    Dawn and 50/50 Alcohol

    So, if Dawn removes all waxes and fillers, is it a substitute for the 50/50 alcohol treatment or do they do different things?

    Is it shampoo then water or water then shampoo?

    I used to pour the shampoo first then water. I would get lots of suds, but then it was hard to determine how much water I had really added in the bucket. Then I began to fill up the bucket with water then add shampoo. Much less suds, I miss the suds.

    GW and Carnuba

    I have use AIO+SG+S100 and the car looks great. But as you know the carnuba look fades away and we have to re-wax. Is GW the only sealer that can go on top of carnuba to lock in that look? 1Z MP contains carnuba and GW goes on top of that. Are there any other products that work this way?

    Is there a difference between a water blade & a squeege?

    Other than the plastic housing/holder. Asked differently, can one use a squeege on their car or is there something special about the water blade?

    Acura Wax = P21S?

    I was in an Acura dealership today and saw a jar that looks like P21S/S100. I asked to take a look at it and opened it. I own a jar of the S100. As I opened it, I say the familiar grey round pad that S100 has which I believe P21S has. It smelled a little different then the S100 (a little...

    Paging Bill D, Steam Buggy King

    Bill, I was rooting around in my attic the other day and came across a box and found a Steam Buggy. Apparently my Mom gave it to me a few Christmas(s) (what is the plural of Christmas?) ago and I forgot I had it. Anyway, a search later and it seems you are the only one on the board who...

    Clay and Lubricant

    A lubricant is something that is "between" two surfaces to reduce friction or heat. So the clay never is suppose to touch the paint. Then how can clay harm your paint or why should we limit the amount of times we clay the car?

    How long should it take to clay?

    I recently read a post stating that it does not take that long. My experience is that it takes me about 1.5 hours on a four door sedan. How does that measure up with the rest of you? I thought that was about normal since I am basically cleaning the entire car 1.5" at a time over and over.

    Need product use clarification

    I recently did a '98 Black MB that had a lot of swirls and scratches caused by toweling over a 5 year period. I was not able to get them all out using a 7336/EPP (yellow can)/cutting pad. The advise I got (thread disappeared) was that I could be very agressive with that combo and work the...

    Convertible Back Plastic Windshield

    I used AIO on the subject matter and found that it made a noticeable difference. I used a polishing pad and my ROB set at 5. I just bought some #10 and #17 and hope to make a comparison in the future. DavidB once suggested using a 3" pad. I am not familiar with that. Does anybody have...

    Do 1Z produects have fillers?

    I was wondering if you 1Z users could help me out with this thread. If 1Z products don't have fillers will AIO remove the swirl removing work that the products have done?

    AIO+SG for good paint only?

    Am I thinking about this right? If you have swirls you really can't use the twins because the AIO will remove the swirl remover? And you have to follow the SMR with AIO in order to get SG to stick. So if you have good paint AIO+SG is a good combo, otherwise you have to go AIO+SMR+a topper...

    Megs D-6200 Clay

    I wonder if I am doing something wrong? I was expecting the subject matter to take out contaminents that Megs's regular clay (A grey clay) or Mother's or Erazer clay could not. I find that does not seem to be the case. I use all three clays with a mix of Megs GC shampoo and water. I find...
