So I have two questions, maybe somewhat dumb, and I think I know the answer to one already, but here goes: I got some WG SiO2 waterless wash over the winter, hoping it will save me some time and encourage me to wash my vehicles more often. I currently have a 2014 Subaru Forester and a 2019...

Went to go use some AW after washing the car this weekend and found the bottle cracked and most had leaked out. Thought I still had some of a gallon left, but must have used that up also.... For now, looking for an OTC substitute until I have a big enough order for AG to get another gallon of...

So I haven't been detailing much the past 2-3 years, other things in life have taken over and my time is fairly limited for serious detailing anymore. Anyway, I have an interest in spray on coatings (Hydro2 Lite, Gyeon Wetcoat, etc.) that are a simple spray on, hose off application. I know it...

Have had the optieraser for awhile now, didn't seem to do much last time I used it a few weeks ago, still a lot of contaminants left based on the plastic baggie test. Was looking to upgrade to the nanoskin wash mitt, but not sure if fine or medium would be best. For background, just using on my...

Once you mix up a bottle of Hydro2, does it have a shelf life? Thinking of picking up some and curious in case I mix up a batch but don't use it up all at once. Thanks, Neil

Long story short, gallon of house paint must have fallen off a truck or car, came around the turn and drove right through it [emoji35] luckily I didn't hit the can that was still in the road. I got most of the paint off my wheel wells and doors, but I just can't seem to get it out of the tire...

So I had a scratch I had filled awhile ago and finally got a chance to smooth it out. So I grabbed some 2000 grit paper, soak it, and start to smooth. I check my progress and I see this : Hopefully it worked from my phone, but there is a cloudy area right where my hand is. Area is totally...

So, I just got some Sonax Polymer Netshield in the mail, looking forward to using it on my new car before the winter. Somewhere I read that it can be used on glass, trim, paint, etc. So my first question is, can I use it on the following areas: 1) Glass 2) "Chrome"/rubber trim that is...

Close to pulling the trigger on getting Sonax Polymer Netshield after reading all of the positives about it. Just looking to see what is the ideal applicator for it, preferably something OTC (I'm ordering the Sonax from Amazon to use up a gift card....). Not sure what Amazon has for...

So I was looking for a light cleaner/protectant for in between deep cleans on the interiors of my cars. I did a little research and found what I thought would fit the bill - CG InnerClean. I guess I didn't do enough research as I completely missed that it can only be used on synthetic leather...

So I got the email about the Memorial Day sale and decided to check my supplies. I haven't been doing much detailing in the past couple of years, so still have good stock of polishes, sealants, and waxes. There are some items that I was thinking of though: 1. Duragloss Rinseless Wash with...

So I am finally thinking of getting one of these, but the tank on my compressor is small. I have the cfm (6 or 6.5 cfm at 90 psi), but only a 4 gallon tank. I was thinking of adding an inline 10 gallon tank for more air, so 14 gallons total at 6 or so cfm. Think this will be adequate to run the...

Well, been looking at the Tornador Black for quite some time, but I think my compressor is a little on the small side (4 gallon, 6 CFM). I can solve that by daisy chaining in an extra 10 gallon tank though... but would only be used when I clean interiors, which is not at every wash. Or maybe...

So I recently took the plunge and replaced my old wheel brushes with the Wheel Woolies. I used them this weekend and love them! Unfortunately, the smallest one is still not small enough to get between my wheel and caliper on the front wheels. Wouldn't get in there at all. I have about 1/4...

So, I have a couple of questions regarding Griot's Garage Paint Prep. I researched some and saw that Mark (07-z-06) used it to strip some Dodo wax he had applied a couple of weeks prior. What wasn't mentioned was if the car was being polished and a new LSP applied, or if he just wanted to try...

So, I finally broke down at the end of last year and bought a smart phone (Samsung Fascinate). One of the things I did was start to subscribe to the Autogeek newsfeed. I have used Newsrob and currently am using the RSS Demon app, but was curious about Tapatalk (before I bought it) from others...

So, last night I decided to try and clean the wife's tires before it got too dark. Used Poorboy's APC (5:1 dilution), let it dwell for 3-5 minutes, then scrubbed with a stiff nylon bristle wheel brush. Checked them out this morning in the light and they are still brown. This combo usually...

Not sure which way to go here. I got some Dr. colorchip for my car and the color match was good, didn't fill the chips up (maybe just need to keep adding more light coats) but they are much less noticeable. Didn't really work well on some long scratches, but I believe this is stated on there...

Mike or anyone else, Is a sprayer supposed to be included in UTTG? I got some a couple of months ago, IIRC the bottle says it can be sprayed, but my container didn't have a sprayer in it. Did not think anything of it until today when I received my UIGP and it had the sprayer included inside...

Just curious what some othets might be doing. I usually do a rinseless wash (ONR) once a week on my cars. I also usually scrub the tires with soap and water and clean the rims as well. I am wondering if I shouldn't scrub the tires every week since it seems to remove the dressing (opti bond...
