I'm looking for a sun-friendly otc wax that needs to be bought last-minute for a friend's carwash fundraiser. I was originally going to give him natty's paste wax but then I had second thoughts about that, since the cars washed at such events usually require some kind of paint-cleaning. A...

I was reading this article: http://bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=30 and was inspired to fix my curb-rash infested wheels. My car is a lexus is300 with factory wheels, and my problem is obtaining matching wheel lacquer. The article suggests wurth silver wheel lacquer, but it is...

I was looking for shampoo at Trader Joe's and I found one that smells identical to Meguiar's Final Detail! Trader Joe's Essential, herbal shampoo with natural fragrance. Comes in a dark purple container. My girlfriend smelled this shampoo side by side against FD and agreed that they...

I don't have a solid opinion on it yet, but so far it looks very promising. If you don't know about it already, it is a sealant wax that works just like a QD; spray, wipe on, wipe off. I took a leap of faith and ordered a gallon from top of the line. The method of application isn't as wild as...

Has anyone had any experience with purchasing from http://www.car-detailing-store.com ? They are selling optimum car wax by the gallon for $29.95, which is just a little more than the price of two 17oz spray bottles. Another thing that's got my suspicion perked is this statement: "We sell...

You gotta see this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7937041539&category=50450&sspagename=WDVW It's painfully obvious that the 'oxidation' is actually baby or talcum powder. in the fully oxidized picture: -there's a white powder residue on the...

Someone MUST have tried putting pinnacle paste glaz on black or dark colors. If so, what was your experience with how it looked? Compared to souveran side by side? p21s/s100? Since it's made for lighter colors I'm guessing it would reflect more, so would the look be more similar to that...

I was wondering what the differences are between SFX-3 and the sonus paint cleanser? They both seem to function as pre-wax polishes. Is there any benefit to follow sfx3 with the paint cleanser?

I had a data dvd that was severely abused. At some parts of the disc it looked like someone scuffed sandpaper on it. The dvd began reading at 1x read speed, which quickly dropped to 0.1X, transferring about 100kb/s for about 10 minutes. After that, it just gave up altogether and wouldn't read...

Anyone ever try meguiar's plastx or plexus to fix skipping cd's and dvd's? I dont have either of these products and if i were to buy them, it would be primarily for this task. Any opinions on this application?

I have a question i would like to direct towards glanz wax users. I read that the tin is cumbersome to use, and that many people have prefered to put it into a spray bottle for dispensing. To those who have done this, have you noticed any deterioration of the plastic from the solvents in the...
