So this stuff isn't that expensive but throwing on $14 shipping and a week wait is too long for me. Are there any alternatives to this that cut silicone like it does?

I'd like to find something in bulk that is cheaper than ONR. Is anyone using the chemical guys waterless ( Waterless Car Wash ) or a different chemical guys product instead of ONR? I assume you have to dilute it as well. What else besides ONR do the pro's use as a detail clay? Using detail...

I need a drivers side window, mine has scratches on it. I found a website called "cardoorglass.com" or something like that, but places of that sort always seem to appear like a scam. I mean homedepot doesn't call their website "allhomesupplies.com". Where is a good, reputable place to buy...

So I know not to ever let Rain X touch our windshields. (we replaced the windshields on both our cars), but what is the best way to keep them perfect. Is Ceriglass by carpro too strong in that it could put very light scratches in the glass if I were to use it for cleaning water spots for...

the wheels are a painted cast aluminum, I'm thinking the dark black parts are where it has been corroded through the paint/primer to the wheel. How can I clean this? I have scrubbed and scrubbed this stuff is stubborn. Any chemicals that would be helpful? Do I just need to break out a steel...

My girlfriend wants the hood chrome trim piece on her 2005 acura tsx painted flat black and the grille as well. The grille rigt now has plastic chrome on part of it, the rest is just plastic. for the chrome I think I'm good with cleaning it with soap and water, wipe with a wax and grease...

I recently just found a CCS green pad (the next softer after black) and the jeweling gold pad... on top of placing an order for the hydro-tech 3 pack and a red pad, and a yellow compound pad. This means that I'll have yellow CCS, orange flat, white, black, green, red and gold CCS pads. The...

I threw my two orange compounding pads that I had used M105 on, in the same bucket of snappy clean and water that my white M205 pad was in. Do I need to toss the white pad, or resort to using it only with M105 now, or am I thinking too far into this. From here on out I'm thinking I will just...

I have one small fender scratch on my Jeep, and a chip on my hood vents that I'd like to touch up. The problem is that I have a custom pearl paint job. Heres a picture of the Jeep so you can see the pearl. What factory pearls look closest to this? I think it may be approximately a 2006...

should I get the black pad for KAIO, the red for SG, and the Gold for Souverain paste? CCS 6.5 inch foam pads, Lake country ccs foam pads, porter cable pads, ccs polishing pads, ccs pads, lake country ccs pads Also I'm getting a bottle of poor boys black hole glaze for my girlfriends new...

So my first question would be, do I want to use the 2 3/4" backing plate or 3.5" backing plate if I want to use the 4" spot buffing pads. What adapter do I get? And then do I need to wash my M105 pads, M205 pads, and Klasse AIO pads all seperately? I've typically been throwing the M105 and...

What do you guys use for deep cleaning a carpet in a house? That 4" wide wand attachment on the mytee's would take forever. Is there a larger version or am I better off renting a commercial steamer for a few hours? We have one room in the house that is VERY soiled. We had a party here and all...

Hi folks, my Jeep has a custom blue-pearl on white paint job. What can I do to enhance the depth and brightness of the pearl? From the right angle the panels do have an awesome blue color to them. I just got a flex and wetsanded (did not fully take down all orange peel to maintain clearcoat...

So there looks to be some good sales this weekend. I'd like to get a rotary and a polisher. Is the makita rotary and a UDM a great combo to go with? I have heard a lot about the flex and it sounds like if its the only tool you have that is a jack of all trades master of none type of thing...

My Jeep has a custom blue pearl paint applied over a white base, its beautiful but i'd like to make the pearl shine through more and really just maximize the effect. what is the best combo of waxes/polishes that have had success with on light paints or pearl paints.
