    Warm water wash?

    An OCD pondering moment ... We typically wouldn't think about washing dishes, most soiled clothes or ourselves in ice cold water... Anybody use warm water to wash a vehicle ? Reasons not to other than easier straight from the hose ? Benefits besides it probably removes some grime with...

    Klasse experts - question of the day

    On my wife's (lt. blue) Buick Regal, I used AIO and KSG x2 and I can 'see' the protection. It's hard to describe, but sorta looks like it's sealed in plastic if that makes sense. On my (frost white) Rendezvous, I used AIO and KSG. In each of the following 2 weeks, folowing a good wash, I've...

    Super Chamois

    I posted this in the WM waffle weave MF thread, but felt it deserved it's own billing. I first bought the super chamois years ago at the NYS Fair. This is a synthetic chamois that when washed is as soft as felt. I believe this is very paint safe. It holds water (many times it's weight) like...

    PC for wipe down / buffing

    Anybody use their PC for wipe dow / buffing w/pad & MF bonnets? I applied the Klasse twins to my ride on the week-end. I used the pc to apply AIO, but the wipe down for it (and KSG) were MF by hand. Product with a lot of carrier might be a problem, but KSG has virtually no carrier to speak...

    My time with the twins

    Yea, I was having a moment there too! But alas, I mean the Klasse twins. I don't have any before pics because 1) this isn't "click 'n brag" and 2) It's fairly new and in good shape. It did it's 1st 12k as a fleet vehicle and is in real good shape, just has a little bit of brush marks - must...

    "I love tha gal, bt that's not right" - part deux

    Part one: http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=76936&highlight=Buick+Regal hood: trunk: I started out conservative, PC with white polishing pad & Optimum polish. Switched to Optimum compound, then orange and finally yellow pad. Tough, slow going without much improvement - need...

    Klasse SG thin as water - is this right?

    Just recently got the twins - AIO is viscous like polish, but the SG is thin as water - is this right? Asking even though I've shook it like no tomorrow. I ask because I've never used it before and I also got some OP that was totally separated and was a bear to get mixed back to the right...

    Keeping the product out of the pad

    I want to use my PC to apply the Klasse twins because based on my experiances with other products, I feel you get a better, more glass like finish then doing it by hand. But the Klasse instructions say to apply very thin - 1 oz. should be enough for the avg sized vehicle. Now I could see the...

    And the Autopians nearly got me commited!

    I'd been leasing vehicles for several years (3-3yr lease deals) and then bought a 'new' one and caught the new car fever back in June and it hasn't broken. I found my way here for therapy because misery loves company. The electric B&D leaf blower hangs in the end of the garage always at the...

    Klasse twins on my 'plastic' car

    I've order the Klasse twins for my new Rendezvous for winter. Like the bumpers, half of the body (lower) sides are a plastic or a vinyl material (same color as the rest). Typically I'd think that this material shouldn't be polished, but I'm thinking that AIO is more like a chemical cleaner...

    "I love the gal, but that's not right!"

    ADVICE NEEDED: Wife used her car as a shelf to stack boxes for recycling. Marring on the hood and trunk lid. I have a pc and have on order a selection of (I think) all LC pads, OC and OP. But what would you use to polish this to ? Feedback appreciated.

    OHC with a PC?

    I was ordering pads and polish - optimum poliish and compound. Was going to order the hyper compound but it said it was only recommended for use with a rotary. Is that right? Anybody used OHC with a pc ?

    Rug Shampoo

    Just detailed my Mother-in-laws car (see click 'n brag), but wasn't happy with the badly soiled drivers side carpet mat. I used blue coral, scrubbed and rinsed twice, then tried some Stanley Steamer spot cleaner. The mat was cleaner, but not a good as I'd hoped. What do you use for badly...

    Mother-in-Laws 1997 Ford Escort

    Warning: A novice detail, not to be compared with the exceptional details represented here - but, hey, you gotta begin somewhere. After seeing my new Rondy and some work I'd done on my wife's car, my wife's mother started hinting/joking as towhen I'd be available to work on her car. She said...

    Detailing Tool

    A few years ago we bought a Black & Decker electric pressure washer (but that's not the story). A promotion with the pressure washer was a coupon to send away for a free Black & Decker Scumbuster. It pretty much sat untouched in the basement for two or more years. Then I got this new...

    Advice wanted

    I have a relatively new Frost White Buick Rendezvous. I've washed, clayed and used Meguiars NXT Tech wax on it (Applied with a PC). As most here know, white is tough to shine. It's real clean and has a sheen, but not really wet. I'm thinking of using Klasse AIO followed by Klasse SG. Then I...
