There are just as many members who have used it (via the proper methods/technique you refer to) and have still gotten marring in their paint. The funny thing about autopia, most of the people who disagree with the popular posters don't post themselves for fear of being ostracized. So when you go and read over there, keep that in mind.

And yes, technique is important. But you can't remove swirls with pi$$, no matter how good your technique is.

autopia really isnt my place of posting. im really only big on read here on e90 and dc. but i post autopia as some will find its larger population helpful. but i prefer to stick to the more calm detailcity.



this isnt an excuse to forget about hose and bucket, but it is a solution when they are not available or not possible like in the colder climates.

ive found that getting a sprayer and presoaking the paint prior to using qew really helps.

collinite 845 is also very durable in the winter and states to be detergent safe so im sure that might also shield away the nasty chemicals in touchless washes...
