Thanks Mike! Three years later and I wash it the same way when it is above freezing. Also, thanks so much for all the information. I will be an Autogeek customer for life.

I do have hot/cold running water outside and I use this method all the time. Having a great wax on the car is invaluable for a quick clean. Thank you Mike for making us all better car owners.

Awesome ideas. I am using the Wolfgang rinseless diluted to whatever it said to use as a waterless. I will give the ONR a shot next.

A scenario that seems to be common enough for me that I should have a standard procedure.

So I drive 35 nasty highway miles in a pouring rain. Like any good Autogeek I recently put Fuizon over a...

Hahahahahahahaha - a whole year. How many people here have waxed a whole car more than once inside of a week for a slightly less than sane reason? (or is that just something I do?)

I write code for a living for an auto manufacturer and I come home a train like a competitive powerlifter. Believe me, I know all about body maintenance and have a chiropractor and massage therapist...

Funny enough, I was just brushing my teeth and while moving my electric toothbrush along the prescribed pattern I had the odd thought that I am actually not brushing, but rather machine polishing...

Drive North, pay the $4 and then go West. Stop before you get to Wisconsin. I live in Northville which is also a short drive to the People's Republic of Ann Arbor. (I am a Husky by undergrad but my...

She doesn't ask about my "carwash stuff" and I don't ask about her clothing purchases. She accepts that washing the car makes me happy so off I am sent.

One time her eyes got really big when I...

Hysterically awkward secret handshake returned. Java is for drinking, C (and begrudgingly C++ and Python) are for coding. The condescending UNIX user from the Dilbert comics is my career goal.

I use a rinseless occasionally. I use the leaf blower rarely and rely on the electric dryer. I have all the stuff on hand and the hose is coiled right beside my driveway. It only takes 4-6 minutes to...

You might notice that I basically just regurgitated information from your book and all of the ridiculously detailed and well-written articles you publish. I don't post much because there is almost no...

I am almost literally in the same boat but a few years into this. I traverse I-275 and I-696 basically daily and I like to keep my little ATS super shiny because I park in a sea of Cadillacs.

"Paint is a wear part, like brakes pads. Why prolong the inevitable failure?"

A coworker with a doctorate degree in engineering said that about his G37.

My very first Autogeek purchase.

Mike Phillips Detailing Book & DVD Combo, how to detail, how to use a polisher

I just applied Wolfgag Fuzion two weeks after applying DGPS and it looks fantastic. WGDP looks great on it's own but like everyone above said it is stupid easy to apply and let it cure for 12 hours.

I waited till it was dark. 😂

Just finished wiping down a coat of Fuizon.

This is the kind of retentive attention to detail I will most definitely try. Presently my wife is out with my kids. I mowed the lawn and washed my car. I am inside chugging ice water to stop...

Thanks for the reply!

M105 was a typo. I meant 205 and the Meguiar's folks were kind enough to put an idiot proof label to differentiate the two.

I already did two test spots on the roof and...

I run a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires on my car and I bought a new car so I had to buy new wheels. They are BBS SR painted in the Anthracite color. (Kind of a gun metal gray but I digress)...

I waxed the inside of my garage door so it wouldn't get dusty and get anything on my cars when I opened it. It worked.

I am not deserving of such a beast but the DA I have has been used with great success on my stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, mirrors, windows - basically anything flat that I like...

I, for no logical reason, do not like to leave soap on a panel for longer than necessary so I...

1. Wash the panel with as few strokes as necessary
2. Rinse the panel

The rest of my process is...

Mike,

Yet again you changed the way I care for my cars. I have a ton of drying towels now that I do not care to think about how much I spent. I have a ridiculously overpowered leaf blower that...
