  4. Re: AutoFiber Scrub Ninja - Anyone use it -long term-

    I agree that these are aggressive, but a time saver! I use the CarPro microfiber gloves for bad steering wheels - a little easier to use than a towel when you need some serous scrubbing!

    A detail spray is just for shine, while a spray wax will have some protection. With the advances in technology the spray waxes are lasting longer and longer.

  10. Re: Finally investing in my own polishing equipment.

    I am going to suggest a different route - start with the Rupes polishes and pads combinations, then see if you need to add other brands/products. Thier stuff is not cheap, but works great together. ...

    Also, leaving some sections of the car unprotected for a...

    I have a Metro Vac N'Blo, with 2 6' hoses. I purchased the less expensive Hand Vac from another site, and then got a call asking it I would like a returned Vac N'Blo for the same price (around $70)...
  16. Re: Preventing Swirls and Scratches on Soft Black Paint

    Mostly rinseless washes, with an occasional foam gun/2BM wash. I quit trying to chase the swirls and just kept it clean (mostly). But I don't have to do that any more, as an impaired driver totaled...

    I would suggest adding Grit Guard(s), and making it a 2, 3, or 4 bucket wash. The more you clean the mitt, the less chance...

    I have a Rupes 15 MKII and a Rupe Mini, and they always worked fine...until I did a few Porsche cars & SUVs. The curves stalled the 15, so I...

    All the coating folks I spoke to at Mobile Tech Expo about this said you need to remove the factory coating (usually requires sanding it off) to get the best results on headlights.
