Grabby Last Touch

[Detail_Dude]

I have Meg's Last Touch undiluted in a 32oz spray bottle. After spritzing my hood 2 to 3 times, and my clean MF towel 1 or 2 times, I proceed to wipe it but feel it's 'grabby'. Before doing that, I used Poorboys S&W to clean the hood, so I am pretty sure there is no dirt and that putting some pressure may be safe (i.e. hoping no scratches result).

Can anyone suggest what I can do to get more of a 'glide' rather than a 'grab' with LT?

Thanks

Try a different towel? Use less product?

Be sure the hood is not hot.

Ah-ha. I thought using *more* product would make the glide easier. Less is better, really?

Good point. This may have been my problem. On the flip side, can the hood be too cold (e.g., 38 degrees F)?

What are you doing QDing your car when it's 38 degrees?

Bad idea, eh? What air temperature would you suggest I wait for? 50?

i qd with last touch when its 28 sometimes outside. no worries about the temp that cold. what does make a diff is if the hood is hot. make sure it's not hot. for your hood 3 full sprays is all you need and you should have no issues. i use last touch almost on a daily basis!

:iagree:. Try a shorter and thinner MF if you're using a thick fluffy one.

I have a super thick MF that sticks to FK425 like a cat on a curtain. Problem solved with thinner towel.

Much appreciated. Tell me, do you try to avoid getting LT on your glass and trim?

That could be it! I will give it a shot tonight. Thank you.

no problems getting LT on glass or trim. i use rainx on my windows. while drying after washes i always throw meguiars synthetic spray wax on my windows and trim. in-between touches with last touch i hit the windows and trim with last touch:)

Good stuff! I've got a 32oz bottle of Meg's Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax that I have yet to use on windows and trim but will probably do so after my next maintenance wash. I'll be sure to buff it off of the windows, of course, with a dry MF side, after spreading it around a bit.

Thanks again
