Since I have them both on hand, I would like to top #21 with NXT. However, I am finding mixed responses as to whether or not this can (or should) be done. Some say that NXT has cleaners so it shouldn't be the topper, where others say it's fine. So settle this for me once and for all - can you...

The last couple of days have given me the first opportunity to put my recently applied Aquapel to the test. While it beads and repels water nicely, the wipers squeak badly when passing over the windshield - it's mostly noticeable when driving at city speeds. I can't imagine that this is...

Just used #83 and #80 for the first time today and I think I may have gotten a bad batch of #80. Is it supposed to be a pretty thin brown liquid with white flecks in it? This looks much different than any product I have ever seen and definitely much different than #83. I have shaken it till...

Is the white pad that comes with the PC good for anything or should I just toss it? If anything it feels like a cutting pad - but maybe not...

As one who is naturally compulsive about swirls on my own vehicles, I of course notice a lot of cars that have them as well. However, something about these cars always jumps out at me that I have not been able to come up with an answer to and is frustrating the h#ll out of me. Swirls always...

I just used my PC for the first time, and it was pretty straightforward, but a couple of frustrating things did happen and I'm not sure how to keep them from happening again. 1) a LOT of fine dots of semi-dry polish kept getting flung everywhere as I was running it. It seems like it was the...

I just finished up using my new PC on a pretty neglected black Tacoma. My process was: wash clay SSR2.5 (orange Wolfgang pad) SSR1 (white Wolfgang pad) I haven't applied my lsp yet, because I don't really think it looks ready. The SSRs cleaned it up and added a lot of depth, but under...

So I finally got around to doing my first clay job on my Tacoma that has been neglected for a couple of years. The clay worked well and removed a lot of contaminants, but not these stubborn spots/stains. They don't really feel like water spots, more like some sort of contaminant got on the...

I have seen plenty of products that can be used to polish or restore clear plastic (Megiuars, Plexus, etc), but I have not seen one that claims to work on tinted plastic. I have a bug shield that has some scratches and haze that I need to work on. Anyone had success with a polish or other...

I'm getting ready to do my first clay treatment on my Tacoma which needs it pretty badly. I'm going to use a medium clay, but is there any benefit to following the medium clay with finer clay - similar to the way you gradually go to finer grit on sandpaper when you want the smoothest finish?

First let me say that I have been lurking here for a while and have picked up a lot of great stuff, so thanks. I tried searching to find the answer to my current problem with no luck, so... I just purchased a 2006 Outback and on the second day I had it, I wiped off the dash with a clean, dry...
