    Ok, broke down and got a PC (question included)

    I've been saving some new Duragloss products for this day in anticipation and wanted to make sure I understood the process. The Duragloss products in possession are: #652 - Pre-Cleaner No. 2 #111 - Clear Coat Polish #105 - Total Performance Polish #951 - Aquawax I've used the 652/111...

    Anti-Autopia...

    Hah! You don't get a sweet fungus patch on the hood like that with regular washes. YouTube - Volkswagen 1600 "Hoodride"

    Will NXT & AW stack?

    I ordered some Duragloss 105 & Aquawax to replace the 652/111 combo I had tried before but while I was waiting we had a few really nice days so I took advantage of that by washing & claying the truck. Rain was expected in a few days so to put a little protection on I washed again and put a coat...

    Under 21? Click me!

    I'm doing a little project and would like to get some participation. This isn't for hazing purposes or berratement, I'm just curious as to how some of these cultural icons have fared through the ages. There's nothing wrong with not knowing, I'd rather get a more accurate idea through a...

    Cost to build a garage?

    I have a 2-car garage attached to the house but with my current project car in there and everything else that requires storage, I don't have much room for anything else. I've been toying with the thought of doing a small single bay stand-alone unit up the hill a bit to put my project car in to...

    A couple questions

    First is in regards to paint vulnerability. I washed my truck (with Dawn) after work today and got half of it clayed, but now it's getting dark and hard to see so I won't have time to finish. Tomorrow we're going to finish up Christmas shopping so I won't get a chance to get back to it until...

    Question about leather

    I was using some Duragloss shampoo to give the seats in my Tahoe a good cleaning but it said to use a soft brush. I started by using a Black Magic interior brush but it didn't do a whole lot of good unless I applied a lot of pressure, but then that pulled the bristles out. Then I swapped up to...

    99-04 Tahoe/Yukon in Carmine Red?

    Does anyone have pictures of one with different products? I'm getting ready to do mine by hand with some Duragloss 652/111 and would like some general comparison shots. I know about circumstance and varying conditions, it's just for general purpose. Carmine Red is the darker red, almost...

    Removing vent visors

    My wife's Tahoe has some vent visors on her Tahoe that were painted and put there from the dealership but now, 6 years later, they're cracked, broken, and losing their coating. I'm trying to get them off but the adhesive tape is killing me. I tried some decal/adhesive remover that usually...

    Care for a Yakima faring?

    I'm assuming this material is just acrylic/plexiglass. I took a trip to Tampa a few weeks ago and brought half of it back with me in the way of love bugs and after several washings to get all the remnants off there seems to be some etching/pitting. Is there any way to take care of this by hand...

    Duragloss question

    Just stopped at Car Quest to pick up some 441/221 for my wife's leather seats and decided to pick up a few other items to try out since I've only had experience with OTC products (I never new Car Quest carried the stuff). I got a bottle of #652 (precleaner) and a bottle of #111 (clear coat...

    South Carolina is good for something...

    My wife was at class the other night and called to tell me some crackhead had busted out her window, slithered in and took what he wanted, then slithered back out the window so as not to disturb the factory alarm. I was worried about how many limbs they'd want to replace the window of a...

    Difference in polishers

    I've tried looking through the knowledge articles and searching this forum trying to find the difference in polisher types but can't really find the information I'm looking for. Could someone point me in the right direction, please? I'm trying to find out what sets the PC out so far ahead of...

    A couple questions for a beginner

    I've always maintained a clean and healthy car with regular washes and the occasional waxing but I usually spent more time on the interior and never bothered with clay bars or even polishing because "it's just going to get dirty again". Now that my daughter has gotten older I've got more time...
