dang, u like a store.

i use OneStepSealant on my dd's. that's why i use the orange pads and just toss a few of them after use.
it's good stuff if used with random orbital. fast and easy.

kenchan · 06-04-2015, 04:03 PM

fast and easy = 3hrs

normal folk = 3hrs to wax a car?!

kenchan = 3hrs to detail a car?!

(impossible!)

I get more even coats and also faster doing it by hand vs machine...

kenchan · 06-04-2015, 04:03 PM

my full details take 24-28 hrs. i need to break it up into 2-3 days.

now ask me again why i dont like motoring my Z in the rain.

madwi · 06-04-2015, 04:04 PM

really? via machine is the way to go for me. even the natural wax using the red pad. i just rotate it until the wax is nice and burnished evenly.
i use my 3" ro for tight spots.

then wipe off using distilled water + MF detailing towel.

i lol at folks using SpeedShine to remove wax they just put on. more like u just removed 50% of the wax u just put on.
