I am looking to possibly save some time on the following paint process for customer's swirled cars: 1. Wash 2. Clay 3. DP SSE or MSE, depending on severity 4. DP FFP (chemical polish w/very mild abrasives) 5. DP Sealant Because the Swirl Eliminator is leveling the paint and the Final...

Which wax or sealant keeps its slickness for the longest amount of time in your experience?

Are there any QD's available locally that excel at cleaning and dusting, kinda like Spray and Wipe? I use FX Spray wax for the gloss and extra protection, but I have no idea which of the rest of the store-bought QD's would be right for waterless washing (just mild dust) and generally cleaning. TIA

Do chemical paint polishes like ColorX and PB's PP do anything on clearcoats that claying can't?

OK, I have questions about four different SMR's 1. Does DP Super Swirl Eliminator haze? How well does it finish? What pad(s) should be used with it? 2. Same as #1, but pertaining to Optimum Compound? 3. Does WG Total Swirl remover have enough power to compete with the above two...

If anyone here has used the Black Magic Tire Wet Gel, can you please tell me if you also got a black sheet of goo on the parts of the wheels nearest to the tire? Is it the product's fault, or am I doing something wrong?

I am probably going to get some Collinite 845, and I wanted to know if it was attracted dust (like most Carnaubas), or if it's anit-static (good on wheels?). If it is static, are there any spray waxes or detailers available OTC that are antistatic? Mother's FX SPray wax? Thanks in advance

I bought Lexol Conditioner, stepping up from Black Magic (didn't do much), and I found it smells like piss and leaves a very tacky, sticky, and shiny finish. Can anyone recommend me an inexpensive conditioner that does an okay job without the stickiness? Is the Lexol Neatsfoot Dressing any...

How easy to use are the PB Wheel Sealant, Wheel Wax, and DP? Is there an easier way to protect wheels, cuz I hate even drying/polishing them. I know ull all say "it makes future cleanings easier" but it's not for my car, so I was wondering if maybe Mother's FX Spray Wax would do an OK job on them.

Is it possible to put on a final spray wax coating of say, OCW or Mother's FX Spray, immediately over a polymer sealant, like EX, or will it "drown" the sealant?

Has anyone tried Hi-Temp's long term sealant, or any of the one step products that TOL sells?

I did a search of these forum, and I read that carnauba wax has a curing time of 5-7 days. Does this mean if the car gets wet within that time, the wax won't fully bond? Also, does it mean that you can't layer on a sealant or different wax immediately after the first one? And I know some...

I am definitely a n00b when it comes to detailing, but the few cars I've done have taught me that I need a polish. They are fairly new cars, but they have never even been waxed in their life! I'm looking for a good, fairly inexpensive polish that I can use after claying and California Gold...

Has anyone ever tried this stuff? It's pretty cheap for a 4oz. bar. Also, is it okay to clay using the soapy solution while washing? Thanks...
