I have APC+ and EK coming early next week. Here's the idea: on a cold engine, liberally spray APC+ (diluted to 4:1, of course) all over. Agitate if necessary and rinse with as little pressure as possible. Now, after that, should I do a little drying before the EK? I'm guessing yes, but...

Know how Sonus has an acrylic QD designed to work with Klasse? There's no harm if I use other non-carnauba QD's with Klasse, right... you know, like Meg's regular QD, or maybe FI, or that kind of thing. Right?

I just ordered some APC+ and Engine Kote. Interestingly enough, I've had my 'Bring for about a year and a half, and the engine has only been properly cleaned... maybe once. And that wasn't even by me. Hence, that part of my order. ;) You know that insulation-looking thing on the...

Yeah, that pretty much sums it all up. Very subjective, I know, but I'm curious. I have a black car (as in my sig). Which would you go with for best looks (in this case, "best" would be brightness + depth, with a bias towards depth): (a) AIO, SG (layered), P21S (layered) (b) GEPC, AIO...

So... yeah. I'm gonna get a PC (hopefully by next weekend). Standard pad kit from CMA, velcro backing, velcro plate, all that good stuff. Anyway, I've got a few swirls on my 2001 'Bring (clear coated, of course). I'm a little worried about using a machine on my paint like that...

I don't think I've seen a discussion on here about how to apply Klasse with a PC. Or maybe I have and forgot. Anyway: I know from you guys and David's video of how to work with things like SMR and a PC (which I will hopefully get next week sometime). Smear it around, start on a lower...

You guys that have a PC and have used a yellow pad w/ SMR or other abrasive polish: in reading the e-book (that I just bought today, actually), he mentions how doing this will leave lots of swirls. Which is, of course, what you're trying to get rid of. Could someone clarify this for me a...

Yup, strange question, I know. But I just thought of it. What do you think would happen if you used SG on the tires after cleaning them? Any good? Harmful? (...) (Probably not good, I know, but an interesting discussion nevertheless.)

I was just reading through some old stuff here on the forums, and I started thinking, how do we really know that sealants actually layer? I mean, is there any way to prove that SG really is layering? Or for Zaino users, can it be proven that Z-2 and Z-5 are really layering? Is it worth...

Yeah, it's a very subjective question, I know. Still wanted to ask, maybe get some answers from people that have used both. People that have used / seen both: how would you describe the difference in look, if any? (And what color car was it?) How did topping go? And finally: Between...

I asked this in another thread, but I kind of need a quick answer... because if I can do this, I'm going to do it tonight, I think. So, can I use No. 7 and P21S over my 1xAIO and 1xSG? I'm tired of swirls. And SMR by hand doesn't do much for me. So... can I? can I? can I? :p

My apologies for posting this in the main forum instead of one of my other two threads of a related topic, but... Which will do a better job of filling swirls, a glaze (no. 7, GEPC, etc.) or Klasse SG (which I've been using and have lots of swirls!) Also: Will No. 7 strip off the Klasse I...

mmkay, a lot of you probably already saw / read my "I'm sick of this crap" thread. (Cliffs Notes: lots of swirls, black car, south Texas heat, no PC, SMR by hand isn't doing a damn thing, I want to glaze them.) So, I'd really like for you guys to pick a combination here: Glazes P21S...

First off, to the people that have silver cars or any other... "understated" color: can you even see swirls and stuff on your paint? How hard / easy to see them, if you can at all? And to my rant. I'm fu*@ing sick of swirls. I just finished doing my 'Bring, and sure enough, swirls. Lots...

Other than Intel's thread in the archive, a search for "layer wax" turned up nothing. I remember reading on here about some people who didn't think that carnaubas could be layered like SG or another sealant. So, when I finish with SG and top that with P21S, will I be able to layer P21S? Or...

You know the 100% cotton Viking chenille mitts? How do you guys wash those? Machine, hand, just a free rinse... what?

Well, I've been using the K-twins for a while. I was just wondering something... kinda hoping there'd be some that have seen both situations and could comment on which would look/be better in their opinion. Subjective, I know, but I'm curious. (a) K-twins. AIO, multiple layers of SG...

http://hazard.com/msds/index.php (Pretty decent site I found for the MSDS to some of the products used and discussed here)

Yep, a few things I was just wondering. Some of these have nothing to do with detailing, but oh, well. ;) 1) You know the DIY wash stalls? With the "high pressure soap," "high pressure rinse," and so on? How harsh is that soap on the paint? Is it necessary as compared to a rinse only...

Use about a quarter size drop per 2x2 foot section, right? And then work with it until it pretty much buffs itself off? Same side of the towel? Switch to a clean side near the end of it (before final buffing)? And about drying: in the midst of the "Perfect Drying Technique" and everything...
