Because, as I noted in my post, I believe that some the debris that is trapped by the foam could be getting rubbed against the paint by your mitt if you don't rinse it off the car first.

I can't feel the spots with my finger. They are white- that waxy/opaque color similar to bug wax residue. The blue look I think came from poor camera quality or something.

My car was at the dealership having service done for over 2 weeks. I washed it right before I brought it in (the problem was non-urgent). I told the dealership not to wash my car after they...

Foam (soap) is a surfactant, so it can "break through" water no problem. I'm not concerned about this.

Maybe I'm over-thinking things and it might be a minor detail, but I'm curious. When washing my car: I jet-rinse all the big debris off my car with water first, then soak it with water, then cover...

I've wondered the same thing myself

Ok so I'm not the only one getting this.

To be clear OP, I sealed with BFWD before i waxed. :xyxthumbs:

Congrats to the winner. Reading your post, you did have a good sales pitch! :dblthumb2:

I have xpel ultimate on my car. I use BF Midnight Sun paste wax, which is a wipe on wipe off wax. So, it doesn't dry before you wipe it off. For other (and good practice in general), non-WOWA...

Thanks for the excellent explanation Mike. It seems to me that an open cell foam pad like the cyclo pads would be a better fit for me. I wonder if the buff 'n shine pads are also open cell...which...

Thanks for the responses. I usually run it at speed 6 with the 4" pads... sometimes at 5. On the trickier surfaces where the body lines change alot (which is where I use the smaller pads to begin...

I use a PC 7424 XP with a 3.5" backing plate and 4" pads. The backing plate and pads get very hot. In fact, my LC Hydro Tech 4" pads get burnt and warped after minimal usage. The orange cutting...

"on the road" is the terminology used in the article you presented. I was simply quoting that.

The reverse could be true in other cases when talking about medians. However, it would not make sense when talking about cars. The older a car gets, the less likely it will be that it is still on...

Found one for you

Review: Optimum Gloss-Coat Paint Coating - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum

Agree. It eliminates outliers (i.e. a minority of cars that are way older), which can skew the numbers

I'll do a review! This car isn't out yet, but it will be the hottest thing on the road!

Thanks guys. I'll give it a thorough 2 bucket wash and apply another layer of wax. Claying shouldn't be necessary since I just did it 5 weeks ago, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing...

I use a Speedy Prep "clay" towel, which uses a rubber technology for decontamination (is that what nanoskin uses?) I did my whole car 2 times with it. Then, when I did my mom's car it left behind...

Newb question here, bare with me. About 5 weeks ago I polished my car, sealed with BFWD, then waxed with Midnight Sun. Now, I would like to apply another layer of wax.

Can I simply do a normal...

Glad I could help Mike. Though I'd have to make about 9,000,000 more similar "helps" to come anywhere close to making up for the awesome info and advice you provide to us here:thankyousign:


Are...

Can you create polls here at AG forums? Would be awesome for discussions like this.

Lol. I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out. I wish it was Memorial Day though...I don't want summer to be over.
