Is it still good after a few years? What color is the formula? white or beige/pink? Thanks

So, I took out my 4 year old Pinnacle Leather/Vinyl Cleaner and Leather conditioner and noticed that it was made by Eimann Fabrik. It said so right on the label. Which of these products is a Eimann Fabrik equivalent?

So for in between washes (i.e., after paint prep, polish, and sealant) what is the best product to use that won't remove the sealant? I need a new product. I've used Pinnacle bodywork shampoo and it seems fine, but it is a little expensive. I was thinking the PS21 TAW 5 Liter or the CG Wash...

I've got less and less time to do a complete detail myself. Wanted to get someone who would take care of a car like their own. I'm in Essex county. any recommendations? thanks.

I'm about to start a repair on several stone chips. How long do I have to wait before I AIO/SG? Thanks

I'm trying to find a leather conditioner to use on new leather (~2 months old). I just want to treat the leather and not make it look oily or shiny. Any ideas? Leatherique might be overkill for a new car. I have Pinnacle's Leather conditioner and have quick access to Lexol. Any recommendations?

I made the mistake of not ordering from coastaltools and decided to buy a PC from Lowes for $101 after tax. Now I need to find a backing plate at a local store in northeast NJ. Does anyone know where I can find the 3M hookit backing plate? See pic. I've tried 3 Home depots and 1 Sears without...

So, I've decided to make the jump into Klasse and acquire an orbital at the same time. I've read the informative posts by jimwh and AlBoston, but I couldn't find a post on the techniques used with the orbital. Specifically which pads, and how long to apply onto each panel with the orbital for...

So there was so much road grime on my car today that I had to bust out the Turtle wax bug and tar remover (comes in a yellow spray can). It took care of the grime on the side skirts of the car very well. My question is would anyone use it on the side panels? i.e., lower part of door and...

This is absolutely rediculous. Granted I might be a little OCD, but there's so much grime on my car (just behind the front and rear wheel side panels). I've had to clay my car 3 times in the past 2 months. Maybe I'm washing the car incorrectly, but I doubt it. The grime just won't come off with...

I waxed two days ago and wanted to apply a second coat of wax today. I've been driving around but there no appreciable dirt on the car; maybe a little dust here and there. So is it safe to just dust the car off with a microfiber and then reapply a second coat of wax? In addition I used Pinnacle...

Ok, I need to buy some cotton chenille mitts for my car's first wash tomorrow. I live in north NJ and can't find any of those viking 100% cotton mitts anywhere. Since, I don't have time to order any online, which brand should I go with at the local auto stores? I also have a walmart around here...

I have double of the Pinnacle Crystal Mist and Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. So, I'm selling one of each. Both are still unused. I'm looking for: Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Protectant 303 Aerospace Protectant Viking 100% chenille mitts Stoner's Invisible Glass Let me know if you're...

Since, I didn't get in on the past group buys. I'm going to start one myself. I'll follow peterbum's pricing policy for his initial group buy. I'm just going to order 100 15"x15" terry MF towels. 80 Mint Green 20 White $35 for ten towels (minimum order is ten) I'm going to order them...

I've come here for some advice on which products to purchase. I've been reading many of the archives last night and have settled on a few items. Please let me know what you think about my choices or if I have forgotten anything. These items are for a new car, so I decided to skip the...
