    Re: Mistakes Made LETS HEAR THEM!

    I`m kind of new to serious detailing that only stretch a year back. But when I had my Audi S4 -92 2.5l turbo in the beginning of 2000. I first used Sonax hand polish and wax and did not get any longevity out of it. Got my hands on a spray sealant that I don`t remember the name of. But it was a good one and the behavior was like the Sonax BSD. The friends that used it got a couple of months out of it but not me. After the first wash it was almost done and after the second totaly failed. For a couple of years ago I got what was the problem. I always washed with Turtle Wax Super Wash. The thing with that is you take the car soap in the sponge and then wash and a rinse bucket and a new squirt of car soap in the sponge. It`s have a good amount of naptha in the car soap to help with tar sap and so on. That crap is not for maintance washes but for decon wash lol. It left a little wax on the car to the first rain. I had a clean car but not protection lol. And the hours of making the prep for lsp was gone after the first wash. Now I can laugh about it but man what I and my friends thought about why my car was not holding the lsp LOL

    Hey, that`s a good lesson!

    To render things more Accumulator-proof, I have my various spray bottles/buckets/brushes/whatever differentiated in ways that`re obvious to me. Not sure if those diffs would register to anybody else, but that`s OK.

    SWETM- Heh heh, another reason for me to dislike that Super Wash! At least no harm done

    Oh, and [INSERT my usual remarks about how my wife and I loved that vintage of S4/S6. She`d still be driving hers had that [individual] not rear-ended it in a big way.]
