Has anyone used this combo for claying? I recently did, mixing 1:128 of d114 I used it to clay a vehicle. The D114 seemed to affect the clay mitt by turning the rubberized areas SUPER STICKY to the point that it virtually stuck to itself and was almost impossible to separate. Even touching the...

I'm curious to know if any of you coating guruz notice that the super hydrophobic nature of coatings dont seem to last long? I keep seeing all these vids on IG, AG, FB, etc showing the typical water hose without a nozzle, flowing water onto a freshly coated and cured surface, and the water...

Just wanted to share this with everyone. I, like many of you out there, am always getting frustrated with longevity of microfibers and keeping them clean. What you will need: 1) A rainy day 2) Enough beer to last 3) Pressure washer with Spinning turbo nozzle attachment 4) Old non absorbent...

I'm always looking to strengthen my weakest link. I think right now that is our trim protection for our detail packages. My #1 & 2 go-to's are currently UTTG & Solutions finish 1) UTTG- Lasts super long and is resistant, but very hard to apply in tight areas and becomes sticky allowing dirt...

Hello everyone! I purchased Carpro Spotless a while ago for the purpose of some testing. I'm in the process of updating our package menu and when I heard of this product, I thought it would make a great addition to our quick detail package. I really wanted something that could remove Hard water...

Has anyone done this? I've read a few people mention it on here and elsewhere. I was wondering if anyone has mixed it into a waterless wash & wax or if any of the real scientific guys have anything to say about this? So far, I mixed it 1:4 with water and applied it by spraying onto a...

Don't want to post a link, but saw an ad on TV about this "dual polisher" that has this dual counter spinning backing pate. Anyone else see this? I dont get the purpose of the counter spinning besides just being a gimmick for TV. But who knows? What do you guys think?

As the title says, need some help again! Whats your favorite interior fabric guard? I prefer products I can buy in 1gal size or larger Whats your method of application/drying after an interior shampoo?

Sup guys, as the title says.. I need help. My situation: I have a fixed location at a local mall, it's outside so everything either stays in my car, or gets locked up in a Rigid Job box and chained to a pillar. So whatever extractor i get, it has to be able to fit into a typical rigid job box...

I need an exterior trim/rubber protectant that can withstand rain and last at least a week or so. It needs to be available for purchase in Bulk (1gal or bigger). If its a concentrate even better. Non-sticky & dry to the touch is best. I've already tried PERL, and I like it very much but it...

I've read that it you're not supposed to, but has anyone tried? If so what kind of durability?

Sorry no pix. We have a customer who regularly brings us his G35 w/ a CF hood made and bought new from Stillen, I believe he said 2 years ago. He comes in pretty often and was asking us to apply Megs synthetic wax 2.0 to his hood after we wash it. It held up pretty good. The hood was showing...

On May 18th, I decided to OC my hood for a test panel. Most of the rest of my car has had Wolfs HB since January including my hood before the clay/polish/OC. This wasn't my first OC application, i've done quite a few and followed the installation directions and even IPA wiped x 2. On June 20th...

I removed my old emblems to paint them and now want to re-install. Of course I removed all the old glue. So, Whats the best adhesive that wont eat my paint? I bought the 3m stuff, luckily i tested it on my fenderwell lip and within 20 minutes it ate the paint right off an Acura OEM Factory...

First review for me. I know now there is Opti-Lens, which has stronger UV blockers than Opti-coat pro. When I get my hands on some I will add it to this durability test. I live in Hawaii.. Headlights and plastics stand no chance to the level 10 UV index's and salt air that we endure on a daily...

I'm always on the hunt for good apps I can use for my business. My favorite one so far is "Registroid Point of sale". I have the pro version which is like $50, i can program all my packages into menu buttons and then calculate an order and send a receipt. I use my Xoom tablet for this, or my...

Need to vent a little and ask advice on how to deal with the idiots. We run a simple waterless car wash & detailing shop at a local shopping center. Yesterday we get in a Tahoe with Chrome wheels. I literally spend about 5 minutes with every new customer explaining how the system works. In my...

My Clay bars are finally just about done so i'm heavily considering these. I need at least 2 mediums grades and 2 Fine grades because we always have 2 people claying cars. To buy 4 towels @ $60 each is like buying 8-10 200G clay bars (cost wise), so I'm having a hard time justifying the cost I...

Just wondering, I've noticed this on quite a few customer cars, and now the airbag cover on my CL is getting a bit sticky. APC's of any dilution dont make a difference and neither does IPA. It feels as if the plastic has melted and remained gooey. Its uniform across the panel as not to indicate...

I've tried the Meguiars MF cutting pad, and the Surbuff Micro-fingers pad. Both are ok. I think the Meguiars pad failed prematurely. The Surbuff pads shrunk and curled after a few cleanings. Anyone have suggestions for a durable, decent cutting MF pad?
