    Werkstatt Quick Wash? and Other Rinseless Wash/QD's?

    Werkstatt's products all seem to be top notch. I've tried Prime Strong, Acrylic Jett and Carnauba Jett and they have all exceeded expectations. My only complaint is that the quantities seem to be on the small side for a frequent detailer. But I guess that's how it goes with imported products...

    Quick Detailing: ONR vs. Poorboys Spray and Wipe?

    I'm 100% sold on ONR for washing but I'm in the habit of using a cleaning quick detailer after a wash. So far that' been FK 146 and I have no complaints. Its a perfect compliment to ONR in my opinion bringing the extra bonus of anti-static barrier, really great to see after a rainfall. Dirt just...

    Chemical Guys Elite towels?

    I can't tell from the photos but how are the CG's MF towels? I only have towels with silk binding (Poorboys Mega & Detail City make) how do these compare? the 12 towels for $32 sounds like a good deal (these aren't made in China are they?) http://www.chemicalguys.com/product_p/mic_501_12.htm

    Which Prime to use?

    My Klasse All in One is on its last legs (forgot when I even bought it was so long ago). Have to say its the #1 detailing product I've ever used but they changed formula and I'm going to give Werkstatt a shot since I was so impressed with Acrylic Jett Trigger vs. Klasse Sealant Glaze. There...

    have a few chips on hood :mad: Its silver so matching is tough. The factory paint pen is not even a close match all even though I have them the VIN#. Have you used a repair kit that works well?

    FK1 Decontamination kit

    has anyone tried FK1 decontamination kit? I was planning a swirl removal/clay session in a week or two and I'm thinking of adding the decon. kit with my next order of 1000P and more 146. The marketing info says that with the kit you won't need to clay, which sound like nonsense to me. But the...

    Where do you buy your Michelin Tire dressing?

    Almost out :eek: Can't find it at Strauss, Pepboys or Autozone. Not sure each of those carried it. Where are you getting yours? p.s. that stuff is great. Cheap and deep dark non-greasy matte look.

    Prime, Optimum or Menzerna?

    Been wanting to try Optimum and Menzerma's polishes for quite some time. Carlack/Werkstatt seems to have a very wide range of polishes that's also appealing. thoughts from the experienced polishers? I've been a long time Klasse All in One user and I think its time for an experiment for a new...

    How can I tell when my sealant is fading?

    with so much maintenance and spray waxing my car is always shiny, beading and all around show car condition. However its been well over three months since I did the Klasse AIO and EXP treatment and my car is always parked outside. Should I strip everything on the basis of time alone? Is...

    Brushing out Microfiber Towel

    I gave up on MF at one point. A new MF towel is detailers best friend. But once that towel gets used often keeping it clean is not such a picnic. Those prickly ends are great at lifting dirt and debris but its equally stubborn in letting ALL OF IT go. I gave up and went the waffle weave towel...

    Got my AquaWax..Interesting if you use FK

    Ordered the small bottle online and it arrived two days later. After a quick No Rinse wash with my pesticide sprayer I uncorked the Aqua Wax on my Arctic Silver paint. :xyxthumbs This stuff is REALLY GOOD. As soon as I buffed it away the paint looked thicker. THe Gloss was the best I've...

    ok getting tired of driving around looking for a gas station with a vacum (which always end up eating my money). Is anyone having any recent success with a portable vac? I stopped by the local Oreck dealer and he wouldn't even try to sell his version of the car vac. My red carpets are...
