    revisiting techniques

    I'd like to revisit a few of my techniques here, so that some of you may offer some alternatives/ideas/etc. My car is too low to hit my wells with a good brush. I've been spraying them down with armor all tire dressing with semi decent results. On my wheels I've been using the meguiars...

    Non shedding sheepskin

    I very happily switched to Eurow Sheepskins this summer, with high expectations that were met. One of my mitts started shedding today, which was a real PITA. Hairs everywhere! Is this the end of the Sheepskin era for me? I'm contemplating trying something else now. Do other companies make...

    zaino temperature usage

    So a fellow Autogeek member sent me sample of Z2pro to try out. I was reading the Zaino website and it seems to say that Zaino works at 45 degrees and above. Has anyone used it in colder conditions? Im excited to try it to see if the buzz is worthy, but it looks like we're in the 30s for the...

    For those of you scared to try ONR

    or those of you still having doubts.... 10 days ago, we received 15 inches of snow. In the Northwest, we don't play with salt. We give the snow a few days and then throw a bunch of dirt and gravel on it. Exhibit A: My car playing in the snow Exhibit B: More fun I've had the...

    Aw + Ocw?

    Just curious if anyone has mixed AW with OCW? Maybe a %75 AW + %25 OCW mix to offset costs? Will the carnuba of the OCW affect the sealant?

    Steel Grey WRX

    This is my second full exterior detail. A little history on me. I'd say in January I started researching propper washing techniques. By the summer I had registered on this site and that's when the wallet got a lot lighter. This is the second vehicle I've used the PC on. Still learning the...

    time

    Where are you more experienced detailers saving time in your process? It took 2.5-3 hours to ONR, Clay (hood, trunk, roof), door jams, trunk,under the hood, and Poli-Seal everything but the doors and front bumper. Am I on target?

    OCW question before purchase...

    Does OCW offer a true comparison to paste carnubas? I have a bottle and a half of aquawax and told myself that I was going to try OCW (and AJT) once I'm out of AW. For the time being I was going to purchase some Natty's Blue to top my Poli-Seal and then top that with AW. If OCW can offer...

    Trim? when?

    At what point in your detailing process are you guys attacking your trim? My issue is that I like to attack the trim after polishing and waxing. I've been cleaning the trim during the original wash with ONR but after waxing the paint I have been using AIO on the trim to remove excess wax etc...

    ONR, sheepskin vs MF

    Hello, I am on the verge of making a MF purchase from Pakshak to better my ONR washes. I emailed Pakshak asking which MF they suggested for ONR and they replied that Sheepskin is preferred. The board seems divided on which application method works best. I have a Eurow Sheepskin mitt...
