We recently acquired a 3rd car (new driver coming up) and needed more wheels. No matter how I stack and rearrange, there is no way I will be able to get all 3 in the garage now. (For the record, I knew my OCD was bad with keeping the cars detailed at all times...what I didn`t know was how this...

I`m the type (and I`m guessing lots of you are!) that likes to maintain the shine on the family truckster even on vacations. I like to take the following as a minimal kit: - Meg`s interior cleaner wipes (door jambs, cup holders, ice cream cone wipe-ups, etc) - Meg`s Ultimate Quik Wax and...

Tried searching to see if someone covered this and I don`t see it yet. I currently use a random PC to apply Klasse AIO, Sealant, and other polishes, and then removal by hand. I`ve noticed each year I get a little less "enthused" about polishing because of the wear and tear on the shoulders and...

Id like to know what everyone else does for storage of their car shampoo products. My current system is a bit unorthodox, but it works to my needs: - Thoroughly washed and rinsed clothes detergent jug (the type with the spigot on the side) - Combine a gallon of Meguiars Gold Class & a gallon...

This is one of my favorite waxes for durability, but I find myself looking at other products because it can be a real bear to work with if it fully cures. Could everyone chime in and just share some best practices/tips of how you use it to get optimal results? I know the times that I've...

I've used my Porter Cable and Lake Country pads on all my late model clear-coated cars, but recently have gotten some requests to work on some classic cars and I wanted to get some advice on a project. Here's the details: - 70s Ford, single stage paint - Paint is in very good condition given...

The soap I've been using has either been Meg's Gold Class, Mother's California Gold Carnuaba, or a mixture of one of those and Turtle Wax that has honestly given very good results while extending the use of a good product with mixing (great foam, great lubricity).  I'm about to kick off a side...

My neighbor of 8 years has watched me spending countless hours washing and waxing my vehicles in every month of the year (even when it's snowing outside!)   They told me they were purchasing a new Lexus RX, and the conversation went from "oh cool what options did you get" to "I would love to...

Just got my '12 Honda Ridgeline last month and I found these 2 scratches on the passenger side, behind the rear door. They're low, and since it's white, I couldn't see them until I was down on one knee last weekend waxing it. I've got a PC random orbit, and with a polishing pad I worked on...

I'm at a point in life with 4 young kids that I don't have the time to spend full days on washing, polishing, feeding, etc., so I'm curious what your thoughts are on this process. It's a bit minimalist, but given that I'm going primarily with synthetics and not carnauba, I'm trying to get the...

Not trying to get shot down on this, just looking to see what others have experienced. I ordered something from WholesaleMN, and am having troubles contacting them. Has anyone ordered products from them, or even heard of them? :think2

I'm curious what everyone else does for this. After you have buffed off the last bit of wax on your car, how long do you wait before applying a LSP like AW, OCW, etc? I've been spritzing the paint with a LSP immediately after to pickup any residue, dust, etc, and I'm not sure if that's the...

I'm in need of of some recommendations for a new wax. Here's what I've used/been using, and results: Mothers Reflections Liquid Wax - Likes: Very, very nice results. This is by far my favorite. I can apply to the entire car, let cure overnight, and comeback when I have to to buff out a...

Okay, I'm ready to take any bullets from the purists out there. I've been a loyal AW user since I saw it appear on this board last year....it rocks! Easy on, easy off. However, it seems as though the only way to apply some protection and get the sense that a layer of protection is actually...

I need some clarification before I order some. Here's what I have: - Mothers Reflections Spray Wax (thick stuff, like butter spray, and leaves velvety smooth finish) - Duragloss AquaWax (awesome stuff, just not sure what exactly it offers) - Griots Speed Shine (seems like more of a cleaner...
