Digging up a very old thread - so apologies there. Being that its 2014 now, is there a recommended way to restore a microfiber towel's water absorption abilities? My plush and waffle weave towels are starting to really repel water now and are basically useless - especially the waffle weave...

Ok just got done using D156 as a drying agent during my rinseless wash. Wow. Wow. Wow. Cut my waffle weave towel usage in half! Also makes drying so much easier. Incredible stuff really considering how cheap it is by the gallon and how far it goes. Plus the extra little bump in wax protection...

In for more ideas for storage. Tupperware would be fine? Zip lock bag?

Reviving an older thread here but would a GG 6" DA polisher w/ 3" pad be fine for the grit discs? Or do they have too much power for this even on the lowest setting?

Agree! I tried to correct without sandpaper and works just fine! Just got around to doing a headlight correction on moms rx300. 3" orange hex logic pad using megs ultimate compound and then m205. Impressive! And so simple!

Ah there we go! Thanks for the video. Great help here everyone! One last question before I order my d156. Do I avoid the windows and glass with this process? I don't want to cause any chattering etc with my wipers

Thanks for the replies. The video shows how to use it after the car has been dried. So that didn't help. So for drying agent just wash, rinse then spray D156. Water on car will dilute it and then I just wipe dry as normal? The d156 somehow aids in drying the car faster and leaves a protective...

Hi, so I know you can use it as a drying agent but can't seem to find any links, videos or threads about how to use it as a drying agent. Do I need to mix it with water in a spray bottle? Wash car, rinse car, spray the above D156 mix and dry as normal?

Thanks! I gave the car a quick pass with the medium clay and it got probably 90% of the bumps after doing another bag test. As it's a daily driver, I didn't want to make more passes which would lead to even more work during the polish stage. I just lived with it and did the M205/Klasse...

Better on the gloves than my hands. Maybe this clay is old because it really comes apart and bits break off whenever I just simply fold it

Found a local detailer who was nice enough to give me some used medium clay. Much better but still not perfect. Maybe it's just dust I'm feeling? The clay breaks apart easily and sticks to my gloves too. Hmm

Unfortunately no and no. No autozones and chemical guys is in Southern California. I'm in northern :( I do have amazon prime and can get clay or a nanoskin medium by Tuesday. I had just planned to use my weekend to finally detail the car.

I did iron x it after the first round of clay using nano skin fine grade. Not a ton of purple reactions went on. Went to do bag test and found a ton of rough spots. Used the blue fine clay at that point but it still wasn't helping. Or at least it was taking a ton of elbow grease to make any...

Car is a 2012 VW GTI. Garaged but hasnt been protected for about a year ... meaning no wax, sealant anything. California weather but overall the paint is still very new looking. Used some old Clay Magic blue fine grade clay that I had stored away. Still felt normal like clay should but its...

Made 2 gallons of water with 1 oz ONR and washed the car last night. I have a little leftover solution in the bucket still and would hate to waste it. If I used the method where no dirty mf towels were introduced into the bucket, would it be fine to use it for say a clay lube bottle or quick...

If the headlights have only minor hazing, can I just skip the wet sanding all together? My strongest compound is meguiars ultimate and strongest pad would be orange hex foam. Have m205 and some aio's for the finer polishing. But if those won't get past anything without sanding first then I'll...

Is there a protective product that can be applied to stainless or mild steel exhaust metal? Looking for something that will aid in rust or dirt in general.

Ugh. Ok. If I were to give it a shot just to remove the lighter scratches easily, what would I use?

Looking at a used exhaust system for my car and wondering if a DA plus any type of pad/polish would be able to work these out or at least hide them to some degree: Seller says some of them can be felt using fingernail. Any suggestions or ideas?

Ugh. Unfortunately there aren't any Advanced Autos in my area. None within 100 miles even. I'll just postpone. I hear too much about how people won't ever let the Costco Kirkland towels touch their paint.
