How do you use diapers?

It's best to fold the plastic back and use some frog tape to hold it. If you cut the plastic off, more than likely the absorbant material will come out when using them. It took me a couple tries, but I finally got a nice method down.. I cant stress how important it is to use a clean diaper. The first couple of times I used some that were soiled, and the stuffing just fell out with VERY LITTLE pressure applied. I wouldnt use too much product either, once they absorb to much it becomes chunky and can leave streaks in the finish.. Hope this helps..



What would possess you to even hold a "soiled" diaper any longer than necessary, let alone try to use it on paint???? lol
 
Without question, this is the strangest thread I have yet to see here.



I cant believe you are actually serious. Who have you seen use a disposable diaper, what did they apply, and how did it turn out?



Do they also scrub their paint with the squeegee at the gas station?
 
We use diapers as a final step when using a spray sealant. It's incredibly soft, doesn't scratch and doesn't create a static charge like a microfiber towel.

Geez, i know it's funny, but some of you guys are being pretty rash. I have seen a couple of concours videos where the lsp was removed with an actual diaper, like one you would use on your child. The videos I watched were linked through this site.



I won't lie, when this thread was first posted all of the funny things ran through my head. We need to remember people are here to learn and if they are treated this way some may never come back and never really have a fair chance to be a great detailer.



sorry about the preaching
 
Do I use diapers? Depends.



You know, if you were hardcore, you'd detail with diapers while the baby is still wearing them.

I know I heard it said in your video but, do you disposable or the cloth? If you do use disposable please explain the process of prepping the diaper for use.

Haha, nope definitely not disposable diapers. Soft cloth cotton diapers only.

Note the white Velcro tabs in the upper corners...





When using a diaper do you guys just fold them over? Do you cut them off?







One advantage with the disposable ones is that when you are done with them you can just dump them in any K-Mart parking lot. Apparently they have some kind of recycling program going on there.
 
I don't know where this guy saw someone use one but he can't be serious. That's too funny. The only time you use one is if the car is a P.O.S. i'm sorry i just had to say that. :hifive:

The commitment and responsiblity that was bestowed upon me when I purchased my car. I am bound to keep her clean, fit and better than new. I figured the ammonia in the urine would act like an IPA wipedown.. only better.
