What do you use for waterless wash? I usually use ONR.

sorry to hear about the rain.

i remember just last week we had that 90mph storm that spewed water inside the house from the windows.

hope rain is nice and just waters the grass and lowers temps!

for waterless wash i use Griot's SprayOn CarWash. for the tires i just sprayed onto some paper towels and wiped. i suppose you can take an old soft bristle tooth brush, spray product onto that, and agitate around the lettering. i shall try that next time around. i got 99% of the grime off though with just paper towels. and with the fresh dressing, i can't tell i missed anything.

Mr.kenchan,

on the kids stuffs, some parents just don't say anything, I believe they are either too laid-back to teach their kid(s) or they've given up

Hello Mr.GaleForce, Mr.happytheman, Mr.Fire, Mr.LunaZ, Mr.kenchan

, Mr.gurneyeagle, Ms.Pintsize725 and Everyone!!

hi mr.alcheng!

sorry to hear about the rain just enough to dirty your car. i hate it when that happens especially if sun comes out afterwards to leave water stains.

i think it has to do with culture too. these indian kids in my neighborhood have zero adult supervision. parents dont say anything even if their kids are screaming and screwing around, peeking into parked cars in the visitor's lots putting their greasy hands on the glass, cutting through people's yards with their bikes, playing on people's driveways, etc. etc. etc. it is insane.

thanks, mr.alcheng. i will check this out. i was trying to pull off the map light assembly the other day to CF wrap it, but could not get the thing off as there is a bracket on the otherside of the ceiling. i gave up. but while i was doing the work i was wondering how to remove the lenses.

Bucketlist2012 · 07-07-2012, 03:44 PM

Thanks guys...Yes I will buy the gallon jug.

I may buy their Wax too. I usually #7 car and then #26 it. But I may pick up their wax , have you tried it ?

Side to side, not circular motion...I am not Karate Kid,and I hate swirl marks on black paint..

Thanks for the tips...I come from the land of old school, and it is time I try the new stuff..

Mr.GaleForce, I am not sure can we buy Griot's in Canada, I've been looking for it since last Winter but I found this in Canadian Tire:

I found they are the same thing as the GoClean also do clean&wax, and so far it works very good for me, I am on my 2nd bottle already.

Of course, I use waterless mostly in Winter

I've not used the wax yet, but I'd bet a dollar that Ken-San has!

I NEVER use circular motions on my car. Even the mere thought of it sends me into fits of shuddering. Mr. Miagi can suck it, cuz he taught Daniel-San the wrong way!
