    how NOT to detail a car....VID

    Yikes. I was waiting for him to use a leaf blower to dry it out. Not much dumber than using steel wool to wash the exterior I guess...

    Using ONR

    Takes me about 20 minutes to do an average sized car. I mimic the same technique as posted earlier. Might take me longer with excessive dirt. Once done with the paint, I pour the remainder of ONR in another designated bucket for tires, wheels and wells. Lets put it this way...it takes a...

    I'm new to using a Makita 9227c Polisher

    Its fairly easy to use. Just go carefully, keep the polisher moving and take your time. You'll be amazed how much easier and faster it is to use over the orbital. Make sure to tape all necessary trim beforehand. Also, let the Makita do the work. No need to apply extra pressure to get the job done.

    New Wolfgang 3.0 Twins Review

    Thank you for the kind words. Love conversing with those who share the same passions. BTW, have used the twins with a rotary. Awesome combo. Tend to use the glaze first before the total swirl remover and hardly need the TSR. Damn, almost out; guess I'll have to buy more.

    New Wolfgang 3.0 Twins Review

    Yes, but its a great cleaner anytime. Gets out grime ONR cannot. Almost like a paint eraser. Love the stuff.

    New Wolfgang 3.0 Twins Review

    Its a light chemical cleaner from Duragloss. Awesome product for an AIO application. Use it after claying. Works wonders on wheels too. My fav product so far.

    Cleaning Inside of Windshield

    Afterwards, keep some window cleaner and a mf in your car. When you drive into the sun, you'll no doubt find some missed spots. Pull over in a lot facing sun and finish the job.

    Glass streaks

    Best procedure for me is wash first with ONR, wipe dry and use Aquawax for final swipes. Underrated on windows/glass, never streaks and leaves surface smooth and slick. Makes rain bead right off during rain (no wipers needed).

    Still like the Pro Grout sponges when using ONR...easier to rinse out dirt in the bucket...

    pinnacle or wolfgang tire gel

    personally, i like the pinnacle. seems to sling less and has a nice look. just remember to gently wipe with a mf towel 10 minutes after applying. 2x coats will leave a shinier finish. a little goes a long way too.

    two is usually the norm--the 2nd one for insuring coverage. some like upgp look great after three.

    Need help...getting ready for new black car

    Don't forget to save up for psychiatric bills...Black is awesome but unless you dial down perfect paint expectations, you could be wearing a straight jacket in the near future :xyxthumbs:

    Quick detailers with good cleaning power??

    Yeah, but I've read that with that light a mix, AW doesn't add too much sealant properties. Will say that AW alone is awesome on glass. No streaks and leaves glass incredibly slick.
