    I tried everything from straight through 1:4 and even used an old Simple Green bottle with the foaming nozzle and it just didn’t impress me

    Just so you can sleep at night I’ll get a bottle on my next order

    My son kept texting me and I kept losing track of what fold or side of the towel was that I had in my hand so I would toss it in the bucket and grab another

    I use the lower knap green guys to knock down and spread my topper and follow up with the 700 gsm to buff it out

    I got plenty and the instant they feel damp I chuck it and grab a fresh one

    I always use more than most people would I guess

    I have 10 of those orange guys for the actual RW and on a medium size car I will use all ten

    i used Xpress on this job for the first time on the passenger door. It made a good first impression and I do have a few other products that are staples. Brake Buster was my gateway drug and is the only wheel and tire cleaner I use. I used it diluted 1:3 in my IK Foam Pro 2 and it’s worked wonderfully on even the most neglected wheels and tires. The P&S interior carpet cleaning products are also fantastic. You can take the others but you’ll have to pry Brake Buster from my cold, dead hands.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    It was a CarPro day after finding a bottle of Gliss from May '23. Doing the math, I figured I might as well...

    Used Descale, IronX, Reset, Eraser, Hydro Lite and Perl. A lot of these are a little older so I wanted to get a little use out of them.

    I tossed Gliss on after all that and not sure if it will stick long onto the older coating but at least I feel like I used it now before it got too old. It was super easy to use and I think I barely used 15ml.

    I ended up using 8 RW towels which is totally normal for me

    I used 7 of the lighter towels to spread the OCW and 5 heavy/fluffy buffing towels

    To me that’s a pretty standard number of towels for a RW

    Just curious, do you really think that’s too many?

    There was a grit guard in the dirty towels bucket so it looked like more than was I guess

    Like I said, just curious

    That's not too many, I use a couple to apply/remove a topper, guess I'm only thinking about the RW itselfWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
