    More aggressive clay?

    Hey all, I have been curious for the past while and am looking for Megs C2100 clay (the aggressive red stuff) I have tried their OTC clay you get at canadian tire and the like, as well as some Riccardo yellow clay, and both of them are not near aggressive enough. Tree sap that has had...

    Looking for a detailer in the edmonton/alberta area

    Hey guys, I just bought a 2001 VW GTI. It is black, which we all know was a bad decision. But I love the car! It is fairly beat up, and I want a 2 step polish/wax if there is anyone out this way. Shoot me a message and we can take it from there! Thanks! - Keith

    Rust on my wheels, help!

    Hey guys, I have a 2008 Volkswagen GTI, and on the rear wheels when you activate the park brake when it is cold/damp out it apparently likes to put some rust on the wheels when you take it off and use the brakes... unfortunately for me, this didn't come off with P21S green (admittedly I let it...

    476s application directions?

    Hey all, I decided that last week I would buckle down and apply some of my new goods to my car. I applied it with a black hand applicatior pad, and wiped it off with a quality microfiber as anyone should. So I go to wash my car this week, and to my extreme surprise, it isn't beading at all on...

    Product for taking scratches out of "wood" trim?

    Hey guys, my mom has a 2008 Ford Taurus with the (not so lovely) wood trim. It is pretty scratched up from the previous owner, it looks like they attacked it with paper towel to clean it up. Anyways, as of right now I have yet to do anything, and honestly all I have is ScratchX, and NuFinish...

    Tips on applying a wax?

    Okay this is going to sound weird (well to me anyway) But is there anything you should do after you do a final jeweling stage of polishing and do an IPA wipedown, do you just go straight to applying the wax or is there something you should put on first? I am still trying to learn all I can...

    Why do we judge protection by beading?

    I have wondered this for a few days, but why do we do it? I remember a video the other day about Scott showing how ONR had left behind "protection" because it was beading water and it made me start to think... Why does beading mean protection?

    Drying mirrors?

    Hey all, I have a problem I would like to share. I don't have a leafblower of some kind so I am stuck with drying with microfibers. unfortunately for some reason, whenever I dry a mirror I find it leaves very fine scratches on the surface that are VERY obvious when the sun shines on it. I am...

    Is this the right wax choice?

    So I am just deciding on some things to buy (this bug is getting expensive ;) ) However I can't decide on a wax I want to get! I have a black car, and I love it to shine but with all my research there is so many different products that do it... I just can't decide. I like my cars to look very...

    What do you use for beading water on glass?

    I normally use RainX, however I heard that some people just put a wax on the window instead. What do you all do?

    Rotary vs random orbit?

    Hey all, I have a question. I feel that I am somewhat efficient in the ways of polishing cars, and have been doing so for about a whole summer now and I keep improving by trying new products and such, however I am noticing that the results just aren't what I like after coming here and seeing...
