Recently, I've posted (HERE)) about using up about 1/3 of a bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that's been sitting on my shelf doing nothing, by diluting it to a 10% solution and spraying it on my wheels whenever I clean them. It's working really, really well. Once the wheel is clean, I just mist...

Hi all, Thought I'd share this since I've been doing it for a few weeks now and it it seems to be working really well. I have about 1/2 bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze that sat on the shelf for ages, since even though it's a a classic, it's ease of use leaves a bit to be desired. Anyway, I...

Just curious what the current hot products are to protect and beautify rubber/soft plastic trim and seals... My standard is Gummi Phledge. Someone on a car forum who happens to be (I believe) a hydrocarbon chemist swears by Krytox, even though it's ridiculously expensive (used to protect...

Ok, a while back I solicited suggestions on a detail spray to try....finally used up my last gallon of 4* UGE. Based on feedback and reading lots of threads, I decided to try FK425. It's been nothing but trouble for me. Paint is BMW Monaco Blue (very dark blue), well prepped, with WolfGang...

Ok, so I had to find a new QD since my last gallon of 4* UGE is almost gone. decided to try FK 425 (partly price, partly wanted to see if the anti-static part is hype or reality)... Anyway, vehicle is a BMW with Monaco Blue paint (really dark blue). The car has been clayed and prepped, and 2...

The subject sums up my question.... I have an almost-full bottle of DACP that, although old, seems to be fine. I haven't needed (or bought) anything more aggressive than it simply because I didn't need it. I may have that need now - in case I do, and need it in a hurry, is the Meguiar's...

Hi all, Been a long while since i've posted here, and my product knowledge is most certainly not current. I'm looking for a QD to use on top of UPP. I used to use the Four Star QD spray (forget what it was called), but don't see it listed. I like the UPP combo when I used it because it gave...

Star Sapphire Pearl Clearcoat paint, the car has over 156,000 miles. 1UZ-FE engine, 260 hp and 270 ft-lbs of torque, top speed 149. I am very happy - last week I had all the dings removed from my car. The drivers side back door had 3 large and one medium dings, in a nice square pattern...

As I posted in a different forum (my bad) I can't get the "go to new post" button to work. But it does accurately show me what threads have new posts since I last visited. I'm logged in. Browser set accept cookies. I put DC as a trusted site in IE. Other forums using this BB software work...

The button to take me to the first unread post in a thread doesn' seem to work for me, except when visiting a thread I've looked at during the same "session (i.e., haven't closed the browser or gone to another site). What am I doing wrong? thanks, Andrew

Anyone seen this locally anywhere lately? I can't find it at AutoZone or the one KMart I looked at here. thanks, Andrew

Our local Meijer's (a big-box store similar to Wal-mart) has Stoners Invisible Glass on sale buy one get one free ($3.99). Both aerosol and spray bottles, same price. I bought 6 spray bottles :) I you have Meijer's in your area (and like/use Stoners), you might want to check it out! Also, I...

Ok, I just got my PC and have been practicing/using it for the last couple weeks, and I need some advice. One of my cars (still) has moderate swirls. Not a LOT of them, but the ones that are there are medium depth but still clearly removable. I have (and have used) Pinnacle SMR and Advanced...

Will a moderator please fix the sticky thread for the acronym list? For all those who need it, here's a link....been posted recently, but keeps goin into hiding.... http://www.detailcity.org/forums/detailing-general/16180-updated-acronym-list.html#post159838 blue skies, Andrew

Ok, I'm planning the PC purchase, and have scoped out the multitude of options. Pretty much have it narrowed down to either the Pinnacle package ($170 shipped after DC discount w/ backing plate, 2 orange, 3 white, 2 grey pads) or Coastal Tools ($109) + pads from somewhere. Or maybe the...
