Is it ok to layer with different brands of wax? For example, I have a layer of Collinite 845 on my car. Can I apply a coat of Sonax Super Liquid Wax on top of Collinite? I just want to use up remaining waxes that are taking up shelf space. Would that harm he paint? Or would that reduce...

Do soaps and other chemicals from automatic car wash strip off sealant and waxes that were applied by hand? I am planning to detail my daily with one coat of Klasse sealant and one coat of Collinite 845. I was wondering whether I should even bother to detail my daily if I'm going to put it...

I am planning to use synthetic clay bar for the first time. I was wondering whether there is a significant difference between Nanoskin and Mothers in terms of how well it picks up contaminants. I can just buy Speed Clay at local store while I have to order Nanoskin... Furthermore, are there...

I soaked a rag with degreaser and wiped the various parts of engine bay as long as my hands could reach them. I did not rinse the engine bay with water. I just let the degreaser dry. I was wondering whether this could damage plastic parts in the engine bay Thanks in advance

Hello. I detailed my car during the first weekend of July. I applied 2 coats of Klasse sealant and a coat of Collinite 845. Since then, I've driven the car less than 500 miles. And after car washes, the car was sprayed with Meg's UQD. The car was always kept indoors. The paint surface seems...

I washed my car on Wednesday. And I drove my car to work on Friday. After coming back home, I noticed that there was yellow-ish splatter at the bottom of my windshield! I roughly examined the paint, and there didn't seem to be any bird poop on painted surface. I couldn't be sure though as my...

I applied Chemical Guys leather protectant a week ago. I was wondering whether wiping the leather surfaces with damp cloth (MF or terry cotton) would not undo the layer of leather protectant I applied. I occasionally have to clean the interior as my car is a convertible. And according to a...

Should glaze be applied before or after sealant/wax? I've always known to apply glaze after sealant and wax because they won't bond to glazed surface. But upon doing some search, it is recommended to apply before sealant and wax. I already applied sealant and wax on my car (Klasse sealant +...

I used Armor All Multi Purpose Cleaner to clean some crevices on my car, and I noticed it accidentally also wiped quarter-sized section of the roof. Would APC remove recently-applied sealant?

Sealant was applied in the garage. But our house faces west, so after about an hour the car's front bumper and a section of the hood were exposed to sunlight. While buffing off the sealant, the aforementioned panels of the car were very hot... Would this decrease the effectiveness of the...

I would like to make my own spray wax (maintenance/inbetween wax) with Klasse sealant or Collinite 845. How should I go about doing this? I've watched some YouTube videos on detailer sprays. Would the same procedure apply to spray wax? Also, is ONR same as QD? I've read disruptions, and it...

I detailed my car over the weekend. I applied a cost of Klasse sealant on Saturday, and on Sunday I applied another coat. I noticed that first coat of sealant wasn't completely buffed off (there is some haze upon close inspection). Klasse is always difficult to buff off even though I apply...

I am planning to apply 2 coats of Klasse sealant and then 1 or 2 coats of Collinite 845. I am aware that an hour is the cure time for the sealant, and I have to wait around 10 hours before applying another coat of sealant But what about the wax? Can I start applying the wax right after I buff...

I haven't washed my car since May 27. The car was exposed to rain (for the first time in years) two days later, and the car was only driven several times since then.... Is there a damage that could be caused by not washing the car for a month? I've been meaning to detail the car, but couldn't...

I couldn't get a hold of IPA this weekend, so I was wondering whether I can use an APC for stripping off wax. I have Armor All Multi Purpose Auto Cleaner though... Can this be used on paint surfaces? Thanks in advance

I know that humidity affects longevity of wax and sealant applied on the car. So what level of humidity is considered appropriate environment for detailing? I will be detailing in the garage with the gate open. It will be 88% tomorrow morning and 65% in the afternoon. Would these conditions be...

I am planning to detail my car this weekend, and I need a new wash mitt. I don't want to wait a week for online shopping as I have other plans. I was wondering whether Simoniz wash mitts sold at Canadian Tires are good quality - lasts long, doesn't scratch car, picks up dirt well, etc. Thanks...

I usually put 2 coats of Klasse sealant (might go back to using Zaino sealant as I think it gives more depth and wet look to my white paint instead of Klasse's glossy appearance) and 2 coats of Collinite 845. I was told by a friend that he just applies 303 Aerospace Protectant (vinyl and rubber...

Hello. I was washing car today, and it seemed that the weather was just a bit colder than I had thought, or was on the weather app... So after completing the car wash, the water beads on the car's surfaces started to freeze... I tried to wipe the surface as quick as possible, but it was no...

Well, I rarely drive my during winter - maybe once in every 10 days or so. In December, I drove my car on 6th, 20th and 28th. In January, I drove my car on 9th, 10th, 24th, 25th and 26th. I basically drive the car only if the roads are dry (no snow, snow salt). In other seasons, I clean and...
