Check yourself on that wool wash pad. Maybe switch to microfiber mitt. With my black 4runner i'd use my clean leaf blower to start the drying process. Your drying towel may contribute swirls be gentle. I was on a 6 month polishing and sealant schedule. Deep in spring and light before winter snow.

I have three in my kit: WGDPS3.0, FK1000p, Colonite 845.

Depends on your expectations. You must ask yourself; Do I preserve it? Or Do I protect it? Are you hand rubbing? If so you have tried what Mike would say is "least aggressive method first".

Love it cool story. If you show it.... please tell me you are saving all the historical stuff inside.

I have been using D.U.B. wheel cleaner on my LAnd Rover wheels with great success, It took off the stuff that Griots HD wheel cleaner did not touch.

For the rinse I turn the water flow down low or skip it all together. After the wash, I usually use the same mitt that has been soaking in bucket of fresh clean water to give the jambs a quick wipe while rinsing the rest of the car.... works for me.

Am I the only one that opens the door while washing and runs my Micro-fiber wash mitt around the edges? I mean if you want it clean, clean it... To me the paint in the door jams is no different than the paint on the hood. Clean it protect it.

I spray a dedicated brush directly , then apply to tire. Works well gets in all the nooks and crannies.

I feel like an enabler. I made the mistake of leaving all my detailing products just sitting around in plain view, and next thing I know my stuff is disappearing. I think my APC is watered down to what ratio I don't know, tire coating just gone. I found the optimum wash in his shower with a...

It is a family car. Will that make a difference in how we approach the detail?

I think he has gone off the deep end. It is spring in Ohio, mid seventies and sunny at 6:30 AM Saturday, I heard the garage door open and he was gone before I could talk to him. I found these in his laundry. When and if he comes home at a reasonable hour I will have to confront him.I think this...

Over time it has become apparent that my teenage son has an addiction... If he comes home with another random car I am just not sure how I will react. His addiction started off fairly innocently. However, the gates have opened and it is starting to get serious. What is the best way to treat this...

My son has been at it again and this time he kicked it up a notch. There will be significant consequences if we don't get it right. Today he brought home a SL600 V12 that has been in storage for some time. He asks "do you think you can help get this back into shape?" As any loving father would...
