QUOTE(g88 @ Feb 16 2016, 05:36 PM) washing machine spinning is too strong and will tear your sponge in no time,. Yeah, I'm kinda interested to know this too.Currently I just let is soak over night but somehow this works for Polish but not for Wax. For Wax, I have to squeeze the remainder out and do a quick rinse with washing detergent. Using normal clothes washing detergent  Any advice? |

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Feb 17 2016, 09:01 AM) Now, waxes and sealants (including glaze & AIO's) will be more stubborn. Best solution I found is to use Dawn Power Dissolver as posted by bro slk, using the same technique as above but with shorter dwelling time...like 15 mins or so. I've tried using All Purpose Cleaner, Degreaser, Dish Washing Liquid, baking soda, distilled vinegar, etc. but nothing was able to do an effective job as DPD. DPD is a bit expensive though, so, best alternative (but not as effective) is to do multiple soaking and cleaning with dish washing liquid. Yup, done this (usually take me 2 - 3 times squeezing the wax out and rinsing them).Probably will try the warm water trick + TOP. Else if too much hassle, will get the DPD This post has been edited by linkin182: Feb 17 2016, 09:06 AM |

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Feb 18 2016, 08:52 AM) Small tip for using DPD for cleaning foam pads. Dilute it 1:1 (1 part DPD with 1 part distilled water) in a sprayer bottle. DPD is a little thick/concentrated and quite strong. It's quite effective even at that dilution. Should we use gloves if we plan to use DPD? |

QUOTE(stevenng97 @ Feb 19 2016, 03:26 PM) hahaha ok thanks for your information will try google it Here's another tip you may find. Always start on the lowest abrasive compounds if possible then slowly work your way up to more aggressive ones. Some compounds will require several passes or application depending on the technique/equipment that you use! This post has been edited by linkin182: Feb 19 2016, 07:50 PM |

QUOTE(garrick86 @ Feb 24 2016, 12:50 PM) not sure why but everytime i apply carpro reload the oil stain is very hard to buff away eventhough it is just 1 spray for whole bonnet, any advice? I might drop in a tip for spray on waxes is to spray a little on the MFB Towel to have a more even application.i had to use carpro eraser to lighten it everytime. That would prevent you from over spray on the panel and have an easier wipe on (damp side) - wipe off (dry side) later on. Shake well before applying of course |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hi bro, its a vinyl wrap if I'm not mistaken. Some would use plastic to cover it, but on most cars these are just sticker vinyls. This post has been edited by linkin182: Mar 7 2016, 08:42 AM |
