With the immense help from this board, I completed my first real detail this weekend...Here are the results: (sorry no pics yet--I know, I know)
DP 4-1
Can't tell you how great this product is. I had used DP wheel cleaner but the 4-1 works nearly as well on light brake dust. The dust just flows off and the wheels actually bead up after the rinse.
As a rinseless wash, 2 thumbs up! No scratches and no soapy residue.
As a QD, it works equally as well. Quick spritz and wipe with MF keeps the car shiny, slick and dust free. For the price, this is a must-have.
Polishing Pal
Nice item for those not ready to venture into the world of PC or UDM. Saves the hands, arms and shoulders although tis a tight fit underneath the side view mirrors. Easy to apply product too. Not sure if I'd use the more abrasive pads with it for polishing though...
DG 105
After big kudos by Al-53, I gave it a whirl. After using the Poly Ultra Clay (much easier than imagined), the 105 was slapped on with the Polishing Pal. Very slick and brightened up even a 3 month new silver paint. 2 coats on the hood, roof and trunk. Wow!
DP Wheel Glaze
Works pretty well. It'll leave the wheels clean but wondering if another sealant (105?) would work just as well...
Liquid Souveran
The price seemed--well, pricey. But the easy WOWO made it most worthwhile. All the reviews stating silver loves this product were true. Nice to see truth in advertising lives today. I had no less than 3 people stop me at the gas station commenting on the car (Audi A6 Quattro). Amazing what a little TLC will bring...I am intrigued with the DG AW though.
This forum
Again, thank you for all the expert advice. Even though my neighbors think I'm nuts constantly cleaning the windows and daily QDing its great to stand back and admire the work. My wife wants to know why my home office is such a mess. I told her I don't drive the office.
Cheers
