    3 - Types of Water Spots - Type I, Type II and Type III

    I just encountered some nasty type 2 water spots on an 07 M5 from New York City. I was doing a courtesy detail for friends of mine that own a high performance auto shop (the last shop that had the car had abused it badly so we/they wanted to clean it up for him). I worked with Megs 105 with a...

    Can I put Collinite 845 over AIO?

    I like putting it over Klasse AIO. The AIO cleans and preps for an LSP, and also leaves a LITTLE protection of its own. My new thing is Klasse AIO, DP Poli-Coat, then wax. Its great. :dblthumb2:

    Best Product to use to remove Swirls/Cobwebs

    what part of NJ? I'm down in Voorhees. I just washed my truck Saturday in the snow. i LOVE Megs Ultimate Compound - it works great and is available everywhere. M205 is also my preferred finishing polish as it isn't very abrasive and your pad will dictate what kind of cut you get, I usually use...

    Pressure washers

    I had the Green 1700 from Lowes for a little while. I was disappointed with it and returned it after about a week. I then moved to the Cleanforce 1800 and its okay, but also not enough. It has more GPM and PSI than the Green, but still pretty weak. I now (maybe 6 months after buying the...

    What is this on my paint?

    OP stated he used white pad and XMT Swirl Remover 2 already and had no improvement. Try hitting it with the LC Orange and the XMT2, speed 5 as mentioned above. If no improvement... Megs Ultimate Compound/Orange speed 5/6 will pull that ##### right off there in about a second. Ultimate...

    How much lubricant?

    i also use what some would consider to be an "excessive" amount of clay lube... but it works and makes the job easy. I've been using Poorboys spray and gloss as a lube lately. Its crazy slippery. Before that I used Mothers Show time and Meguiars Ultimate QD and they were both pretty decent...

    Trouble with 845

    I love my 845. I've only had it on the truck for 2-3 weeks now but i drove it around in the hurricane this weekend and water was beading like crazy afterwards. I even took the truck off road and even the nasty muddy sandy water beaded on the hood. I re-washed it today and all the nasty dirt...

    Review:Chemical Guys- MR. Pink

    I have some mr pink in the garage right now. I wanted to try it out this weekend but with the "hurricane" coming I'll probably skip it till next weekend. As far as the factors in foam... PSI, Water Flow, Dilution Ratio, and setting on the cannon are all pretty equal factors. I'm running an...

    Radio for when doing details

    I got myself an Ihome for around $100. I do everything at my house and also have an iphone and ipods. So i can get whatever i want whenever i want to listen to. The sound is powerful enough that its in the back of the garage and i can clearly hear it at the end of my driveway. neighbors have...

    What's the best way to deal with bugs?

    I have this one and it works great for bugs, sap, miscelanous sticky stuff from who knows where, and bird poop. I keep one in the glove box of my truck with a small QD bottle for those days where I'm feeling really compulsive about being clean. That sponge looks cool though. I may need to get one.

    Sealant after AIO

    Any of these. I like Klasse SG from my experiences with it. I went to a poorboys EX-P on my last re-stock and found it was kind of a pain to apply smoothely because it is SO thin.

    glass towels

    I actually just used a cheapo micro that come in the packs of 12-24-30 (similar to the mango breeze) this morning on my work truck. It was so filthy you couldnt even see through it in certain light (i share it with a messy guy) and they did a pretty good job but i had to use 3 or so of them bc...

    Is Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant supposed to not to be smooth to the touch?

    Welp. I learned something today. Never thought the baggie would actually amplify any bumps. I have been doing just the plain finger drag test after claying... shucks. i also had a similar result to the OP once when sealing my truck with EX-P. I applied, waited 45 minutes, wiped off, let sit...

    Why wax after a sealent?

    I've convinced myself that i can visually tell a difference. Also. if you get a bird bomb or something and it sits, it will eat at the Carnuba vs eating at the sealer. its just an extra layer of protection. but its probably just because I like doing it. Its by far the easiest part of the...

    M105 & M205 Questions.

    You can spritz it with a quick-detailer before wiping to help it come off. Part of the process is to remove the product while its still a bit "wet"... and the wetness helps it all come off. I'm still a bit of a newb with 105/205 as far as how much do use, i think i use too much sometimes, it...

    Is this worth the money? Who uses it??

    I'd like to know the difference between even a Fuzion or Midnight Sun vs DP Maxwax or even Poorboys Nattys really. I read the description of this CG wax before on their site and it had me laughing a little bit. I dont know if there is ANY wax worth that kind of money. But i wear glasses so...
