    Winter maintenance

    That's one of the craziest I heard so far when it comes to the coin-op wash bays LOL. What I wonder if it's such of a healthy thing to clean those grill grates in a coin-op wash bay. But maybe not so much of a problem if you heated them up very thoroughly before use it again. Man that grease in...

    Depending on the coin-op owners how they are with you useing your own products. And do you have one that you have the option to do a last rinse with DI water? If they have an option with DI water. I would get me a foam pump pressure spray bottle or a pump pressure spray bottle. Get you the...

    Please Help Me With A Long Term Protection Plan For My New Truck.

    Is it really a single stage paint or do you mean it's a solid white base coat/clearcoat paint? In your case for the longest durability from it and the highest protection. I would look at a combo of a ceramic coating and a top coat. If you want to go with something that just works and are...

    Cool tool that should make detailing much easier

    Saw a kit here in Sweden so don't know how available it is and don't remember the name of it. But it came in 3 different sizes. Smaller one for the hood so it just gets a little open. The middle one for doors and sedan trunk lids an the larger one for hatchback and SW back. And if you are a...

    Winter Maintenance and Washing with Hot Water

    If you want to get some help with getting the road film off too which usually is more stubborn than the road salt. I would recommend you to try out the Gtechnic W4 Citrus Foam. You can apply with a foamcannon with 1:10 in the foamcannon bottle. Or you can put it in a pump pressure spray bottle...

    My new (to me) 2010 Audi S4, Prestige! :) Come join me through this journey...

    Don't know what happened with the post I tried to do a couple of days ago or if it's in another thread or something. But as grovlet mentioned I would also try the HC400 on the white pad for the micro marring that is. As I think that the sf4500/SF3800 is just not aggressive enough on the hard...

    Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    I have had HCW and TW SNS beside each other on the hood. And on all of the vertical panels I had the new version of Gyeon Wet Coat. Wet Coat blew both away in self cleaning ability from it and longevity even if it had been applyied 6 weeks before. Remember this was on just on a very well...

    Prevent morning freeze on the windshield

    A good glass coating or glass sealant makes it a little easier to scrape of the ice. The ice freezes on the glass in another way then. Otherwise it's finding a great cover. I'm not a fan of the de-icer products if I don't know what's in them and in what amount. Some can be very aggressive to...

    Ceramic coating detailing questions

    Test out how you like it with useing a drying aid. It may be something that you like. You don't know until you try it out LOL. I used Sonax BSD and another QD not sold here. For me it destroyed the absorbancy even if I washed the drying towel very fast afterwards. It took 4-5 washes before my...

    Ceramic coating detailing questions

    Your wash and waterless wash towels would work great with the multible wash media method. When it's under the freezing point I don't wash the cars at all. If we get a little warm weather conditions I wash as usually. Yes I use a foamcannon for the prewash foam. Yes both products don't clogg...

    Help!!! Are these Holograms in my paint (2010 Audi S4)? Used FG400 and G21 w/MEGs MF Pad

    I'm with Rsurfer that you have both micro marring and deeper defects left. Also remember when you cut down the middle deep defects black paint shows the deeper defects very much more in sunlight. I think that the sf4500 has to little cut to correct the micro marring on the hard Audi paint...

    weird substance on car hood and recommended removal techniques?

    Do you park inside of a public parking garage? Some run off inside them can get the water filled with minerals or the cement dust. If getting them very fresh a waterless wash may be enough to desolve it and get lubrication from it. Look up a proper waterless wash technique and get you some...

    Microfiber towels streaking

    Most mf towels comes with an anti-mold in them. There are very few that don't have this in them. And to be certain to get it out it's a good way to wash them when new. There are some that have taken the mf towels and mf wash mitts and such under the microscope. And new mf can be dirty and have...

    Ceramic coating detailing questions

    Personally I like to use the multible wash mitts and mf wash pads when washing the car. Meaning you dunk it in the wash bucket and wash a section with flipping it half way. Put it away and I have an extra bucket for this. Take a fresh wash mitt and do another section. Usually uses 5 wash mitts...

    New with questions

    The basic to get a high gloss is in the with polishing it. Pearl paint in general is great to hide the light defects on the paint. And the downside gets to getting that really high gloss finish some dark solid paints can give. So it comes down to the level of defects you have now on how high...

    Regular wax on rims. ??

    If it's just wax. Spray some APC on it after you have cleaned them and let it dwell and aggitate it lightly and rinse off directly. Don't let chemicals dry on and surface and you will be fine. If you have an acidic based wheel cleaner you can start with that and after a thoroughly rinse. You can...
