    Re: Wax/sealent

    After a wash and before a wax I've recently been using Griot's garage pre-wax cleaner (after reading a couple of write-ups on the product here on AG). It does what it says - removes wax with a spray...

    Re: Waxing

    I picked up some Meguire's Ultimate spray wax. Very easy to use but it does not last very long. If you are a weekly washer then the this stuff will last long enough between washes for sure. I like...

    Re: Layering Sealants & Waxes

    Ken - yeah I hear you - most of what I do "seems to work" because the car looks great and I guess that's all that matters in the end. Thanks for the additional datapoint with other products.

    Layering Sealants & Waxes

    My question is specific to how well waxes work over sealants. I've read a couple articles here on AGO on the topic and the general concept I take away from those articles are that Sealants are...

    Re: Melted CCS Pads? Thoughts?

    I delaminated a pad using the porter cable so you are not alone. I found that the backing plate gets hot and melts the adhesive that holds the pad to the Velcro backing. The polisher got too hot. ...

    Been using the gel for a long time and there is definitely a little bit of learning how to use it. My applicator gets a measured amount of gel for each tire - enough that I don't need to wipe off...
