    Re: Microfiber towels not rinsing clean??

    Another vote for white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser plus second rinse. I've been doing it that way for a while and never seem to have any issues with any soap residue. Very hard water...

    Re: Electric pressure washer ?'s

    I've had an AR383 for a few years now. I use it every time I do a 2BM to get all the heavy dirt/grit off before I start my wash. Have also used it to PW the deck and concrete and it works very well...
  3. Re: How often do you apply your spray sealant as a topper?

    Same. It is my final step after every wash, whether 2BM or RW. For me it's more about that final step to remove any streaks or water spots I may have left behind after drying (plus the added...

    Re: Foam cannon for AR383...

    I recently bought the AR foam cannon on Amazon which came with the adapter to fit right into my AR383. Questions for experienced users:

    1) What ratio of soap to water do you use in the bottle? I...

    Re: Cleaning/Protecting Microsuede

    Hi Bob, always good to have your input. AGO does sell Lightning Fast. It does have some protection built in, so I might be able to stop there.

    I will keep the wetness to a minimum if I try adding...

    Re: Cloth fender liner cleaning

    I have pretty good luck using a pressure washer. It seems to get the grass out. It just takes time...especially if I haven't given them a good powerwashing in a while. I usually just keep going...

    Cleaning/Protecting Microsuede

    Just picked up a 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec which has some microsuede through the middle of the seats as well as one trim piece on the dash above the glove box. I've searched and read through here on...

    Re: High Spots!

    Was it maybe in the areas where you overlapped your section? I had a weird thing happen when I did my first coating a couple months ago with Gloss Coat. I just did hood, front fenders, side mirrors...

    Re: What towels for coatings?

    I've only done one coating so far which was Gloss Coat. After 30-60 seconds when most of the product flashed, I wiped with the short nap side of a MFT 530 gsm towel. Soaked in D101 solution a...
  11. Re: Need help selecting new polish for soft honda and mazda paint..

    For Honda's I like good ole fashion M105/M205. However, I usually opt for Ultimate Compound over M105. UC/105 on an orange LC pad and M205 on a white LC pad.

    Re: Removing Tire Gel From Applicators

    I have the foam blocks that look like an I-beam. I use BF tire gel. I have to admit, after each use, I just put the applicator in my wheel/tire drawer, gel side up, and leave it for the next time. ...

    Nice! I just brought home a 16 RDX for the wife. Paint is in pretty good shape even though it sat on the dealer lot for a while before we bought it. I've got the interior done and protected and...

    I've been very happy with the bug and tar sponge that is sold by PBMG. It's branded under some of the in-house brands like Blackfire and...

    Re: Old vs New Nanoskin Mitt

    Mine looks like your new one. No imprint on the back. Had it for about a year now.
  16. Re: Can I Use a microfiber cloth to apply ultimate compound?

    I would go with a MF applicator vs. a towel if you are going to do it by hand. You can get them at any local auto parts store. As Don M eluded to, a machine would be better, otherwise you are in...

    Re: Storing auto detailing product

    I am fortunate in that we have a huge walk in closet on our first floor that is just too big to really use for much. We have a smaller coat closet where we put coats and shoes about 20 feet away. ...

    Re: Polymer "clay" products being damaged

    You don't want to use tar-x with regular clay either. I learned the hard way on that one. It basically melts.

  21. Re: First time DA'ing! Pad care and storage questions!

    I'm pretty similar to dlc95. I brush the pad after 2 sections. I used to use the towel method like Mike Phillips does until one time the towel got wrapped in the spindle and blew my machine. ...

    Agree on Coll 845 on white. I like that as well and it's durable. Sometimes you can find Coll 845 at Advance Auto Parts. So if you are looking for something to buy local, this might be a good...

    Re: 2015 honda civic polishing question

    1. Plenty if you use a fine polish like M205 or similar. Honda paints are typically easy to correct and you don't need to start real aggressive.
    2. Typically a repaint will have more clear than the...
