I'm a nay on the PB Bug Squash. I just didn't see an appreciable difference between soaking bugs with Bug Squash and soaking them with an APC. Also, I tend to err on the side of having fewer one-gallon jugs to store.

I use HD Speed once/year on my cars. Then on maintenance washes, I use Meg's Quick Detailer or one of the Meg's spray waxes as a drying aid. It's inexpensive and my cars never stop beading. The Meg's QD doubles as a clay lube.

Actually, I was looking for pictures of the girl.

Absolutely invaluable. Mine is the size of a deck of cards. Also can charge phones and other devices. $50 has bailed me out 3-4 times, if you include boats.

CarPro Denim pads and M105 is the exact combo I used on a section of my car that was repainted and had minor-to-medium orange peel. I would say I worked an area 3-4 passes, less than 20 seconds and got noticeable improvement. The pads get gunked up fast, for about a 1' x 2' area, using four...

I still have a bottle of 106 FA (now SF-3500 or 3800), jewels a BMW finish like nothing else I've found.

I own both machines. The Flex will cut your buffing time in half, at least. I now use my PC with 3" pads for tighter areas, great 1-2 combination.

She put some thought into her spam at least.

I'm going to say no to using ONR for this wash. Actually, I wouldn't wash it at all, looks great like that.

My own personal strategy is to practice some fairly strong social distancing and ride it out at least past the first peak of cases that hit the hospitals. Roughly 5% of people who get the virus end up hospitalized. If I'm unlucky and am among the 5%, I don't want it to be during the peak when...

Why is everyone buying TP? This is a respiratory illness. And why is everyone going to Costco? Our local grocer had pretty much everything. I have some elderly neighbors, they were going to the grocery store, THEY TEXTED ME and asked if I needed anything. Talk about feeling guilty. Overall...

What do you like better, the IK or the Worx?

I'm always interested in this kind of thing. Perfect chance for an experiment. Record the day you apply the Collinite, keep track of the number of washes, tell us if the car seems protected (beads water, etc.) in the Spring.

I have had this happen by trying to treat too many panels at once. I caught it fast and was able to re-wet the area with ONR and wipe it off fairly easily. However, this results in more Iron-X (and smell) getting into your towels, so it's preferable to be able to rinse off the Iron-X. Also, once...

Rinseless wash can be done in a garage with no drain. I did it for years. Wash the car, go have lunch, by the time you come back, the water on the floor has dried. Might take longer in the winter though.

Good advice. I would say if iron remover gets into a nook by spraying, then you rinse that area, chances are the rinse will get in there too. Also, if iron remover gets somewhere and escapes rinsing, it won't react forever. To oversimplify, once an iron remover reacts with an iron (complex)...

This has been going on at dealerships for years. It's mind-boggling that apparently management and worker bees alike are happy to slap a rotary to car paint and not be interested enough to read a single article about how to do it properly. It really does not take that much more effort to do it...

Thread bump alert - so I was looking for the latest in AIOs and durability, came across this thread. I like HD Speed for my wife's car and my son's car because they don't care that much. I detail them with a clay/HD Speed once/year. I used HD Speed on my wife's car some time in the summer of...

PC 7424 was my first machine. I thought it took to long for larger jobs, so I bought a Flex. I now use the PC exclusively with 3" pads and I think it works great this way.

I prefer rinseless washes. I use a 2-gallon garden sprayer with ONR made with soft water from my house. So, short version, rinseless wash, Iron-X, rinseless wash. I do about a quarter of the car at a time. I use the garden sprayer as my "hose" to rinse the Iron-X from nooks and crannies. I've...
