So I spent about 4 hours cleaning and detailing my car, inside and out. It was a pretty comprehensive cleaning which included:
Exterior:
XMT Gel Shampoo & Conditioner in the Wolfgang Foam Cannon
Meguiars Wheel Bright
Meguiars APC +
Meguiars Degreaser
Meguiars Medium Clay
ONR
Interior...
I just used it this weekend and it works fine. I second everything in the review.
I primarily use the foam gun and performs just as good as the DP extreme foam and Pinnacle Car Shampoo.
I recently completed a detail on my wife's 2004 Honda accord. It was in good shape but because it was regularly washed at the cheap car wash it was full of fine scratches. I buffed it out and it now looks great but I am wondering how I can take the shine to the next level. Here is what I did...
In my experience the applicator makes a huge difference. The Cobra tire dressing applicators are the best. I agree that the Wolfgang is a great product but I also like DP as well.
I would toss it. You may be able to clean it if you but it in the washing machine but if there are any particulates in the wool it's going to scratch your paint.

There is nothing worse than starting a car and having to do panels more than once - IMO. The rotary will never give you that problem. You can always go to the wool pad which will correct in no time flat.

That sounds like a good idea, although, I am not going to be there maybe others can benefit. I wish I knew before the color was stripped off of my leather seat. It was only a test section but it's still going to need to be fiexed.
I would be really reluctant with using OPC on leather seats because I did and it tool the die out of the leather on me. This stuff is super strong. I used it full strength (on accident).
You can try 3:1 or 1:1 but be careful because I guarantee you that full strength is TOO STRONG!
I wish that I had some pictures to share with you guys but was not really planning to do a review.
I got my last shipment with a 3-pack of Cobra Flex Foam Tire Dressing Applicators. I had been using some cheap foam applicators from O'Reilly to apply tire dressing previously. I had been...
