    Sorry AG, found my new source for tips and tricks.

    The bmw video actually looked like a used car lot. He must be the inhouse detailer. Shines them up before they go out.

    Taking off old wax/sealants

    Oh ok, thanks. I never used it, but going by the description it would have you believe otherwise.... Good to know it can be used under sealants

    Turtle Wax Liquid Ice Clay stuff

    Its not even worth the $5. I have a practically full bottle that's just been collecting dust. Want a sample? Anyways, I followed the directions and it left a nasty residue that was pretty tough to take off. I even tried a different method and still got the same thing. it will not take off...

    Taking off old wax/sealants

    Pinnacle bodywork lotion will clean the paint but I believe it contains fillers and oils. This is fine if your going to put a carnauba over it but you may have bonding issues with sealants. Klasse AIO is also a paint cleaner that will leave slight protection behind that's fine under any sealant...

    Best LSP Combo?

    If protection and durability are your main concerns go with collonite. Souveran is a "beauty" wax. Its not really knownm for outstanding durability.

    Taking off old wax/sealants

    Even though its not sold here ## citrus wash and gloss/clear when used in higher dilutions will strip the car.

    Polish help before Klasse AIO on Charger

    Thats a big car to do by hand. Polishing by hand is a big task to undertake. Anyways, any polish will be fine under KAIO. KAIO has cleaning chemical in it that will remove anything anyways. Which means, dont waste your time putting a glaze under it. If you really want to get anal about it you...

    Simple Question.

    You dont HAVE to use the entire applicator. Like Asphalt said I fold like have in the jar and swipe it. I than only use that half to apply it.

    Used NXT tech wax liquid, threw it away

    Was it version 2.0? As much as I hate the durability of it, its ease of use was through the roof. I used to just slather it on, in the hot sun, let it dry for 30 minutes and all I had to do was run a mf over it. I never had to use excessive amounts of force to take it off. That was one of the...

    Swirl and scratch removal

    Though I have no experience with menzerna, I know powergloss is a heavy cut compound, and I know the pc has a tough time breaking it down. So knowing that, I wouldn't even attempt trying powergloss by hand. Way too much trouble by hand. Meguiars new products with SMAT technology all work...

    does it have to be halogen?

    All different types of lighting would be optimal. LED, flourescent, halogen, incandescent, all show marring that one or the other wont. BTW, the led flashlights that work in this type of situation actually cost more than a quality halogen set.

    Heavy swirls removed with PC?

    Sip=menzerna super intensive polish. Calling an Orange pad w/m105 on a pc a strong swirl remover is an understatement. Start with something less agressive. Maybe m105 on a white pad

    Where to buy microfiber in super bulk

    Same here rsurfer.....I do love them though.......as throw aways. Theyre great for everything rsurfer mentioned. Price is no indicator of quality as we all know, but which ones do you own. Just asking so I wont buy those for my paint. Ive bought mf from quite a few vendors and all have been...

    Meguiars vs Mothers

    I think you need to be more specific about what you want to do. You mentioned using the powerball with nxt. So are you looking for a faster way of applying wax? For me, hand application is faster and uses less product than machine app. If your looking to polish than don't waste your time with...

    Craigslist detailing adds

    Most Craigslist "Detailers" are really just carwashers. There's a difference. Too bad most people don't know. So when I'm talking to people about pricing, their eyes get wide when I tell them how much. But 9 times out of 10 these people are confusing a car wash with a full detail. The 10th...

    Where to buy microfiber in super bulk

    I would never use those costco ones for paint. I use them as throw aways for wheel wells/rims/engines, etc.

    Fk425

    There's really nothing that will "repel" dust or pollen. What it really comes down to is how much more does it attract dust and pollen. Carnauba based sprays and waxes tend to attract it more. I just got a gallong 425 in today. I'm going to do a little test. I'm gonna tape 5 sections of a tv...
