    How to Remove Soap Scum from Touchless Wash

    Live in snowy climate so I use touchless wash in cold months. I have a black Jeep Wrangler so it traps a lot of water on days when I can't dry. Reason I can't dry is because the water freezes right away after the wash. My hinges drip water after a wash. I have water/soap lines coming down...

    Someone Gave Me a Chamberlain Waxmaster 900

    I know its old but it is dual action. I have a black Jeep daily driver. Just simply want to polish before winter. I am wondering what polishing pads would be recommended. It is a 9" so I assume I would get the pads in 9" size. Then would you use wool, microfiber etc ..?

    Many on this forum are using UWW+ as a drying aid. I have some Opti Clean hanging around from winter. So I figure Opti Clean should work similar no ? My method would be to dry with a leaf blower. Then apply Opti Clean. Then dry with micro towel. Hoping the Opti Clean would remove any water...
