I've got a buddy with a Civic Si. We'll probably be getting it ready for a n.e.0hio winter pretty soon and I'd like to take a little polish to it after claying. The paint is in pretty good shape, no major issues. I have only Menzerna's SIP and 106FF, and Meg's #80 to choose from. I use the...

mornin' folks, I have an '07 black GTI and nothing but time on my hands. It currently has three coats of BFWD, with DWG between coats. Then, on top of that I've (so far) got one coat of FK1000P, with another one due to go on in a few days. The car looks really, really nice at this...

I was lucky enough to secure a bottle of Danase Wet Glaze a couple weeks before it was sold out. Now I'm getting ready to do a spring detail on my '07 Volkswagen GTI. ( Black, of course ) I'll be doing a polish with Menz 106fa. Sealant will be BFWD. How exactly can I maximize my use of...

2007 VW GTI Clayed it. KAIO'd it. Menz 106 FF Now I need an LSP. Narrowed the choices to Megs 21, Menz FMJ, Collinite 845, or Blackfire Here's what I need, in order of importance. Durability for an Ohio winter, depth, gloss. What say you guys ?

In the collinite thread, I see references to 845 and also 885. As best I can tell the 885 is a marine wax and the 845 an insulator wax. I can get the 845 at the parts store. I'm thinking a coat of that on my summer wheels will do the trick in terms of maximum protection. Yes ? No ...

Hi Guys, Noob here, hoping for some advice. My son has a 2000 Ford Focus. ( red ). He bought it used a year or so ago. It's in decent enough shape for a car that old. Some swirls and scratches in the finish. I'd like to spend a couple days over Thanksgiving weekend working on this...
