At least with a replacement the issues are somebody else's problem. Windshields and headlights are things I just replace assuming parts are available, and I'll probably sell the vehicle if they're not.

Aw gee, really sorry to hear that. I learned so much from him....RIP Ketch. Wonder what'll become of his Super Coupe? He really loved that thing.

No issues from using 303 on the blades? I've never done anything except clean mine and they last pretty much indefinitely. Well, yeah...we're not driving all that much these days, but still...

Setec- Any significant diffs with those vs. v2.0. I've heard that they're more compatible with LSPs (e.g., Collinite, which v2.0 utterly trashes), but that's all I know to be different.

Setec- That dilution doesn't streak or cause other issues (I don't use it on glass), and I sure won't mind if I ever use up all of that ONR v2.0.

Setec & Vegas1- Predictably, I'd keep them if they haven't dried out. Especially the 05937. The only reason I'd waver on the 05933 is that there are newer compounds that are at least as good in any respects I can think of. The 05937 OTOH, I simply *LIKE*. No excessive oiliness, decent...

Lonnie- AFAIK, Garry Dean is still in business. I guess I'll know for certain when I try to reorder the IUDJ. I tend to :rolleyes: about Garry's online persona, and I know nothing whatsoever about others who use his stuff, but the product was so much better than the (version of) ONR I have...

I just finished a white vehicle that didn't need to be...or end up...100% Autopian. I.e., under the right conditions I can still see a few spots of marring. As noted, reasonable flaws on white aren't visible to the average enthusiast. I'd use somebody's AIO (like that Menzerna 3-in-1 if you...

I use 0.75oz. ONR + 16oz. water. For the MF, I won't be of much help as I'm still using up the gross of [whatever GSM they are..] cheapie ones I bought from [somebody...the Rag Co. maybe? dunno..] long ago. No, I don't use something really plush, these are a medium-nap until they wear down and...

Desertnate- IIRC (reasonably confident ;) ), the Rupes Yellow is very similar to the Cyclo (should I now say Cyclo/Rupes?) Green pad that we used for everything. And yeah, when I used the current GG Orange Boss Correcting Pad, I did think to myself that it was a bit firmer than the Cyclo...

Short Version: I usually do the exterior first, but if the interior is so bad that I'll be moving dirt around getting in/out, then I'll attend to that first so the dirt doesn't cause issues if it somehow escapes the interior and gets on the paint. Washing: I *always* do the...

I've used the Red GG Waxing Pad as a Finishing Pad with OK results. BUT generally I don't like the uber-soft/small-pore Finishing Pads, even for Burnishing (which I basically never do any more, but *good memory* Lonnie : ) ). As long as a pad is gentle enough that it doesn't have any cut of...

TGates- It is indeed interesting to hear how products perform for others, and what a diff there can be! DesertNate- Like TGates, I always top the various AIOs with *something*. Maybe not FK1000P/etc. but at least a spray LSP, and those are getting pretty good these days. Just using one as a...

[...even though..] IF you have enough ZAIO, I'd just stick with that unless you have a hankering to do something different just for the sake of it.

Ah, I wondered if anybody would mention that one! I'm currently doing the spare dog-hauler with it. Minimal correction, maybe a *BIT*, a tiny bit, more cut than ZAIO, it'll do something but don't expect miracles. FWIW, I only tried it as part of a "do something different that might even be...

I'm planning on reworking my Home Touchless approach(es), see if I can speed things up a bit at least for the Maintenance Washes. Got some new pressure washer stuff and finally bought a Foam Cannon. We'll see what I end up doing and how it works out.

I'm glad the Forums are working right again, and I do plan to stay active here. There just haven't been any recent threads where I had anything to contribute, and I'm plenty busy with things other than Detailing.

Ah, with the Forums working again, it sounds like more old-timers are returning!

Hey Chilly :D Welcome back!

I probably already posted this somewhere on this thread, but a quick OTC option is Resolve Urine Destroyer. It needs a *LOT* of rinsing, but it's always worked fine for me, and the previous dog's last year sure put it to the test. Never damaged any surface I used it on either.
