I have an IK9 foamer sprayer that i`m having issues with. It seems like it`s constantly getting clogged and doesn`t spray well. I have to take it apart and clean it out for it to spray properly. What can cause this? Maybe i`m not mixing the car wash soap well enough? If that`s that`s case...

Where`s the best place to get microfiber towels? I don`t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money but I also don`t want them to scratch? Where are people getting their towels?

I`ve never wanted the hassle of a pressure sprayer but I have been intrigued by the snow foam. I purchased a foamer that`s used with a garden hose, it never worked very well. I have now purchased an IK 9 pump foamer. My question is, do people spray the foam on, then rinse, then do a 2 bucket...

I recently applied Cquartz coating, I noticed the directions say to throw away your microfiber after removal. Is everyone really doing this? Is the worry that the coating will leave something hard on the towel that will scratch the paint.

I recently acquired a new car, the hood and roof have PPF over it. Should I apply CQuartz UK over the top of the PPF or just leave it as is? I thought i remember reading on here to not apply coatings over the PPF as it changes how they are designed to sheet water off of it. The film is Suntek.

Last weekend I polished my car to make sure I removed any remains Optimum Gloss Coat. I then went about applying Cquartz UK, I was a little rushed but I thought I followed the directions. Seemed fairly easy to remove, when I was done and pulled the car out into the sunlight I noticed quite a...

What`s the easiest way to remove previous coatings? I applied Optimum Gloss Coat 2 years ago. I`m thinking of trying Carpro Cquartz UK 3.0. Is there a way to get the previous coating off without just polishing?

I`ve been using OPC for the past few years. How does Cquartz Uk 3.0 differ? Are they the same type of protection? How does durability compare? Ease of application?

I`m looking for a wheel cleaner that will work well with black BMW and Porsche wheels. I can`t take any chance of damaging the wheels so it needs to be safe. I have been using the regular cleaner from Griot`s. Is there anything better or should I just stick with that?

I`ve been out of the detailing game for a bit. The last coating I used was Optimum Gloss Coat. Is this still a great coating or is there something that`s better to try? The OPC was very easy to apply which I liked and durability has seemed to be great.

I just put my first coat of Optimum Gloss coat on my car, if I want to throw a second coat on, how do you do it? Do you need to let it cure a certain amount of time before applying the second coat?

I`ve had Optimum Gloss Coat on my cars for a 2 years. I`d like to strip it off so I can apply a fresh coat. What do I need to use to take it off? I have a few places I need to polish so i`m sure that takes it off, but what about the rest of the car? The front of my car is wrapped and I did...

I`m considering buying a foam gun that attaches to a garden hose and have a few questions. I wash in my garage, does it spray all over the place or is it pretty direct? Secondly, how do people use, do you spray the whole car down and then wash it off, or do you leave the foam on and then use a...

I`ve had Optimum Gloss Coat on my cars for 2 years. I`d like to remove and reapply. Do I need to start with a Chemical Cleaner or an Iron Remover? Does this take away the need for claying? Is it 100% safe?

It looks like most foam cannons are made to be used with pressure sprayers. Are there any that work as attachments on a garden hose? Also, once you`ve applied the foam, do you rinse it off before you start using a mitt and other car wash, or do you just start wiping down the foam?
