I've been using those for several years. They work great but wear out quickly. Definitely the best tool for removing decals or pinstripes.

Already did my wifes car. Put 2 coats of Megs NXT and will probably add 1 more coat in Oct. or early Nov. Then it's ONR washes for the winter. I'll add another coat of NXT in Jan. if it looks like it needs it. Our garage is heated so it's not so bad working out there. My daily driver gets...

Does the Collinite 845 leave any dust residue? I've been thinking about trying it.

Zaino is just as good as any of the thousands of other products, sealers, polishes, cleaners, etc you can buy. Some will say it's better.

What scent dakota bomb did you like / use?

Yep, I love QD's also. I use it more than any other product.

I've tried a few new ones recently but if I had to choose just one, I'd pick Zaino Z-6. Affordable. Leaves the surface ultra slick and shiny. And it smells great.

I've been using the yellow MF from Costco. They're working just as well as some of the more expensive ones I've bought. Doing the scratch test with a CD and rubbing very hard, they didn't leave a single scratch. I just be sure to rip all the tags off them and wash them first before using them.

I've been wanting to try ONR for a while now. Can it also be used as a quick detailer in a spray bottle? Would mix ratio would be best using it like that?

I'm just wondering what it is that ONR contains that allows it to be used like that.

Let me reiterate. As a product, what makes ONR special as a no rinse? What does it contain to be able to use it as a "no rinse" wash? Why couldn't a product like Meguires Gold Class car wash be used the same way that ONR is used?

I was thinking about trying a no rinse was like Optimum No Rinse but what is the difference between that and just a regular wash shampoo, besides maybe the suds?? Why couldn't your regular wash soap be used the same way as ONR? Give me reasons why to use or try ONR. What makes ONR so special...

Is applying a wax over a coat of dust really a good idea?

I have added those items to my wish list. I'll give them a try along with some of the other suggestions. Thanks for your help!

I've had my current California duster for about 4 years now and it's well broken in. On a cool spring or fall day, slightly overcast, I can use the duster no problem followed up with a QD. The problem was on the 4th of July, it was about 90 degrees out and the sun was very intense. Days like...

I know some of you have mentioned using the California Duster, but on a black or dark colored car it just makes a mess on a hot surface. The wax in the duster fibers will melt off and make a mess all over your paint. I've already learned the hard way. I'll have to try some of the other QD's you...

I've tried the Meguiars in the past and it just about dries up and evaporates as soon as it hits hot black body panels. Granted this is a car that sits in the hot summer sun for 6 hours or more. You could fry an egg on the hood, but I wouldn't try it. Dust and fingerprints always seem to...

A few of the cars shows I attend are about a 20-30 minute drive. By the time I get there, I'll have a light coating of dust on the car. I was using Lucas Slick Mist, which says it can be applied in direct sunlight but it seems to leave a lot of streaks. But on a hot summer day in the sun, on...

What about doing some before and after pictures to compare and show the difference and improvement? Some people will simply see a shiny clean car. Showing them before pictures of swirls and scratches that are now gone would make a good impression I would think.

I'll have to check what number is on it. I got it at my local NAPA parts store. I saw 3M polishing compound and 3M rubbing compound. I just need to fix a few light scratches so I got the polishing compound. I'll use it with a foam polishing pad. I'ts been years, but I used a rotary buffer many...
