Adam's True Blue vs. the Original
CRQuarto replied to mikegeaney's question in Towels, Brushes, & Accessories
I've stocked up on the older towels, I have about twenty of them now. I like having more surface space to work with, personally. That being said, however, the new towels are definitely softer, and the microfiber edges are even more paint friendly, which is a bonus in my book. The fact that the towels fold into a smaller square makes it a lot easier for me to hold when buffing and wiping off polish and such, even if it makes me feel like I will have to change the towel sooner. Enjoy guys and gals, it's another new and improved product that is certainly better! -
Rich, where the heck do you find this stuff? :lol:

Do you mean one of those drop in bed liners? Or like, a Line-X style spray in liner?

Should the new yellow glass towels be washed.
CRQuarto replied to 11chevz71's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
This is probably your best bet. At the very least, wash your glass dedicated towels separate from your other towels, as the waxes and polishes that are in your other towels can leech into the glass towels, even after washing them properly. Just a tiny amount of wax residue will leave streaks, and foul up your glass towels forcing you to re-wash them. Use a little APC as well when washing them to ensure they are squeaky clean. -
Let it cure for the time they recommended. If anything happens in the way of bubbling or lifting of the paint in between now and then, the body shop will have to fix it. If you mess with the paint between now and then, they can use it against you. You can correct whatever happens in between now and then easily. Congrats on the fresh paint!

Buffing over stickers

Read through THIS thread. There is some great info there. -
Help.. APC on my aluminum wheels....
CRQuarto replied to Learo2000GT's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Use a MF towel to buff the wheels with polish #1, then use another MF towel to apply polish #2. Do a small portion of the wheel like this to test to see if it removes the scratches, I am positive it will. I've used the metal polishes on aluminum wheels like that before with beautiful results. -
Help.. APC on my aluminum wheels....
CRQuarto replied to Learo2000GT's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
If the wheels are not clear coated as was asked above, use the metal polish #1 with something a little more aggressive in terms of an applicator, such as an old white T-shirt. This gives the polish a little more bite. Once you have removed the offending residue, follow up with #1 again with a MF towel, then polish #2 to renew that brilliant polished look. -
Pc Questions..

No problem, don't worry the thing is going to shake. My hands itch sometimes after using the thing for a couple hours, LOL. -

Yeah, I think dirt had just been created a couple years prior, so grass was all the rage!
