I meant specifically dealing with the clay. It's very fiddly for me and I'm either worrying about dropping it on the ground or reshaping it to some workable shape. I still have some clay and it may be relegated to wheel duty.

It took a LOT of passes to get the paint "quiet". It also took a lot of rinsing out of the Speedy Prep. Ultimately I went ahead and applied some more firm downward pressure to speed things up. I might not do that on good paint but on this car, a little marring would not make things worse...

Did you politely ask him not to touch your car and that he respect the amount of work you put into it?

I wanted to put LEDs in my MINI but the ECU checks the current in the circuit. Since LEDs draw much less current, it registers an error. I could get resistor LEDs but somehow that feels... pointless? I do like the idea of never changing a bulb again though. The other thing that bugs me...

Carnauba is a tree...

Doesn't matter. Swirls are made up of straight lines anyway. But I use my GG with blue pad...

Yes, it's nice being close enough to AG to get orders two days after placing the order. It's like Amazon Prime for detailing supplies--especially with all the free shipping! Our UPS guy is now driving a UHaul for the holiday rush. Happens every year. You should hear him talk up the "mom's...

Ours is "Rory" and apparently he's internet famous: (Rory knows ME by first name and that I get all the car stuff)

One thing I didn't see ask is what temperature you're applying the opti-seal at. My first application was learning how to find that balance between overapplication and streaks and underapplication and dragging. I used the yellow applicator as well. Is it possible the glass isn't really...

Mark, are you applying the opti-seal VERY thin? One or two sprays should be enough to do a whole car door. if the applicator is already primed and wet, you can use even less.

oh really? can I toggle the master switch for my account to only pack with paper?

Are you only eating 233 calories a day? That's a hell of a diet!

He should show some blurry pictures of his work. He might actually be really good.

A certain age? Uh oh. For what it's worth, some cola companies in the states created a line made with regular sugar instead of HFCS. Might be worth finding to avoid paying the extra price to travel to mexico?

I usually remove and clean parts when stuff like that happens. Cloth and brushes just can't reach the mechanical parts sometimes and it's much easier when it's off the car.

RAZOR BLADE! I wish I tried it earlier. I put a fresh blade in my Snap-On scraper handle and had to hit the contaminated glass spots with a few passes at a pretty steep angle to bite into the stains. There was a slight residue left from the film (wiped away easily) but the blotches were gone...

compare to CG?

I"ve got rainx and G1 on the same glass right now just for funsies. I have the streaky haze with the wipers but they are due for a replacement. I plan to clean, polish, and reapply just the G1 and add a set of new wipers and I will see if the smeary haze goes away. I suspect it will.

don't look now but there are some rotary microfiber pads on the Cyber Busters page.
