Once ink or dye as been allowed to set no amount of APC will remove it. Steam might help, but it will also lightly damage the top coating of the leather. I know Dave Fermani used Leatherdoctor's products with great sucess so I would look into that also. Roger Koh of LeatherDoctor is an...

I liked the high foaming as I felt it helped migrate the dirt up through the fibers. Later on when I started to extract carpets it became a problem so I stopped using it. Still have KK but I rarely reach for it. Normally for stains and such folex is my go-to also but for general purpose...

Have you tried using a real stain remover instead of just an APC? Folex has worked the majority of the time for most stains and ususally if that doesnt work I resort to using steam and krud kutter.

No matter what wash media I buy, I always end up going back to the grout sponge. There is just something about it. :dunno:

Sorry to say this but, they dont. The real important part in shampoos is the lubricity. Lubricity is what prevents dirt from marring your paint. Manufacturers make their shampoos "sudsy" to make their product appealing because the public in general believe it is the suds/foam that lifts away...

Both are alkaline cleaners(as is almost all APC's) and safe for all wheels so you shouldnt really have to worry about it. Dedicated wheel cleaners are the ones that can be one or the other.

I use a few Zep products and all of the work extremely well and are pretty darn cheap. Zep Citrus- good as a wheel cleaner, engine degreaser, and lsp stripper at 4:1. You can also clean interior panels, dash, etc... at 10:1 Zep Industrial Purple - I use it mainly for tires, wheel wells, under...

+1 Whats everybodys obsession with suds anyways? They do absolutely nothing.

You shouldnt need a wheel cleaner once you have them cleaned up real good. Apply a wax or sealant on the wheels and all you will need to clean them is soap and water. If you want economical any APC will do fine diluted as a general purpose wheel cleaner. Some are slightly more effective then...

Layering is useless and has been proven thickness does not increase with additional applications. 2 layers for complete coverage is more than adequate. The clay in question could be part of the chemical make up to increase its hiding abilities. Stop worrying about it.

Charge about $20- $25 per foot. with RVs and boats. They are in a different ball park then cars. Not only are they long but they are also high and wide(dont forget the roof). Also factor in the amount of work to get gel coat looking good. Its hard work. However, I highly doubt the SN truck...

I havent really been on the forums much these past couple months since I've been trying to get back into building a track car. With that said, detailing has been put on the back burner and while I still do it from time to time its not enough to justify keep all these products around. This is...

Heat gun and a plastic razor blade/old credit card will remove the majority of it and wd40 or any petroleum distillate will take care of the residue.

None of those additives really work. Gas already has detergents in it and being a natural solvent would clean most every thing. Also all cars have an inline fuel filter that traps all sediment/debris from the tank. If something were to get past the fuel filter no magic liquid is going to...

Wow! that re-spray looks nasty! Whoever painted the car before he got it did a horrible job. Good thing you were able to salvage it. Im guessing from the amount of days you worked on it the entire car was resprayed?

You need to keep these unnecessary comments to yourself. We don't need this thread locked again.

Carnauba or sealant. It doesnt really matter what it is. Its their formulatiosn that make up its durability. With that being said, AW is a spray sealant and a booster product, not a lsp like OCW. AW lasts 3 weeks max for me in the north east. OCW lasts about 2 months. For the price and...

Dawn with a zep citrus(4:1) sprayed on as you work each panel for the first wash and any maintentance shampoo after, i.e. dj btbm, wolfs shampoo..etc. Spray wax ocw is fine but I like AW better. OCW has a high streaking if accidentally used excessively. AW goes on crystal clear and never leaves...

The brand is too new at AG so people havent had the time yet. I tried quite a few of their like years back and most was average at best. However the 3 products you ordered are good, so no worries. :xyxthumbs:

Besides the cheap ebay clay bars its all personal preference. There really is no best bang for the buck clay. Pricing is so similar between all major brands per oz, at best you'll save a dollar or two. Best I can say is stick to what you feel is is best. I like clay magic blue and mothers...
