Detailed with wax for clay lube?

[pheerix]

D115 is not recommended as a clay lube per Meguiars

[DieryEuroSpec]

I prefer Mothers Showtime if I had unlimited $$$$ but I don't so I use ONR as my clay/nano lube. Never had any crumbling issues. As soon as the ONR is gonzo I plan to pick up D114 as I love the fact it can be used as an alternative to IPA planel wipe.

Yes for 1:128 but I was referring to 1:256

Gottcha!

For what it's worth...

Spray waxes tend to dissolve detailing clay.


For washing fleet trucks purchase a brand name rinseless wash concentrate. Mix according to instruction.

Optimum No Rinse

DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss



Keep it simple....

The more I watch Larry's videos the more I doubt he's one of the best, but there's no better way to build your credibility than the way he does it (own line of products, huge following on YouTube..... Wait that's also why Chemical Guys is popular!) but he's still great for people starting. Still much better than Junkman.

I think Larry and Junkman are both quite knowledgeable albeit different methods. As the saying goes.......... more than one way to skin a cat.
Don't get too caught up in washing/detailing a car. We make it way harder than it really is. The only "tricky" part is polishing swirls and scratches out. But, as the saying goes, start with the least aggressive and go from there.
Don't know why you want to hate on Larry or Junkman. They're both very good. I would love to see YOUR work compared to any of theirs !!!!

I don't hate them, but I don't agree with a lot of the things they say and some of the things they say (like Junkman's comments on microfiber) are either just incorrect or need more of an explanation.

My work is just as good as there's. I've worked on rare Porsches like Larry (918, super rare 993 - my favorite,) and even billionaire's car collections. Although I'll go ahead and say the types of cars you work are not an indication of how good you are even though customers think so. We see threads on hack jobs on $200,000+ cars all the time. If you watch his videos nothing is really revolutionary or special. It's all basic stuff even though he sometimes seems to make it look more complicated.

Junkman is a prime example that anyone can do detailing. The stuff he does is simple and shows how to easily polish car similar to Mike Phillips on his PC videos. Nothing he does is bad or wrong.

My top detailers? In no particular order:
Todd Cooperidge
Mike Phillips
Zach McGovern
Kevin Brown

Don't know why the snide comment about my work was necessary. I wish my tapatalk app worked to upload photos. Or if you really wanna see my collection of photos then your welcome to message me and I'll email you them.... Unless you're Junkman or Larry, you shouldn't be insulted so I don't know....

I use Showtime as I only clay 2-3 times/yr. I only pay $5 bottle and when that runs out I have a gallon of the CG Luber..... I'm broke as a church mouse, but, if I have to save a few pennies just to clay my car, I'll just reduce the amount of times I clay or cut a corner somewhere else.

Lots of hating going on. They (Junkman and Larry of AMMONYC) are excellent in my opinion. Regardless, no need in being so crude and hateful.
Take a chill pill and wash it down with a beer. It's just cleaning a car, not brain surgery or a cure for cancer. Keep things in perspective.

Seriously.
