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:
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...
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...
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...
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...
Appreciate it! Feel free to pass my prize along to someone else who tried. I'm pretty stocked up on detailing stuff and don't really need anything at the moment. I was just bored and wanted to play...
Thanks! Yeah, I definitely see myself using Essence as a base for all sorts of products in the future. Only knock is the cure time from a productivity perspective, but I may try topping it sooner...
Finally took my car out of storage and had a chance to use both these products. I've had my bottle of Essence for a while now but this was my first time using it. Paint was already in excellent...
Thanks for the update! I'm finally going to get a chance to do a whole car (or two!) with this stuff this week. Likely on top of Essence, which I'm also using for the first time. Both vehicles are...
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.
