    My towels no longer dry

    What a paint! My towels have lost absorbency almost completely. I wash my towels on hot, and never use detergent and also hang dry. Only thing I can think is my use of quick wax as a drying aid. How can I correct this? Vinegar in the wash?

    Meguiars Dub Wheel Cleaner

    Found it on sale for $5.00 a bottle. Not a very harsh scent. Of course has the cool color changing effect when it interacts with iron particles. Works really, really well. On maintained wheels it is a spray on, pressure wash off type of deal. Tried it on my neighbors 2000 Mercedes with 172K...

    GF's dads car. 2014 S550. 040 Black. 20,000 miles of highway driving, and nothing but tunnel washes. Paint was "hard as woodpecker lips". Ceramiclear was a factor, so initial compound was heavy. Got about a 90-95% correction which is good enough for a daily driver. Didn't get any interior...

    While doing our 95 LandCruiser - Toyota White single stage paint and using the medium sponge, I noticed the sponge received some white paint transfer that will not remove itself. Anyone else have this issue? Was I using it incorrectly? I used plenty of ONR lube.
