I think we would agree that beading is not an indicator of wax on a vehicle correct? For example, how can a new vehicle that has never been waxed bead water? Also, It's been a while since I've used this product, so I don't know if the formula is the same, but megs gold class wax is made to...

1. For those who use clay with a qd, do you re-wash the area being clayed or just wipe it off with a microfiber towel? For example: wash/dry, clay with qd, wash/dry again. 2. For those who don't use a qd, do you use soap & water or just water alone?

This looks like a nice product to have. Any users, and does it still look nice after washings?

I'll do the best I can to describe what this stuff looks like as I don't have the ability to post pics. Recently I've been leaving my boat parked in my driveway and there's a tree right above it. The tree is either oak or maple. I've noticed every so often these brownish spots or stains on...

Who here uses this for clay lube?

Between these two products, which would work the best and be the safest for getting weatherstrip adhesive off of paint and plastic trim?

I've been doing some research on this product by using the search feature. It seems this product gets good reviews, but what exactly is the reason people use this over other soaps? Does it have more slickness and cleaning ablilty than other products? I'm debating whether to spend the extra...

Are these products about the same? I can't decide which to buy, as I have no experience with either product.

My dad got a free bottle of this stuff from a 3m rep at a classic car show in my area. I sprayed it on my Z71 and all I can say is wow. It made the paint darker and wet. I checked the MSDS and it contains water, carnauba wax, butoxyethanol, and IPA. While it contains hardly any, wouldn't the...

Picked up another vroom sheepskin wash mitt today at Target. The computer still doesn't have this product in the system and comes up with no price. How long has this been going on now???

Will soap and water remove sap that's pretty fresh/sticky from a maple tree? What about fresh sap from a pine tree? The sap has not hardened.

You know how when you move a piece of furniture that has been in the same spot for years and it makes an indent in the carpet where it sat? How do you lift the nap of the carpet back up so you won't notice where it sat for the last 10 years?

Anyone use IPA to clean their tires instead of using an all purpose cleaner or whatever else you use?

Does anyone have a picture that shows what oxidation looks like? If there's oxidation on a dark colored vehicle, will oxidation look kind of like a white haze in areas and the paint will be faded/dull? Also, what exactly causes oxidation?

If someone has a link from a former thread about this topic, feel free to share. I didn't come across anything. My question is this: Do car covers do more harm than good? Meaning do they scratch when you put them on and when you remove them if you drag them over the paint?

Just was curious how many people on autopia have their own boat? Where do you go boating and what kind of boat do you have? I have a 1990 Bayliner Capri 2050 with a 4.3 I/O Mercruiser engine. Don't let the year scare you, as my boat is in very good condition. I'm only 2 miles from the big...

Can anyone tell me of some auto soaps that don't have gloss enhancing oils? I really don't want to use this type of product on a convertible top. I'm familiar with raggtopp products, but wanted to use something I can get locally perhaps.

When using this, do most of you use the vinegar full strength, or in diluted form?

If I have either a sealant or wax as my LSP, will touch up paint bond ok? I'm thinking probably not. I'm talking about the touch up paint that comes in small bottles with a brush attached.

Is wetsanding the most aggressive way to remove swirls or defects from paint? For example, would wetsanding be more aggressive than using meguiar's diamond cut compound using a wool pad?
