Is the towel that's included in the BFMS wax box available individually? I like it! :xyxthumbs:

Like the title says - are the orange or green plush towels the same weight/etc as the gold plush jr? They're the same price (3 for $12.99) and look similar.... Also, appears the weight for Gold Plush Jr. is wrong in the chart - lists them as 600, product description shows them as 380 (380...

Hi folks. Almost out of my current LSP/topper wax, Pinnacle SSII. Right now the car has BFWD sealant as a base, and I top with the wax when it either wears/bakes off or when I just want to spend some time detailing. Suggestions for another wax? I'm not unhappy with the SSII, but like to...

So this is one of those "lessons learned" posts. At least it came out ok in the end. Background: My car has OEM lightweight alloy wheels, which are silver with clearcoat over them. I just recently purchased the equipment I need to safely lift my car for minor/routine maintenance (oil...

Hi Folks, I have a new (to me) situation. I always follow the basic "use the least aggressive method that gets the results you want" approach. It's always worked well. So over the years, it seems I've accumulated quite a bit more products (both polishes/compounds, and pads) so the...

Hi folks, I'm going to be going on a road trip in a few weeks, am starting to figure out what to pack in the car (limited space, must be conservative) to take with me to keep things shiny and me sane over 12 days. Soliciting input on what you'd take or include. So far, haven't done much...

Does anyone else have problems with (what I assume are) the oils in most LSPs, especially waxes, causing holograms on really well-prepped and already-sealed paint? Might be more likely to happen on darker colors. I have WDGPS on one dark blue car, and BFWD on another black one. They look...

I used Fixer today for the first time, on my wife's heavily swirled (was that way when we got it) black Lexus RX350. Fixer on a white pad with the DA made quick work of the heavy swirls, got almost all of the RIDS, and left me with a ready-for-LSP finish. Only had time to do one side, will...

Hey Folks, I have about 3/4 of a bottle of Pinnacle Swirl Remover (not Advanced Swirl Remover, but the version from before the Advanced came out) sitting on my shelf. I shook it up well, put a little on a foam pad, and it seems to be ok from a product-intact perspective - i.e. it didn't...

How is everyone cleaning applicators used for WDGPS? I'm using foam applicators, and it seems like when they get wet to be cleaned the sealant gets gummy in the middle of the pad (like, on the inside) and doesn't come out. I normally just hand-wash applicator pads the way I do pads for the...

Out of these, what would you pick to top WDGPS? Or would you just leave it as is? Color is Monaco Blue (dark blue metalic), as seen in my avatar. 1) Pinnacle SSII 2) Pinnacle Liquid Souveran 3) P100S Or should I just leave it as is? Any other thoughts?

Does anyone bother to apply more than one coat/layer of the sealants like DGPS, Blackfire, etc? I know folks still top with various waxes, but before I do that I'm wondering if I should do another layer of DGPS.... Thoughts? This is on a Monaco Blue BMW, using DGPS and topping with...

Hi folks, Just got an '07 BMW with Monaco blue paint. Previously had a Lexus LS with really, really hard paint, and not sure how this BMW paint compares. The paint is in pretty good shape, except for the hood that has pretty evenly distributed "type 2" water spots. I've gotten the swirls...

How well does the quart or 1/2 gallon foamaster gun work? Seriously considering one of these under the current daily deal. I have a really cheap generic one that doesn't work well at all - I just use it because it has nice spray patterns, but the foaming part is pretty much worthless. Like...

One of the only cosmetic flaws on my car, other than some mild swirls and RIDS, when I bought it as a CPO in June were some scuffs/worn color spots on the driver's side seat bolster. I finally got around to fixing it. I used a bottle of Color Flex from Magic Mender. They have a great selection...

New to me (for this use, anyway), and I've never seen it mentioned here or on the various car and detailing forums in which I participate. I've tried multiple things to easily remove brake dust. I hate brake dust on my wheels, but love the initial bite of BMW OEM pads. So I've treated wheels...

Recently, I've posted (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/tricks-tips-techniques/41495-old-product-new-trick.html#post545402) about using up about 1/3 of a bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that's been sitting on my shelf doing nothing, by diluting it to a 10% solution and spraying it on my wheels...

hi folks, Just wanted to take a second and say hello here - I'm not new to detailing, but am new to this particular forum. I got into detailing (just personal passion, not professionally) when I got a new-to-me Lexus LS400 about 10 years ago. Just recently sold it (with 215K miles on it)...

Hey all, Thought I'd share this since I've been doing it for a few weeks now and it it seems to be working really well. I have about 1/2 bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that sat on the shelf for ages, since even though it's a a classic, it's ease of use leaves a bit to be desired. Anyway...
