I am wanting to use a polish for minor swirl removal and paint cleaning 3 to 4 times a year at most. After DavidB's recent threads about overpolishing, I thought I would poll the masses about what polishes are good for that purpose. The polishes/cleaners I am familiar with are: Meguiar's...

So, I took the plunge and ordered some MicroRestore last month. Just got to try it this past weekend. Did a half load with one ounce of MS with my WW and plain MF's. Hang dry everything. When the towels were dried, they felt softer. I thought, "wow, great, it restored my towels". Anyway...

Hey guys, I just picked up this new ride yesterday. Kawasaki 636. Since this is my first new bike in about 9 years :) , I wanted to check out everyone opinions on what I should use. I have used everything from Meguiars, Klasse, Platinum, etc. on my other bikes. This bike will not see rain...

This is not a car detailing question, but I figure one of you guys (maybe people with kids) would have run into this. We had a power outage last night, and had to use candles. Long story short, wife drips some paraffin wax onto the carpet in the bedroom carrying it around. Getting it off...

It's been snowing for the last coupla days here, and since we only get snow a few days a year here, nobody has snow tires, and 99% of them drive around like idiots, especially SUV's. Normally, I stay off the roads as much as I can at these times to avoid the mayhem, but apparently, that wasn't...

I am posting this here even though I have been here a while, because I've never had a new car delivery from shipment. Anyway, the deal is that we are finally getting a WRX in the family (yay!) and my wife wanted white, which has to be from a new shipment. I requested the Autopian tradition...

I had some post exchanges with a few members on another forum about motorcycle detailing and an issue came up about sealing or waxing chrome. It was suggest that it shouldn't be done. One member even suggested that chrome will pit if sealed. That doesn't make any sense to me. Anyone have any...

Anyone have any info on where this is available? Is there a qualified technician for this up here, or is it easy enough to do that I should bite the bullet and mail order it and apply it myself. I am thinking of doing this in a month or two when we get a new car.

....most of you will have seen me over at that other A____ site. Looks like a pretty cool site over here.

I recently got a sample of #20 thanks to Mike Phillips, and this morning, I got to try it on a 2001 Blue RAV4. The reason I got the sample was that I had complained that #20 was thin and smelled terrible. Right off the bat, when I opened this bottle, I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore. The...

OK, guys, I am specific excluding the more exotic waxes because I want to keep this to waxes available over the counter. There has been a lot of debate over this, but I wanted to get a quick vote. So the candidates are below. Please comment on any irregularities, like S100 needing a couple of...

I have a Meguiar's backing pad, and was initially quite happy with it, but lately, it seems it's losing its stick (Only had it a year). So does anyone else have this problem? How about some of the other backing pads? I have heard negative opinions on the Lake Country one, but how about the...

Out with it, guys! How many different ones do you own? Please list the one you actually use, and the ones which just sit on the shelf. I have #20, #26, Klasse, Platinum UPP. I have and don't use TW Carnuba(:eek: ) Mother's cleaner wax, Mother's California Gold pure Carnauba (paste...

So, there has been another thread another thread where several users have asserted that all OEM and bodyshop paint jobs are compounded. Unfortunatetly, no one has qualified their answers with --I used to work for Ford, etc. Can someone give a qualified answer please? I am not intending to...

I have been very happy with the results and the ease of application and removal of Platinum UPP since I got it over two months ago. 4 cars, multiple coats later, I am very happy with it. Last night, I decided to do a couple of my motocycle helmets with AIO and PUPP. This is what I use for...
