    Re: Interesting new wash technique

    You need to run down there and explain to him that Carhartt's deserve better treatment than that.
    You probably don't have any shop rags handy, but you could probably take him a roll of paper towels.
  2. Re: New Microfiber washign routine worked out well.

    The vinegar rinse isn't something I do every wash so I'm not really able to comment of how much damage regular, repeated use might do.
    Some of my MF towels are probably 6 or 7 years old and I don't...
  3. Re: New Microfiber washign routine worked out well.

    It has been said that the vinegar will help remove any soap residue. :dunno:

    Re: M-F towels

    The first wash is just like any other wash for me. IMO, the main purpose of the first wash is to remove anything in the towels from manufacturing, shipping and handling.

    I also happen to use...

    Re: ONR confusion?

    Why???
    A couple of days ago, the ONR you have was a good product.
    It still is. It didn't turn rancid overnight. :)
    Use it in your normal way and they will probably have another revision ready when...

    Re: ONR confusion?

    At great prices!
    $29.99 for a gallon of the new formula ain't too bad.

    Re: Which car do you pick and why?

    Somewhat true, but you would probably get some argument from the people that have had acceleration or braking problems.
    The problems being discussed, while serious, would not stop me from buying a...

    Re: Which car do you pick and why?

    Since the price is not a factor, it is a matter of personal choice.
    I would go for the red since I like red.:)

    Re: Waterless Car Detailing - Please Help !

    I think one thing that would make the rinseless products a better choice for a professional detailer is customer acceptance.
    Taking a spray bottle and a rag* and wiping someone's car down may be a...

    Re: Waterless Car Detailing - Please Help !

    I don't think you are wrong in your assessment.
    I do use a lot of waterless product as well as rinseless product on our vehicles and if the vehicle is extremely dirty, it gets the pre-rinse at the...

    While both are good products, they are not waterless washes.

    Re: Wrist hurts after polishing with machine

    All good advice.
    You might also try:
    1. It it's a PC, don't use the handle. Just place your hand on the head of the machine to control it and apply pressure. Works for me.
    2. Don't hold the...

  14. Re: Can ONR really be used WITHOUT causing marring on black paint?

    While I don't have a black car, I have used rinseless washes on a white one and 2 red ones for several years without causing a bunch of marring.
    One thing I might mention, I have used ONR, DP RW&G,...
  15. Re: Why are Threads being Deleted? (Admin Note: Threads are not deleted but moved or closed to maintain civility)

    If someone is on your case, the old cliche, "Consider the Source", is pretty good advice.
    I recently saw it used under just those circumstances.
    It was directed at me and I probably deserved it. :D

    Re: Rinseless Washing

    Just a few comments.

    1. I have used ONR, DP RW&G and QEW a lot over the last few years. The original DP 4 in1 also was included.
    All have done a good job as a rinseless wash. The differences are...

    Re: "Working In" a Sealant?

    My original question did refer to applying pressure to "work" the sealant in.
    I did not post a link since it was in a different forum.
    I'm also not interested in dissecting the problem or running...

    Would working a sealant into the paint surface shown actually "fill" any of those imperfections?

    "Working In" a Sealant?

    In a recent discussion about using a polisher to apply products, a question came up about whether to apply pressure or just let the weight of the polisher supply the pressure.
    And yes, I know at...

    Re: Wax removal/buffing with PC7424

    This works, but I'm not too sure how much of a benefit it will be for you.
    I have used that method a few times, but just using a MF towel to remove product is pretty hard to beat.

    Client 1 is probably a lost cause. If his interior was that great when he dropped it of, why was he having you clean it?

  23. Re: Is there any routine maintenance for a polisher

    You might want to read the owner's manual.
    My PC7336 has a section on keeping the tool clean by blowing out air passages with dry compressed air,
    They also recommend a 100 hour inspection and...

    Re: Anyone have an ABSORBER drying towel?

    That's kind of what I tried to say.

    I remember someone saying, "Find something you like and use it often".
    As long as you are happy with it, there's no reason to change.
