    Is there any issue applying the second coat of sealant about 1 week after the first coat?

    removing swirls of bmw paint

    What color paint do you have? Some of their paints are really hard and some are painfully soft. For example, IIRC the jet black is soft while the metallic black is hard.

    ONR Wash n Shine vs Wash n Wax

    I've used both and I think that they both seem to have equivalent cleaning power. I love ONRWW for maintenance washes because the final finish is noticeably more slick. They essentially work pretty similar. It mostly depends on whether you're okay with leaving a layer of wax behind or you need...

    How often to clean leather seats

    I think you guys should really look into leather protectants if your goal is cleaning convenience. For example, UIGP or Wolfgang CTS are products which can make leather care significantly easier. I personally use CTS and love it. It makes the leather completely water resistant so I can just wipe...

    To wash or not to wash?

    Do you have any kinds of waterless washes? They would be very safe and shouldn't create any scratches.

    Review: Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad

    Thanks for the tip ksigna. I posted that last september but I did get a chance to try warm water and it made a big difference. Now I have to say it's a great bug sponge!

    Distilled water for OPC?

    I totally agree I think distilled water is a bit more than what's really necessary tbh. Tap water on average has about 100-200 ppm of dissolved solids within it. Which really isn't close to enough to affect detail sprays and such. If you're hellbent on using distilled water i'd suggest giving...

    How to clean A/C'ed Leather Seats with Perforations

    I don't have A/C'ed seats but I do have perforated seats and think they should perform the same. Usually when I clean the seats I spray a microfiber applicator fairly liberally with leather cleaner and just clean the leather like normal. After wiping it down i'll take the towel and fold it...

    Post your favorite Glass Cleaner??

    Last time I checked AG discontinued their waffle weave glass towels? Any substitutes? I bought some tiny waffle weave towels from ebay but they're so-so. I've noticed though honestly I can get a clean completely clear with *most* cleaners with the right prep and 1 wet and 1 dry towel. And i'm...

    Diablo gel strip wheel sealant ?

    Yeah it will. If your wheels are sealed you'll just need simple soap and water to clean them.

    vinyl protectant

    I really like wolfgang's interior sealant. Like poweraid said, it doesn't give a shiny appearance but I noticed it gives an ever so slight sheen to the surface. Basically looks like new at all times and really does a good job of keeping surfaces hydrophobic/easy to clean.

    Product Review: Meguiar's Bug Splatter Sponges

    Mine is extremely hard unless I soak it in some fairly hot water for a while. Is that normal?

    Megs apc+ question

    Yeah that should be fine. Just make sure you don't let it sit on the surface too long as it can sometimes have a whitening effect. But with common sense there's no need to worry :xyxthumbs:

    I broke down

    For some reason with the pinnacle I found it was harder for the detergent to rinse out? I have an HE washer and used hot and cold cycles with an extra rinse. It sort of left a "crispier" (if you can call it that) feeling to the MF vs. the blackfire. But man is the blackfire expensive! :/

    Drying - Why MF/Waffle over Chamois?

    Like killrwheels said, a chamois has no nap. So any dirty that still managed to stay on the paint is rubbing all over the car, whereas an mf towel of waffle weave towel will hold the dirt within the nap and not scratch your paint.

    Buying Microfibers in Bulk?

    I would stay away from the walmart towels if you have a costco nearby. The quality of the costco microfiber towels, and the value, is significantly better than the walmart ones. If you can't order high quality microfiber towels quite yet, you would be better off at least using the costco ones...

    GDWM w/ Mits

    I would think that the mitts would hold and use up too much solution.

    Wow that looks fantastic! I've wanted to do something with my subby same color and if a white pad and 205 does the trick that's excellent!
