Just ordered a gallon of D114 from 1 local retail store. Called at least 10 local stores and no-one could procure the product. Its avail online but shipping costs add another $10-$15 to the msrp price. I need it for a RW without all the enhancers.
Just an ONR question that I have seen in V1...
Fingernail will scratch. Glove plus particle will scratch it just like dragging a mf along with particle.
Best way is to neutralize area (soften it up) with a rw/ww/d spray/ipa solution. Let it soak well then dab/pat dry it with a mf. Repeat if necessary. Particle should just lift out using a...
I really look forward to a reply from DG TS. I used Enviroshield in April and did not experience problems anywhere close to what you have. Using SQC on the last step prior should have cleaned up any leftovers, oils from the buff.
Also, the recommendation to me to use the MF appl came from DG's...
What did you use for the 2-step buff?
I was told to use the mf appl side of the pad that came with the kit to apply the DG coating. Why did you use a suede cloth?
I wouldn't use paint polish. Like stated above you may have different abrasives in the paint polish and you may have different polish lubricating oils left over on the glass. Not worth it in my opinion. Wipe glass clean, clay or Nanoskin then use a dedicated glass polish.
Its not just you Klasse, its also me too.
New grit (tree sap mist from April 2014 onward, 4/14/2014 was when I first apply'd DG coating) started slowwwly appearing on my car. I used Pinnacle Ultra Clay/Pinnacle Lube in July to remove this grit using baggie test as my indicator. 1 pass, 2...
That sponge is shot. Plus you should be using Glide as the lubricant.
A few weeks ago I bought the 6" pad and Glide. That's a dream combination for claying.
On a test panel a few years ago, I went thru SS paint (no cc) rather quickly using the F3401.
I've been using the PC7336SP for over 10 years now and it still works for my needs. Never ever came close to strike-thru. But the day of an upgrade is coming soon for me.
I would look at the Rupes...
I always power-wash for $2 prior to a RW or a WW.
After DG coating my car in April to get that self-cleaning slickness on the paint, I found that just a simple PW was sufficient to get the pollen, dust, lite dirt off. Then pat dry. Come winter that may not be sufficient.
I did try an ONR...
I've used 4 different LC pads to apply sealants...Black, Blue, Red, Gold.
Could not really find much difference in results. They all worked.
Having said that, I prefer the Red Pad only because LC TS recommended it to me.
I have all 3 Vers. That's V1 according to your pic and my bottle. The smell of all 3 and the color are all slightly different. V1 was medium blue in color, V2 slightly darker, V3 is a paler blue but says New Formula on the bottle.
Good question you ask. I too cannot cleanup sufficiently my LC pads after using AIO's w/sealant, all straight sealants, all single stage paint stains. Like you say, oils are not a problem. Hope someone has a cleaning solution.
Always wondered why does the plastic baggie super-sensitize the fingers.
If you run your fingers over a freshly clayed area on your car its always silky smooth. But with the baggie its rough.
Why is that? Anyone know?
Like faulsky said the extra laundry is a big turn off for me too. 10-15 mf to wash. I recently bought a new $1200 front loader. No way will I wash dirty mf in it. I now do rinseless during the 3 winter months only, preceded by a power wash. 2BM sometimes becomes 3BM for me. The drive to the car...

1. like RA says: move the truck away from your house and cover it with a car cover. if you don't have a cover buy one. Poop doesn't penetrate a cover.
2. call the Houston police and ask them if they would respond to a "kids playing a football game in the streets 5-8PM"? If yes, keep...
conman: I too bought some Armaly sponges from Lowes a few weeks ago and will use them up starting DEC. Maybe not as soft as ProLine but definitely worth trying. Just go gingerly and don't be too aggressive.
Klaase: I warned you about the price. I bot 3 from UK last year, used one with ONR and...
I only do power wash followed by rinseless (2BM 1 to rinse the sponge) during the winter months (DEC-FEB). I will switch to Meguiar's #D114 rinseless due to leaving less behind and it doesn't stain wash media as much as ONR. Supernatural sponge is what I will use due to it unique construction...
