    Just got a few new large drying MF's from neatitems.com... Never realized you're supposed to wet them, wring them, then dry with them... Is this the best way to use them? Can they be used dry, or is this not advisable for some reason? :nixweiss thanks

    What would YOU have done?

    I ask this question now, partly for future reference, and partly just for my knowledge... Many months ago I owned a VW corrado, that I was in the process of trying to sell. One RAINY day I had to drive the car to the train station, and leave it there for the day. It was very rainy and windy...

    HELP, what did I do wrong?

    OK, I was finally able to wash my newly purchased 98 BMW M3 recently (due to the lifting of drought restrictions in my area). I'm not a newbie to washing and detailing really, and have always been particularly careful, or so I thought. I ended up with some long, light scratches in the...

    removing water spots

    How do you do it? Clay bar, SMR? Can it be done by hand, or would a PC be more effective? I attempted with a cleaner wax (zymol) and was unable to get them out completely! :( :nixweiss Thanks

    QD questions...

    Long before finding this board, I had purchased some "Speed Shine" from Griot's garage. Prior to purchasing it sounded like such a great thing to have. I'm presuming this is their version of QD. I find it to be such a pain to put on, that I never use the stuff anymore. Are all QD's put on...

    Klasse AIO and SG

    Are these products easier to apply and buff than your typical Carnuba wax? Is my Zymol Carbon a waste now, or can I apply it over my final coat of SG? Is there any drawback to this, if it can be done?

    clay bars?

    How difficult is this for someone who has never done it? What is the technique? Also, once you've passed it over, and the finish feels smooth, is that it? Or do you then need to remove residue left over? :confused: thx

    HELP...Too many products, rookie here...

    OK, I have to say I'm a little intimidated by everything I've been reading here thus far. There's so much out there, and everyone seems to have VERY strong opinions on what is best and what methods work best.... A little background... 1998 BMW M3, Cosmos Black. Recently took ownership, car...
