    Really don't like the ShMitt

    If my Schmitt grabs I know I need more lubricant (e.g. DP rinseless auto wash) in the water. I don't scrub, just wipe accross lightly and let the soap and water do the work. Takes some getting used to as it feels like nothing is happening. i think we are used to scrubbing things to get them...

    microswirls-inevitable?

    Ditto. I have a new black car. The DP and a microfiber is great. My California duster sits on the wall. The DP and a micro is so easy and fast. Liane

    microfiber care

    Wash right away. don't even let stains linger. I have been washing my towels in Woolite. I scrub them between my hands or in the washboard of the utility sink. Does the trick. I think I may try Ivory liquid. Knitter's use it to wash delicate fabrics like cashmere etc. I have read (as far as...

    Wheel ShMitt - how to clean?

    I just cleaned my Schmitt. I wash it in woolite. The trick I think is to rinse, squeeze, rinse, squeeze , rinse etc. When I squeeze it and don't feel anymore particles I consider it done. Takes a lot of water. As far as dawn. it may be a bit harsh. When I wash knitted fabrics like...

    black brake dust specs on rims

    Have been using Wheel Wax for 2 months. I was surprised at how well it works. It really does keep the brake dust off of the rims. I am in New England and the winter is tough. Nice product. Liane

    Thanks Florida Native and tanks Joe P. I just registered at Photobucket. Seemed very user friendly. I NEVER would have figured this out without your help. By the way, if you're in Florida now, send a little heat! Liane

    New to the site

    Hi Jimmie. Actually I got Gel Glass no streak glass polish at the hardware store. It works great. I will get some "auto" polish next time but I have to say that the stuff I got works great. Got my Pinnacle souveran wax in the mail today. It was like getting a fine piece of jewelry. I think I...

    Light Dust.......

    I have a California Duster and like it. As said above I trust it ONLY for light dust. But it is handy and a quick swipe makes the car look nice and me feel good. I also use the DP waterless wash. I do several rounds, the first with plenty of product and a light swipe with the mf. then I do...

    Do you see anything wrong with this wash?

    ok. I think I'll try and do it on a weekend. I can also share a car with one of my sons if I have to. By the way, those are some beautiful cars in your picture. If all else fails, I will tell my husband we have to move to Florida (although I'm a New England girl by heart). Or we could do what...

    Do you see anything wrong with this wash?

    You're an inspiration. I am a new member with nice expensive products and it will be 15 degrees, snowy, with high winds here in CT. I will forge ahead. One thing, if you have to drive your car and it is winter,and you have to wait 24 hours between sealant and wax, and another 12 hours until a...

    new car swirls

    I have an older model 333. It really is just for sanding. I refinished my interior stairs with it. My husband just came home for diner. I informed him that the experts on Autogeek tell me I need a PC 7424. I fed him a nice meal and it is a done deal. I earn my own money but for a good...

    new car swirls

    Thanks. I checked it out online and will look around. I have a PC orbital sander but I don't think my car will like that! Looks like it will make all of my work easier and maybe I can also polish the refrigerator or something. Ya gotta have the right tools.

    new car swirls

    Thanks, I think you are probably right. I can't believe how addicting this is and I haven't even done my car yet. Am keeping it clean with a waterless (DP) wash. Have to get some rim wax as the wheels are just a mess after one day's use. i found that using a galss wax on the windows was a...

    new car swirls

    Have been reading up on members suggestions for swirls. I have a new black Honda (less than a month old) and have mild swirls in two places. I do not have a polisher and probably won't have one fro a while. I am new to the forum, stocking up on the best products, and it gets pricey. Maybe a...
