I haven't seen the big one, but I really doubt there's any difference in the material. It just wouldn't make sense to make two different combinations as opposed to producing one material, just cut and sewn into two sizes. I have the 16x16 inchers and they are without a doubt the best towels I've...

I've been doing that for years. The past few winters, my Black DD has had a cocktail of DG501 to clean, followed by DG105, both mixed with DG601. I've used Collinite 915, 476 or FK1000p as the final layer and it lasts nearly forever on a DD parked outside 24/7 in PA. After my spring cleanup, I...

Another vote for the GG's. They're just amazing. Bill

I went thru one bottle, but didn't buy it again. It does help, but it's not nearly as effective or as durable as a dedicated coating, even the low-end products like Rain-X or Griot's (my personal favorite) Bill

I agree. As the Junkman says "technique trumps product". A gallon if D120 will probably last me the next two lifetimes. Bill

Yep. It's become my go-to sap dissolver. A little light rubbing with a finger dissolves even the big globs while the lubricants (glycerin, I think) help prevent marring. Obviously, it's removing LSP, but so will any other solvent strong enough to remove the sap. If it's designed for hand...

It's perennially rated as a "Best Buy" by Consumers' Reports. If you can't trust CR, who can you trust? Bill

I used a Nanoskin Medium Disk by hand on my Black DD Lacrosse last weekend. Never again. I took all the precautions, used Britemax Shampoo in the wash bucket and still marred the heck out of my paint. M205 took care of it all, but it made for some extra time and effort. If you want it, PM me...

Thank you sir! Email sent Bill

Agreed also. Don't let the small 16x16 inch size influence your decision. These are absolutely the thirstiest towels I've ever used! Bill

I've tried a few Buff n' Shine pads and I'm very happy with their performance and longevity. I've never tried the MF polishing pads, so count me in! Bill

I have Michelins on two of the family fleet, with Uniroyal and BFG T/A's on the others. Michelins, IMO are the most user friendly of the bunch, next to the BFG's. My usual go-to is Duragloss 253. Nowhere near a coating in durability, but a nice low-gloss look and respectable longevity. One of my...

I'm sorry I ever opened this thread. It caused me to empty my shelves and take inventory. Including sprays and cleaner waxes the count is 32. Meguiar's -7 Duragloss -4 Collinite -3 Blackfire -3 Wolfgang -3 Optimum -2 Griot's -2 Pinnacle -2...

I just finished mine last night, using a Dewalt 14.4 volt "snakelight" and the same Solux bulb. It couldn't have been easier, requiring just a bit of Dremel work to fit the bulb and socket in place of the original bulb and reflector. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I'll try and get...

I've been using the Collinite #850 Metal Wax on my El Camino for many years, on the chrome as well as stainless and aluminum. 850 is not as aggressive as many other polishes, so nasty areas may need a stronger polish at first, or #0000 steel wool with the 850, but the legendary Collinite...

Richy, what dilutions do you find are best with LATA and Zep 505? I'm using 4:1 with both Zep Citrus and Purple, but 505 seems weaker than purple. Bill

My favorite all-purpose towels are these:Super Soft Deluxe Microfiber Towels with Rolled Edges, 12 Pack They're reasonable when bought in quantity, absorbent and safe for wax removal on the most delicate finishes I've encountered. I've noticed that the same towel in green is the one you always...

Mine are PAR 20 (sorry for the error in my first post) 500 lumens, 5000k temp. I suppose something brighter will work, but these are compact in size, quite portable and I'm very happy with performance. Bill

No, mine's a very well-equipped CXL. I bought it about a year and a half ago with 40,000 miles. The wheels are the optional 17 inchers, which are real chrome-plated aluminum. I know positively, as I had to grind the chrome off the inner bead surfaces of two wheels, where moisture got underneath...

The pillar covers are coated with what GM terms a "UV Coating". Buick was replacing them under warranty years ago for coating failure. Can't tell in the picture, but my '07 has the same condition: I've been polishing them with Meguiar's UC on an orange pad and they look respectable - for a...
