I've wondered the same thing myself

Ok so I'm not the only one getting this.

To be clear OP, I sealed with BFWD before i waxed. :xyxthumbs:

Congrats to the winner. Reading your post, you did have a good sales pitch! :dblthumb2:

I have xpel ultimate on my car. I use BF Midnight Sun paste wax, which is a wipe on wipe off wax. So, it doesn't dry before you wipe it off. For other (and good practice in general), non-WOWA waxes: wipe in straight lines and move from the clear bra down to the paint. That way, it won't build...

Thanks for the excellent explanation Mike. It seems to me that an open cell foam pad like the cyclo pads would be a better fit for me. I wonder if the buff 'n shine pads are also open cell...which would explain them not warping like the hydro tech pads. And yes, compression washer installed

Thanks for the responses. I usually run it at speed 6 with the 4" pads... sometimes at 5. On the trickier surfaces where the body lines change alot (which is where I use the smaller pads to begin with), the pad would stop rotating because it is tough to stay parallel with the surface. For...

I use a PC 7424 XP with a 3.5" backing plate and 4" pads. The backing plate and pads get very hot. In fact, my LC Hydro Tech 4" pads get burnt and warped after minimal usage. The orange cutting pad below is the most extreme example. You can see the burnt area in the middle of the white...

"on the road" is the terminology used in the article you presented. I was simply quoting that. http://www.autonews.com/article/20130806/RETAIL/130809922?template=mobile&X-IgnoreUserAgent=1

The reverse could be true in other cases when talking about medians. However, it would not make sense when talking about cars. The older a car gets, the less likely it will be that it is still on the road. Therefore, there are more "newer" cars on the road. But, the average is higher than...

Found one for you Review: Optimum Gloss-Coat Paint Coating - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum

Agree. It eliminates outliers (i.e. a minority of cars that are way older), which can skew the numbers

I'll do a review! This car isn't out yet, but it will be the hottest thing on the road!

Thanks guys. I'll give it a thorough 2 bucket wash and apply another layer of wax. Claying shouldn't be necessary since I just did it 5 weeks ago, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I use a Speedy Prep "clay" towel, which uses a rubber technology for decontamination (is that what nanoskin uses?) I did my whole car 2 times with it. Then, when I did my mom's car it left behind marks that are strikingly similar to the ones you have. I used a ton of detail spray, so...

Newb question here, bare with me. About 5 weeks ago I polished my car, sealed with BFWD, then waxed with Midnight Sun. Now, I would like to apply another layer of wax. Can I simply do a normal wash then apply the wax? Should I clay first, or would that remove sealant?

Glad I could help Mike. Though I'd have to make about 9,000,000 more similar "helps" to come anywhere close to making up for the awesome info and advice you provide to us here:thankyousign: Are you meaning to tell me I just bought a bunch of old school "fat pads" for polishing? :cry: Haha oh...

Can you create polls here at AG forums? Would be awesome for discussions like this.

Lol. I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out. I wish it was Memorial Day though...I don't want summer to be over.

Hey Mike, I think I may have found a finger slip in your post "The water spots, swirls and scratches were for the most part completely removed which meets our expectations. Next we switched back to the less aggressive Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish with a Lake Country Flat 6.5" Orange...
