Hi, everyone.
I did my first full get-ready-for-winter detail this weekend, making use of many of the tips I've gathered while lurking here. :up Among other things, I used YoSteve's Klasse sample kit, so I've got two coats of SG on my car and hope to put another 1-2 on next weekend (having ordered the 16 oz. bottles from Tacscar.)
I used the two-towel method (one damp, one dry) to remove the SG. Before I started however, I did attack a spot with just the dry towel, because I was curious about how difficult it really was. Naturally, I discovered that it was way too difficult.
So I immediately began using the damp towel first. I began to wonder, however, whether anyone has raised the concern that maybe the reason wetting the SG makes removal easier is that the water dissolves SG, and that it might even dissolve some of the layer that's bonded to the paint. I wondered whether I might simply be removing the SG entirely, not just buffing it off. Of course, I'm not saying I didn't see results; I definitely did--my car is now so shiny I could shave in the reflection. I just wondered whether I might be undoing some of my work by using water. Has anyone else ever thought about this? Can anyone state with certainty that it is not a problem?
