    Re: Could PNS be ruining my microfiber?

    I never wash my wax and sealant towels together with all others, especially glass towels which get a dedicated washing all by themselves. What type of washer are you using? I have an industrial...

    Re: DP Glass coating issue?

    I had a similar problem and it ended up being wax residue. I'm not sure if this is applicable here but once I stripped the glass using glass polish and IPA the coating started working as expected. ...
  3. Re: Anything different about cleaning and protecting a farm tractor?

    Forget about the hydraulics. That would be like protecting your shock absorber piston rods.

    If you have painted surface I would wipe it down with a good spray wax like OCW, Fuzion spray wax or...

    Re: Dashboard cracks why?

    I know a little about Japan having lived there for three years in total. There is no way a car of that vintage is going to be garaged for 16 years. It most likely spent a great deal of time out in...

    Re: Dashboard cracks why?

    Let me get this straight. Is the car a 2004 (i.e. 16 years old)? Being garaged for 4 of 16 years should explain it. 16 years of exposure to UV will make the dash vulnerable to cracking. Did I...

    Re: The simplest thing can gain a customer.

    I don't leave voicemail because I don't know when the return call is coming and I move on at that point. If I don't have a choice I leave word but say that I prefer text.

    Re: AIO Cleaner/Wax Users

    AIO is also good for preserving your clear coat if you're just looking for a polish touch up and not a full polish. I use it once a year and always top with wax (Collinite and OCW weekly in my case).
  10. Re: How to machine clean a dry erase board by Mike Phillips

    I tried this but it failed. I used McKee's AIO and IPA. I've tried Collinite, Fuzion and OCW. Still can't get dry erase to wipe off cleanly. I think my board is beyond hope.

    Re: Washing with Microfibers?

    I never had trouble with the newer bright yellow Costco MF. It is 360 GSM. The older 300 GSM was a bit harsh but the newer stuff works well on my paint. I retired mine because they got old and...

    Re: The OCD Method of Washing Microfiber Towels

    I have a front loader. This method does not work, either. Luckily it has some very long wash and rinse cycles available. A full cycle with heavy duty runs about 3.5 hours and the towels get very...

    Re: McKee's 37 Headlight Coating
