Yeah exactly. It’s that “era” of wrap, is what I meant. Not so worried about warranty as I bought the car used. Just want to be sure I didn’t harm the material I guess.

A little bit of my XPEL PPF (2012-2014 year) had some hard water spots, so I used a cleaner wax which I stupidly later realized has petroleum in it, to clean said spots off. It worked like a charm, but now I'm concerned about whether I've prematurely damaged or worn my expensive film. Anyone...

Ahh, damn so I'm using too little product. So it's half an ounce huh. I guess that makes it easy, just have to double my amount used.

I'd appreciate if you could. Now wondering if my measurements have been off due to using the "bottle cap method". I definitely do worry to much with this car, lol. My first Jet Black car, driving me nuts, but getting the hang of it. Really love this stuff though, even taking into consideration...

Interesting, thanks. I do remember him saying that it should be sufficient if used EVERY time (adding up wax I guess), but I'll go back and check. The Waterless Wash I used before did indeed leave a very "slippery" surface, though that product was too intense/difficult for every wash's use. I...

So I ordered, and washed with this twice already. Using a Chenille MF Mitt, plush MF towels to dry/buff (buffing is VERY minimal, seems like it dries like water more-so than leaving thick wax residue, is this normal?), two bucket method (one of them with a grit-guard). Absolutely LOVE IT...

I've been using "All", the one with no perfumes or dyes, intended for "sensitive skin". It seems to be their competing product to Woolite. I dunno if it's the soap or what, but I feel like I'm noticing my fluffy MF's quickly start to get thinner and harder. Don't know why as it seems this...

Ok now that makes sense. Yeah, I used the wrong word. So they said there's no *ABRASIVES* that could strip the existing Wax/Sealant (obviously they didn't bring up whether the clay does or does not).

I asked them if it had any light "abrasives" (like a Cleaner Wax) that essentially can remove any clear coat and they assured me that it does NOT. Is that not true? I guess it comes down to people's different opinion on "cleaners". From what I understood or though I did, SM One is no more...

Ah, ok thanks. I guess that makes sense (if it's all about a soaked Mitt or MF or whatever you use).

I have a question.... Can you use a Rinseless Wash, i.e ONR Wash/Wax in the same kind of way that you can a Waterless Wash? I.e, just mix a gallon, then fill a spray bottle with it, and saturate a panel with the Rinseless solution, and wipe away? I don't see how that can be any different more...

I meant the guys who make SmartWax One (they were at a stand at the Auto Show which is where I was introduced to the product). Are you referring to that same exact product in which you've used for years? I really like it, and had no problems at all with it on my white car, but on my black car...

Thanks. Good point at the end. I mean, I buffed it by hand. Hopefully that wouldn't be enough pressure (even though I had to press a lot harder and buff a lot more than I wanted to since the damn thing was so stubborn to buff out) to strip Sealant anyway.

Thanks, I hope not. I'm learning so much through every mistake I make, I guess it's partially worth it. Had I not had such a tough time scrubbing off the clay that comes with "One", which resulted in some premature swirls (though not nearly as noticeable or bad as I had initially feared) I...

I used the same Smartwax One stuff, as I've talked to the guys and they assured that it is NOT a Cleaner, and is safe to "layer" and such. I've also heard other users claim that it doesn't strip LSP. I really hope it doesn't! I used it 3 weeks after getting my car sealed with Menzerna Polymer...

Will do, will be ordering some ONR W/W for my next wash! Is there a link to somewhere where I can find one of these "debates"? I'm just wondering what the "pro side" argues that the clay in Waterless Washes is good for, and the con side as well (which I assume might have to do with being too...

Thanks. Can you by chance elaborate on the pro's/con's of the clay that's in the Waterless Wash I used? I heard somewhere that it's good for hiding swirls? My problem with it is that it was such a pain for me to buff out (the Clay part I'm assuming as buffing Carnuba has never been an issue...

Kinda both, lol. Dust accumulates on my car within hours, and I used to use a CA Car Duster on my white car but have been advised not to do so on my black car. It took me hours to apply my "Smartwax One" because the buffing was just so time consuming for some reason (never had that problem...

Interesting. Would you say a Waterless Wash is known to be "easier" to use than a Rinseless Wash (or vice versa)? I'm looking for at least a rinseless way to keep my car clean, but find that using the W/W product I have now is too intensive (buffing it out takes time), especially since I'd love...

Great info here as I'm a huge believer in the almost miracle-ness of good Waterless Wash/Wax combo's. I've been using SmartWax One, since it was the first of this that I was introduced to, and must say that I'm very happy with it, HOWEVER, on my New black car I noticed that buffing it out was...
