    combining waxes....

    I'm thinking it would be easier to apply a first coat of one and then top it with the other. I also think the hardening cited above is probably from melting the waxes down too quickly, some of the ingredients probably evaporated or "transformed" in one way or another. If you were to melt and...

    My first detail this weekend

    Looks good to me. As for the 205 pad. I'd start with the grey/black and see if its doing what you want, if its not you can bump up to the white pad. I've used all these products on the pads you mention and your product choices look good to me. Just make sure to prime all your pads and shake...

    Black BMW 328i (with some overyspray at rear)

    why are these cars always so neglected. My mother in law has the same car, same color, same everything and hers is filthy as well. You may want to look into the blackfire SRC line for cars with scratch resistant clear which i THINK this car has, but not sure. 105 works on SRC, but i'm not...

    My truck. finally finished.

    I did it off and on starting Saturday. It was a bit of figuring things out in the beginning, then i got a system going and learned the machine and the pad/product combos etc and it started moving pretty fast. The Klasse, Seal, Wax took almost no time at all. Around half an hour to 45 minutes...

    brake dust and tires

    You only need to post this in one forum/sub-forum. I see it in 3 right now. I know you're anxious to clean up your car, but the mods will likely be deleting 2 of these. Welcome to the forum though, and congrats on your 13 Stang

    brake dust and tire cleaning

    I like Griots Garage to clean and Poorboys Wheel Sealant to keep the wheels clean. I've also used Klasse AIO on wheels and it works nicely as well. The dust just rinses off easy during a wash.

    Detailing Newbie needing top list to start *anxious*

    What kind of experience do you have? Any machine experience, what condition are the cars you'll be working on etc so we can suggest a good first order? There are probably some things you dont need. To keep your entry costs down I'd go with the following Meguiars Gold Class soap (available...

    Carnuba Paste Wax: Who Still Uses It?

    i use it on top of sealant. Im not a pro, just an enthusiast. I think it looks a little better, and gives me an excuse to rewax every week or 2.

    Anybody want to see some bad paintwork?

    Yikes that looks bad. My dad has the same truck in the same color and the paint is GREAT. dont let this lazy guy ruin what was/is a great looking truck with his bad work. Contact your insurance company if you used them. Did you have to sign paperwork to get the truck back ?

    AG microfiber vs. Sam's Club MF

    The local cheap-o stores towels (pep boys, autozone, home depot etc) seem to be pretty similar to the MANGO towels on AG. I have a bunch of them mixed in with my mangos in a drawer and i use them all for door jambs and when they start getting beat up i do the engine bays. I only really do my...
