    IK Multi Pro 2

    I recently bought one of these for doing waterless washes but I was also thinking it would be pretty useful for chemicals like Iron X or a wheel cleaner. I had a few questions though:

    1. For those...
  2. Re: 3D speed vs rupes uno vs griots boss finishing vs blackfire one step

    Thanks for the feedback on One. That's really the only negative I've heard about it.

    If they have 8oz versions of all their polishes in store, I may try a few! :D
  3. Re: 3D speed vs rupes uno vs griots boss finishing vs blackfire one step

    Interesting. All I see on the 3D Canada website is 32oz and 1 gallon! 8oz would be sweet. I'll have to check in store.
  4. Re: 3D speed vs rupes uno vs griots boss finishing vs blackfire one step

    Thanks for the recommendations guys! I actually do have a bottle of their orange degreaser now that you mention it, and it has been solid. One has been on my list for a while. Bead it up I think I'll...
  5. Re: 3D speed vs rupes uno vs griots boss finishing vs blackfire one step

    Interesting. 3D's Canadian headquarters (and retail store!) is about 5 minutes from my house so I may have to give that a try.

    Not to derail the thread, but any other standouts in their line?...

    Haven't tried it on a VW/Audi but I second this combo for hard(er) paints.

    Re: Looking for opinions on a finishing polish

    I'm a big fan of Essence. Super high gloss, surprisingly versatile depending on your pad choice, and wipes off super easily. Love it. I've used it with everything from a wool pad to a black finishing...

    Just wanted to update my thread now that I've used the Rupes medium wool pad. They cut really well! So much so that the original combo I was planning to use on this paint (pairing the pad with Tac...

    Re: Seriously?! My rant about "soft" black paint

    BMW non-metallic black paint (jet black) is the softest paint I have ever encountered. Literally looking at it the wrong way will scratch it. I've seen cars that are a year or two old that look like...

    Re: Microfiber pads - your experience?

    Fair question regarding my wash technique! The car belongs to a family member. I last polished it roughly 3 years ago, and from what I hear, it needs a bit of work again. So my original intent behind...

    Appreciate the info guys. Have to say, you've got me leaning towards the wool now! I guess my question is what exactly is gained or lost going from foam to wool? Again, no specific issues with what...

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'll be honest, I've always thought of wool as something you would only use for serious correction, so I find it interesting there is a supposed "medium" wool pad. The...

    I'm in the market for a couple new pads. I've always used Lake Country flat foam pads but I've read a lot of good things about Uro Fiber pads. I haven't been able to find an exact answer, but to...

    Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax has a clay lube?

    UQW is a pure wax (i.e. not designed to have any lubricative properties, like a detail spray would for instance) so I wouldn't recommend it.

    I'd say you could maybe skip step E depending on how well Speed finishes out. Also, depending on the condition of your paint I'd first try speed with a white pad and see how that looks.

    Re: DP Gloss Tire Gel

    For anyone curious I tried it on some trim. Nice darkening effect and it dries to the touch. We'll see how it holds up.
