I use those open-pile shaggy cloths for washing. They absorb a huge amount of water and present a very soft interface to the car surface. They are yellow, so you can see the dirt on them. You can turn them over to get two passes on the washed area before rinsing. And they have very fine straight fibres so dont trap particles as far as I can tell. Washing mitts are not a great idea in my opinion - too much surface area, to many crevices for dirt to get trapped, too bulky to rinse thoroughly, take too long to dry, and the fibers are not straight.
New subscriber, can i ask, ive poloshed my car and wiped off the excess polish and in the sun it looks smeary, if i run my finger through its like a greasy residue, will an ipa or panel wipe get rid off this, thanks.
I bought 10 Korean edgeless deep pile ultra plush 500gsm microfibres, can’t remember the brand but they look just like the eagle edgeless ones , but there’s so much lint coming off them , looks really bad on my black car , maybe they are ok on other colour cars , tried everything to get rid of the lint , like add vinegar to wash and bicarbonate soda, soaking them , using a dryer to dry them , put one in boiling water, lint roller, I did wash them separate of course but no matter what I tried the lint won’t go away , they are new and hopefully someone can come up with a solution ?
After polishing try washing in the new Bilt Hamber ceramic infused shampoo. Seems to leave an almost flawless finish. I applied through a snow foam lance. How long it lasts is anybodies guess. Love and peace ✌
Forensic Unplugged I had a go at my first 2 stage polish with new das 6 pro at the weekend, only managed to get the bonnet and wings done 😅 it’s a long process but the BH cleanser fluid felt great before applying wax, wish it came in a surfex HD 5 litre price hack 🤣
One question. Is there a wrong way to use a IPA wipedown? I mean, does it matter if you dont use the IPA strait away after every polishing set or do you polish the whole car then do a wipedown with the IPA?
wipe off with cloth.. spray IPA mix (no more an 25% IPA) onto the panelwipe it over panel. flip cloth to clean side and buff the film till it vapes. and surface looks clean
a pre wax cleaner is a product you put down and buff before waxing the car. A pre wax cleaner can also be referred to as a glaze or sometimes even a AIO. they typically contain abrasives and solvents to clean and burnish the surface and fillers to mask swirls. A polish on the other hand is a typically a pure abrasives used to correct the paintwork and you buff the polish off and degrease and you leave nothing behind. Although its only recently polish came to mean abrasives.. technically a polish as an industry term is not always abrasives... but thats the rought gist of it.
If you don't do the panel wipe does it effect the finish between polishing say if you use scholl s3 gold xxl and then moving to s40 and then move to a wax like soft 99 fusso?
theres a difference with durability when something is applied to a properly clean surface. An oily surface the material doesnt bond. Yes things like old school oily paste waxes its not so important because the wax layer gets eroded off the car a lot quicker. but any more modern protection product that needs to properly bond to the surface it makes a difference.
@@ForensicDetailing Angelwax Perfect Polish has the consistency of milk, but somehow it manages to be the best paint cleaner out there. For me anyway. I applied Britemax Vantage straight on top 4 months ago and it's still beading well now.
@@ForensicDetailing thanks I did notice applying soft 99 fusso it kind of buffed of to easy with no kind of grippy feel which I did feel while doing previous cars.
With Covid there’s been a shortage of IPA. So I tried odorless mineral spirits and was dissapointed. Around 60-70F and didn’t flash off how I wanted. Anyone used denatured alcohol “fuel”? gonna try it soon
@@JWL-UK 🤣🤣🤣Yes, I am. The thing is that working remotely from home allows me to see fast the notifications vs. when I was at the office with different meetings and conferences and calls, I had to let them go and watch later during lunch or back home.
Miss seeing the M140 in your videos, but fantastic content as always.

Sir, thanks for sharing. Great video.
hi jon...where did you buy your light from?
Lovely seeing you have bought back Old Beryl the Red Peril. When did that happen? Well done Mister Forensics. Top bloke.

Great beginner video. Miss the Red.
I use that Koch as an IPA and never had a problem with it. I use it towards the 30% range rather then 20%. Removes all product easily
I agree I change cloth every 2 or 3 panels or it just smears
1:14 I bet they do the same to a napkin and then throw it at the table! Classy 😂😂😂
Thanks, Jon!
What’s your thoughts on Bilt Hamber Cleanser-fluid?
great but its too expensive and you dont often hear me saying that about bilt hamber.

Jon, how do you find Koch Chemie SIL? what dilution do you use it at ?
1:4 mate. its just like IPA. dont use it neat Declan treat it like 99% prf IPA.
Love it, such a good video.
Hi Jon, another great video. Could you tell me the difference between a pre wax cleanser and a polish? Or are they the same thing?

Should you use a panel wipe after using SRP?
no, you will be breaking down the resins which are designed to fill and stay on the panel.
@@forensicunplugged4295 Thanks.
@@bennevis21 I do before applying Fusso Coat and it does increase its longevity. If you're using SRP as an AIO then just leave it.

just buy Koch Chemie SIL its price has stayed the same and you can think of it as 99% prf IPA and its cheaper now than 5 litres of 99% PRF IPA
Have I gone back in time??
Either that or Jon has bought his old red Beemer back
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Get a life, Humberto! You're always the first in every detailing channel these days! ☺️
