    Opinions on Wolfgang Auto Bathe? (+ list)

    Hi All! Haven't seen many reviews of Wolfgang's Auto Bathe car wash and I'm wondering what you guys think of it. I've tried ten different ones now and it's right up there with the best of them. Just curious to see if you guys feel the same/differently? My favorites (best to worst): 1...

    What do you like under EX-P?

    Most of the cars I've done are dark but my ride is metallic silver. I've currently got the WG twins on and I love the look. I've also done AIO/SG and AIO/NXT but WG is still my fav for now. I like experimenting though and I really want to try something clearer and EX-P looks intriguing...

    Wolfgang by hand vs PC?

    Been reading some posts saying that applying NXT by PC yields better results than applying by hand. Has anyone done both hand and PC application of Wolfgang and noticed any difference? I ask because Wolfgang is my current fav, partly because of its looks but also because of ease of use by...

    Contemplating (sort of) detailing full time...advice?

    Ok. Right now I've done several cars (friends and acquaintances) and gotten paid but only about half of what I normally would charge since I"m just learning. The thing is, I've actually contemplated the idea of detailing full time. However, I know next to nothing about the business side of...

    Will 50/50 isopropyl/water remove NXT?

    My friend and I are going to start working on his Civic. Paint in decent condition but needs clay and a polish but he doesn't want to polish. I'll be using WG twins so pre-polish should cover up some swirls. He already has NXT (3 coats.) I want to start clean. Question is this: will a...

    Is polishing *always* a good thing?

    I've done about 7 cars now and my routine has been the same everytime. Wash, clay, polish, wash, glaze/pre-wax/pre-seal, wax/seal Worked weel for me so far but now I'm wondering if I'm doing my customers a disservice by always including the polishing step. All the cars I've worked on have...

    Claying *after* car is sealed?

    My friend just bought an 02 Acura RL. On advise from her husband, she immediately sealed with AIO/SG. However, when I saw the car for the first time, it didn't the look I'd expect from Klasse. Then I got suspicious and rubbed my hand on the paint. Turns out she didn't clay (says husband never...

    Anyone seal windows on the *inside*?

    I WG my windows and then Z-6 them and it works wonders in the rain. Does anyone use sealant on the *inside* of the windows? I ask because the fingerprints from passengers drives me nuts. Will sealing/QD'ing the windows on the inside help with fingerprints? Or am I being too anal? Any...

    Curing vs. Re-coating

    newbie question... Is there usually a significant difference in the time you should allow between layering multiple coats vs. the time you should allow for curing? I'm asking specifically about Wolfgang. From searching threads, many recommend putting on multiple coats of WG. However...

    # coats of WG before no improvement?

    Getting ready to WG my 04 Siilver Acura TL. Specifically chose WG 'cause it's supposed to look deeper than Z and I need all the depth I can get since car is silver. Car is a daily driver so I don't really plan to put on a wet topper (like LS), just keep layering on coats of WG. For...

    Can poly sealant go over Diamond Gloss?

    Just got a new 2004 Acura TL (silver). Had Ziebart put a Diamond Gloss coating on. Despite some of the horror stories I've seen in posts here, the shop here in AA did a pretty good job and for the most part, I'm happy with the job. Pics: http://homepage.mac.com/maecrispy/PhotoAlbum7.html...
