Ok, I see that it's pretty much frowned upon to use this ancient piece of technology, but my question is, how much worse can this be over a microfiber towel brushing off the dust instead?

Had the vehicle's headlights polished and there was a touch of that oxidation left over that I could see, that he said would be "taken care of by the sealer" kind of like when you wax an oxidized black car it looks "newer" until the wax wears off of course, and I wasn't fully satisfied with...

I received a few towels made specifically for glass as presents a few years back and I must say they work pretty good. They're those towels you see that have no nap, and are kind of shiny in a way. But from what I read on here, I'm seeing that most use a white waffle micro fiber for their...

Does anyone know of any wiper fluid that is easier on wax or windshield coatings/treatments by chance? I hear waxing the windshield is kind of pointless because the wipers and it's wiper fluid just wash it away in a few days anyways. If this is true, are there any known fluids that are wax or...

Would it be possible to do away with acronyms on this board? lol. I've taught myself in my job that is acronym intensive to not use them whatsoever when typing because of the massive amount of confusion they ALWAYS create; especially if another group has the same acronym but different meaning...

Ok, I'm wondering how you get are getting away with waxing every 5 or so months... How are you preventing the sun from baking in the dust and pollen? After I wax (meguiars gold class carnauba) I get about 2 weeks before the dirt that's baked onto the won't come off with a california duster...

I'm torn between these two waxes because I have a dark colored car, but don't want to be waxing every 2 months either. Question: How much durability in terms of months would I be giving up by choosing 915 over 476? I'm ok with waxing every 6 months if I can get away with it.

Ok, looking for a good wax and detailer combination to use. I'm coming from tech wax (too streaky for me) and Meguiars Gold Class carnauba wax with Mothers Showtime quick detailer and I'm starting to see that I may not be using the best of the best lol. From what I've been reading from the...

Ok, I just watched this thread on here (like soo many) where the guy talks about how he took a car that was in need of a slight polish and wax, then waxes it and is like WOAAAAHHHH. THIS WAX IS THE BOMB! Ok, if you take bird crap, put it on a da, and rub down a car with swirl marks all over...

I'm gathering this company isn't considered higher quality. If it isn't, is there something better for dark colored cars? I'm looking for something REALLY fine for black.

I have a dark blue 2011 Lexus IS with a minor amount of weird anomalies on the hood, and I can't polish them out by hand for some reason. They're almost like below the clearcoat if you will. You can't feel them with your fingertips so I'm kind of confused as to what to do. I've heard that not...

Ok, I bought a filter exactly like this one (but in blue) http://dreamstreamr.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/p1050886.jpg from the local Lowes, to use on my hose when washing my car, and it doesn't even really make a difference. My first question is what am I doing wrong? And secondly, what do...

Ok, all my cars are black (i know) and when I clay them, after I wipe everything off, I can see micro scratches in the direction that I clayed. Is this standard, or am I doing something wrong.

Ok, quick question for all you wax experimenters. The current rule of thumb is, is that carnubas offer a touch deeper shine than the synthetics, but dont last as long. To get the best of both worlds, you should do a synthetic first, then a carnuba over it. Now, is this process a slight...

I know this is a bone question but, can you glaze over wax? would that help whatsoever?

New here, but not to cars or detailing. I drive a buick grand national on the weekends, and am meticulous about keeping her clean and shiny. Lookin for some tips :) Tony L.
