    Re: Wolfgang Si02 rinseless wash leaves haze

    I never used their SiO2 product but I use Wolfgang Uber all of the time. That dilution ratio is 1 oz per 3 gallons of water. Perhaps you can use that ratio instead. The presoak is not necessary and...
  4. Re: Ultima Interior shampoo no longer available?

    You can get it on Amazon. It is the best and safest interior cleaner. Coupled with a Sonax leather brush it is the best and safest leather seat cleaner.
  5. Re: Dealer added “Paint protection”. Should I get my own instead?

    Re: Truck Panel

    I did work on the panel last year with orange pads and 501 but it never completely cleared up the finish. The yellow pads seemed to work.

    I used the 501 only with a Lake Country yellow pad. It was the first time using the Griots G8 and it is a powerful 3” machine.

    Re: New Car Towel Recommendations

    Definitely the Griots PFM for drying. It can be costly but it is a superb towel. I can dry the entire truck with one towel and never have to wring it out. Get the extra large edgeless type.
