I pretty much hate the dust the stock pads produce. Just a matter of days until a clean wheel is covered. In an attempt to remedy the situation, at least until I get the Hawk HPS pads on, I thought...
If you are going to buy this model you should find as good an example as you can. They are really not up there in value, yet. A pristine, low mileage will be someday, just not right at this minute....
No undies, not enough material after cutting off elastic and sewed seams. On tee shirts, I cut off sleeves, collar, and bottom stitching so all I have is a plain sheet of cotton.
Try to find used 100% cotton. Garage sales, etc. Old tee shirts, diapers, towels. Wash them several times before using and inspect to make sure they don't have any glue, etc. that would scratch....
That's been my experience. I know for a fact, I get swirls (micro marring) and the only thing that has touched my paint is a microfiber towel to dry or apply and remove product. And I don't buy cheap...
I don't use waterless, never have, and probably won't since I don't think there is any way in the world to prevent some surface damage. Right now the car is pretty good on the very fine marks....
How can a waterless car wash not introduce micro marring if the car has any dirt whatsoever? Is this to be used only on dusty cars? I seem to have a hard time not getting micro marring even with 2...
Can't beat Duragloss 105! Factor in price and it's no contest.
Wash,clay, Duragloss 601 followed by 105, wait 24 and another coat of 105.
Try it see if you're not impressed. Great thing is you...
I just ordered the Carrand Sheepskin wheel brush. Haven't gotten it yet but I had the same problem, not enough room. Didn't really need anything aggressive so I got the sheepskin.
Coating will never completely replace wax and sealants and won't really gain popularity with the general public until they are foolproof to apply. Long way to go in that regard.
Try Dupont Prep-Sol. It's made to remove wax etc. prior to painting. Try on a small area first to make sure paint has cured enough.

Duragloss can't be beat for pop and durability and I've used many sealants at all prices. Gonna get some arguments, but just try it and see for yourself. It's not so expensive that you would feel bad...
My wife has an RX that generally looks like the before of the interior. I try my best to stay up with it but she uses it like her pickup. Hauls anything...
Is there any benefit to using a real good wax, I used P21S, on original single stage lacquer paint on a 1962 Corvette instead of a sealant? Guess what I'm asking is if the wax will penetrate...
Don't know about the acid rain question. Probably depends on what is in the rainwater. I'd say if you have acid rain in your area, you have more problems with the...
