Can we talk GSM ? Just short of a drying towel, where would you use a slighter shorter but much more denser towel like on a 16" footprint in the 800-1100 GSM ration. As opposed to a slightly longer nap *may snag a bit or 2 on emblems*, but more the typical 480 Edgeless towels.

Just grabbed some brand new towels out of my towel stash..... Same exact towels used - I thought they were clean and soft, but boy, these new ones out of my bin are 3X softer. Just for the helluva it, I decided to do a semi uncontrolled test. Old towels which I thought were soft but feel StiFF...

I have like short handles right angle sweep broom .....been looking for alternatives/new ones/replacements for years. Keep one in the trunk of our cars. Easy peasy sweeping out the floormats, trunk, etc. Bristles are just perfect - not too hard , not too soft. Everytime I go to the container...

I don`t keep cars long enough for oxidized headlights. However, I have my project 2002 that could use some headlight polishing. Dare I buy a dedicated headlight like McKees Headlight Polish or should my 3D aat polish be use as good. Plan to tackle this with my Rupes 75, Blue and Yellow MF, and...

Whether it Gtechniq, Gyeon, etc - have ya`ll noticed a DIFFERENCE in each manuf. lineup when they have a ~coating~ that is specific for trim ? To analogize, is it like the bodyshop painting plastics, where they add flex additives, etc to deal with it being plastic/rubber. And in some cases, my...

Anyone still using part A or B in your detailing regimine. Past couple years, it`s been IronX followed by Nanoskin or clay, depending on the situation. Was doing garage cleanup and found a 1/2 jug full or A and B. Prob. will use this up on the next one.

It`s been awhile but last year when testing...even though I prefered finest on paint, it seemed like Optimum over trim in thin layers was much better success than Finest. For those that have a combo, what are ya`ll using on trim these days coating direct, or specific like Dlux trim dressing...

Who makes Edgeless Cut MF towels for post polish wipedowns. Low nap Off the top, MM Yellow Fellow, and a couple of greens/blues I picked up on the ACC store back when David was running the forum. Probably going to get new ones from TRC but I figuered I`d check in with ya`ll

Have a brand new set of CR Spotless DIC20 Resin. Just looking to trade for bottle of CQuartz or Gyeon and or I`ll just charge you shipping+a smigen for the resin

Found some jugs - some even unopend of OID, 425 and Prima Hydro in the mountain of products. I stopped using them for a reason but can`t recall why - lotsa stuff has supplemented it I suppose.... I tend to use UWWP as my ID of choice these days, and or Gyeon Cure. For those very familiar with...

Just got one of my rides custom upsholstered....shop asked me do I plan to condition the leather. I told him I used to be that ~guy~ that did the whole clean, condition route but at the end of the day coated leather is coated leather. This is what I use on the interior *I have alot of other...

I took a hiatus on detailing.....and have started up again... Currently have the 15 and mini. Just ordered some mini MF pads to the stash I'm curious for all you pros and joes. What are your rupes pad/polish go to combos... I'm in need of new polishes and pads. My previous stash of most...

I have a good half dozen bottles of P21S Wheel Cleaner that I have not touched in the last 5-7 years.... I've resorted to using other stuff that requires less scrubbing, etc. Recently I acquired a used Ridgid Tristand. One of it's primary use is making threads on pipe --- and when you're...

I must have hit something overnight - a can/jar of grease. This is fairly thick grease. Most of it is on the wheelwheel and there are splatterd marks on the paint. I did not want to *touch* it, so I gave it a heavy dwelling of APC 2:1 on both the wheelwells and paint 3:1 on the wheels. 2...

Please move if necessary mods, but I don't think it was ok to put it in the Swap Meet Forums. What's a good forum ya'll can recommend for me to sell my CR Spotless, Mytee HP60 extractor and some other misc detailing tools.

So who's let their guard down after having a couple ~munchkins~ in the mix. Hell, I have everyone from the wife down to my mother know to use the door handles when closing the door. Yesterday, I broke down. It was so jammed in the SUV, I ended up throwing a movers blanket uptop and strapped the...

I would normally just use TAW on a long soak/rinse but I think this oil needs a bit more *umph* to it to clean. Doing some spring cleaning, and the engine bay in my ///M has got a bit of a grease buildup due to a unspotted oil leak. I'm a OCD freak, so whatever hoses don't come out clean, I...

GRRR.....another perfectly sound SS mitt relegated to wheel duties. I have the worst luck. On my DD, jet black, sometimes I can't see where there may be road tar, etc. Especially with the brutal winter we have hd, the underbody, lower body is caked with just sand, salt, tar, asphalt , etc from...

Okay. Starting to get warm so I'm getting more into detailing mode. Riddle me this. The wheels are powdercoated in a custom *black/grey* with flake to it. Topped with a semi matte clear powder ontop. I was not careful during one of my Tuf Shine Sessions and just had some drips/runoff onto the...

I've never come across a wheelwheel dressing that lasts. The last product I had high hopes was the Tuf Shine Trim Coating. It lasted a bit longer but nothing marginally better than other products... On my SUV, which has a bit more *exposed to the eyes* wheelwellls, this detail on look is more...
