Just a follow up on this.

I applied FB several times over the course of the day and it seemed the streaking was must less. (Remember I said you had to be within a couple of feet to see it.) The...

pro 4x, yes there are a number of products, however I happen to have FB. This was my first try on trim.

conman1395, yes the piece was cleaned. I used Dawn soap, then I went over it with Groit's...

I was satisfied with it on tires. Gave a nice rich black, not real glossy, and no streaking. The sponge applicator is a tad fragile so don't press too hard.

A follow-up to my post. I decided to...

I've used FB on my tires and it worked very well, nice even color. So I tried some on plastic trim. Specifically the piece that runs under the wiper blades across the vehicle. It has a slightly...

I have a question that I don't recall seeing mentioned before.

Does a hot water wash remove any of the synthetic coatings? I'm assuming it doesn't, but thought I would ask. I know it will remove...

Just wanted to give a few details about adapting my PW to the MTM Hydro Professional Foam Lance. From the product description I knew the supplied adapters would not work, so I ordered a Bosch adapter...

Thanks for all the replies everyone! This looks like a good product type to try out, probably on my next order.

My initial search in the store here did not pick up the sponges, hence my question....

When you say sponge, do you mean either the 6" or 4" pad? Or the mitt?

Good point about cleaning first, then using the mitt. Sounds like the mitt lasts for a quite a few cars. Hopefully a few more folks will jump in.

Hello,

Ok, been reading about Nanoskin here and in the Autogeek ads. Sounds great! Cost seems higher than quality clay, but that depends on how long it lasts. So,

+ Any idea how long (e.g. how...

Is this a great forum or what!!!

Thanks for all the advice, now I just need to make a selection and I'll have another item for my next order.

Thanks for the leads! I'm new to this level of "car washing" and haven't looked at either of these 3 products. I've been using Meg and DP products. Looks like I need to expand my stock.

Ok, I'm interested if there is a sealant for chrome. I've found no posts that indicate this, nor any good hits using Google. All posts dealing with chrome talk about polishes and or wax, which is my...

Here is another resource for looking up common product.

What turns rubber trim white? I know that paste Carnauba wax will. But what about the synthetics?

I'm new to modern methods, but I've used Meguiars Ultimate Compound & Meguiars NXT 2.0 sealant....

I just watched a utube video by Meg's on this adn they said Swirl X is the least aggressive and UC is the most (of the 3).

Thanks! It seemed like their product would work. I'll put it on my list of supplies to get.

Ok, that makes it easier, and explains why "double taping" isn't mentioned.

Thanks!

Here I go with another basic question. I've seen many posts and a number of videos on Detailing, and taping trim has usually been covered.

But, do I tape the body so I can do the...

Another interesting topic!!! I have floor mats that need some refreshing. :) I just inherited a set of Grey WeatherTech mats from my brother-in-law that are several years old, stained and dirty. I...

Yea, I'm sure you are right. Well at least it works as a sprayer head so it's not a total loss. Maybe I'll try again on my next order.

Thanks for all the comments, it was really bugging me.

Ok, after reading Setec Astronomy's reply I took the sprayer and stuck it in the hand soap -- no foam. I then stuck it in a bottle of Windex, no foam.

Then I pulled up the brands jamesboyy...

Actually I was thinking of foaming the tires, not the whole car. This was just to see how it works. My experience with foam is limited to the hand soap my wife has on the sink, and it's neat how it...

Ok, so it may be defective, but surprising since it has
Groit's name on it.

Thanks for the other brand names! I'm not ready to spring for a spray gun, just doing my own vehicles. I thought I...

I've read that foaming of soap is better as it keeps the wash solution in place, allowing it to work longer. Since I'm just a hobbiest I decided to get the Griot's Garage Foaming Finest Sprayer head....
