I try avoid using APC's on interiors if possible. OPC is the only one I trust on interiors and engines. I only use distilled H2O when I mix chemicals.

Looks like CCF to me. Sorry man it's a repaint.

Try 3D Towel Kleen very economical. I use that and CG MF detergent. Those are the two I found that do the best job for the money. It's even better when you find out they are telling you to use way too much product. Usually dying microfiber is in the details and overall quality of the towel and...

I finally got to testing it on my wife's 06 Honda Odyssey. Her paint is never trashed so I needed a good cutting AIO to pull up the gloss and lay down some protection. I used B&S orange foam and B&S MF finishing pads for spots. Outside in heat, humidity or direct sun it will dust and cake your...

Hey Tom, There are tons of options out there that could get you close. Your looking for my favorite type of products. Not a coating but close to it in longevity. There are several hybrid products out there for people like us who don't like to use coatings or have the facilities to properly...

They majority of towels I own are Rag Co. I get what I need at a very fair price. I have never had issues with lint or shedding except for the first wash and dry. Chances are many negative comments are due to misuse (the wrong towel/type of weave for the wrong task.) or poor care of the towels...

Meg's Hyperwash Daytona Speedmaster Pro wheel brush- 8 years and still going IUDJ- Never ceases to impress me. It's my most reached for product. Meguiar's DUB, Ultimate wheel cleaner. They don't beat out more expensive brands but they come damn close for a lot less money. I'll put a little more...

Finish Kare Hi-Temp, Collinite 476 are going to give you the most durability on a paste wax. If you go thin you will have no problems getting them off. I would go for 476 I'm just a Collinite fan. Finish Kare or any of the Collinite waxes one bottle or tin and your set for life and they will...

I'm sure some of these have been mentioned. Collinite 476, 845, Polish Angel Master Sealant, Soft 99 Fusso Coat (Epic water behavior, durability and starting to get cheaper in the states) Prima Epic ( I have personally had 7 months with 2 coats before it started to fail with proper maintenance...

+1 Ronin. I came to the conclusion that in reality coatings are superb for the things that have always been a detailing nightmare, Trim, Rims ( Engine Bays if you a handy enough to take parts out to coat the painted panels and plastic and reinstall everything.) and I would throw glass in there...

They are no more scratch resistant then your "scratch resistant" clear coats if anything less. You can still scratch them and induce marring with poor washing habits just like any other clear coat. They are not bomb proof they are in essence glass and glass scratches pretty easily. That's how I...

Menz tend to be on the oily side especially when you get down to the finer polishes. Your using 2500 on Honda paint try a firmer pad with less product. Prime your pad with 5 pea size drops of product and one spritz of distilled H2o. My usual starting point with a one step is orange pad then...

It comes down to what you want. You will make trade offs. Rule of thumb the better the glossier they look "show wax blends" higher oil content more gloss yields less durability. ( Rule of thumb but there are many exceptions out there.) Now there are rare exceptions that some how find a way to...

It's entirely about what set of circumstances you want to put up with. They have positives and negatives. I only coat trim and rims. Nothing can protect and make rims easier to clean then coating it. Trim is always the first things to start showing age and UV damage. I look at coatings this way...

I can assure you that there are things in this world and life that Hawkins had a hard time wrapping his mind around. He was a brilliant mind and I wish I could have sat down with him to just discuss every day things love, hope just humanity no science. We are all human and terribly flawed thus...

Machine does not matter it's skill and materials. If you know your tools and have the technique you should be able to do whatever you want with the paint. Just because it's a smaller hammer does not mean it can't drive the nails.

Twisted loop weave MF or waffle weave MF. Both are considered drying towels.

Have a bucket of APC and hot water ready. Toss them in as your working when they are spent. Go right from the bucket to hot water wash. You may need to wash them a few times with hot water and a rinse cycle with white vinegar but it will help in saving some of them.

+1 on Buff & Shine flat foam. Built like tanks.

D300 was on my list along with Cut & Finish. I'm going to seal it with Prima Epic. I thank you for your help I know Cut & Finish should knock them out.
