Told you I was going to read more of your threads Kappy! How did you turn out on this deal? I think I know the spots you're talking about. Remember, I have a Nissan as well. I think the spots are either a result of manufacturing, or that they come from just the wear and tear of driving...

Hey Kappy, sorry I never posted in your thread man. It's been a long time, how is your Murano holding up? (I'm about to go check out some of your more recent threads!) I think Scott told me once he doesn't post here simply because he doesn't have the time for it. He already posts on two...

There are many variables as another poster said. Yesterday I ONR Wash n Waxed my 350z, including the tire/rims (not barrels and just a little on the wells) in about 20 minutes or so. I do it in my garage, out of the sun and I don't do just one panel at a time. That is a complete waste of time...

It's not clear coat failure?

True. It's not a bad method, I just don't really like using MF towels to wash the car. Plus, like you said, it's more laundry. That's also a big reason I don't prefer it. I have plenty of towels at this point, so that's a nonissue. A couple times this past winter I did use the GDWM, when my...

+1 I would like to pat myself on the back here and point out that I guessed Junkman had no wax on that paint! I knew his philosophy was that wax doesn't add any gloss (or something similar to this). I think their is some validity to this, IDK. On perfect paint, I'm not so sure wax does add...

Here's a great vid by Larry Kosilla (AMMO NYC) demonstrating PDR. Seems like it would take a ton of practice to be good at this, BUT, if you were good at it maybe you could make a real premium performing it along with your details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=undb6jVC3-Q (I apologize...

Ha, thanks! It works for me partly because I have a small car. The first thing I do when washing is get a sopping wet towel and run it along the lowest parts of the car, being sure to turn the towel to a clean side every so often. I then wring that towel out and set it in my dirty pile and...

I've been washing with ONR for years. I used to do two bucket method but now I just use one bucket and I don't even have grit guards. I really don't think there is much chance to damage your vehicle unless it's very dirty. Sometimes I will soak one rag (maybe two) and do the bottom of the car...

Funny, I was going to ask this same question so I'm curious to hear answers. I've had my 32oz bottle of 205 for five years I think, primarily just for my own car, but I've done a couple other cars now--over the last year. I've done one really big truck (quad cab w/ long box), my own car...

Does this glaze or glazes in general stain trim? Just curious as I've never used one. I also have a non-metallic black DD; 2004 350z. I've always wanted to try one. What kind of duration are you getting out of it too?

Glad to read you were able to get rid of the spots.

First things first: Black IS a part-time job. Best thing you can do is come to terms with the fact that that paint is NOT going to stay looking like that forever. Normal driving will create swirls. Washing it will create swirls; in fact, anytime you touch the paint you will create swirls. It...

This is a great post that summarizes things well. I know Scottwax switched to a Rupes pretty much exclusively.

Hey at least you're honest!! The 3401 is the only polisher I've ever used but I have a hard time understanding people that claim the Rupes corrects better. I mean the Flex is forced rotation. You can stand on the damn thing. IDK…. most people mention the MF pads which I have no experience...

I just read all 31 pages of this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say repeatedly that you hate the Flex?

In Edmonton? Get out!!! Haha!! Good point Wilson!

Thanks for the input guys. Eased my mind a bit. I brought my stuff into the utility room already, hopefully next year I don't forget.

Thanks Mike; I'll be sure to shake the heck out of them all tonight when I get home. They should be at room temp. Also, sweet pics. Those are pretty cool items to have man!

I hear you. I've used ONR occasionally this winter and I used Optimum Car Wax a few days ago with no issues. I brought all of my products in tonight and none were separated from what I could tell. Put a little SF4500 on my finger and it looked and smelled the same, so hopefully everything is...
