For the second method, does Wet Coat ruin the wash mitt? Can you still use the wash mitt for washing or does it need to be dedicated only that use now?
@HarpersCarDetailingКүн бұрын
No issues, but might be worth getting a dedicated mitt. Also, thoroughly rinse it after if you are going to wash the mitt with other towels

Hi just a quick question I have a four month old 2024 Astra and I'm wanting to give it it's first wash and polish after the p.d.i clean before I took ownership of the car . And I was wondering if after I've washed it and polished the car would it OK to use Autoglyms ceramic spray on top of the polish, plus is something I must put on before the ceramic spray? Gav.
@HarpersCarDetailing9 күн бұрын
Hi Gavin, I imagine it would be fine to do. It would probably be best to wipe the car with a panel prep beforehand so the spray wax adherers to the paint instead of sitting on the polish. If it was a true ceramic coating you have to wipe it down with an panel prep/alcohol, but you will probably be fine with this spray sealant

Hi. First time watcher. Beautiful car - which pretty much looks good in any color. Curious why you referred to Touchless as an APC? Is it because of its high alkalinity? I’m used to talking about Touchless as a pre-contact wash soap.

Hey man, I only had a little bit left which is why I had it in the pump sprayer. I would usually use it in the foam lance to. The new formula is 10.5 ph down from 12 but when diluted it is going to be close to neutral. It’s a brilliant cleaner and always safe 👌🏼
