I have applied the first go round of Opti-seal to my car and want to do a second application tomorrow. Would OID be ok to get the dust off? Would QD strength ONR be better? May try to put one coat on first thing tomorrow and then one in the early evening for a full three applications to get...

Have the first snow here in the KC area. My car is out at work and the carport it stays in is open on one side. What's the safest way to remove snow from a car without damaging the exterior?

Watching the Cowboys Packers game and wow. Who is paying the refs to call this game - vegas, the mob, the packers? What a travesty!

What would you guys recommend for doing ONR washes (the drying part) and doing QD's? TIA, Tony Oh and BTW, is there a new autopia coupon code? the one I found in an old thread didn't work :(

I've got Optiseal on order but i really want to get my new ride looking it's best. I know that prep and polish are the keys. However, I'd like to know how OS looks on a finished product. Found a couple of pics and I'm impressed but I want more dag nabbit. So, can you post some pics of cars...

Well, no big deal I guess. But I just got a whole bunch of new pink towels - or should i say newly pinked towels. I had gotten a red microfiber as a freebie a while back with an order and finally got around to using it. I had forgotten it was in the load and threw it in with the rest of my...

Seems like newer cars have more and more engine covers. My wife's MDX has some and my new IS has almost a full cover under the hood. Here's the question: what, if anything, do you use to dress it?

I saw on the OPT website that their glass cloth can be used to get rid of bug splatter on the paint finish. I've never liked using the strong chemical bug off kind of stuff and not had much luck removing all of it with just washing. Does using their (or any) glass cloth without chemicals...

Been using ONR for about 8 months now and really like it. I'm re-examining my detailing as I start on a new car. Like what I've been reading about OS and OCW. So, can I trust my new ride to use that trio on it?

I've been using ONR for a while now but have a new question. In the past when it has been time to strip old wax, I've done a full two bucket wash with P21S Total Auto wash. Is there a better way to do it? I've thought about doing an ONR wash then spray the P21S on each panel and hit it with...

Well, signed the papers for a new car this morning. Should arrive middle of the week. Got a Lexus IS C 350 convertible in Ultrasonic Mica Blue with black leather interior. So now I'm developing my plan to keep in beautiful. I have a bunch of Prima products and have been happy with them so...

Someone please help me with the math of mixing up ONR as a QD (public skool educataion). If I remember right as I type it's 6 ounces to a gallon. I have a 32 oz bottle I want to mix it up in. How many capfulls or oz should I mix in?

Well, my car sat out while we were on vacation and it's rained on the dust since. My wifes car has been to Yellowstone and back. Was going to wash them traditionally but I've gotten so use to the ONR I just haven't wanted to get the hose, buckets, etc out. Should I just go ahead and use the...

There are a lot of thread now talking about pollen season and how to take care of dust and pollen on the finish between washes. Don't think there is a consensus but I'm still trying to figure out a plan... How do you handle the problem?

In cleaning leather seats and leather bits in a car, how do you tell what is leather and what is vinyl, pleather, etc. I ask because I remember when I got a car (think two cars ago) the front of the seats were leather and the backs and door inserts etc were fake leather. The car I wondering...

I would like to take care of my personal daily driver but at the moment (and for forseeable future) won't have a full day or two to do the whole polish and wax routine. Now I've gone the route of getting started and then not finishing do to rain or work or whatever and that is discouraging. I...

Been thinking of trying my Black Wow on the black rubber floor mats in my Mini Cooper. What do y'all think? Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance, Tony

I know that freezing will effect/destroy some detailing products. How about heat? For marital bliss, I'd like to move some of my detailing stuff out to the garage/car port thing. It is enclosed on three sides (basically a garage without a door). First summer in Kansas but I imagine it will be...

Been using the Prima Monster Fluffy for a while as a QD and now ONR towel. I'm wondering how it compares to the new Zaino towel. I like the sound of the zaino towel except for one thing - the part about expecting some fraying. Not sure I want to spend 8 bucks on a towel and have it fray. I'd...

Ok, so i've seen a lot of discussions on what wash mitt/ towel/ sponge to use to wash with when using ONR. I have only seen a couple of instances on what you use to dry with it. I have been using a Prima Monster Fluffy for the first pass and a Waffle Weave for the second/final pass. The big...
