    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I've noticed this too :mad: and yet I'm still waiting to see if there's any bigger sales in the next couple days...

    Preferred Plastic Polish

    Griots has a new plastic all-in-one. I'm not sure how it performs on piano black, but perhaps worth looking into.

    What are these little red spots on my car?

    If you can remove them with a quick detailer why can’t the normal wash remove them? I’m not sure Essence + is a “polish”?

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I usually put my towels in a plastic bag before putting them in a detailing bag. This is a bit of a pain though & I don't really see others do it, so I thoroughly vacuumed & cleaned my detailing bag and put some towels straight in. I'll shake out & inspect them before using and will see how it...

    Mirka 3"

    Are they using this to remove sanding marks from wet sanding isolated defects, or are they using it to remove defects that were accidentally overlooked when wet sanding?

    “Will not fade, heat-resistant, waterproof, , UV protective,good light transmittance,and with smooth surface.with super stretchability, scratch and wear resistance.” according to description. Although UV protective is not UV proof, so I would assume at some point it might yellow again. Good...

    Mirka 3"

    I think it's... twice the price of the rupes HLR75? To me that puts it in a different price category, but I'm not aware of whether it's in a different performance category (specifically in terms of obtainable results). Oh, and just some thoughts: * What is the intended use of this tool? How...

    Hand buffing residue/scratch on new car??

    My vote is to go to a reputable detailer near you (or the dealership detailer if they are good) and ask them. If there is a scratch it could be from claying or the bug sponge.

    Thanks for your response, and I agree with you. I also still use (and prefer) clay bars.

    The autofiber brush is advertised as supposed to be good around wheel calipers... but I agree it's not good enough. These brushes indeed look thinner in the picture. Thank you.

    To me they seem to saturate easily (at which point they start grabbing). Also, I find that are less thick than other towels, so they absorb less downward pressure.

    I don't get it: Why are the brushes better than a wheel woolie, boars hair brush, or autofiber wheel brush? I can see preferring them over microfiber towels because reach, if your wheel isn't off. I get the clay, but wasn't everyone saying synthetic clay is so much better than clay when those...

    WWYD : Ivory Interior

    I am also not an expert in leather so I may be wrong, but... I believe semi-aniline leather typically has a thin layer of color coating applied between the (likely dyed) leather and a clear coating. I do know that isolated damage can occur to semi-aniline leather, as I've seen it happen...

    sorry, I meant continuous with three batteries ( 2 in the charger and one in the polisher). Although with 40 minutes run time 40 minutes charge time, 2 batteries would be enough if everything performs as expected. Also, part of me thinks that by continuous they might be trying to say the...

    In their video they mentioned gloss black, piano black trim. People might like it for that. I haven't decided if including a brush makes me like it more or less. But I've yet to find something that I like more than leatherique. Wait, coating remover? I'm guessing this is only for their...

    AutoFiber Scrub Ninja - Anyone use it -long term-

    "AGGRESSIVE BUT GENTLE CLEANING – The stiff nylon bristles brush away debris gently and with ease. More aggressive than a microfiber towel but more gentle than a melamine sponge." Being more aggressive than microfiber explains how they can clean better, so for me the question is: is there...
