    ONRWW wash media?

    I purchased ONRWW on the 12/12 sale and would like to give it a spin this weekend. So the question is grout sponge or mf towels as the wash media? Is one safer than the other? I've read that the sponge rinses cleaner but with the Garry Dean method using mf towels that wouldn't really matter...

    Coin op before ONR

    I've seen several people mention that during the winter they will hit the coin op to get the big stuff off of the car and then head home and do ONR In their garage. My question, dumb as it may be, is do you drive the car home wet or are you drying it in some fashion?

    Ironx bleeding hours later

    It's now been 4 hrs since I applied Ironx to my wifes car and followed it with an insane amount of water to flush it out of the trim but it is still bleeding from two spots on the trim. I can't possibly force more water into the area than I already have. Any tips to stop the bleeding?

    is it possible to do dg501 on a small cross-over type SUV like a Chevy Equinox with just 1 white pad? I only have 2 white pads to my name and I still need to use one for polishing on my old Maxima so I can't assign both pads permanently to DG 501. I finally have a day off tomorrow and would...

    Ultimate Compound question

    I was using UC earlier today with my new gg6 and a LC orange flat pad and ran into some issues. I was never able to get 6-8 section passes out of it without it drying up on me. The most I could do was 4 before I had to stop and wipe the surface down. I was in a garage and the surface was cool...

    I've been looking for a video that talks about this or a how-to article but haven't found it yet.

    Considering dg501 for dd

    I'm considering putting dg 501 on my wife's DD a white Chevy equinox. I've read that 501 really cleans and shines up white well. How many times per year would you re-apply? I've read that it cleans really good so I wasn't sure if I should try to limit the number of applications.
