Would Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze (FTG) be a good under UPGP? Would it lower the life span of UPGP? Normally I would just use UPGP with nothing under it but have a bottle of FTG sitting around and wanted to use it up. Thanks

I am just starting to dive into the autopia way. Just did a wash/polish/wax on the wifes car and she was amazed. "I can see my self, its like a mirror" is what I heard from her :^) I currently use a carnauba wax (PB red) but have been reading about UPGP and it might be more of what I am...

After a couple months of reading these forums I have finally got some stuff and I am testing it out on my "test" car, 99 Nissan Pickup that mainly sits out side (24/7) and gets driven about 2 times a month. I am unable to upload the pics, keep getting an error. Index of /car/car_buff If...

Do any of you guys apply a coat of FMJ and top it off with a carnauba wax? Or, should be be a coat of carnauba and then FMJ? By the way, I have to say thanks to all you guys. Have been reading for a while and have learned more then I ever thought about this stuff. Will post a couple...

The wife just got rear-ended today, havent seen the damage yet but sounds like the bumper/trunk might need to be replaced. Can anyone recommend a good body/collision shop in the atlanta area? Thanks
