    Ran out of Detail Spray for polishing, any alternatives?

    in Paint Correction & Polishing

    Posted

    Oops! I should have been more thorough with my question. Yes I am aware of the uses of detail spray, through the last few years I have used almost every brand in the [affordable] industry and tried every different polishing method. I honestly forgot that Adam's suggests misting the pad with DS to prime it, I don't use Adam's polishes and have different methods.

     

    With a DA or Flex polisher it works to just prime the pad with the product itself. Not saturating the pad [as that reduces the cut provided by the pad itself] but to create a lubricating barrier to avoid marring induced by dry buffing. Distilled water can be misted onto the pad or polish to extend the life of the polish and reduce dusting, but that would only be used if you needed either more working time or less dusting.

     

    My only suggestion to the OP is to wait for the DS spray to arrive or pick up some OTC Detail Spray. When it comes to priming a pad during polishing the brand of DS isn't incredibly relevant.

     

    U don't use Adam's Polishes....really..

    Drying dilemma

    in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination

    Posted

    Unless you're doing a two bucket wash, do NOT towel dry the vehicle. There's no touch less wash on the planet that gets ALL the dirt off.

     

    What is a "Micro Towel" anyway?

     

    If anything, you should be using WW if you must hand dry the car after a touch less wash.

     

    Air drying is a great way to get hard water spots all over your vehicle too.

     

    2 bucket or don't bother gets my vote.

    I agree totally. If anything get yourself a electric leaf blower if you want a good drying. I love mine.
