    Dear Abby: Wax Polish Remover - Need Help

    Normally I have used a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol after polishing and before applying a wax or sealant, so when I ordered the supplies I was out of for my full detail project before the corona virus, I did not order a wax polisher remover. Now with the Corona virus in full swing...

    Question Regarding Rinsing Iron Remover for My Unique Situation

    As full-time RV travelers I am often unable to use a garden hose for washing vehicles so when I wash I use either waterless or rinseless washes. But for rinsing after applying an iron remover I am trying to wrap my head around two solutions I have thought of. 1) Buy one of these or similar...

    Just Received My GG G9

    I was surprised but very happy when Fed Ex showed up yesterday with my G9 I purchased through GG's buy back program. Surprised, because when speaking with the rep on the phone I understood they would ship it after receiving my GG6 which is fair enough. I sent it back on Friday so it has not...

    Two months after purchasing my truck new in April 2015 and while I still lived in Phoenix, AZ with the benefit of a house and garage, I did a light polish using a Flex 3401 and then I applied Cquartz UK. Although the expected longevity was reported to be 2-years, it has well past that now 3.5...

    AIO & Interior Cleaner Question

    I have been reading threads here on AIO's and how they can be used for everything from engine bay cleaning to interior depending on appropriate dilutions. This appeals to me as I would if possible, like a "do-it-all" product. Since I have been happy with other Optimum products, I thought I...

    Flex 3401: A Machine of Beauty

    Yesterday I finally used my new Flex 3401 and all I can say is wow, why did I wait so long? Although I am not a pro detailer, I have a full size 1-ton dually truck, a 28' TT (soon to be traded in for a large 5th wheel) and my wife's Prius to maintain. Also, I have a defective front cap on my TT...

    Difference Between Black & Red Pads for Applying Wax

    Descriptions of the black & red pads both indicate suitable to apply waxes and sealants, although descriptions of the black also indicate polishes as well, so my question is, under what circumstances would one choose one over the other? Specifically using a Flex 3401 with hybrid pads. thank you.

    Purchasing a Flex XC3401: Could Use Some Help with Pads

    In anticipation of ordering a Flex (upgrading from GG 6") I have been reading a number of threads on this forum regarding pads, specifically size. Initially I was getting the idea, the 5" would be a better choice for first timers on this machine and was thinking this would be the way to go...

    School Me on Using Spray on Wax as a Drying Aid

    What I am interested in is when to apply the spray on wax, immediately after the final rinse, after part dry or does it matter? I use a Metro Master Blaster to dry my vehicles which pretty much leaves very little to no water to dry with a towel, so wondering if a spray on wax will have any...

    I am getting ready to detail my truck and I am out of clay so I thought I would try a Nanoskin product. I notice they offer a pad system for machines as well as towels, to accomplish the same task. I am seeking advice, comments and suggestions on which way to go. I assume the pad system for...

    Wax Removal From Vinyl

    The last time I waxed my truck, I made the bonehead mistake of forgetting to mask off the vinyl on the top of the bed and as a result it shows. I tried a product from Griot's Garage and it removed some, but extremely time consuming. I then tried a product from Dura Gloss, it worked much...
