I've often used IPA to remove waxes, sealants, and polishes at around 50%. Lately I've been wondering if using IPA full strength at 70% would be ok to use. In my opinion, this would be easier and faster, as all I would have to do is pour the IPA into a spray bottle and not worry about ratios.
Is it just me, or does some of meguiar's boat products look the same as their automotive stuff, but with a different label?
For example, their boat wash M4364 looks like their deep crystal car wash. The same goes for their gel wash.
Their flagship marine wax looks like their gold class...
I've been reading how some will argue that to fully remove this type of contamination one must use a decontamination product like ABC, FinishKare, or something else. Is it true that clay will only remove the top portion of the contamination leaving the rest still imbedded in the clear/paint...
I'm sure we all know at least someone whether it be a co-worker, friend, or a member of the family who insists on not washing their own vehicles. So, having said that, which do you think would do the less harm? I was thinking probably the ones with brushes because the touchless ones can use...
When someone has very dry/chapped skin, should one look for a lotion that contains vitamin E, or A, or both? I've noticed some lotions contain these ingredients while others don't.
1. Do paste waxes give better results?
2. When spit shinning, do you let each layers of wax dry to a haze, or do you work it until the product disappears?
3. If you let the product dry to a haze, do I need to spray the area with a QD or distilled
water before removing?
4. How...
Which do you all have? I'm debating whether to dump my mastercard and go with my visa instead. There's no particular reason, but I find having both kind of pointless and I have more of a credit line on the visa. Someone told me one is better for overseas travel, but I can't back that up 100%.
I'm not new to the term, but I'm a bit confused about how it's used. I've read that paint contamination can consist of rail/brake dust and industrial fallout, but isn't brake/rail dust considered IFO? When somone says IFO are they talking mainly about pollution from factories or acid rain?
Let me set the scene here.
My 1997 Pontiac Bonneville with 115,000 miles has had the following items replaced:
6/05 - new fuel pump/sending unit
7/05 - head gasket
8/05 - alternator
9/05 - water pump
My 1998 Chevy Silverado with 93,000 miles has had the following...
About using liquid fabric softner that is. My wife insists on using this stuff, but I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hold my ground. She likes the smell, and how everything feels when softner is used. I've told her when it comes to microfiber, using softner will clog the fibers...
