    Cleaning/Protecting Microsuede

    Just picked up a 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec which has some microsuede through the middle of the seats as well as one trim piece on the dash above the glove box. I've searched and read through here on cleaning/protecting microsuede but no mention of the specific products I have on hand. I also...

    cleaning tires - rims plasti-dipped

    So I've checked out a bunch of threads on how to clean plasti-dipped rims. Have my first detail in with PD. I think I am just going to go the IronX route to clean them and use my carrand body brush with the soft flagged bristles on the outer rim. Doesn't look like the barrels are PD'd, so I...

    best way to store nanoskin

    Did some searching and didn't find quite the answer I was looking for. I was thinking I would place a piece of aluminum foil over the sticky part of the mitt, then store it in the plastic container it came in. Will the foil stick to the material or peel right off next time I go to use it...

    New Nanoskin Mitt

    I'm make the plunge into the 21st century. So I don't get a ton of suggestions, I'll lay out my plan and if you all can critique, that would be awesome: I'm going to use a nanoskin mitt (blue fine) for the first time on a detail this weekend. My plan is to foam the car with CGCW Red, power...

    Good deal on GP MF towels

    Menards has 30 pk of general purpose MF towels for $9. The item is discontinued but some stores around here still have a few in stock. They would be good for interior, engine, jambs, etc. I'd say 200 gsm (similar to MFT 200 gsm). I bought a couple bags today (had to drive to a store 20 miles...

    Using a paint cleaner/GEP

    I am planning to coat my car in the fall, so I don't want to polish it this spring, but rather just use BFGEP and seal with BFWD and BFCS. I'll go through my typical regimen of decon, but I usually get some marring with clay on my soft black Honda paint. My question is whether GEP will...

    getting water, wax, polish dust, etc. out of crevices

    something I happened to try on my last detail that worked really well: take an old drivers license (or credit card if it doesn't have raised letters/numbers) and wrap a really thin MF around it. I have some really thin ones that must be 200 gsm or so. Then just run down the crevice with the...

    2011 Nissan Armada Clear Coat

    Does anyone own, or have done a past detail on a black 2011 Nissan Armada that would be able to tell me if this model has a paint sticker anywhere referring the clear, whether is it "hard" or "self-healing"? I have one coming this weekend and went to my buddies house today to try and find the...

    Griot's 6" repair

    For those of you that have had to send in your GG polisher to Griot's for repair or replacement under warranty, just wondering how long it usually takes? I sent it in 2 Monday's ago and it got to them that Wednesday. So this Wednesday (tomorrow) will be 2 weeks. Supposed to have a detail this...

    Protecting roll bar covers

    Major detail on a 2002 jeep wrangler. It has rollover covers that seem to be a kind of coated canvas fabric with foam backing. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. Anyway, they zip off and I removed them to clean them with Amazing Roll Off. Now drying. I know ARO leaves some...

    Carrand Vacuum

    Anyone have this and willing to give some feedback on how good it is? I'm currently using my home vacuum which is a Hoover Platinum which sucks like no other (sucks in a good way). But I don't like having the house vacuum outside in the garage plus its bulky and doesn't fit inside the car so...

    Chemical Guys "Vintage"

    So...with the spring-like weather here today, I was looking over my wishlist to start putting together what I need to order when spring actually gets here. I notice that CG Leather Conditioner is no longer available. So I check the CG website and it appears they have the same products (Leather...

    colder temps = MF linting??

    Now that it has gotten "chilly" here, I have noticed my 530 gsm towels linting during rinseless washes during the final dry step. I use the Garry Dean method (soaked towel from bucket; damp towel for damp dry; dry towel for final dry). I keep my towels in the garage still, even though all my...

    Amazing Roll Off Dilution?

    I have a gallon of ARO. I read on the jug that it can be diluted 1 cup ARO to 5 gallons of water. I will just be using it in a 32 oz. spray bottle to clean tires, wheel wells, engine bays, plastic trim, etc. Is this the dilution ratio I need to use? What do you guys recommend? Thanks.

    Final wipedown after wash for Coll 845

    What drying aids or post-wash topper do you prefer with Collinite 845 as your sealant (this is my first winter using 845)? I've used BF WDPS the last couple washes and it doesn't play as nice with the 845 as it does with the BFWD. If feels grabby whereas on top of the BFWD/CS it restored that...

    cleaning sealed wheels

    Any suggestions on how to clean wheels once they are sealed? I haven't sealed my wheels yet and use BF APC 1:4 to clean the wheels. I don't want to do that once they are sealed to avoid shortening the life of the sealant or removing it altogether. One thing I was thinking was mixing up some...
