Hello all - I was curious as to which QD spray would be best to use on a vehicle maintained with EX? Since EX contains polymers AND carnauba, I wasn't sure if my Platinum UGE was the right thing to use, or do I need Poorboy's QD+ Carnauba for it... thanks! Brian

OK, I had my car unprotected between polishing and sealing the other day while working outside. And wouldn't you know it, but one of our feathered friends unleashed a nice bird bomb on my roof! I immediately ran and got a MF and some QD and wiped it off, but it was too late. His bomb must have...

Hello - I have to do a car tonight with a few spots of tar/driveway sealer on the carpet. What would work the best to take it out from these products I have: WD-40 Eimann Fabrik Spot Remover Eimann Fabrik Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner APC (or full strength?) I could go buy some tar and bug...

OK, this may seem pretty obvious to most of you, but I can't decide for myself which is the better choice. When you dress tires, is it proper to just do the sidewalls? When I just leave the treads alone, the tires look incomplete (maybe I am just not washing the tread well enough?). Is there...

Just curious if anyone has tried this stuff (Oxy-clean) as an alternative route for stain removal from interior carpets / floor mats? Seems like it would work... can anyone confirm or deny this theory :) Thanks, Brian

Hello all: I have some slight fading along the top of the cloth on the inside of my doors. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for an interior fabric/upholstery protectant that has some ability to rejuvenate or restore some slight fading of the original fabric color? Will the 303 or...

Hello all: Here's a question I don't believe I have seen posted here before (or if it was, it was long ago...). Every procedure I read about concerning using the PC involves having it set between 3.5 and 4. Well, I use mine on 5 and it works a helluva lot better. I am just wondering the...

Hello all: I need help with a couple scratches that are driving me nuts - like the way little imperfections in your paint usually do.... :mad: I have a couple deeper ones in my paint that lighter compounding won't touch (so far I have used some SMR's and a PC w/ a white polishing pad). They...

Hello all: In the never ending quest to CORRECT paint anomalies (swirls, hairline scratches, etc.) rather than hide them, I am still confused about which of the many compounds marketed as SMR's have fillers. I know for a fact that the Menzerna polishes do NOT contain any fillers. They are...

Thought I'd share this with you all and let you have a laugh at my expense... The other day, I had agreed to do what was supposed to be a 'simple' detail job on a white Olds Alero for a friend. Well, I picked it up tonight, and unbeknownst to me, the thing had the lower section covered in tar...

Hello all - Just curious about the EF line of products and their quality, and would like some feedback from those of you that use them. What do you think of them, in particular the Carpet & Upholstery cleaner, Clear Pearl QD, High Intensity Cleaner, and their Black Opal tire dressing? In...

Just got my package from Dwayne (great stuff and quick shipping - Thanks!). I have some questions... 1. Does the Klasse Sealant Glaze serve the same purpose as the Platinum UPP? I have both, and am wondering which would go best over the Klass AIO I just put on. Is there a noticeable advantage...

Hello all - OK, I am planning on tackling my swirl marks / light scratches on my black Monte SS with a rotary, such as the Makita 9227C. I have compiled a list of compounds that, from reading posts on here and what I've read, will take them out, but don't really know the subtle differences or...

Hello - I am the new guy on DC. I have been reading/harvesting knowledge from here for about two weeks, and see that most everyone on here is really cool, so I finally registered. Glad to be here! My situation - I am a detailing newbie that is trying to remove some light to medium scratches and...
