    AW on Plastic?

    Well, I detailed my truck again last night, and followed up my ONR wash with AW. While doing this, I decided to test a little area of plastic with the AW. Turned out great. so I went ahead and put AW on the bed rail caps. This is relatively smooth, tight plastic, and it looked really nice...I...

    I have a static problem

    Got my ONR yesterday, and did a wash with it, then followed up with my 5th coat of DG 105 in as many weeks. The only thing I did different this time with the DG was to use a foam applicator rather than a microfiber applicator. This morning I went hunting and drove around on some gravel...

    What about when it's REALLY dirty

    I've been following these forums for about a year now, and I'm totally hooked on keeping up my vehicles now...to the point where I have the PC, foam gun, Klasse, collinite, duragloss, etc. BUT, I've been keeping up my new truck in spotless condition since brand new, and I'm concerned about...

    Is ANY brush worthy of being used?

    I have become addicted! I am absolutely nuts about keeping my rig cleaned and shined up at all times, but now I'm getting worried about what I'm going to do as the cold weather sets in. I wash at least once a week, but I tend to get a little wet, and I know it's just going to be too cold to...

    Newbie review of Duragloss and Collinite

    I'm a newbie, and I have very little experience with the vast number of products out there for detailing, but I just had to give my own little mini-review of a couple things I tried out today for the first time. I just recieved my Duragloss 601 bonder, 105 Sealer, and Aquawax. Also got the...

    I've got some Klasse SG for trade

    I have now struggled through a few coats of Klasse SG, and while I think it is GREAT stuff, I find it difficult to use, and my trucks are just too big, so I'm switching to Duragloss. It's a full quart, almost none used (I went as thin as possible) and if anyone wants it, you can have it...a...

    Bra Damage?

    I'm considering a bra for the front end of my truck since it really is getting chipped up beyond what i can take since I've "discovered" serious detailing. In general, do you folks here have a general opinion on car bras? I'm looking at a Colgan bra, but I'm concerned that there might be a...

    I must be doing something wrong

    A few nights ago I did my first real detail on my truck. Used the Klasse twins, and things were fine until I applied the sealant/glaze too heavy...I am using a PC. It is VERY hard to remove...to the point that I needed to use a spray bottle with water to help get the job done. Tonight, I applied...

    From one newbie to the others

    Tonight I just finished my real "full" exterior detail on my crew cab Tundra. All my stuff came in and I was just itching to get it started. Full wash, 2 buckets of course and the foam gun. All the nooks and cranny's. Then came the clay...I almost did not do the clay 'cause I THOUGHT it was...

    I need some help with highway paint slings!

    Yesterday I decided to start on the most complete wash I've ever given my truck (I wash it once a week) and noticed that on the drivers side, I now have what appears to be highway striping paint slung on the underside of my fender flairs, and a limited amount on the lower side of the truck. Just...

    Shiniest Fridge in the Midwest

    Well, I have been practicing with the new PC on my garage refrigerator. I am using some of the OTC polishes/waxes that I owned before I became "enlightened" by these forums. Until the new Klasse and PB stuff get's delivered, I am playing with technique. My wife thinks I've been popping bad...

    The wallet says OUCH!

    Well, I have had the PC for a little while now, but I just got around to ordering stuff to use with it. At one point I thought the PC was going kind of overboard (in terms of cost) for just a 3 car DIY'er...but the other stuff blows that cost away. My order is now over $300.00, but it includes...

    Rust specks on paint

    I just did my first hand wash of the "spring" on my white truck...also used the new foam gun...WOW I like that sucker! Once the layer of road grime was gone, I noticed, for the first time ever, what looked like rust spots on the paint. This is not rust on the body, but just like what you might...

    I have contracted the disease!

    Okay, I have been reading this forum for a while now, and I'm now infected with the disease. I just picked up my PC today, with edge pads on the way. I have a charcoal gray maxima, and a white tundra...both should be pretty easy to deal with...the Max is small, and the truck is white, which I...

    Can I save my glass?

    First post on this forum...lot's of great information from you pro's...now I'm hoping you can give me some magic product or procedure... Some jerkweed drove too close to my truck and smacked my passenger side rear view mirror, busting it up...it's going to be replaced, but in the process of the...
