Like most of us here, I’ve been there, done it, wanted it, bought it, tried it, wash rinse, and repeat. I’ve spent more money than I will ever publicly admit on products/supplies. I’ve used different products from different manufacturers, chasing perfection. That being said I’ve reached...

I’ve read there’s “blenders” that make stuff and yet loads of companies say they make their own stuff. is there a list somewhere? Rupes is in house. Optimum too. 3D is another.

Obviously there’s a bias in this sub forum to optimum products. (I use and love ONR) and finally after years and thousands of dollars (always trying different products and chemicals) I thought I’d arrived at the “best for me” “system”. that “system” is the traditional decon, iron remove...

So I’ve used panel wipes in the past. Eraser simply cause I like the smell of it. I guess it works but I noticed it can also be used as a glass cleaner. now I’ve always cleaned my eye glasses, iPhones, iPad with plain old drug store alcohol. Easy peasy, cheap yet not sleazy. It’s worked...

What’s the balance of obsessed, and practical? wash once a week? What if it rains? Do you wash on rain day to keep a schedule, or do you wait? How long do you wait? It’s always gonna rain so the extreme is to never wash. my interiors get steamed once a year and dressed with 303. Other than...

To put this post in context: -getting older and body likes “easier”. Plus time is more valuable. - not a pro, cars are daily drivers. Don’t need perfect. My mantra is now……. - clean shiny paint/scratches, clean tires, clear glass. I still do a twice a year decon, iron remover, clay, polish...

I’m getting older. Ive enjoyed detailing in the past. I’ve tried many products over the years, and spend god knows how much. I’ve taken pride in vehicles that appear “brand new” all the time. Flawless. you know the routine: pres pray, wash, chemical decon, claybar, compound, polish...

So currently I have a 20,year old toro blower. Corded. It works. I blow off most of the water, and then finish drying with towels and beadmaker/megs spray wax. ‘’it works, but I use the blower for paint only. It’s cumbersome and heavy. I thought about a cordless blower but same issues. Hold...

So Ivan from optimum says be careful when layering. Wax will take off wax, sealer takes off sealer. Wax can go over sealer…..sometimes. jescar power lock can layer on itself after 3 hours. Collinite can on top after 3 hours. collinite can be topped with itself after 12 hours. meguiars 21...

Let me explain: ive always used klasse AIO and,sealant glaze. Way back when I used Meg 21. I recently used jescar powerlock+. It is hands down the,easiest product to remove I’ve,tried,to,date. Klasse sealant is harder,to remove. I’ll likely never use it, but throwing 32 oz of it away goes...

So,I have this idea of a small piece of dowel to insert into the backing plate of my Bigfoot 15. Slide the pad down, and viola easy quick centering. Just gotta get the diameter. Or look silly with a pad in HD

So going through some of my,old stash I stumbled upon ol faithful meguiars 21 sealant. I also have some collinite 845 and I’d like to top the meguiars with it. Do I need to wait 3 hours like you do when 845 tops power lock? nothing on the bottle of 21 suggests a wait or cure time other than...

So I got me a nice “can’t do anything cause of super deadly contagious covid” present. Bigfoot 15. Whoo how! anyhow I was glowing through my “collection” of machinery and products of all things detailing. I’ve decided that when it takes you longer to go through all the stuff than it does to...

Hi guys. I’m new here. Here’s the deal, my vehicles aren’t high end, and they are daily drivers. But they always look nice, and clean. Vehicles are purchased new, and washed “properly” as best I can. Interiors are thoroughly cleaned once a year, and as needed. Engines are given a bath with...
