Some of the main towels I use. CarPro BOA The Rag Company Eagle Edgeless The Rag Company Platinum Pluffle (Discontinued) The Rag Company Creature Edgeless - I use these for rinse-less washing, drying, sealant and wax removal, and interior cleaning, almost everything. For me these are a good...

GSM is more about the weight of the towel. So it comes down to do you want a thicker heavier towel or a thinner lighter version? In my experience the GSM is not necessarily as important as the brand / type of towel. If you stick with a reputable brand that has a quality product you should be...

I mostly stick to Microfiber Madness & The Rag Company towels. They would have all the different types and sizes of towels you would need.

yeah with changes in machines and technology I don’t know of a lot of 4in pads and plates anymore. I know that there are some. Here are some and if you look at their descriptions some tell you what the pad size is and the backing plate needed as well...

I think this is the info you are looking for. The old UDM doesn’t have much power so I would go with a max of a 5in pad or possibly a smaller 3 or 4in. https://www.autogeek.net/lc43125.html I was never really a fan of the CCS pads but they will work...

I would be interested in hearing what products from both Optimum and McKee's you have used and your thoughts on each of those products. To me it is odd to come into such an old thread (2019) and make a statement without any explanation.

I agree with TGates ^. An AIO is a time-saving one-step that Cleans / Corrects and protects. If planning on using a Panel Wipe then I wouldn't be using an AIO; since the point of the AIO is to leave protection and using a Panel wipe would be undoing some of the work. Also if "stacking"...

I don't consider anything band new that is over 2-3 months old unless it simply hasn't been driven. As soon as you start driving it we are introducing the elements and bird bombs, bug splatter, dirt, etc... So I would be putting something on asap.

The popularization and mainstream use of most panels wipes didn't come around until the introduction of coatings. Before coatings were introduced most all of the common Panel Wipes didn't exist. So can you use them? - Absolutely. Will they increase the durability? - Possibly...

I still think panel wipes are a waste for most Waxes and Sealants. I really only use panel wipes for coatings.

My number one choice has been CarPro Eraser. I think Gyeon Prep is similar. I have also used Gtechniq Panel Wipe, Optimum Panel wipe. I get similar results from all of them. Some a slicker or seem to be stronger. But in the end I think it’s finding one and using it and changing if you don’t...

I don't think I can speak on this as a whole. In my experience it seems to be the case of our modern world and the "Google" generation. So many people are now so used to being able to ask Google / Siri / Alexa a question and getting immediate responses and never seem to double check if the...

I am seeing this even here and on other forums. People want someone to just give them a list of the "best" products and tell them what to do vs researching and learning for themselves.

Bring back the group chat option....

I have always had great durability from CQuartz UK 3.0. In the past I used it @ 2-layers as well as topped with CQuartz Ti02 which would now be replaced by CQuartz SiC. I had my double application last 4+ years before I polished and redid the application with something new. For history CSL...
