Hey everyone! Here is how I prevent water spots when working on dark paint in direct sunlight! Please Like, Share, and Subscribe for more great content! Mr. LAD www.millionreflections.com B.millionreflections@gmail.com
I finally figured out the correct way to use it. Used hard water to clean my hearse and this product. It came out great! I dilute it 10:1 but add an extra ounce for the road
Great video....hey do you think after foaming and using the mitt you could just snap on another container that has the spray wax then just rinse the remaining foam/dirt off with water that has the spray wax mixed in? Then you wouldnt have to go back over it with the hand bottle and additional spray off. Just wondering if you've tried that and if it worked or not. Great video! Thanks!
Great question! So... Theoretically it would be a great idea. But it would take quite a bit of water to rinse off the soap and that could mean a lot of unnecessary product being used. You can just dry the vehicle with product on it but it can gum up your drying towel over time... I’ll experiment with your thought though!
Thanks for the video. I was thinking since McKee’s N-914 can also be used to neutralize hard water in a bucket, I have been thinking what if you prepare some of it diluted with water in a pump sprayer and spray the entire vehicle and then dry. I am wondering if this could help.
Yes it can. I will say though the biggest benefit of this product is the spray and rinse application. That’s is kind of the secret to the sauce. If the N-914 can work like that then great. Since i don’t think it will, you’ll need to work quick. Doesn’t hurt to try!
Definitely gonna try this product. But man your headlights those headlights….just take 30 mins and get them a little clearer…people/customers look at everything
Can this be used ever when you goijg to ceramic coat a vehicle? A new vehicle and customer doesnt want to polish it. So i was thinking a good panel wipe would take it off since its not a strong spray wax
Just a quick question. I have a new black Jeep Gladiator. I put a coating of Turtle Wax Spray Flex as a base coating. Being my first black truck, I'm having trouble with water spots. How does using the Superior Spray affect the Spray Flex wax base coating?
So it depends on your method of clay bar… if you like to foam the car down and use that as your lubricant, use F4 afterwards. If you use a spray lubricant on a dry vehicle, go ahead and dry using F4 before hand. The protection won’t be enough to get in the way. A good IPA or panel prep will pretty much remove any residue
Hey Mr. Lad I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I too am a mobile detailer in Michigan. I use formula 4 exactly the way you do, not as a protection product but simply to help buy me time to dry the vehicle. I have my own on board water tank. My question is do you know if I could just add a cup or 2 per 50 gallons of water and skip using it out of a spray bottle. Basically treating the whole water tank?
So theoretically yes you can. Just remember that will probably change the foaming properties if you use a foam cannon or even just when filling your bucket. Also, although yes you might buy some time, it’s still only very little product. My thoughts are that it’ll probably do some good, just maybe not a whole lot! Worth a try! Thanks for watching the vids. Glad they could be useful! 💪💪💪
Awesome video. So I do detailing as a hobby I’m planing to apply turtle wax ice seal n shine but I have hard water at home. Can I use this product to prevent water spots and after apply seal n shine on my car? Will I still get a good application?
Awesome man! Thank you... So this product is not a very durable product. More of a maintenance product. With that as the case I’d do a panel wipe down with an IPA solution or panel wipe of choice. It should cut most of the Formula 4 away. Seal & Shine is not joke none the less and I’ve noticed how it bonds very well with little preparation. Thanks for the question!
Used this product as described on the label 10 to 1 and didn’t rinse. Left serious streaks like dried soap. Strange they would recommend that when it looks terrible. Next time will rinse.we’ll see. Thanks
Of course it will. But this stuff isn’t very strong, a good panel prep will remove it. You should be prepping the panel regardless anyway before a sealant
Its really not a wax, It is a product that has chemical that removes calcium from the water. There are better products to use as you rinse off. But this removes the calcium as you wash in hot day. Cool 👍👍😃😃. Not smooth at all but it does good job keeping the water spots away.
@@mr.lad-detailingtricksntip is it the 1900 psi 1.2 or 2000 psi 1.2? I noticed they make 2 with the extendable handle. one that lays down and 1 that sits upright.
Short answer: yes Long answer: of course ALTHOUGH there is a polymer film on top of the car from the F4SW... If your looking for a quick job, just go ahead and wax on top... If you are looking for longest lasting results, at the minimum do an IPA wipe down. I’ve used Seal & Shine on top of this and it still lasts forever. I’ve used other products on top and haven’t had the longest lasting results... OVERALL! always use do a panel wipe for better surface adherence. Best results always step from a light polish before hand which this product will not interfere with...
@@mr.lad-detailingtricksntip thanks for the speedy reply I was looking to get into the business of washing and detailing and was wanting good chemicals that's not going to break my pockets but perform good aswell any recommendations that you have
So I give reviews on many different chemicals on my channel but to break it down... 1) super clean degreaser 2) Meguiars gold class 3)turtle wax Ice Spray Wax 4) chemical guys VRP All of those are available at Walmart and you can literally start a business with just those chemicals and expand from there... Good luck!
It can, although it wouldn’t work as effectively. You would need more product. I used to do that all the time with bead maker. I’ve switched since then
Could you do this: 1. Rinse the car. 2. Foam the car. 3. Wash car with mit...then, at this stage, apply the product over the soap, while the vehicle is soapy? 4. Spray off (soap and product). 5. Done. Would that work??
So I think that’s a bit of a stretch, although worth a try... If there’s not much soap on the car, sure give it a try. But if there’s still a substantial amount on the vehicle AS WELL AS the residue, I doubt the product will cut through... It’s worth a try though!
