What will be your go to product for winter weather protection this year?? Do you change from good weather to severe weather products or just keep using the same products throughout the year. :inspector:

I have tried this product with great results over a 3 week period. Nice matte finish and will last on vehicles driven in the rain as well. No (brown skid marks ) after a drive in the rain. The vehicle it was used on was parked outside and sun, rain, and all the other crap in the air was no...

Shawn, I hope this helps you with your new freshly painted truck panels. Or is it a myth? It depends on how literal you read into the words. If you apply the common definition used for the word breath, then "No", paint does not need to breathe. If however you take a moment to understand the...

The topic of waxes and filling comes up often enough that it deserves it's own thread in Hot Topics to help remove any confusion. Most of the confusion can be found on other forums where someone is trying to make the case that any wax that fill is a bad thing. That's convoluted thinking and it...

If you’re using a non-abrasive product with a high quality, clean, soft foam applicator pad, and you’re working on a clean surface, then it shouldn't’t matter which direction you move the applicator pad over the finish because nothing you’re using will be instilling any scratches or swirls into...

:wall:wall:wall WE HAVE ALL HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE... This is called, TOGW, pronounced, togwa. Here's a close-up of TOGW TOGW stands for The Other Guy's Wax. That is the wax in the cracks and crevices or on trim components or around emblems left by the last guy that buffed out the...

THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY HERE ASKING SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE. I know Dave and I had a member the other nite in the (chat room) asking about sealant's, I hope this helps...:inspector::wow::idea There's a lot of confusion over the topic of car waxes and paint sealants. More...

I have found yet another great article addressing the myths on layering lsp's This is usually never a fun discussion and often times will evolve into a flame war. That said, to start with, here is some information from Meguiar's new FAQ 12. Are multiple coats of wax beneficial? (Layering)...

Ok so this is another "quote" post from another place I found helpful. I am sure most know, but I am quite sure many would like to know this also. When we talk about surface temperatures, we need to consider three factors: Surface Temperature Ambient Temperature Relative Humidity Surface...

this is what the pro's say...:inspector: Some waxes do contain UV-protection agents, but the amount of protection that a microscopically thin layer of wax can provide is limited The primary goal of a wax is to protect the top layers of paint that contain UV-protection agents from the paint...

I have a set of steel panted truck wheels that need to be re coated with primer and paint. I was wondering what type of paint (spray can) or other will do the job and last a while. I would like just to recover and touch up the wheels not sandblast and totally re do the things. They are in...

I guess I am going to take the plunge and buy a pound of cerium oxide and try the stuff. I have some hard water etching on a vehicles glass that is not coming out. I have tried most of the conventional methods with no change. I have seen what people say about the CO slurry and will give the...

What do you consider the best and easiest pinstripe's to apply. I know there are many manufactures making stripes, but what is your choice? I am sure many detailers are offering this service as an add on, to both dealers and the retail field as well. If not, whats the "charge out price per job...

Has anyone used the Optimum spray wax and new ONR with any reviews? Whats the longevity on the wax, ease of use, and general thoughts on the two products.:inspector: How does the new ONR compare to the old product, worth making a change?

How many guys here have purchased the autoglym HD wax from Wally's world? Seems that $34 bucks is not a big deal when it comes to sales at the wally stores. Could be some others might be heading down the wally road when volume sales are needed to kick start the cash flow. :idea:hmmm: Is this...
