I tried the UPP spray sealant this weekend and it was a disaster. I had put 2 coats of #21 on my car last weekend and it was looking good. Someone had bought me a bottle of the UPP spray sealant. So I thought I put a coat of it on. I followed the directions, spray and area and wipe in...

After applying a sealant like Klasses High gloss or Meg #21, is it ok to spritz the area with detail spray and wipe down ? I find that it removes any distortions / smears left after LSP and really kicks in the shine. Or is it bad to be spraying the sealant before it has cured for a couple...

I spent the past days polishing my black car with Menzerna Intensive polish followed by FP II. It polished fairly well. I started to apply Klasse AIO today and it looks like crap. Questions: 1. I'm assuming I can use my DA to apply it ?? When I do, it is more difficult to get off...

Has anyone used the Adams line of polish and wax? The online testimonials are great but I want to hear how this stuff compares. Thanks, Mike

I'm looking for a Detailing product bag/organizer and was wondering what is available. I've seen the Meguiars Organizer, and the Adams product. I've been to HomeDepot and Lowes and have looked at tool bags etc. I'm looking for a soft-sided bag that will hold a lot of stuff but want the top to...

I was wondering if anyone has ever mixed polishes. For example suppose I liked the results of IP and the working time of #80, could the 2 be mixed during aplication or does this lead to problems ?

I have a PC and used IP with polishing pad and realized its not that aggressive even though it removed all swirls. I want to attempt to remove some tiny spec like pitting that I discovered on my black car. Can I use IP with a more aggressive pad like Sonus SFX-1 instead of their mid-grade...

I know many on this forum top their sealants with carnuba wax products. If this were a daily driver and 2 months has gone by, can you repeat this process again (i.e... wash, apply sealant, apply wax) or is it not appropiate to reapply a sealant when there may be residual wax on the paint...

How can this ultra-fine clay claim: "In fact, Sonus SFX Ultra Fine Detailing Clay is so fine that it will not remove most waxes" Yet it removes: - Road grime (tar, grease, tire rubber) - Bug and bird remains - Rail and brake dust - Fine paint overspray - Road salts - Hard water...

Can I get a quick rundown on how to clean up PC pads. I want to use a different product on some of the pads so I thought I could clean them. Do I need to squeeze out any remaining product in the pad and throw it in the washer ? Or should they be done by hand ?

I realize that many products do not recommend using them in the sun like polishes and waxes. I always assumed it was because of the heat the sun creates on a metal surface. If it is say 40 deg outside and sunny, thereby the surface of the car is much cooler, can you polish and wax in the sun...

I just got my shipment of Menzerna IP and FPII. I have polished parts of my black car before with #80 which is very user-friendly, but have not used the Menzerna products. I will be using a PC and be removing some swirlds and light scratches. I suppose I should use the IP with a polishing pad...

Why don't the major internet vendors like autogeek.net, properautocare.com, etc. sell this stuff ?

I've heard lots of descriptions about acid rain damage and have seen some pictures. Most of the pictures I have seen of so-called acid rain look like water marks as if you didn't dry the car. I have tiny specs (or pits) that almost look like metallic flake but they are too far apart. So I'm...
