    Car Detailing Regimen, thoughts? feedback?

I am pretty consistent with the timing of my regimen so I have broken down my detailing according to time below. Background Information: First I will provide...

    Streaky Windows

    I did... It didn't really do anything. I think there is some kind of film on there and my understanding is that all clay does is remove hard containments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Streaky Windows

    Update... So I decided to try cleaning the windows with white vinegar while this did not solve the issue 100% it drastically improved it... I think some more cleaning with the vinegar could resolve this issue 100%. I am assuming that this indicates that there is some kind of road film on the...

    Streaky Windows

    I don't think that is the issue as it did not do this when I first got the car and there is only about 16,000 miles on the car.

    Streaky Windows

    Ok so no matter what I do I cant get my windshield wipers to not streak when I use them... When ever I use my windshield wipers they make cloudy streaks on the windows that disappear as soon as the wipers are turned off. This makes it difficult in heavy rain to be able to see at times as not...

    First Pad Purchase...

    I am also looking to purchase my first DA Polisher along with the needed pads. One thing that got my attention here is the need for 6 pads of each color, is this number of pads really needed? I thought these pads were pretty durable and reusable? From what I had been reading that one pad (hex...

    Mechanic thought he was doing me a favor

    Yeah that stinks... So these things vary from state to state, but unfortunately if they had you sign any kind of paper work prior or after they did the damage to the car is is possible that you signed away any legal liability that may have fallen onto them. That being said I don't see where it...

    Foam Gun?

    I have been doing some research into using a foam gun and I like the idea of doing this as a pre-rinse. However I was wondering what everyone else's thoughts are on this are. I do not have a pressure washer and don't want to purchase one right now so I would be forced into going with one of the...

    Is there a need for water washes ?

    So thank you for the information and viewpoint... I could see how on a lightly dirty car the water-less was system would be the way to go as I would think that it would save time... Would you guys agree that say on a car that is covered in winter road grime that due to the number of microfiber...

    Is there a need for water washes ?

    So I don't have any first hand experience with using a water-less wash system, but I do find it to be an interesting topic... My question is though are there any advantages to the water-less wash system over the traditional soap and bucket method? Once again I have no first hand experience...

    Cobra Supreme Guzzler Vs. the ShamWow

    I just don't normally do that... Although I would admit that I could see where that might be a better technique esp with the ShamWow. Do you have any experience with Blotting Vs. Wiping when using something like the Guzzler? Do you think it would make a difference?

    Cobra Supreme Guzzler Vs. the ShamWow

    See below... "How is that any different than drying your car normally??" Depends on how you dry your car normally and if the car is waxed or not? "Controlling the environment would be doing inside where wind can't blow dust, sun won't heat the paint, and a hundred other different angles." I...

    Cobra Supreme Guzzler Vs. the ShamWow

    1. Car had been waxed about a week before. 2. Car had been washed/cleaned prior to doing the test. 3. ShamWow and Guzzler were both clean. 4. Used Chemical Guys P40 as a lubricant. The only thing that could have scratched the hood was the fibers from each towel and I was not concerned about...

    Newb, Few Questions Here

    Since you already have a polisher and it appears that you are willing to go that route instead of doing it by hand I would be incline to agree with the others and say get yourself a GG 6 inch polisher. I would also recommend a dual bucket setup with grit guards, personally I use three buckets...

    Cobra Supreme Guzzler Vs. the ShamWow

    See above quote, someone else asked the same thing... Also to add to that if you go to the ShamWow site https://www.shamwow.com/ it clearly states that the towel will work wet or dry.
