    trapped dirt with wash mitts?

    I understand that pretty much 95% of the people on this site use wash mitts of some kind. What would you say to those who state that while wash mitts trap dirt particles very well in the pile, the dirt gets trapped so well, it doesn't get rinsed out enough and the dirt stays trapped in the...

    the results of our detailing work

    I had the wife's bonneville in for repair last week and when I picked it up my mechanic said someone wanted to know what kind of wax I use on it. We talked for a while and then I left. There have been other times as well where people at work have asked me what do I wash my vehicles with. I...

    fabric softner on regular household clothing/towels

    Since fabric softner makes microfiber absorb less, would this hold true to cotton towels if softner is used? I'm wondering if all those people who use softner on their bath towels are actually doing more harm than good? They don't realize that using softners are actually causing their towels...

    dryer machine

    Who dries their microfibers in the dryer until they are completely dry? I usually will use the dryer until the towels are just a tad damp, then line dry in the basement. I'm wondering if I should change my methods? Do you think there's less static electricity doing it part dryer/part line dry...

    magnets on paint

    We've all seen the magnets that people put on their vehicles which say "Support our Troops". People have asked me if I would put one of these on my car and I said no. Not to be disrespectful to our troops, but I'm worried about pontential paint damage. Am I correct? I thought water would...

    removing grease from paint

    Sometimes after I wash my vehicles I'll notice grease that has kicked up from day to day driving in certain areas usually on the lower rocker panels. What I usually do is take a wet microfiber with my gold class shampoo and wash the area until the grease is gone. My question is this: Do you...

    what's more aggressive: ssr1 or vm?

    I was wondering which would have more bite for scratch removal? Also, would vm give just a tad more depth/wet look before topping with ex or would ssr1?

    I bought 50 of Robert's green detailing towels last week as my microfiber supply is getting low. After washing the silverado and the wife's car yesterday, I decided to put these towels to the test. I used these towels with spray & wipe to touch up some areas that had dried water spots and also...

    waud making waffles absorb less?

    Since this topic was brought up recently I decided to make a dedicated thread for us to talk about this. How many people have experienced this problem and why do you thinks this happens? I for one have never had this problem. I'm curious why some have the problem and some don't.

    looking for answers

    I have a question regarding bonding issues. Why does this happen? We all know that it's ok to top a sealant with a carnauba, but it's not wise to it vice versa. I don't understand this. If both products eventually end up on the paint, why does it matter which one goes on first?
