    I need help with a great combo for metallic paint?

    What is your favortie combo for metallics, especially dark metallics? I really want the metallic to pop...... I currently use the SFX line of polishes, but I remember that someone said they liked 1ZMPP and 4*UPP, and that made the metallic pop.

    High mileage Maxima or Tacoma

    I am looking for a new beater car to last me a couple to a few years, and I came across a 1997 Nissan Maxima GLE w/100,029 miles. Is this car going to be reiable for atleast another 75,00 to 100,000, or should I just go with like a 6000 Focus w/50K miles. The same place also has a 1998...

    running out of SFX-2 polish, want to try something else

    I have been looking at SSR2.5, Optimum Polish, Mezerna IP and FP2......I am leaning towards the SSR2.5 b/c you can use it in the sun, however I know the Mezerna Polishes are amazing products. Or, I just may reorder some more SFX-2, as I liked the product a lot. What do y'all suggest?

    Would this be worthless?

    I really want to try to Klasse VLRP, and by the description it is somewhat of a polish/protectant. Would it be worthless to use it to bring back the color of my black plastic interior, and then top it with say Aerospace 303 or anyother interior detailer?

    What polish for single stage paint?

    I am going to detail my Father-In-Laws '89 BMW 635CSi, and I was wondering what a good single stage polish would be. It looks to have moderate swirling, but other than that the paint is in great shape. Would SFX-2 be too harsh, and can you use a clay bar as well?

    What to use on a $600 paint job??

    Well, this is my wifes '96 Neon, with a below average repaint. Can't complain, her parents did it for a wedding present. I am debating what to use as a LSP, polish, etc on it. The paint has very little reflection on it, and I was wondering if a polish like ColorX would do it well, or even...

    Megs #7

    My autozone has some for 99 cents! I have no idea how good this wax, well sealant is, but it can't be that bad for 99 cents. Anyone have any thoughts on it. The part number is M2611, which is weird b/c that came up at Megs #26, which I would definately buy. Is it worth it?

    Sonoma that hasn't seen wax or care for the last 4 years

    I have a friend who has asked me to come and detail his daughters truck. It is a white GMC Sonoma, I think like an 2000 or 01. Well since it is white, when I saw it, I couldn't tell how bad it was, but I know it will be bad. Basically he just wants the truck to be a shiney white. There is...

    Ned some info on my Father in laws '89 BMW 635 Csi

    Well, I really would like to detail this car for him. He really does not have the time to properly wash and wax his car. It is black and has some swirls, but not that bad considering the age of the car. Now, the question I have is this, is the paint a single stage?? Here are the products I...
