I mean I use it all the time too for all sorts of stuff, but I was talking more generally than just in detailing or other automotive purposes. In that regard, it can damage leather for one. And I'd...
"Petroleum distillate" is way of saying it's a product of processing crude petroleum (crude oil) products. It could be one of many (probably hundreds if not thousands) of things. In the context of...
I love working on black, but owning it is impossible. Unless I have 6 cars and can literally drive and wash the black car once a month, I'm not going to have the time or mental power to own one...
Well, I've yet to encounter a new car that doesn't benefit from being polished. I've seen Aston Martins come with factory wrapping still on that needed it. You said it's white and if you haven't done...
2 more years. That's how much time I have left until I'm finally done with school and will become a doctor. Unlike all of my friends in medical school, I never wanted to be a doctor and didn't even...
I did a review of this a while ago and it's funny that this thread came up because I was just thinking about how my thoughts have changed. Here's the link. I actually reviewed all the sponges...
Those bug sponges might do the trick. Regardless, they're great to have. I'm specifically talking about the Scrub Daddy/Pinnacle Bug Sponge (they're the same thing, but one is cheaper and easier to...
A customer brought me a car like this once (although not with mold in the engine bay). His garage flooded or something right before winter, but nothing even touched the car cover according to him so...
Glad you see the reason why anyone would come back. Then I wonder what the point of your passive comment was?? Funny that you're the one that told people to chill.
That really has nothing to do with whether or not people with nice cars come see you. A bunch of terrible shops that charge hundreds of dollars only to put swirls all over Ferraris are in my city....
I literally just use D156. A gallon is, like, $33. Either that or I've used DG Rinseless wash mixed as Quick Detailer, but D156 does a fine job. Otherwise all the SiO2 stuff is super over-priced and...
For a 3 or 4-inch pad you shouldn't be going much more than speed 4 to begin with. I don't even use 6 with a 5.5 inch pad. That's my issue with the larger body polishers. They work, yeah. I did it...
I just let them sit on a shelf to dry, and then store them face up. I never even sprayed my clay bars with QD before storage. They don't come wet so I never really figured they'd need to be stored...
I highly dislike Chemical Guys as a company because their products are 95% hype. The only reason they have a huge following is because they have a huge YouTube presence. Doesn't mean they're good...
Great write-up Mike. Question: Why does Rupes continue to have the shroud contact the backing plate? I don't get it. Rather than lubricate the surface, why don't they just make it not touch at all?
I'll let you in on a secret (well... not really a secret). I'm going to follow the rules AS THEY'RE OUTLINED since I used to get in trouble for this crap. I will not tell you where I buy them since...
It's pointless to top an AIO in my opinion, because I can find plenty of polishes that correct as well and clean out from my pads better than AIO. Then I'll just follow up with an LSP that is more...
I truly don't think there's a single swirl remover that can be used by hand without hating yourself within 2 hours. The work I can do in two hours by hand is about most of a hood (and I'm not doing...
