    Can we talk brush?

    Could someone tell me differences between detailing brush vs paint brush vs make-up brush? Also I noticed Zymol brush looks just like Swissvax brush. Are they the same quality? Is Swissvax interior brush that much better than Maguiar's brush, which costs 2X less? Thank you.

    Glass Cleaner, what kind?

    Hi all, I am curious what kind of glass cleaner do you use that is safe for tint and does a great job (no steaking...etc.)? I would like to buy it from the local shop since shipping is quite expensive when buying online (i.e. Adam's glass cleaner 1 gallon costs over $10 for shipping). Or if...

    Thin scratch (10 inches) - should I worry?

    After washing the Cayenne today, I noticed there's a very thin (as thin as Hair) scratch that's about 10 inches long. Not sure where it came from...hopefully it's not during the wipe-down. I couldn't feel it when running my finger over it. I tried polishing with Merzerna SIP, 106FF, and put...

    Got flex, should I sell PC?

    Just used the Flex for the first time and it was amazing. It's so well built and balanced. Most importantly, it does not vibrate as much as PC... So my question for the flex owner is - do you keep and even use your PC at all after getting your flex? Thank you.

    Extractor + Chemical questions

    I have just ordered an Aztec and have a few questions: 1) Is it ok to add any chemical directly into the extractor itself (i.e. mix the chemical with water inside)? If yes, what kind? 2) I assume it's ok to spray the carpet and extract it (hoping the chemical won't clog the extractor...

    Tips on using *FLEX*

    Hello, I've got the flex 3401VRG and 6.5 & 7.5 LC Velcro pads. I had a PC originally but the place where I bought the FLEX from says Flex is too strong for 6.5 pads so he recommended 7.5. My questions are: 1) Can I use 6.5 pads on the flex? What should I be careful about? 2) Should I just...
