  1. I guess if I was independently wealthy, NO!!! But when you need to spend so much on towels to do specific jobs, why buy the large when the mini will do? It's called price comparison or evaluating ROI. Besides, someone gets paid to write and post this information. Millennial's, doesn't anyone take pride in their work anymore?
  2. If you relook at the video, the car Adam is in has a tint strip. He applies the product to the tinted portion as well.
  3. Thanks. I hadn't gotten that far yet. I appreciate you taking the time to provide the info.
  4. Let the shining begin. I hate glossy wheels as well.
  5. Now if they could get ApplePay working. Its great if you buy one item. You can hit ApplePay and you're done. But if you want a few items and have to enter a Discount Code, you're screwed. ApplePay is NOT an option. In my opinion it defeats having an ApplePay system. Does Adam's really want to drive me to buy ONLY one item and check out?
  6. Obsessed Garage has my "vote". I am buying more and more from him. I have done a lot of price comparisons as well. He does have a slight mark up but it isn't that much. I am buying from him more now than Amazon. His videos and personal discussions as to why he chooses an item and his frankness on costs is awesome. This is one small business I support 110%.
  7. Welcome aboard. Let the shining begin.
  8. I thought you didn't use clay on a color change vinyl wrap?
  9. That's what I thought as well. But the response was 1" length of tape where the weights go.
  10. Typically with new wheels and new tires you have no idea where the weights will need to be placed. You say a 1" length of tape in the barrel where the weights will go. Before balancing you have no idea where the weights will need to get stuck. Do you mean a 1" width of tape completely around the barrel?
  11. Thanks. I just love how the store shows a white towel with a black border and it says to use a gray borderless. In my opinion the store is what is confusing, not the forum.
  12. I need to watch the video again. My wife was watching TV so I had it turned real low. So I'll review it again. Thanks for the input.
  13. No apology required or necessary. I learned additional information by watching the video and reading the complete thread. I actually learned Mega Foam was better for ceramic when I watched the video about What Makes a High Quality Car Shampoo. The one where the chemist explains it all. It was in that video I saw the Mega Foam would be better for ceramic coatings. It just frustrates me as the more I review the Store side there are so many contradicting or not addressed bits of information. There are MF towels listed that provide two different sizes. The Car Shampoo site says it is safe for ceramic but then there are other places where it doesn't even mention ceramic. It just frustrates me there are so many errors on a professionally prepared website. It makes it difficult for a novice to navigate without spending a boat load of money on products that are detrimental to what you are trying to accomplish. I have no worries about a company having a lot of products for sale. There are different people doing different things that need different products. Having said that, in MY opinion the store should focus on educating the buyer that certain products do not play well together and results may not be as expected if used with XYZ. Its great for selling product, but not great for identifying potential results if used on ceramic and there is absolutely NO mention of vinyl wrapped vehicles. Okay, I'm done. It's all good. I really appreciate everyones help. I have it now. I have Ceramic Coatings, I think I should ONLY use Ceramic products. Anything else there is a risk.
  14. It does, its all of the other stuff that has me confused still. I purchased Car Shampoo not knowing MegaFoam was the better choice. I'm learning there are other MF towels that I don't have for ceramic products that I now need. I know I'm not the only person with a vinyl wrap. I'm just finding it difficult to understand what to use and not to use. I'm not a detailer or chemist. I know how to wash, dry and wax (old school) a car. I was told I needed to get it ceramic coated so I did. Now I'm trying to learn all over again. Too many products and when you watch a video it isn't always clear if that applies to ceramic. Just me trying to figure it all out. I'm just finding vinyl wrap doesn't really get addressed. Sorry for so many dumb questions.
  15. Thanks, I went and looked at the past thread and watched all of the videos. I have a gallon of Car Shampoo plus a 16 oz bottle. I think I'll use it until I get everything sorted as to what to use on Ceramic. I have the Lexus with ceramic on paint and the Subaru with ceramic on vinyl wrap.
  16. Good tips. I'll check the link. THANKS
  17. Have a color change vinyl wrap on complete car. So the same rule applies, no clay and compound on vinyl? The Yellow is Gloss and the Black is Satin unless it is the factory plastic. See my original question:
  18. Can't go wrong with everything Obsessed Garage has to offer. You can buy pieces, parts or the whole kit. He has a small mark-up but once you get to know his objective you'll soon find out that everything he offers is the best product available. I just happen to live close to them now that he relocated to Florida so I just walk in and get what I need.
  19. That's confusing. I only say that because all of the videos and Blogs say to start with 2 dry MF towels. Use one for wet and the second to buff. So are you saying one should be a waffle weave and the buff a plush? This is complete opposite of the videos. They say to use two borderless gray most of the time.
  20. Okay for the Ceramic Boost. Which towel for the Ceramic Waterless? Same procedure, wash or soak immediately?
