i have two BMWs - both have rock hard paint. i won't be surprised if you need an orange pad with m205 to get rid of light scratches.

I had the exact reaction when I figured all of this out. You've really nailed it - so much of detailing is marketing. You'll learn to see through the bs and realize you don't have to buy every new thing + take many of the advertisements with a grain of salt.

Dlux without question. I applied it to my truck over a year ago and it’s still going strong.

I’ll be honest my mitt has a problem releasing dirt. Yes, some comes off, but no more/less in a bucket of water than with ONR.

I have the microfiber mitt used in this review. Do you recommend 1 bucket for this or two when using this mitt? Does the solution allow for the dirt on it to be released once introduced back into the bucket?

I'd suggest wrapping the part that hits your paint with a microfiber.

Sorry, I should have mentioned, I’d be comparing this against OptiBond or Chemical Guys VRP which have great beading and last very long

Nice simple to follow video. Really enjoy your stuff. That being said, I can’t say I’m at all impressed with Hyper Dressing on tires based on what you’ve shown. Tires seem to have faded half way through and the water beading was minimal.

UWW has wax in it. I’d suggest checking with the body shop to see how soon you’ll be able to wax or clean the car. I believe the general best practice here is to wait 30 days to clean/wax new paint (as painful as that sounds)

Even with the write-up I'm not quite sure how this differs from a carnauba spray wax

Ultima has a waterless wash that leaves acrylic protection.

Really nice job and great write up. Not sure what this says about opticoat....

Can you please provide a link on their site? The ones I'm seeing are $55.

Has anyone used Wolfgang's as a waterless wash? If so, how do results compare to Ultima?

BRS not working great for me either. Sounded like sandpaper running across the paint (which was recently clayed). Drying towel was dirty. This doesn't happen with the microfiber rinseless wash mitt or Gary Dean method. My only thought is the sponge may need to be broken in. Otherwise a...

Maybe some small barriers around the car - makeshift gates with string or something with a sign that says "DO NOT TOUCH". Also, maybe install a NEST camera (or something similar) that stays focused on the car.

Not seeing any pics on here - is that just me?

Thanks for this - been using VRP or 303 and it doesn't seem to last long. What do you use for prep? I'm thinking D101 @ 4:1.

Good luck down there
