I've used QS a few times and have been pleased with it until one time I found some "dots" of what I thought looked like overspray in an area adjacent to where I used the QS a few days earlier. It took me many passes of polishing to remove them. I attributed it to QS overspray that didn't get leveled and am shy to use it now, unless the rest of the car is covered. Has anyone else had this happen?

High Five for Revive
babaron replied to puttingmyfootdown's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
Let me tell you that Revive is my must have for my very white Pacecar Camaro. It shows many little black spots after driving and I have found that Revive is the only thing that will clean some of these spots off. Gets the paint REALLY WHITE!! Fantastic product! -
This stuff never ceases to amaze me. It is now my go to when I want to REALLY clean the paint after claying or even instead of claying. It takes off crap that nothin' else will.

No, not stained. They get all manner of particulate crap in them when I wash the Daily Driver, esp. the one for the lower half of the car. Seems no matter how much I rinse and rub, it doesn't all clear.

I can't seem to get my wash pads completely clean using the method described in the Adam's website. Could I just toss them in the wash with my microfiber towels?

When to detail spray when to WW?
babaron replied to FarbeyondDriven's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
The purists will say: Detail spray,in this setting, is only for gloss enhancement on freshly cleaned paint finishes. Waterless Wash is for removing any dust or VERY LIGHT dirt accumulations. Otherwiswe, -
guage face cleaning
babaron replied to babaron's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Aren 't the glass towels a bit harsh for the plastic? -
I've read lots of good info here on how to remove scratches from radio face but I would like to hear from those who have a safe way to clean the faces after they are perfect. I have not touched my guage cluster since the car was bought new 2 years ago so I know they are not scratched but they are getting foggy and dusty and before I touch them, I want to know of a way to do it without scratching. Thanks!

Snapshot of an Addict
babaron replied to teamcrossworks's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
When I ask my wife about buying more Adam's stuff, she just says "Go ahead, it'll come in handy during the insanity hearing.":lol: -
Short answer is yes. The shallower area will most likely come out completely with proper technique and patience. The deeper scratched area will improve but not come out completely. It would be helpful if you could post a pic of the area close-up. If you need any advice with technique, you are in the right place.

What do you do Before Putting your Car Away?

Why the rubber flooring? -
tried something else, but now back
babaron posted a question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
I read about and then tried the Poor-boys spray and rinse wheel cleaner and initially thought it worked great. But after burning through a whole $13 bottle in 2 weeks, and finding that the wheel was only about 90% clean, I'm back to Adam's Green Wheel cleaner with brush and have a new appreciation for it. Take my advice if your considering it, it's not worth it. -
Is the Microfiber Revitalizer HE compliant?
babaron replied to Chadg's question in Towels, Brushes, & Accessories
While we are on the subject...do we just add it to the main soap tub with our normal detergent or the pre wash or add it to the wash barrel directly? I'm not real knowledgeable about these things. -
yeah, it has a little, maybe 1/8 or a 1/16th inch, not much, though.

think mine is pretty tight. let me go check it...
