How and what do you use for pad cleaning? And is it worth it or dump the pads when you are done?

As someone new trying my hand at paint correction...it didn’t go as good as I expected. First I started very conservative white pad bundled with my griots da kit and a one step. Didn’t do much in the wake of correction of scratches and swirls. Car is white is it is a pain to really see...

Ok, so I have washed and clayed, now I am ready to correct. Paint is not very bad but needs to get some of the very fine spider web swirls, they are hard to see but they are there. Once again, very faint. I have some BF One-Step and a Griots DA polisher to work with. My question is what pads...

So I need to clean a great number of microfiber towels. I have Costco free/clear laundry detergent which clean ok but not heavily soiled towels. I have a number of microfibers that are badly soiled...sooo can I add Oxy Clean or Borax to this as a booster or is that bad to do? What do you...

People constantly ask me what is the safest snow brush that won’t scratch your paint? This one is a tough one for me to answer.

What’s your prep for winter and what do you like for protection. Last year I did 845 which really wasn’t the right choice for Chicago. Lots of salt, lots of extreme cold and of course lots of road crap and crud. Let me know what you guys have found to be successful for winter protection.

Been using both to test, one on the drive side one on the passenger side. TW is really hard to buff out. I can see all the smudges and need to buff and buff more to get it worked in. BSD (Brilliant Shine Detailer) is easier to take off but still not easy. I like both of these as they seem...

So in the beautiful low tax, no corruption, best roads state of IL...road construction is an endless headache. The have been working on roads by us for months now and today I gave my baby a wash only to find endless amounts of oil and tar stuck all over the lower half. Since the car is...

I’m courious to what you guys use for your soft finish kit. Such as soap, wash mitt, drying towels, cutting pads, one step polish, wax, buffing towels, and so on. My kit is not there yet as I dont have the experience some of you have. My soap is gold class or megs wash and wax (carnuba)...

I have seen some excellent results from these all-in-one products. Griots One-Step is great for light correction and leaves a nice durable protection. HD Speed is another one. What other all in ones do you guys like?

So I have used both quite a bit. Collinite is one of my favorites...super easy to apply and take off. Very good shine and fairly durability! I love working with this stuff...its so easy! As for TW SnS its easy to put on if you do it thin but not so great to buff off...I dislike this part a...

Whats better? Have no clue in this department? Want to polish to remove slight swirls. I was also told to do 5.5" vs 6.5" as I am only using my DA for my Tesla. Let me know.

Paint is actually in pretty good condition to start with. Just want to take it that extra mile. Car has been clayed, has seen collontie as well as Wolfgang’s deep polish gloss. Like both, find Wolfgang’s is a breeze to work with not that 845 isn’t...just Wolfgang’s is amazingly easy with...

At Home Depot looking at pressure washers as I have an older AR112 which is good but cant be rolled (no wheels), tips easy, is a pain to wind the cords around it (this really sucks) and seals are going every year on it...cheap to fix but still. Its not a bad unit but moving around with it and...

Yesterday I was able to use my new nanoskin autoscrub on my show ever orange spec rail dust metallic white Tesla! I had aan old bottle of megs nxt quick detail and I went to town. I have clayed this car before and didn’t even come close to these results nor the speed. I don’t find claying...

In the past I have always just used a kirkland MF towel. 80/20...300gsm. But it does an average job. What have you guys found to work well. Oh and what kind of cleaner do you use as well? I have a very very old bottle of Invisiglass. I now have tints as well so a cleaner that is tint...

How many of you add a cap full of ONR to your wash shampoo bucket? Seems like a great idea?

So after trying a number of cheap towels I am yet to find one I trust. Let me start, Kirklands are not good MF towels. They are a chinese made 80/20 around 300 gsm towel that after 2-3 washes get harder. They dont tend to release debris during a wash cycle either. They scratch I-Beams, high...

First are these even comparable? ONR has a great rep. I am in search of a decent rinseless and/or waterless product. Aero is sold on amazon and I try not to support them when other options are available like AG. The reviews are ridiculous over 2000 overwhelmingly positive! It’s fairly...

Ive heard several recommended and I have tried a few. So far I notice my Megs Micro has been very gentle and cleans better. It is not a deep pile wormy chenille mitt but it seems to do good. I have the Gold Plush and I am not impressed at all and recommended by an AG person. Dont think they...
