I need to get PB Black Hole. Shipping is running about $12, so I'd rather buy locally if possible. I'm in Dallas area. Just wondering what retailers carry these products so that I can save $12. Also, I don't need $100 worth of stuff, so I won't qualify for free shipping on most sites.

When I first bought my 2010 Black Nissan Rogue, I was all gungho about proper detailing. 2 bucket method, only the best microfibers, washing at least once a week, waxing with FK 1000P every 2 months etc etc etc. Well it's 5 years later and my Rogue probably looks better than most 5 yr old daily...

I just bought the Griot's Garage 11605z Orbital Polisher kit on amazon for $99 It was an impulse buy, but now I'm a little worried. I am a complete newb to using a polisher. I mainly plan to use it to remove swirl marks on a black Nissan Rogue. I always heard that a newbie should have a dual...

Hi, I own a 2010 Nissan Rogue in wicked black. I started off all gung ho about keeping it detailed and clean, but I'm finding I dont have the time or knowledge to properly correct the paint. I wash by hand using lambswool mitt & 2 bucket method and it usually takes me about an hour and a...

Well, it's my own fault. I own a 2010 Nissan Rogue in Wicked Black and had been trying to detail/care for it to the best of my ability(2 bucket wash, grit guard, lambswool mitt, Griot's shampoo, etc.), but this was one, LONG, HOT summer. I'm in NOLA and the heat and humidity pretty much zaps any...

I'm ready for the criticism, but I don't really care :) I like my tires to be ultra, super shiny! I know many like the clean, natural look on their tires and that's fine. I, myself, prefer ultra shiny tires. What's the best OTC product for this? I've tried Tire Wet(ok, but doesn't leave that...

I got some Finish Kare 1000P based on the advice and recommendations of some of the more experienced board members here. Well it came in yesterday and I plan on applying it this weekend. I'm not familiar with this paste wax and was hoping I could get some instructions, advice, and tips. I...

I washed the black Rogue last Saturday and since it hasn't rained since, it actually still looks great. Was expecting a weekend off from washing it. The GF and I left this house this morning around 10am to run errands and we just got home. When we pulled into the driveway, I noticed that my...

I have a 2010 Black Nissan Rogue bought new last March. It's now a year old and most people say it still looks brand new. I've learned many things from this forum and my Rogue has benefited greatly. I'm looking for some new and better products to wax/seal the Rogue that won't kill me come...

I have a Pioneer DVD/Stereo Receiver in Dash...Its an 6 inch LCD touchscreen. The interior of my car does not get very dirty, mainly just dusty, so I've just been swiffer dusting the dash, console, Dvd screen, etc. and that's been fine. Last weekend the GF and I took my car and she likes to play...

Years ago, my brother bought us siblings a Craftsman Orbital Buffer from Sears. I applied the wax by hand and buffed off with the buffer. This was back in the early 90's. I thought it did a good job. I'm not sure what sibling ended up with that buffer when we started moving out of the parent's...

Would really like to get my 2 front windows tinted(back windows have factory tint) and after reading many reviews on all different types of tint, I think I'd like to go with Llumar tint. Does anyone know of a shop in the NOLA area(New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, etc.) that uses the Llumar...

I live in the South and love bug season should soon be upon us down here. I really HATE these things. Is there anything I can do to protect my car BEFORE they end up on it? My Dad once told me to spray Pam(yes, the cooking spray) on my front end before driving on the highway and whenever I...

Alright, I need to go out and get some quality MF's for next week's washing. I've seen the MF bundles at Wal-Mart and at Pep Boys, etc. I know I can get VERY high quality Mf's for $$$ online at places, but I'm not willing to pay $40 for 6 Mf's(that's how I feel, so let's not get into that...

Now that my car is freshly waxed(Autoglym HD wax), I'd like to keep it up in between waxes. I saw a guy at the car wash(don't worry, I wasn't in my car) spraying something onto his white Lincoln Navigator and wiping it off in small sections. His car was still wet, but he said he was drying...
