. $100 is provably the most I would be willing to spend on wax. Besides $7K could make my car go awfully fast :D.
