Here`s some of my favorite applicators due to specific functionality. So first up, a product that isn`t a wax applicator at all. Rather, it`s a beauty supply item. These foam wedges are inexpensive and great at cutting in sharp corners or for use on narrow passages. I also use them (a lot) for...

I know the new Lake Country foam pads have just been redesigned to be thinner and those are always a good option. As far as polishes go I would recommend the Menzerna product line. For a two step combo Menzerna 400 and Menzerna 3500 are great. They are user friendly that leave a good...

McKee`s, and now Sovereign (very recently), have Jeweling Waxes available to us. Mike Phillips has said he likes the McKee`s and uses it on his truck. As I jewel paint with Menzerna 3800 or Poorboys Professional using a black or blue pad, I think to myself that just about any extremely mild...

So I figured it was time to have some fun with a portion of my wax collection. So once again, I tried an OEM mash-up with Extra Carnauba, and this time I added.... Sealants (gasp!). I`m glad to report that it worked! So on to the fun! The paste waxes (more-or-less equal parts): PS1S Natty’s...

A few days back, BudgetPlan1 started a thread about Griots BOSS Correcting Cream (GBCC). I chimed in because I had just recently used GBCC, but with the unconventional combo of a Rupes UHS pad (there`s only one "strength"/color) and a GG6, as opposed to the designed use of UHS Pads with UHS...

How about Optimum Car Wax? I got a sample and it looks good on paint. What about Reload or Cure as an LSP without a coating underneath? I get decent longevity from Polish Angel Presto, but it`s expensive.

It sure ain`t fixing spots, at least not here in Florida, where they get baked on. Does Spotless have any other uses, like maybe polish remover? Otherwise this bottle is useless to me. The only time it got rid of spots was when I made a runny mixture of Spotless and 205, but I`m sure the 205...

Clay is a good example of something I buy often, but I change brands often as well. Same with waterless wash - buying what`s on sale. I`m always buying wax and QD because I`m an addict. But brand specific items... for me: Poorboys Spray & Wipe (it just works. I get anxious when I run low!)...

Hello all, I want to trade for one (or more) of these Waterless Wash products. BLACKFIRE Waterless Wash Concentrate McKee`s 37 Waterless Wash On The Go Concentrate Griots Garage Waterless Spray-On Car Wash Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash Duragloss Aquawax Waterless Wash N Wax I have...

More often than not, when I wash my garage-kept cars, I use a combination of Rinseless Washing (RW) and Waterless Washing (WW) techniques, in the relative comfort and privacy of the garage, so I call it a “garage wash”. Those that have embraced hose-less techniques do it for many different...

Motivation The point of this test is to convince myself, using waxes I might use, on real-world surfaces exposed to elements, that a second coat of wax, applied after adequate curing time, IS or ISN’T worthwhile. Admittedly, there’s just WAY too many variables in this test for it to have...

The last wax test I did featuring Collinite 915 was a bit of a disappointment, having the waxes drop off drastically after a huge bout with pollen. I`m going to give it another go, this time comparing 915 to it`s sister wax, 476S " Super Double Coat Auto Wax".. "The Permanent Auto Wax" (he he...

Hello all. I don`t like calling these wax tests of mine "this vs that" because it`s not a competition. It`s just two LSP`s, side by side, in the same general area. But.. it`s fun to compare :cool: So the victim this time is the hood of my girlfriend`s VW not-so-new New Beatle (2008). The LSP`s...

PB PWS? I really *want* to like this product. I love Professional Polish, but I`m thinking it`s not a Professional Polish derivative? Maybe SSR-1? I`ve bought this two times. Once about 3 years ago, and it marred my Porsche paint. Tried it again this year on my Nissan and same thing. Odd...

I have: 1) Meguiar`s Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax, 16 ounce sample 2) 3D Towel Kleen, 16 ounce sample 3) Menzerna 2500 polish, 4-ounce or 8-ounce sample 4) Poorboy`s Bird S#it Remover, 4-ounce sample 5) Menzerna Endless Shine Detailer, new/full 6) New US Plastics Griot`s-style spray...

I have a few hours before the GF gets back. Let`s refresh the hood on the Z. Hmmmmmm... Ahhhh, this strange beast will be fun. Look at the bizarre texture (admittedly, it was hot outside). This is one of those "apply it so thin you can barely see it" waxes. Also one of those "no waiting and...

April Fool`s !!!!!!!!!! :autopia:

Cutting in is very time consuming. Personally, I just can`t achieve proper results with a 5" pad polishing up those last few inches butting up against seams and trim. Often, I find myself cutting in with a 4" foam pad, which works ok, but this is better: Lake Country HDO Heavy Cutting Fiber Pad...

Thanks for your awesome obsessive-compulsive advice and wit, Accumulator! You should celebrate by POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR CARS! :autopia:
