    Never had a problem with any of them.

    None of them are strong enough to "gum up" your PFM's if you wash them afterward.
    That's great news! I'll try some of my other sealants I have.

    Thanks for the idea. That's sort of what I've been doing now but I've been using a leaf blower first. The PFM completely dries the car and then I've been using the Forrest Green towels with lower nap. Just trying to figure out a way to shorten the process with less steps since my time is so limited.

    Haha! I'm actually waiting until Walmart runs them on sale for $6.99, and then I'll buy 7 bottles which will now guarantee a two decade supply. Sort of what I did with UFF when Walmart clearanced it in my area. I really like that product as well. Detailing products have evolved so quickly in the past few years that for me, we are getting into degrees of separation between excellent products available.

    Re: PFM towels with Bead Maker

    I’ve used my PFM’s to dry the car using both Kamikaze Overcoat and Polish Angel Cosmic spritz both applied when car wet and then toweled off. These are heavy duty stuff and have not had any issues with absorbency on my PFM’s

    I use griots MF and pad cleaner mixed with a free and clear detergent. Wash in hot dry on low for 25 mins. I think the hot water and added detergent do a lot better than a MF cleaner alone. I’ve tried the griots, 3D Kleen, McKee’s and F&C detergent alone. I feel the mix at half and half does the best job.


    Note: Griots recommends mixing with F&C in their videos and instructions on the bottle.

    Haha! you know me too well. Just recently bought the G9 so I should be good for a while ( famous last words! ) I may get some Carpro gloss pads but not sure how much of a difference they will make over my LC and B&S pads with Essence.
