    sealant, glaze, wax..makes sense right?

    If youre going to use a glaze and you still want durability, this order makes sense right? I just dont see the point in putting a glaze under a sealant due to bonding,and i feel like glaze then wax only would affect wax durability too.

    post detail final spray recommendations

    The only product in this category ive used is valugard fast finish, which is fantastic...except i dont like that it separates after 6 to 8 months, which is a problem for me if i were to buy bulk. Anyone have any other choices? It needs to be streak free, good on plastic, paint, rubber, etc...

    megs apc plus as paint degreaser/pre treat in foam gun?

    I'll rephrase my original question. Does anyone prespray (from a spray bottle) an APC or similar product (PB bug squash, P21S total auto wash, etc...) onto paint before doing an ONR wash or even a regular wash? If so, what product, dilution, and how long are you letting it sit?   Thanks...

    Opti-Seal over top of ONRW+W?

    Is this going to work? I'd hope theyre designed for use but have always thought sealants dont ever go over wax.

    Product sales business, advice needed...

    At the suggestion of David F, and the hopes that I can become a forum sponsor shortly, I wanted to seek advice on the business that I am starting up.   I am going to be selling detailing products in sample sizes. You choose what you want and can try it for a fraction of the cost of buying a...

    rotary one step?

    Im interested to hear techniques for doing this for time savings and very light correction. Im thinking HD speed or OPS on a white pad (or even one of these thin wool pads) would be a great combo for this. This would cater to your normal one step people but you could cut a lot of time off...

    rinseless is now OTC

    Saw a bottle of turtle wax rinseless at walmart yesterday. Was 2oz/gal dilution, 2gal/wash recommended, and i believe about $6.50/32oz so 8 washes per bottle. The direction method was quite like a single bucket wash if i read correctly. I wont be trying it but i did find it interesting

    Applied Collinite 476 with Meg's 3" unigrit hand pad

    I just picked these two items up and they arrived yesterday with some more stuff I'll discuss some other time. While they're not specifically related, I did end up using them together (with a red griot's 3" pad) to wax the motorcycle tank and fender last night, because I just had to use one of...

    IPA + ONR mix like Eraser?

    I think I've seen this discussed somewhere before but cant find that. Anyone mix up an IPA solution and ONR or an APC to simulate the dual duties of Eraser?

    Ultima Tire and Trim Guard

    I've seen Accumulator mention he prefers this over something like 303 aerospace or 1Z trim protectant (both of which I have). What's the reasonging and would I just be overlapping by buying the Ultima?

    IronX soap in foam cannon?

    Ive got the Valugard abc kit and I think it's a great product. For me though it's too time consuming to use as much as I would like to. I thought that since many claim a pre-foaming is not very worthwhile (and I agree somewhat unless the car is really dirty) that adding ironx soap would give...

    ONR wash at work on lunch break

    I was thinking about an ONR-WW at lunch which would only take 30 minutes on my truck. Anyone doing this weekly or bi-weekly? I figure I could just mix my gallon and put the top on the bucket to carry with me to work since it's dark when I get home now. Would probably get some strange looks, but...

    Trying another product instead of sticking with tried and true

    I generally stick with two lsps, menzerna power lock, due to such great durability I've had with it on garaged vehicles (8 months plus), and collinite 845. I also use a bit of kaio under these. ive sort of wanted to try some other products fk1000, dg105, and another sealant, but im really not...

    product for rust prevention on outdoor covered motorcycle?

    Looking for a spray on product that will slow rust on a bike kept outdoors but under a bike cover. Looking to spray on bolts, frame (powdercoat), suspension, etc. I thought I knew of one but have been out of detailing for 4 months or so and have a short memory span.

    Optimum Poli-Seal vs. 3D Speed (all-in-one comparison)

    I've always like the idea of an all in one (mild polishing abrasives w/ LSP protection), especially for single stage paints, and I started using OPS (optimum poli-seal) earlier this year. I just picked up some 3D speed to test against and here is what I found: Decided to try out my new Flex...
