Just wanted to offer some quick thoughts on these two SCG products, both were a free gift from AG (thanks!): Pacific Blue Wash & Wax: I don't usually use one-step products but this one has been very impressive, and handy. It's highly concentrated so a bottle lasts a long time. It's not quite as...

Hi all; Sorry I haven't updated this thread. I've done a few more tests with Optimum Instant Detailer: undiluted on dry, clean paint; undiluted on wet, clean paint; diluted 2 OID : 1 H20 on dry clean paint; and diluted on dry, dusty paint. Diluted was far and away the best. It left no...

I'll let others point out the (many) products available to combat swirl marks. But the long and short of it is, there are two major classes of products that can affect swirls: those that level the clear coat (referred to as "polishes" and "compounds"), and those that fill swirl marks with...

As promised, David Ghodoussi is a real nice guy. I won't post our correspondence but he suggested that it may be an incompatibility between OID and P21S 100%. He suggested another try immediately following a wash, which I'll do either this Sunday or (due to the holiday) next. I'll report back...

:whs: Don't be afraid to use enough lube. Also, those pictures show a guy using the whole clay bar - don't. Cut it in thirds. It's easier to work with that way (since you have to fold it frequently), and if you drop it, you don't ruin the whole bar.

You and Alex might be on to something with the dilution/dampness. That's the next thing I'll try. It's plausible that the batch I bought is just glitchy. One ID I've used a lot - no names :p - had a consistency problem in the manufacturing process. No two bottles I ordered were the same, so it...

I don't think you'd want to remove your glaze right after putting it on =)

Indoors, in plastic sealable storage bins from Target/etc. One large bin is for the 7424, pads, polishes/waxes/sealants. Another is for washing: soap, drying towels, mitts and hardware. Another for interior detailing, and yet another for tire gels and clays. Meanwhile, a growing collection of...

Good guess, but I can't imagine what it might be. It was polished with Menzerna PO91E (white pad), then Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish (white pad), then two coats of P21S 100% (hand applicator) spaced two weeks apart. Last one was two weekends ago. Tried OID again this evening, two hours...

I didn't shake vigorously, maybe that was it. My paint is lovingly cared for and otherwise in factory condition. I never wash, dry or detail in the sun, ever ever ever. I only used OID in the shade, several hours after sunset (it's summer here). Like I said, I don't rely much on ID for shine...

Maybe, but that wouldn't address the streaking. For what it's worth, this car is currently bug-free. I know it's currently en vogue to advertise that your product is "Spray on, wipe off", but OID is advertised this way and is harder to remove than ID's which explicitly say "Spray on, wipe dry...

I had JUST finished considering SCG Wash & Wax, so I'm convinced your company is staffed by mindreaders.

I got the smaller, ready to use bottle. 17oz I think? Good call though.

Looks great.

Just got my order and had to try out Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer right away. It goes on wet and sloppy, comes off streaky and smeary, and smells like cheap bubblegum. It takes more muscle & twice as much time to buff off as my last ID. Didn't appear to add any gloss to the P21S I...

I got a great free gift with my last order: Surf City Garage Wash & Wax, and SCG Tire Gel! Score! Thanks AG

Just Liquid Souveran, I like it fine. Speaking of which, where did PNB intend for SSII to fit in the marketplace? From the literature alone (which indicates it's a formula upgrade), it's hard to differentiate it from Souveran. Is it meant to be the budget formula?

I'll bet they only let retailers buy the whole product line at wholesale price, or nothing at all.

I have 100% but not Concours. People say Concours is warmer and 100% is sharper, personally I think 100% looks sick.

According to Ultraviolet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Right now a skeptic should be thinking "I wonder how much octyl methoxycinnamate is in my Fuzion?"
