    Thinning liquid wax for spray use?

    Ive got a can of 1z glanz that I hardly use. I think I would use it though if it were sprayable to refresh after washes. What can I thin it with to get that consistency and not damage the wax or paint?

    easy-off polish before opti-coat recommendations?

    Could you discuss your favorite polish to use before opti-coat? I don't think I want to use my Menzernas or M205 due to more difficult removal. I'd like to try Optimum spray polish for other reasons, and am thinking that using it would serve my curiosity as well as provide an...

    Vacuum before extraction?

    I've got an HP60 and I always vacuum before extracting. Am I wasting a step here? I just feel like I should remove as much solid as possible to keep my Mytee in top shape (even with the sock filter).

    The Spelling and Grammar on your website, this applies to you.

    I'm pretty new here and I don't run a business but for those of you who do, proofread your sites. I've been to probably a dozen or more sites I see in your signatures. I like to see what you offer and the prices. I would say 80% of them have obvious grammar or spelling mistakes in very visible...

    Brush attachment to Griot's 3" DA for leather cleaning

    I just wanted to say that I tried this combo out last week (after seeing it on a write-up somewhere) for cleaning some light tan protected leather and loved it. The leather was fairly grimey and noticeably darker in many areas. I used Griot's interior cleaner (claims leather safe), sprayed the...

    Lake Country PFW pad on Flex 3401

    I gave this combo a shot yesterday with menzerna Power Gloss and quickly switched over to an LC orange pad with the same compound. It seemed like the PFW possibly didn't like the DAT. It also could have been the SS paint I was working on being super oxidized and clogging the pad with paint...

    Anyone want to go in and split 5 gallons of Valugard ProGuard with me?

    This stuff will neutralize magnesium chloride, the white "salt lines" they are now spraying on the roads. You would want to mix the wash with water (at some ratio) and put into a garden type sprayer, then spray the undercarriage/paint, let dwell for a few minutes and wash off. Should get rid...
