Your first post makes me think of this article I wrote about 5-6 years ago and have been sharing ever since then...


A tip to help yourself get great answers when you start a thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/tips-techniques-how-articles-interacting-discussion-forums/29344-tip-help-yourself-get-great-answers-when-you-start-thread.html)



I'll post a follow-up post where I'll use the "quote" feature in vBulletin to dissect your questions and do my best to answer them and I'm sure others will chime in also...

I'm guessing that when you use the word, doubts that I can substitute the word questions?

:welcome: To Autogeek! A great place to ask questions and clear up those doubts :props:



1-DAYTONA OR EZ BRUSH.Are basicly, similars, or there are one of them better than other.

I like the Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush and have it in both sizes.



2- It´s enough glass science glass scrub auto glass stripper, and then the rain repellent of glass science, or it´s necesary first a glass polish .
I see in other euopean detailing store the car lack pack to restore and make repellent glass.

Using the two glass science products that I´ve mentioned is enough, or Better with first a glass polish.Who polish I must use, mothers, duragloss...?
Where I could buy the carlack , if you think there are better products than glass science.on

I use Meguiar's Glass Cleaner. I buy it by the gallon and when properly diluted t makes 11 or 12 gallons. Using it with a Microfiber glass towel will clean with a streak-free shine.




3- There is a good election meguiars polish 105 and 205 to use by hand in a car that it have never been polished in 6 years, since I bought and it has swirls and scratchs, some of them important.

OK, this is a statement, what is your question?

Are you asking if Meguiar's M105 and M205 goos products to begin with? If this is your question then yes, they're a great pair to have when tackling paint correction.



4-For the wheel, which product I have to use to clean dirt incrusted some time ago.I ñve heard good references of mothers clean wheels.

I like Meguiar's Wheel Brightener and Amazing Roll-Off.

5-There is a good product the duragloss bug remove to finish with the BUGS INCRUSTED.How to used it?

Is it doubts you have or questions regarding which product to use and is the most effective?

1-DAYTONA OR EZ BRUSH. Are basically, similars, or there are one of them better than other.



Same great design, one is marketed into the Motorcycle world and the other into the Automotive world, you can't go wrong with either choice.




2- It´s enough glass science glass scrub auto glass stripper, and then the rain repellent of glass science, or it´s necessary first a glass polish .


The Glass Science Glass Scrub Auto Glass Stripper (http://www.autogeek.net/glass-scrub-stripper.html)is a type of "Glass Polish", so you shouldn't need a second product to clean the glass, just start with this.




3- There is a good election Meguiar's polish 105 and 205 to use by hand in a car that it have never been polished in 6 years, since I bought and it has swirls and scratches, some of them important.


The M105 or even the Ultimate Compound work very good at removing swirls and scratches by hand. It's a lot of work to buff out a car by hand when you're removing swirls but using one of these two product is the way to go, they are aggressive enough to get the job done but finish out without leaving more scratches, dulling or haziness in the clear coat finish. Get LOTS of extra applicator pads so you have plenty to work your way around the car.

See this article,

Man versus Machine (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/faq/20257-man-versus-machine.html)







4-For the wheel, which product I have to use to clean dirt encrusted some time ago.I ñve heard good references of mothers clean wheels.


If you have years of brake dust and road grime build up then you want to use both a wheel cleaner AND a good brush. What kind of wheels are you working on?

Painted?
Chrome
Polished Aluminum?
Coated Aluminum?
Something else?





5-There is a good product the Duragloss bug remove to finish with the BUGS ENCRUSTED.How to used it?


Duragloss Bug Remover (http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss-bug-remover.html)

Duragloss Bug Remover dissolves and removes bugs, oil and tar with ease. Duragloss BR works great on painted surfaces, fiberglass, chrome and glass. It will not harm clear coated paint or remove durable polishes.

It chemically dissolves the bug splatter but if the bug splatter is old and baked on then you'll probably have to scrub a little.

Dead Bugs on paint for extended time can etch through your car's clear coat, so cross your fingers and hope this hasn't happened.



I have more doubts, but I ´ll leave them for next questions.
Thanks


Post one or two questions and get good answers and then post a few more... you make it easier for people to reply this way so you make it easier to help yourself.

I don't think English is his first language. It is always difficult for people who speak different languages to format English sentences correctly.
1: ARE the Daytona and the EZ brushes the same? Answer is no. What are the differences? The Daytona is sturdier, for one thing.

number 2 is harder for me to understand. You want to know about glass polish and a glass water repellent product, because you mentioned that there is a store that sells a package that does both. For rain repellent, I like Rain-X. You apply it once a month, and it makes a huge difference in whisking water off the glass. You don't even need wipers above 40 MPH.

3: I have a car that hasn't been polished in 6 years,and it is covered in swirls and some deep scratches. Which do I use, Meguiar's 105 and 205, how do I use them properly?

4: What wheel cleaner do you recommend for really dirty wheels that have heavy brake dust? Answer: I can tell you that Poorboy's Spray and Rinse is really effective, but t is effective because it is strong enough to stain some clear coats, in my experience. ( I used it on some early 90's Boyd's wheels, and it left a milky stain) However, I have used it safely on powder coated wheels very successfully.

5: Is Duragloss a good product to remove bugs from the finish? How do I use it? Answer: I don't know, never used that. I find that cleaner wax is very effective for getting things off that washing and claying can't.

I have to say sorry again, not also for not introduce myself or because my language, I have to excuse me for asking question that you have answered time ago.
I´ll try to learn more english, I´ll read more much forum posts and I will return asking new and more technical and not so easier to answer.
Thank´s a lot for the answers and the links you have sent me.
