I swear this is true

Thanks guys.

With all of your references, think about how many new products AG is going
to have to carry now.
 
They could be selling a lot of 409! Why didn't they think of it before?
 
i saw a guy using a short bristle broom that you would use to sweep up dust. He was dipping it into a bucket (i can only imagine what product he was using). It was raining at the time too so he didnt have a need for a hose I suppose,, since i didnt see one. I just started shaking my head n kept driving haha

How about kerosene as a wash to stop the rust.

Gasoline works much better than kerosene. If that doesn't work, heating the rust spot works much better. Just stand back a few feet before heating. :D

Actually adding a cup of kerosene to the wash is great for removing those tiny tar specs, and it's not bad for the paint but I would re-wax after doing that. It's just an oil, no harm at all in using it.

I've heard this over the years, but have never tried it out. My luck it would take the paint off. J/K

I've used it and it works well, I've even used it full strength to remove thick road tar for the last 10 years on my Vette and the paint is in great shape.

I used Simple Green Pro HD the other day for road tar, and bugs. It worked very well. It's also safe for Aluminum.
 
Last winter I saw a guy working at a used car lot using a push broom to get snow and ice off the cars, bet he still works there...

I am sure he was using the more expensive detailing broom with car safe bristles.:p
 
Funny thread. My ex girlfried sprayed windex all over her honda civic and use an old pillow case to get that supreme shine. I wasn't suprised by her actions.... she also drove on an ice packed highway in Flagstaff with the cruise control engaged. Dumb Beotch!
 
saw a guy in a parking lot with his sweater rubbing the sh** out of cherokee...dinglebat
 
I was having a smoke and saw this dude washing a black Lincoln Towncar... with 4 pieces of paper towel and windex. I thought to myself... no wonder the car has no shine.
 
I saw a "detailer" using steel wool to remove bugs from a painted plastic bumper. I've seen a dealership use a 55 gallon garbage can filled with soap and water used as the community wash bucket. Then I saw a girl scrub her dirty black car with a brush before spraying it off. I offered to help spray but she declined, telling me she hadn't scrubbed that side yet.
 
I saw a car wash using ungers conservatory glass cleaner to clean cars, makes them really shiney but eats through clear coat!

Actually a lot of show car guys still do this trick, it is their glaze I guess.
 
Didn't Meguiars start out with furniture polishes?
Perhaps there is some coorelations there.

I'm fairly sure this is where some of the larger, long scratches came from on my car across the roof and trunk lid. Thankfully they came out almost 100% with my first attempt at polishing.

Doing a car for alady later in the week, I mentioned I can clean and wax it or polish it and remove the swirls. She says what swirls? I explain that they come from normal washing with towles and going through automatic carwashes. Happens to most cars.

Her response, "Well you won't have to worry about that becsuse I just let the rain wash it off."

I may need a new supply of clay after this but I think the AIO will do wonders. :)
