    Sealant Reapplication

    If I use a sealant such as FMJ, and only use QD's after each weekly wash, will I need to strip everything if I want to reapply FMJ in about a month after the first application? Or can I just reapply another FMJ coat after a routine wash? I want to make sure the second application is bonding...

    Pad questions

    I have purchased several new pads and have some questions for those with experience using them. 1. I have not used the Purple Foam Wool Pads yet, but will be trying them out with PC (4 inch LC pads) and Flex (6.5 inch LC pads) and Menzerna Power Gloss for some deeper scratches than I could...

    7424 vs. 7424XP

    Can anyone offer their thoughts on whether the performance difference between the 7424 and 7424 XP is worth the upgrade? I can sell the 7424 with a net difference of $50 to pay for the XP. Thanks

    Sand in washing machine

    I just took a load of MF towels out of the washing machine and noticed something gritty on some of the towels. Upon closer inspection, I see some sand in the machine, so of course I am sure there is sand in the towels. Are these toast? Just chuck them? A way to clean them out? Are they...

    Broken 7424

    Any idea as to why this would happen? Only a few months old, used about 6 times. Today was applying sealant at speed 3, and fell apart in my hand. Looks like bolt snapped.

    Removing sealant & wax w/CGW&G

    Does anyone know if the concentrated mixture 2oz/gal of CGW&G will remove any remaining sealant (applied 2-3 months ago) along with the layer of wax? I do want to remove the sealant, and hope I can do it with this method. Thanks Rick

    After FMJ?

    Today I spent 10 hours Clay, wash, IP, FPII, FMJ; tomorrow I was going to do Natty Blue (2003 Black Mercedes). I also use FK425, UQD, or OID with each wash. The slick shine resulting from today's work, with the FMJ was incredible. It is so good, and I am so tired (I am not a...

    Natty's blue vs P21S

    I have a container of Natty's blue that I layer 3 times, every 6 weeks or so. I have quite a bit left, I was thinking of trying some P21S 100% since I have read good things about it. I have a black metallic finish. Is there a noticeable difference between the Natty's blue and P21S that would...

    Detailing the shiny bumpers

    I have done a search, but have not seen a discussion on my question. My vehicle has shiny, same color, plastic bumpers (black). I usually throw a coat of wax on them. I am going to glaze, apply EX-P, and maybe a wax. I will use PC 7424, blue pad on EX-P, black on DWG. Should I apply the same...

    Gilmour Foam gun and Citrus W&G

    I do feel a bit like a dunce, and need some assistance. I have read many threads on foam guns, shampoos etc. but am still a bit confused. I just purchased the Gilmour Foamaster II, and Chemical Guy CW&G. I realize (after purchase) that CW&G will strip existing protection in higher...

    Seatbelt strap soiled

    Hi, I have been able to clean pretty much everything on the interior of a 2003 Mercedes with the exception of the seat belts. They appear discolored, perhaps from the oily hands of passengers putting them on (?). Anyway I have tried APC's and scrubbing galore. Does anyone have any suggestions...
