it was nice to meet you guys up in Santa Barabara yesterday! Will be looking forward to trying out the samples i recieved to see how well they really work;)

well i hadnt detailed my car for a long time (over 2 months) and I had a impromptu car show to attend today. So i spoke with a local San Diego auto body shop that had done great work on my car already. they reccommended "x" mobile detailer. So i spent $100 for a decent ext. only job. But i...

Hopefully true to the mindset of those that visit here i bought a new set of rims/tires today, and brought them home and promptly applied 2 coats of mother's carnuaba wax to them! I'll treat the rubber with 303 when i put them on tomarrow. qualify? :bounce ;) here is what is going on the...

i bought some of this today ( 64 oz. ) for 3.00. Had run out of the Eagle1 soap so i thought i would try this. It suds more than the EO, by a lot, and the suds seem to stick to the car more than the EO. it also seems milder to use. i washed 1/2 the hood with each product and the EO didnt...

i finally got around to testing these products this week..... i really liked the Invisible glass....no steaks at all....plus there was a lot of pin head droplets of tree sap that came off after the 2nd coating and a clean waffle weave!!!! the 303 im not too sure about yet....it still...

'03 eclipse GTS

well it was great here in San Diego today, so i thought it would be a good time to detail the civic. I had already clayed the car about a month ago, so i went and did a wash with EO wet soap, then let the h20 pour onto the car, sheated nicely. Blotted/pulled the Absorber here and there. then...

i mean that several different people have all had the same bad results. Be it towels, waxes, polishes, etc. Can we name say 5 things to stay away from.

my buddy just bought a new eclipse, and they got him for the 500.00 polymer paint sealant.....he wants to Zaino his car, so we need to get it off. i went to CMA, and they didnte mention the dealer applied coats, but just said to use a paint cleaner and clay....any suggestions? I know Zaino has...

ok guys, took your advice and went and bought the 3 pack of lambswook mitts from Costco...they have the hide on the back/inside of them (comes from real australian sheep:baabaa) so i lightly washed and double rinsed them in the waher and air dried them. I also went and purchased 1 gallon of...

after reading the posts about the stuff @ costco, i went. they had 3 100% lambswool wash mitts/pads for about 10.00 a 10 pack of 12x14 Mf towels from Microfiber Unlimited www.microfiber.org out of San diego. well they looked ok. SO i emailed them, since i also live in SD. well emailed me...

i searched and only got 1 post about it and it was not really helpful. it runs 22.00 for 200 grams. comes in medium and fine. http://www.martinsenour-autopaint.com/ap/tecnique_correction_clay_fine.htm it appears to be a sub-contractor fro napa. i have used the clay magic bar once as...

i was on base today and they had TONS of buffalo milke all 50% off msrp. It looks like a spray wax, and or a wax and wipe type of deal.... i searched and found 3 posts about it....all that was said, was that it was not a polish. Just wondering if it would be a good deal to get some...
