Sorry to hear this. Wish kid be much better soon & wish you sleep well soon.

Goodluck on Rupes reassembly & paint.

Are these waterless washes that specify QD dilution ratios, or are you just experimenting to find a ratio that works as a QD? (if the latter, what ratios are you using?)

Thanks.

I have tried to draw on that picture in your post:

That has solvents in it though (albeit likely very diluted).

I'm not against solvents, but maybe heat is a better option. Not sure.

Also, that R3 seems to have great reviews.

Anyone here use a heat gun when removing rubber marks from paint? (rubber marks like from tires when tracking a car, burnouts, etc).

Does it work? If so, what's your technique and about how hot do...

In these pictures it is okay to use rotary (? I believe that is nano rotary?) to compound/buff around those slats like that?

Specifically, the risk of burn-through on top part of those slats is...

Eureka! I did not take car color into account. That could indeed be why one wipe often seems like enough to me these days.

A lot of QD/WW products have directions that say

Got it. Thank you both very much. Time to look up carrier agents :D

I have included below an Autogeek video with Mike Phillips & Forrest Toise.

From 5:02-5:10 Forrest Toise is wiping off the lubricant (Mothers Instant Detailer), and after the second & third wipe...

Thanks, both of you. This is exactly the information I was looking for.



That sounds like a blast!

Also, applying the LSP to everything seems like a great call. As things age I feel like the...

Hello and thanks for the great post.

This seems like a very user friendly tool. I am wondering if you have any insight to share about how the smaller pad size and/or using an extension affects how...

M40 says it cleans/protects while leaving a natural sheen.

Just curious if you cleaned with someone else and then used M40 for that result, or only used M40?

Also, looks great!

Strangely, it is maybe the only product I've tried from them that I haven't liked very much. I felt like it would streak more easily than I like.

I could have been the problem, though.

Lets say you detail a car to your satisfaction and you have put some wax on it. Then you park the car indoors until the wax goes away (I'm assuming it eventually would, but correct me if I'm wrong). ...

This is pretty obvious in hindsight now, but I didn't put two and two together. Thanks.

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has information or experiences to share regarding diluting car wash shampoo to a rinse less wash? Is this possible, or are there issues?

I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by "open sides" but the key takeaway seems to be moving the contact point, which is what I try to do in these situations.

I was just wondering whether Mike does...

Thanks for the article, Mike.

Will try them. Thanks

Thanks guys

After using the Wookie's Fist I go through it and check for anything trapped in the fibers. Usually all I find is some small flecks of dirt deep in the mitt (which means the Grit Guard and the mitt...

Is there a reason to have both of these towels (aside from having different colored towels for different purposes)? Or is the choice between them just personal preference?
