Well, guys, I'm going to do a quick and dirty phase two of my experiment. I'm going to try a couple other products I didn't have room for on my first run and in an effort to extend the life of the...
OK, Guys, I washed in one of my hand bay by spraying the hood with self serve presoak, then scrubbing normally with a foam brush. This did indeed accelerate failure of several products.
I don't know for sure because I haven't tried, But I'm going to speculate that it would not be helpful. Most water spots removers are acidic in nature and respond to acids, not solvents which are in...
The optimum quit beading. Meguiars and Durgloss sprays are the products holding up. I predict Duragloss will be the wash durability winner. RippyD's longevity test indicated both lasted about the...
I'm going to assume not necessary because all the products are getting the same treatment. You can see which ones are still beading nicely HOWEVER, I will say that if I spray water on my dry hood...
Guys, I'm testing several of these products now for automatic touch free wash durability and contributing this info to Rippy's excellent longevity study. My posts start at page 34, but Rippy has...
OK, guys, we're here at about the 15 wash mark. Chronologically this is only over ten days, but this is the equivalent of over three months of once weekly washes.
Still catching up on old data. These washes occurred in mid September. I had hot weather here and daily highs were in the 90s. I had some troubleshooting work to do on two different units and washed...

Well, Eldorado2k, thanks for the guess. I'm actually not recording chronological time, but the number of times a particular product can survive an alkaline wash cycle. Although I'm trying to wait 24...
Well, inspired by RippyD Ive been experimenting with a few sealants lately and thought I would see how some of these products stand up to a commercial car wash and their...
