I'm thinking of picking up one of these kits just for the fact that the sprayer has a water filter built into into. How well does it actually filter hard water? I'll still dry the traditional way, but I figured that this could be a good way at eliminating the possibility of hard water when...

I'm looking for a cheap polish that has some slight filling for marring until I do correcting in the spring. I've seen that Pooryboys has a carnuba blue polish to is supposed to work well on darker colors by adding depth. Since it has carnuba in it, I'm concerned my sealant or LSP won't bond as...

I was looking at picking up some new lambswool wash mitts, and came across the ones that Excel Detail sells. Mitts Now by looking at the images listed on their site, these look almost exaclty the same as the eurow mitts sold in stores right down to the elastic cuff. The eurows are ok, but...

I'm looking at picking up a few more pads for my PC, specifically pads for liquid sealants ad waxes. I've been looking at the red LC CCS pads, but I haven't heard of many using them. Most of the time I hear of people either using the blue or grey. To me they seem like a good choice since I...

I'm making a list of products and polishes I want to try in the spring, but I'm not for sure which route I want to go with polishes. I don't want to waste must money on polishes that claim to work, but in actuality suck. I've heard many great things on 106ff, but it is a little pricey so I want...

I was hoping to get some 845iw on my car this weekend, but when I got it today the 845 seems very watery compared to many other waxes I've ever used. So I'm thinking this will really affect the curing time of it. What's the minimum temperature range you all have seen that works best with...

Has anyone here used the red CCS hand applicator pads? How soft are they in comparison to typical foam applicator pads? I was considering purchasing some for areas to seal and wax by hand, but I don't have a red pad I can care the foam to.

I've been wondering this for a while, but is it pointless to use a paint cleaner if one intends to polish afterwards? Wouldn't the polish itself remove any kind of contaminants or impurities? What do you all think on this?

Which microfibers would you all recommend that work great at removing polishes and waxes, but most importantly will not mar the finish? I've been looking at the Cobra brand towels, but was unsure of their quality. I've used Meguiars towels in the past, but they turn to crap after a few washes...

I'm looking to stock up on polishes and waxes for the spring, and I'm in need of a carnuba. I don't want to spend all kinds of money on different products, then find out I don't like them afterwards. I know carnubas are typically know not to last long at all, but what have you all found that...

I've got some of the LC CCS pads, and they are sealed in plastic from LC. Would it be a good idea to thoroughly clean these pads out before their first use? What process do you all use for new pads?

Ok, I've been hearing a lot about the 106ff lately. From what I understand this polish will do really well at removing defets even though it is considered a finishing polish and is applied with a white or gray pad. Is the 106ff really easy to use, even for someone who has no experience with a PC...

What is the best way to clean microfibers without ruining them? I have some cheaper microfibers that I'm not too concerned with that I washed using a bucket of hot water and Tide laundry soap by hand. I then rinsed them using cool water and air dryed them in my laundry room. Now they feel...

I plan on going the Zaino route, but I need to get rid of some marring first. As far as abrasiveness how does ZPC compare to others, shch as the SSRs, Menzerna, etc.? How well is the ZP-C are removing defects with the PC? Should I look at something else for polishes, or is Zaino picky on what it...

From what I've read, Z5 needs to be applied a clean surface with no oily polishes or carnuba to adhere properly. So what can be used as a filler polish or a glaze to fill marring before applying Z5, and still keep the durability of Z5?

I'm somewhat confused on some of the LC CCS pads for the 7424, and when they should be used. Mainly the grey, blue, and red pads. What do each of them work well for? From what I've seen all can be used for waxes ad glazes, but surely there's differences between them. Which pads would you all...

I've search some threads, and some have said they have experienced water spotting with Z5. Is this very common with vehicles using it? Does Z5 not provide the same sort of protection as other sealants or waxes? Could the protection be achieved by using a synthetic type sealant first before...

It seems all of the washes out there have different pH levels. How important is it to select a car wash that has a neutral pH, and what are the effects of using a wash that has a higher pH level? Do the higher pH levels strip away wax and protection quicker? I was curious on a few products, so I...

I've been using Z7 as my wash soap, and it seems like it's remving my wax. Is the Z7 wash compatible to use with carnubas, or it is it more designed for use with the Zaino line of sealants?

After reading a lot of posts on here from new people using the PC, I'm almost scared to use it now. It seems buffer trails and holograms are common when using an agressive polishe to remove swirs. Since my car is GM bright red and easily shows imperfections, I'm not jumping in first thing on it...
