Thank you for this wonderful site and wonderful community. I am a newbie. What got me into detailing was that this past March I got both of my vehicles detailed. It was just the exterior and it was $100 a pop. I was planning on doing it twice a year but then, started to wonder, if I could save some by doing it myself ($400 a year). So, like so many of you, I started on this auto detailing shopping spree. First came the Griot's DA orbital with their clay, quick detailer, polish, wax, a polish pad a a wax pad, DVD and detailer's booklet. Then, Collinite 845 followed. I then really started to voraciously read everything I could find on-line about detailing. It was then that I discovered this site. It was apparent that I was still lacking some must-haves. So my next order included a bag, 9 microfiber towels, 2 microfiber wash mitts, and Griot's multiple-pattern nozzle with a car wash dispenser. I thought that I was complete but then from this site I ordered 2 bottles of Duragloss 501, 6 LC orange pads and 2 LC gray pads. I have since then gotten Meguiar's UC and QD. Thank you for starting me on this journey that I have enjoyed thus far---I just really hope that I don't end up on the TV show "Hoarders!"

I have two questions. I am considering getting one of the Wolfgang twins, the finishing one, and was wondering whether applying the 501 over it would strip it of its fillers and gloss?
I was thinking of going with the Wolfgang, then the 501, and then the Collinite. My other question is about matching Griot's free shipping policy. I was thinking of ordering some things (I know, I know) from the BOGO and Special Deals sections. Would Autogeek match the free shipping or not?
Thanks,

Capablanca

I don't think youll have any problems applying any wax or sealant over the Wolfgang Twins, note that the Finishing Glaze is VERY light so if you want to remove swirls and scratches get both, you'll need the Total Swirl Remover to actually remove swirls.

Wolfgang products work great! Check these out...

Also, here's a couple of suggestions...

This is the intro forum. You'll tend to get a lot more and a lot better answers to your questions if you take and copy and paste your questions about your detailing project and then start a dedicated thread for how-to questions in a forum group for how-to questions instead of tagging them onto your intro thread.



Also, another friendly suggestion is if you're working on more than one project, start a dedicated thread for each project, like this,


  • Need help removing swirls from my black truck?
  • Looking for product to create high gloss finish on my Corvette?

The reason for this is because you make it easier for all the friendly and helpful people on this forum to type out replies.

  • A good title that tells people what you're working on
  • A thread for each project
The Detailing 101 forum which is a catch-all forum for any kind of question.
