I am new to detailing and I apply AG SRP, NXT 2.0 and more by hand. I also have a very very old orbital buffer that is only good for applying wax. I am looking at the Porter Cable 7424XP (PC) but I am open to other options. What I fear about the PC is that it doesn't have the best warranty...

I recently found out Pep boys carries some Autoglym products such as SRP, High Definition Wax and some more. I also read the article concerning different swirl removers and how SRP is one of the best. Well my car's paint is 17 years old and has major swirl marks. And I doubt the 1.5 to 2.0...

Sorry if my topic title wasn't specific enough but I don't think I could have posted exactly what i wanted there. I was thinking about getting the car's paint surface clean then use Finish Kare 1000P as a base WAX, followed by Collinite 476S then S100. Then on good days or car shows using...

I have a 1993 Infiniti Q45 and I have either a Cross Link Clear Coat or a fluorine-type clear coat type clear coat. I have found as many Technical Service Bulletins as possible and it says these clear coats are special. Do you guys have any more info on these clear coats and what polishes...

I am sorry if this was already asked. I want a product that in the rain will bead water and then the beads will just roll off. Now if thats not already in a product then I think someone should make it happen. You would have the best of both worlds: beading and a water mark free car.

I bought some Meguiars NXT 2.0 because of its ability to fill in some small scratches and swirls. But I was wondering if I were to put two coats of NXT to make sure all the swirls are gone and I didn't miss any areas, Then put two coats of Collinite 476S because that stuff lasts a while...

I think I made a mistake in forgetting where I last left the NXT 2.0 wax. Well it turns out it was outside in freezing temps all winter long. I find it and open up the can and its not looking so good, Not like new. Should I trash it and get a new can or should i save it. Half a can is left...

I want to make my Q45 look like this Q45: I know this is a brand new Q45 but I believe with some work I can achieve this. I would like to know what kind of prep work and wax combo's would yield such a look.

I have a 1993 Infiniti Q45 and this car is a detailer nightmare because the paint is not at its best. And I say that because I am a perfectionist when it comes to this car and this car alone. The paint on this car was the best for its time (lasts 10 years without wax when new). I have a...

I have been a long time watcher/viewer but I recently signed up because this place is awesome. I have been watching the reviews section mostly. I like it because its nice to know what should be given a chance and what should be avoided like the plague. I was wondering if it would be possible...
