    Super slick QD/drying aid?

    I'm using up the last of my WFG Uber in QD dilution for my QD/drying aid. And while it does add a bit of slickness to the paint and great gloss, I'm curious if there is anything else that might offer a little bit more of both? I've used Megs UQW before, which I know is D156, and while this too...

    Does foaming the car REALLY help or not?

    I have the Gilmour foam gun. Have had it for a few years and never really used it. I figured this season I'd give it another go. For pH neutral soaps, does foaming the car and letting it dwell 5-7 minutes do anything such as emulsifying dirt and/or break down some grime, etc? And for the...

    Car wash shampoo that is ok in the SUN and removes grime in presoak?

    Our vehicles are outside 24-7 and are exposed to sunlight most of the day. Its not convenient for me to wait until late afternoon (or early morning) for shade. I'd like to be able to wash the entire vehicle before rinsing because I'm looking to speed up my wash process. Plus since I have don't...

    Gyeon Wetcoat: maintaining and topping?

    Which products work well at extending and maintaining Gyeon Wetcoat? I'm afraid that conventional QDs and QWs will affect the water behavior. Can Wetcoat be diluted so that it can be used as a hand applied WOWO?

    Problems machine polishing on curved body panels

    I've only used my PC about a half a dozen times (so I'm no professional) but I encountered something that I've never dealt with before. Well actually I have but not as frequent as this. When trying to polish my daughters 2015 Hyundai Accent I noticed in many of the concave areas of the hood...

    HD Speed - wrong pad choice or bad technique?

    I'm a newbie to machine polishing. Well sorta. It's been many years since I've used my Meguiars G100 machine and I only used it one other time. After watching many polishing videos I decided to lightly polish the wife's 15 Dodge GC using HD Speed. I used a LC CCS 5.5" orange pad. Added 5 dime...

    3D HD Touch as RINSELESS wash?

    I could not find any mention on 3D's site if HD Touch can be diluted as a rinseless wash. Has anyone done this? What are the dilution ratios? How does it perform in comparison with DG or Ultimas rinseless wash products?

    Forced to live with BROWN tires?

    It appears that my Yoko sidewalls have a permanent brown hue. I've read about the blooming and am still uncertain about how long it occurs and whether or not you want to get rid of it considering it's meant to preserve tire life. The tires are about 8 months old. No heavy dressings ever...

    Cleaning honeycomb plastic grilles?

    Both my Cruze and Grand Caravan have plastic honeycomb grilles. It's very tedious to clean in each hole. Both vehicles sit outside 24-7 so rain water will collect inside each hole and eventually leave water spots. Since I only do rinseless washing it requires much effort to get my wash media...

    How to polish painted wheels?

    So my wifes 2015 Grand Caravan has 17" wheels that are painted gloss black with a machined face (clear coat over the entire finish). It appears that the dealer, during its life on the lot, washed the wheels improperly and there are some really noticable scratches in some of the inner painted...

    Questions about Carpro products...

    I can't quite decide on which LSP to go with. There are endless sealant options by many brands offering the same shine and protection. What I REALLY like about the Hydro2 is the ease of application. Especially since I don't really look forward to applying any LSP by hand on a big 2015 Grand...

    Is Poli-Seal the right choice for me?

    So I am debating on which products to purchase for my Spring detail. My wife and I just purchased a 2015 Granite Crystal Mettalic Grand Caravan. As one should expect of a new vehicle the paint condition is 99% defect free. In direct sunlight I can see some very faint/minor marrring here and...

    Headlight coating?

    Two years and 50k miles later my headlights have some pitting. Without resorting to abrasive sanding and polishing to level them out, is there any plastic coating or product that I can apply that would fill them in to make it less noticable? Other than that the headlights are in great condition...

    Rinseless wash newbie - Questions

    So today was my first time ever using a RW. The guinea pig was the wifes van, lol. After reading a few threads on the locally available Turtle Wax RW I decided to try it out. I found it at my local Menards for $4.50 which is a fantastic bargain. After deciding which microfiber towels to use I...
