Long story short: Went to a BBQ yesterday, parked on street. Was only in there an hour, but in that amount of time, sprinklers had soaked half of car and the spots were dry. I immediately QD with what I had (speed shine) and as soon as I got home I used ONR and then clayed, but some of the...

Driving through neighborhood yesterday (after washing and waxing my car) and see a Dad and daughter scrubbing away and new black Volvo SUV with dirty looking cotton rags. Could see black stuff on the rags that the girl was using to wipe the truck with. :nono That SUV will be swirl city...

What do you guys think of this product? How does it compare to Griot's wash? Thanks.

Any opinions on this product? I'm in the market for a new tire product and was thinking about picking up one of the CG's products. Thx.

Washed my car yesterday and noticed that my WW towels just aren't picking water up like before. I've actually noticed this over the last several washes, but yesterday was the worst thus far. The towels are leaving a lot of streaks and are just pushing the water around. I've had them (2) since...

Trying to decide which shampoo to buy. I have used 118 in the past and liked it, but want to make sure it's not too harsh or overkill. I usually wash my car once a week sometimes once every two weeks. It is a daily driver, though garaged during day and at night, so it never gets really...

Anyone know where I can buy Plexus plastic polish in West Los Angeles? Thanks.

Was thinking of investing in a mini air compressor that I could use to get water out of the tight spots on the car and that I could use around the house (to fill up pool floats, etc.). Can anyone recommend one? Thanks.

Was at a 4th of July party and someone asked me how I'm liking my car (a used 997 I got last September). I say it's great and I wash it once a week and wax it (by hand) every 3 or 4 weeks. This person (her dad owns a body shop or somehting) looks horrified and says that I am going to wax the...

I have a bunch of applicator sponges (the big grey square ones) that I bought from Adam's polishes a while back. Could I use one (cut down to size) to apply wax or would that be bad? Thx.

My jar of Souveran is almost empty and I'm trying to decide whether I should buy another one or try something else (only interested in a paste carnauba). I am sure I'm probably the only one that feels this way, but I actually can't stand the way Souveran smells. To me it is really overly sweet...

Anyone use FK 118 with a foam gun? Was ordering somemore 425 and decided to add a bottle of 118 to my order. Normally I use Griot's, but figured what the heck, I'd give this a try.

Got my order of Werkstatt Carnauba Jett and Glos. Going to use it this weekend. Anyone have any tips re application? I'm thinking about changing the sprayer right off the bat as I did test that and the product comes out kind of drippy, not misty. Up to this point, I've been using Souveran...

Anyone use this? What are your thoughts? If not EF, what other brands are your favorites? I only need a tire cleaner, I like P21S for the wheels. Thanks in advance.

What are your experiences with these products? I really want to try them (when they come back in stock--I'm assuming the Werkstatt site is the only place to get the products). I prefer carnauba (I have a red car and like the way it looks) and have been using Souveran, but am intrigued by the...
