    Melt and re-pour Carnauba paste wax

    Interesting! Maybe just a little bit will do the trick. I definitely have some more experimenting to do, in what small spare time I have to play with this stuff. Any sealants in the PBMA lines polycharged? I forget...

    Flex 3401 with 5.5 and 6.5 LC CCS Pads

    This is not correct for the Flex 3401, it has forced rotation and will not slow down or stop rotating under excessive load. In fact the larger diameter pads may have more correcting power due to the outer edge having a higher rotational speed than a smaller diameter pad at the same speed...

    choose sealant or wax

    If I had to choose Soveran Liquid or WG DGPS 3.0, it would definitely be WG DGPS 3.0. I'm a big fan of the Hybrid Paste Waxes like Fuzion, DP Max Wax, Autoglym HD etc. Collinite 845 is awesome as well. Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 gives a nice glow unlike many sealants. On the other end of sealants...

    2 hours and still no perfection!!!

    I think the underlined part was the problem. The swirls and scratches that were left behind after 105 were the deepest ones. Trying to come back and get them on the next pass with a finer polish/pad won't likely work. The trick is to remove all the defects you intend to remove during the...

    Melt and re-pour Carnauba paste wax

    Just for fun, I did a new experiment (two years later LOL). I melted down a small portion of both Wolfgang Fuzion and AutoGlym HD, combined them and poured the mix into an empty wax tub. Here's a time lapse I made of the process- [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PzR9-ZrPXI]Combine Fuzion...

    Handle vs Bail

    Here's what I did, I can have both the bail handle and stick handle at the same time on my 3401 or my L3403. sanded down the sides of the plastic so it's skinnier- Now it will fit into the hole meant for the Allen head screw that holds on the bail handle- Fit's nice and tight. Done in...

    If you could have only ONE wax...

    Souveran for deep wet look and darkening effect. Fuzion for beautiful reflections. ...But the "look" really comes from polishing/correction. An orange peel-free surface worked to the final jeweling step is how you get visual impact. Spending time to polish further and finer than you can see...

    ONR or DP Wash & Gloss

    Haven't tried the reformulation but I really like the old version. It's hard to go wrong with anything DP, plus it's a PBMA product so buying it is extra good for the 'geek. :bowdown: Plus, see this thread- http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/39517-dp-rinseless-wash-gloss.html

    Can't Get Rid Of Brown Tires!

    +1 Amazing Roll off and +1 "tire dressing that is milky-like in appearance". Avoid clear tire spray like Megs Hot Tires or whatever its called, IMO. My favorite is DP Gloss Tire Gel.

    Can't Get Rid Of Brown Tires!

    Do you ever apply a tire gel? The brown stuff is natural, I forget the term but it's been posted about many times. Clean the tire to the best of your ability, dry the tires and apply a product like Opti-bond, which isn't too glossy and I think you will like.

    Sealant Advice?

    I agree about the choice of shampoo, try switching to Meg's Gold Class or DP Auto Bath. I do think that the super thin, sacrificial barrier, provided by an LSP does in fact help protect against the lightest and slightest wash induced marring. Of course it won't protect from scratches...

    Sealant Advice?

    Also, if you can find it, try Autoglym HD Wax. Great long lasting protection and beading.

    Sealant Advice?

    It's all about the prep. Clay, polish, IPA wipe to prepare the surface, then apply LSP(s). A well-polished surface will provide much better water beading/sheeting. If the paint surface is full of embedded contaminates, it totally ruins the effects your looking to get out of your sealant, try the...
