    QD / spray wax after rinse less or waterless wash?

    After a rinseless ONR or waterless UWWP wash and the car is dry I usually give it a quick wipedown with blackfire Deep Gloss Spray, seems to add a bit more slickness to the paint.

    Anyone tried this?

    don't you get that stinky sour smell from the vinegar when you use it? I would think that if you wash your MF with it, clean your carpets, seats...that there is trace amounts left and that will stink everything up.

    MicroFiber towels for cleaning tires

    I've been doing a weekly Ultima WWP wash on my car now for the past couple of months. and I've found the easiest and quickest way to do the tires was to simply spritz it down with the WWP and take a old MF and wipe. Comes out great, very clean and no mess or spilled/dripping water. If you do...

    I asked Sal about Z2 in the past and he said that claying will remove the Z2. I simply wash with Dawn, then clay, (either wash again or if I'm lazy wipedown with Z6) then start applying the Z2 again.

    Doing ONR, how to do rims?

    I do the wheels last. Usually I'll spray the tire/rim down with Optima Opti-Clean for a bit more cleansing power and use the leftover ONR mix and a wheel brush to clean. I'll then wipe down/dry the rim and tire with old MFs that I have deligated to wheels only duty. If I'm out of OOC then...

    Looking for a Front windshield/dash shade

    get your winshield tinted. I have a tint called Air80 on my windshield, it's pretty much clear, you can't tell the difference but it helps to reject heat and glare. I think it is made by llumar and is specifically made for windshields.

    Primed pad storage

    don't leave it in there too long. I've seen pads grow mold in as little as a week. I don't think one day will do any damage though.

    storing applicators

    I tried washing my foam pad I use for BFWD and nothing seems to get it out. I can get it to congeal and and squeeze it out from the pores but it still won't come out like new. There is always some stuff remaining. I'll have to get one of those mini plastic drawer organizers for my pads I guess.

    Pinnacle or XMT Clay?

    I've noticed the Pinnacle clay is very fine, it won't remove a lot of contaminants. I'll only use it if the paint is basically clean to start off with. If there's noticeable contaminants then I'd go with a heavier cut clay.
