Well, these waxes are 5 years old, and I have new products that I am planning to use for my next detail - McKee's and Finish Kare. Might as well use as much of them as possible before tossing them...

Ah. Will do. Please check back in March!

Is it ok to layer with different brands of wax?

For example, I have a layer of Collinite 845 on my car. Can I apply a coat of Sonax Super Liquid Wax on top of Collinite? I just want to use up...

That makes sense. I detailed my weekend car, and the water still beaded after clay and IPA wipe... I hope the new layer of wax sticks until spring, although I'll drive it a couple of times a month or...

Will touchless not strip off wax, regardless of chemicals used in the tunnel? I always use touchless for this car.

Just checked the underbody washer. Nice tool.

But still gonna take this thing to auto car wash. Handwashing one car is already too much during cold winter season. Don't make me wash two cars out...

Well, I did ask the manager before, but he had no clue. I even called Esso office (gas station near my house where the automatic car wash is located), but I couldn't get an answer. Both times, I...

Do soaps and other chemicals from automatic car wash strip off sealant and waxes that were applied by hand?

I am planning to detail my daily with one coat of Klasse sealant and one coat of...

Thank you.

One more question

You and another poster mentioned rinsing the synthetic clay after a couple of panels. Can I use the synthetic clay even when it's wet?

Thanks for your input.

I would love to store the synthetic clay in my house but I am an OCD germaphobe... I can't just put it in my house unless perfectly cleaned and washed.

So can I wash the...

OP here. One more question:

Does synthetic clay also strip off sealant and wax? I know clays and ISP do not completely strip off wax and sealant, but I still would like to know whether synergetic...

Wow. Thanks for detailed response. I really appreciate it

I have one bar of clay laying around, so I'll use combination of both

Thanks for your input!

I've heard that clay is better... Is this true? Should I use both clay and synthetic clay?

I am planning to use synthetic clay bar for the first time.

I was wondering whether there is a significant difference between Nanoskin and Mothers in terms of how well it picks up contaminants. I...

Email from Collinite:

If the product is not severely discolored and is shaking back to a semi-liquid state or gel, it is probably fine. If it appears that the clear oils are completely separated...

Thank you

Klasse had smooth, oily and creamy texture.

Applied Klasse sealant without issue. It was in nice milky/oily texture like last time I used it. Buffing off didn't seem harder than before (Klasse is already difficult to remove after hazing). Car...

Thank you. Will email them to ask how cold weather could have affected the product

Thank you. Will also clean wire wrappings (rubber?) as well

OP here

My car is a 2011 BMW (original owner). And this is the first time I used degreaser to clean engine bay. I just didn't want to spray the engine bay with water, so I just wiped it with a...

I soaked a rag with degreaser and wiped the various parts of engine bay as long as my hands could reach them.

I did not rinse the engine bay with water. I just let the degreaser dry.

I was...

How about rinsing the car with water first, and then cleaning the roof with QD?

Never done rinseless washing before... Kind of scared to because I might damage the paint. Is it really as simple as spraying the foam and wiping it off...? If so, I just might give it a try since...

I've used UQD before, and it seemed to leave quite a noticeable streak... I don't know how things are now though.

How is the protection compared to Sonax?

What about Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax? Sonax is not easily found in stores, and I'll have to order a bunch more products to save on shipping charges.
