Today as I was washing the car I was hosing the wheels wells to remove loose dirt. Well, on one of the wheel wells the black paint was rinsing right off and I could see the color of the body behind it. Not all of the paint came off, but a good portion did. Now, I'm not the type who takes my...

Has anyone seen those cotton applicators that you can buy from the drug store that are usually used for makeup or applying facial medicine? They come with maybe 200 or 300 applicators per package and they're made of cotton? Maybe there's a use for them. They're small, they're disposable...

Neither were PC. One was a Ryobi, and it was probably a 10" (huge pad!). The other was actually a Turtle Wax brand orbital. I did some searching through here and I can't seem to grasp anyone's conclusion on these brands. As a matter of fact, has anyone used one of these two? I actually...

It seems like everytime I go out I have to pick up some new supplies. ARrrrghh, I'm gonna run out of money if I don't stop. :wall Anyway, I stopped by Autozone and picked two things: (1) EO 20/20 glass spray. That had gotten raves on this forum and I decided to try it out. (2) TurtleWax...

http://www.armorall.com/prodcat/pages/carwashWipes_1.10.html You gotta be kidding me. Carwash wipes? What's next, wax and polish wipes? Trim detail wipes? How about wiping those someplace else? :rofl

Please don't kill me. But a month before I found these forums, I used Armor All original formula on my dash.........:o .......uhhh, just let it all out, i can handle it......come on, i've taken a verbal beating before.......almost done?....no?........ok, you made your point. :D At any rate...

...and you needed to park your car. One of the spaces was all shaded by an oak tree. The other space was all open under the hot sun. Which would you choose? ...and if a tree fell in the forrest when no one was around...would it make a sou---nevermind, I'll stop there. btw, i did a...

I'm getting anxious to move up to a combo process (sealant + carnuba). However, I have read how, once you apply AIO, then you apply SG on top. Well....can I substitute #7 for SG? Then top it with Meg #26? And I've found out that this product contains cleaners in it. How effective is the...

I've done searches in this forum on wash mitts, and it seems like I can't trust any of them. For instance, I got the Eurow kind from Wal-Mart: genuine sheepskin, and with light pressure on a CD it was ok, but under moderate pressure it marred my CD. And I haven't used the darn thing yet! I'm...

On my clearcoat surface of the RL, I'm thinking of skipping the abrasiveness of Deep Crystal Cleaner and using ScratchX instead. I've got some swirls that are only visible upon close inspection (I have a light colored car--silver). No PC, only by hand, and I am NOT :nono using a terry...

I have a 97 RL, and this is the type of wheel on my car: This can be a real pain to clean. I used to use soap and a tooth brush to clean the small pockets all around the rim. Any product suggestions? Meg's Hot rims? Any other wheel cleaners? I'm looking for a way to save time on...

Sorry gang, I don't have pics right away as I have a regular film camera, but I should have them up once the film gets developed At any rate, I just completed a major detail on my sister's red 2001 prelude. Very noticeable difference. I washed, clayed, washed, pre-wax cleaned, glazed with...

Before I ask my questions, I think I'd preface this post with what I've done so far. I've washed the car (red prelude) with mother's soap (1 hour time). After that, I began the claying process (3 hours :shocked ). I lost count of how many smokey black spots were on the paint, but with some QD...

I have 100% cotton terry towels. I washed one recently. Fully rinsed it. Dried it out on in the sun for 2 hours. Took it, ran it across a cd, and scratches popped up. :doh Even the towel that i didn't wash was scratching the CD. The MFs OTOH were fine. I washed one similar to the...

I'm not a fan of wasting my precious QD spray for claying the car. So I've come up with an idea: i've got some of that cheapy 99 cent car wash soap from wal-mart. Mix 1 part soap with, say 4 parts water. Put in a spray bottle. And use that as lubricant. Then when you're done claying the...

I noticed today as I was taking the tags off these towels that the corners seemed kind of rough. Then I discovered that the manufacturer used some "seal" or bonding agent to help "weld" the seems at the corner of the towels. This no doubt will scratch the finish. :nono So I got a scissor...

Theoretically, how many times can you use, say, a pre-wax cleaner like Meguiar's Deep Crystal Cleaner before the paint is stripped away? You guys know what I'm getting to here....is too much of this detailing routine gonna produce unfortunate results in the long run? I know it seems like a...

Hey gang help me out here. I will be detailing my sister's red prelude this weekend (no clearcoat). Here's what I bought from Discount Auto: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner (Step 1) Meguiar's #7 show car glaze Meguiar's #26 Hi tech yellow wax Meguiar's Natural Shine Rubber and...

I bought the "Detailer's Choice" wash mit from wal-mart a month or two ago. It's the one that looks like a boxing glove. Has anyone used that? Good or bad?
