My wheels are silver painted with a clearcoat (stock VW wheels). To polish them I've just been using a cut up orange Buff & Shine pad with UNO, but it's a PIA and very time consuming. The wheels are a 10 spoke design with plenty of room between the spokes to get my hand between them for...

Barry--in a couple of past posts you mention that "Window Cleaner" can be a more effective way to remove polishing oils than just a straight IPA wipe down, but I can't remember or find any posts where you go into detail about what you use or mix for this type of solution. So, do you still...

Has anyone used Rust-Oleum Garage Floor Epoxy??? Interested in how it holds up over time and how it resists hot tire pickup??

Opti-Eraser pads are now shipping and was wondering if anyone (primarely Scottwax) can give us insight into how they perform??? How many times can they be used? Do they clean easily so as to not add marring into the paint?? Do they really speed the process up vs clay??? etc, etc

Stopped by my local Harbor Freight to pick up some shop towels they had on special so took the opportunity to look at the new DA polisher. I have to admit I was impressed--seems very solidly built and felt good in the hands. Speed switch is a continuous switch without detents at each speed...

Any company, even with the best quality control, is going to have glitches from time to time. What's important is how they handle customer sat issues when these glitches occur. I had a bottle of POXY shipped in January that separated into small pellets and clear liquid and no amount of...

Has anyone used 3D Towel Kleen for MF towels? How is it? Nothing in the description of the product mentions MF. Can it be used in typical top loader washing machines and what amount per load as the instructions on the website only mention commercial car wash type washing machines.

BJs has the GG6 on sale until 9/30 for $90 ($95 for non members) including free shipping.

The instructions for use of HD Polish and HD Uno on the 3D website both say :"2.Prior to use, condition foam pad by misting it with HD® Touchâ„¢. Apply 6-8 pea sized drops on to the pad and work on a 2' by 2' area." Rarely does anyone here report they use it this way. Some say prime the pad...

1. 1997 Ford Escort, Pacific Green Metallic-polished by hand about 5 years ago-water etchings, wash marring, scratches typical as shown in the first photo. Preparing this car for sale so didn’t want to spend too much time on it. After CG Citrus wash and Clay Magic clay the plan was to use...

Has anyone tried 3D Eraser to remove water spots/etching on paint???

Since the ValuGard Paint Decontamination System only comes in one large kit the does 10-15 cars it is impractical for those of us just taking care of our own cars. Are there acceptable and effective alternatives that are available in smaller sizes??

My 2007 Passat was protected with Z2 initially and then I switched to DG105. In all that time I never had one water spot on the car. In May I polished with Speed and then added a coat of POXY the next morning. Over the past week we've had some heavy showers followed by full sun. For the...

After months of looking at cars from the Cube, Versa, Soul, Forester, Impreza, Hyundai's etc, etc, my wife finally decided on a VW Golf (which I suggested in the first place--should have kept my mouth shut), but to my dismay she chose non-metallic Black. I must say the car looks great for a...

I'm in the process of doing my wife's 97 Ford Escort--paint seems pretty hard--with UNO V4 and a 5.5" B&S Yellow pad with my GG DA--speed 5.5. Prime the pad with 3 pea size drops of UNO--after about 3 or 4 passes the UNO seems to have dried up and is producing some dust or is this just my...

I've been using Dawn Power Disolver to clean my B&S foam pads with great results--removes polishes and even Sealants with ease and seems to rinse out well--it doesn't seem to contain the hand softening agents as in regular Dawn. I read a post on another forum from someone who claim Dawn Power...
