Anyone use Gtechniq Smart Fabric I1 V3 on convertible tops? The product says "ideal for use on your cars (car's?) convertible roof or interior". Isn't UV protection important for convertible tops, though, and this product doesn't have UV protection. And I'm not sure a different UV protection...

Anyone here use a heat gun when removing rubber marks from paint? (rubber marks like from tires when tracking a car, burnouts, etc). Does it work? If so, what's your technique and about how hot do you get the paint (80 degrees F, 90, 120...?). Bonus questions: Any other techniques for...

A lot of QD/WW products have directions that say Step 1: spray the product (either on car or on towel directly) Step 2: wipe with one side of the towel Step 3: wipe with another side of the towel (or another towel) However, in recent years I've seen microfiber towels that seem to pick up all...

I have included below an Autogeek video with Mike Phillips & Forrest Toise. From 5:02-5:10 Forrest Toise is wiping off the lubricant (Mothers Instant Detailer), and after the second & third wipe you can briefly see where he wiped (after wiping). This disappears after a second or two, so its...

Lets say you detail a car to your satisfaction and you have put some wax on it. Then you park the car indoors until the wax goes away (I'm assuming it eventually would, but correct me if I'm wrong). Now you want to reapply the wax. Do you need to prep the surface? I imagine claying might be a...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has information or experiences to share regarding diluting car wash shampoo to a rinse less wash? Is this possible, or are there issues? I realize car wash shampoos almost surely have less lubricity then a rinseless wash. But perhaps this can be remedied by...

After using the Wookie's Fist I go through it and check for anything trapped in the fibers. Usually all I find is some small flecks of dirt deep in the mitt (which means the Grit Guard and the mitt are both doing their job). Since the Wookie's fist is so thick though, finding and picking out...

Is there a reason to have both of these towels (aside from having different colored towels for different purposes)? Or is the choice between them just personal preference? On the microfiber chart they have the same uses listed.

Hi, I picked up a (black) car a few years back and it had a coating on it. It has since developed some light swirls that I wish to remove. However, I do not intend to re-coat after polishing (One reason for not re-coating is that I don't know which coating was applied). Instead, I will apply a...

Hi, What are the opinions on using a Wolfgang leather cleaner with Pinnacle protectant? (specifically "Wolfgang Leather Care Cleaner" with "Pinnacle Black Label Leather and Vinyl Coating") I figure theres not issue with this, but would I be foregoing some benefits of using just one of the...

So I ordered a 6.5 sq. ft natural chamois a while back -- admittedly not from auto geek, which is perhaps why I'm unsure of the towel's condition -- and have two questions regarding it. Both these questions deal with how the towel was when I first got it (and how the towel still is); I am not...

I am planning to apply wax over wolfgang Deep gloss paint sealant. I am just wondering if I should apply it after the DGPS cures for 12 hours, or before? I'm assuming after.
