Curious about everyone elses rinseless wash method. I dont remember where i found this 1, but its a variation of the Gary Dean method, but you keep using the same rinseless wash water and bucket. Basically i mix the rinseless wash, add my grit guard and put 20ish, folded, microfibers into the...

I ordered CSL a couple weeks ago and just realized that it didnt come with any type of applicator pad. What applicators do you guys like using for coatings? Shawn

Im wanting to do a coating for the first time and i would love some suggestions. I would like something that feels slick, ive heard some of the coatings feel like untreated paint, and dont have a slickness to them, I would like something that is as close to freshly waxed paint as possible...

Ive been wearing my autogeek hat for about 3 years now, and needless to say, its pretty nasty. I really like my AG hat but havent been able to get ahold of one since theyve been out of stock for quite some time now. If anyone has one they would be willing to part with, i would be very grateful...

How long does CS take to cure? Can i top it with BFMS right away, is there a minimum cure time? Shawn

Im doing a paint correction, and for the first time im using m105 and the HT pads. I had like 30 seconds of work time at first, so i figured it was the 105 and switched to WG TSR. Ive used TSR many times, never any issues with removal, or low work time. I could get 10 passes in if i wanted...

I seem to only be able to find 2 wax sticks on the planet, the Griots one, and the Dodo. Is there a reason that no one else makes them? I would love to do some machine application of waxes, but i just feel that removing a nice wax from its jar is too risky, if i drop it, i just lost an entire...

I just got some OC and im going to definitely do my wheels, but im considering doing my car as well after i do my paint correction in a couple weeks. Im hesitant to do OC because i really like my paint to have the slickness of a sealant or wax and ive heard conflicting stories as to whether...

Im having a hard time figuring out which pads i want to try out. Im going to get a 3pack, but im not sure i want/need 1 of each pad. I typically use the CCS pads and for correction usually start with orange, then go to gray for polishing. I also dont typically do waxes/sealants by machine, i...

I have a new set of rims that will be here in the next couple days and would really like to OC them to make cleaning easier. I was hoping someone local could trade me the remnants of a syringe of OC. Mods please delete if this is not ok. I wouldnt mind ordering some, but i dont want to OC...

I must be dense, cause i cannot figure it out for the life of me, and im sure im just missing something simple. Shawn

Im really getting the itch to detail my car, but its just so unbarably hot in houston, i dont know how i could possibly do it. 10 minutes in my garage is more than enough to be completely covered in sweat, and i just don tthink i would get much done with the amount of breaks i would have to...

First, i recently bought a used car, and when it cools down enough im going to be doing a paint correction. Im having a hard time figuring out how to remove the bad spots of touch up paint they used. Its in no way smooth, and i feel like i need to find a way to smooth it down and make it look...

I recently bought a new car(new to me) and will be doing a paint correction as soon as weather permits....its a bit hot in houston to do a paint correction right now. Im trying to figure out what wax to get at this point, i have fuzion, but im not a fan, and i tend to like paste wax's more...

Im considering buying a car that the previous owner put a dashmat on. The also used velcro to hold the mat in place. There are roughly 10 2" strips of velcro in different places on the dash and im trying to figure out how i would remove them if i were to buy the car. Shawn

Im looking for a quality paste wax with decent durability for $40 or less. I currently have some 845, and while its durable, its not all that warm and wet looking. I also have some Fuzion that im just not overly impressed with. Its a bit greasy, it doesnt last all that long, and its more...

I havent tried all that many products, but from what ive tried, i just havent found that perfect combo. Ive tried: Fuzion 845 WGDGPS Have, but havent tried v7 I like the feel of Fuzion, its nice and slick, and good lord it smells good, but it doesnt last very long for me, maybe 2 weeks...

Ive tried BTBM, CG Glossworks shampoo, and WG AutoBathe and none of them put actual suds on the car. The bucket is full of suds, but after 5 seconds on the car, it looks like im just pushing water around. Im using everything at the correct dillution rate,and the bucket is all foamy, just no...

Im trying to figure out if there are any shop vacs that have anywhere near the suction power of a comercial unit like the ones at a typical car wash? Shawn
