  1. I know I dont need to do it, I was just wondering if it can be done. Sounds good, I am going to give it a shot as well.
  2. Can you mix apc with rinseless wash for a strip wash? I did a full strip wash the other day but havent had time to polish yet and want to make sure i got all the old sealant off.
  3. I go through about a fourth of a bottle any time I use it. Going through an entire bottle in just one wash is WAY to much product being used. Spray, let it sit for a couple of minutes, agitate and spread around the product, let it sit a bit longer, rinse. No way you should be using anywhere near one full bottle per wash if just using it on the wheels.
  4. Awesome, thanks guys. I just got the rinseless wash over christmas and have only tried it out once but am still a little concerned about not wanting to push the product to do too much. Thanks for the responses!
  5. I tried searching but had no luck. With rinseless wash, can I use it after it rains and rain has dried on my car? It rained about 2 days ago and I did a rinseless wash 2 days before that so would it be okay to use rinseless wash here or will I need a full two bucket wash? Thanks for the help in advance.
  6. I have the sponge and also clay. In my opinion they each serve their purpose. The sponge I will take and use if I am doing a whole car that has nothing I can VISIBLY see that needs to be take off because I feel that is only what they are safe for and it is easier to hold. Anything like tar, tree sap, or any other type of contaminate that I can visibly see I ALWAYS use clay because it is a lot more safe to use in my opinion.
  7. Revive would take away any of those water spots that would appear if the water happened to dry. Do this in the shade if possible to prevent it, Like I said before, take away step number 3 and save yourself some time and product. If you are doing the presoak then I would hit the truck with your pressure washer first to remove all of the bigger debris, then presoak, then wash. Doing this will help soften up the harder stuck on gunk when washing and give you more lubricity for your wash mitt.
  8. I wouldn't worry about the initial presoak with rinseless. Also take out your step #3 and just go straight to claybar. No need to waste detail spray and time drying the car when you are going to make it wet again with whatever your choice of clay lube is. Squirt it right on top of the water and go to town claying. For #5, you can do a quick rinseless wash as well if you would like and hold off on the alcohol wipedown until after you polish if you wish to do so. Revive gets done before the Liquid paint sealant. Any paint correction is always done after wash and claybar, then you add on your waxes/sealants/glazes. Personally I think that is too many waxes/sealants/and glazes topped on each other and could potentially dull all the shine a bit instead of bring it out more. For durability I would go Brilliant glaze and then liquid paint sealant and hit it with H20 every other wash after that. Or for shine and show I would go with Brilliant glaze and then buttery wax. Side note: Some people like to put glaze on top of their waxes/sealants but I prefer it under since glaze has small filling properties. Either way works and is correct, just whatever floats your boat. Other than that, you seem to have the process down just off of the quick glance I took. Go for it and put up pictures
  9. Someone had backed into my Pontiac Grand Prix and left without a note or anything so I went to the junkyard and got one off a same color Grand Prix that was there. The bumper was dirty so I didn't get that great of a look at it which is my fault but after getting home and washing it, there seems to be cement or something like that stuck on the bumper right by where the black fender meets up to it. it is a painted surface so I tried clay bar to see how that would work but it didn't seem to do much. Any suggestions? I was going to try full strength APC but I doubt that would do anything. Any help would be appreciated
  10. Mine is doing the same. I just try to be more careful with it and not squeeze by the handle too hard
  11. So far my only concern is the gray foam handle seems like it will loosen or separate from the yellow foam if you squeeze out the water. I went to squeeze mine and hear/felt the two separating so I stopped and just let it air dry. Nothing separated but just a future concern.
  12. I agree with dylan, the ease of releasing all the dirt and debris is well worth the extra $5. I am just going to tinker around with it to try and get a little more suds since I dont have a foam gun/cannon
  13. I never thought about that, I was too hung up on the lack of suds. I will give it another shot in a couple of days.
  14. Unfortunately I don't have a foam gun or cannon, I will try adding some soap drops in between the channels. Thanks for the tip!
