Frequently Asked Questions

Can Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze remove scratches?

Bi-Tron Global
Yes, if they are minor, light scratches. It will eliminate the tiny "feather" scratches caused by many car wash brushes. The product does not contain any ingredients which can fill deeper, more serious scratches.

Why is it possible to apply Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze over a dirty surface?

Bi-Tron Global
Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze contains wetting agents, lubricants, protectants and detergents which combine to soften and emulsify surface grime. Tri-Wash® bonds to dirt molecules and protects the cleaning surface against scratches with a protective layer of lubricants

How do I care for my vehicle between Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze applications?

Bi-Tron Global
You need two soft terry cloth towels. Wet one with water until it is almost dripping, then lightly run over the area to be cleaned. DO NOT APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE. The dirt and water will not stick to the Tri-Wash® on the surface. Now take the dry towel and lightly buff the area dry. That exclusive Tri-Wash® shine will be immediately restored! If your car is extremely dirty with mud, pebbles, or any other foreign matter remove it from the surface with care.

How durable is Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze?

Bi-Tron Global
A vehicle surface protected by Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze will bead water for a year or more. When applied to paint on a new vehicle, then reapplied twice a year, the paint will not fade. On older, extremely oxidized paint, Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze may need to be applied as often as every 2-3 months, even though the paint is still protected and beading water.

What happens if Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze freezes?

Bi-Tron Global
Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze has been subjected to repeated low temperature tests with no damage to the formulation. However, it is recommended that Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze be stored at room temperature at all times.

Do I need to shake the Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze bottle before use?

Bi-Tron Global
Yes and no. If the product has not been used for a long period of time some of the ingredients fall out of solution and need to be remixed before use. Otherwise, shaking the bottle is not necessary.

What other surfaces can I use Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze on?

Bi-Tron Global
Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze can be used on any hard non-porous surface. Do not use it on leather or fabrics. It will do a great job cleaning mirrors, countertops, glass, jewelry, gold, silver, brass, granite, tile, steel, aluminum and anything else you can get your hands on. If you do get some overspray onto a porous surface such as leather there is no cause for concern, just wipe it off before the product dries. No. Such over spray is unavoidable.

How many waterless washes can I expect from a bottle of Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze?

Bi-Tron Global
A 32oz bottle of Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze should easily clean, polish and protect 10 medium size vehicles. Of course, the larger the vehicle, or the worse the condition of the paint, the more Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze you will use. But remember, a little goes a long way!

How often should Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze be reapplied to keep a vehicle looking good?

Bi-Tron Global
Once a month application is recommended for daily drivers. Of course, that depends on the color and condition of the paint, the weather conditions and the vehicle owner. Some people like their cars cleaner than others!

How economical is Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze?

Bi-Tron Global
If a 32 oz. bottle of Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze results in around 16 cleaning/polishing jobs (2oz per wash), you're getting a bargain at a little over $2.00 each time. Compare that with cost of having your vehicle detailed! The biggest saving is in the most valuable resource of all, water!

How soon can Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze be applied to a repainted vehicle?

Bi-Tron Global
We recommends you wait 90 days during which time thinning solvents evaporate from the paint, allowing it to cure.

Will Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze work on boats and fiberglass?

Bi-Tron Global
Yes. With each application of Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze, the boat will be easier to maintain, particularly against water spots.

Can I use a buffer when using Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze? What buffer speed is best?

Bi-Tron Global
Yes. Use a conventional or orbital-type buffer equipped with a foam polishing pad. Do not exceed 2,400RPM when using an orbital buffer.

Should Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze be removed while still damp, or let it dry completely?

Bi-Tron Global
We recommend you let Tri-Wash® & Protective Glaze dry until you see a haze on the cleaning surface (usually under 30 seconds depending on weather conditions) for best results.

The Polish & Glaze is sometimes hard to remove. Why is that?

Malm's Carnauba Wax and Polish outshines anything!
You may have applied it too thick. Use sparingly. When buffing for polish removal, use only a clean cotton towel. No underwear or cheesecloth. If you have not polished long enough, the top surface of the paint will still be porous. It'll hold the fine polishing particles and make removal harder than normal. On new paints or paints not damaged from sun and weather, removal is quite easy. You can prove this by polishing the inside of the door frames.

How can I remove dried glaze?

Faux Frequently Asked Questions - Details
Like any other latex paint product, if caught soon enough (within the first hour) it may be washed off using a solution of 1-cup ammonia and gallon of water. If the glaze has dried, Goof Off is an excellent product for removal of dried latex products. (Always test a spot for color change first.)

How can I remove scratches from my platters?

Mariposa : Faq
You can revive your Brillante with Simichrome, a wonderful non-abrasive polish available through your Brillante dealer, but if it has been deeply scratched, there is no way to thoroughly buff out these marks. We recommend storing your Brillante in its flannel pouch for optimal care.

How do I remove scratches from the surface?

FAQ
Over time the cooking surface will become "worn" and get tiny scratches from regular use. Many people like that and refer to it as "patina". Should it get to much for your taste, just have the surface "buffed up" by a professional.

What if I remove the protective cover from the core?

X-bit labs - Print version
Although the graphics processor is cooled down more efficiently, you don't usually get any overclocking advantages by removing the lid. At best, this gain will be something like 10-15MHz (in my personal experiment, it was 13MHz, from 615 to 627MHz). I don't think you should do that with the standard cooler. In other cases, do it at your own risk.

Should I remove the Protective Film on the bottom of heatsink?
