Got a very light dent on hood close to the windshield about the size of a dime. I think a branch hit near the top my hood. Any average person would not be able not notice it but we are Autopians right. Thus it's bugging the heck out of me when I see my nice clean hood. I tried to massaged...

Does anyone have answer on this? My glass rubs against the rubber belt molding and makes annoying squeaks when going up and down. thx, rd

Recently had a new rear quarter panel installed. New clear coat has a little solvent pop bubbles in certain areas. Anything I can do to even them out [ maybe light wet sanding ] ? They are tiny. thx rd

Has anyone compared the old phase 123 system to reflections with top coat. I have dark green metallic paint. I may give the reflections / top coat a look. thanks

My coupe was backed into last week and I am trying have the insurance company of the person who hit me pay for the damages. My delema is that I want a whole new full quarter panel but they may want to pay for only a bondo repair job. Can anyone lend me any tips to put pressure on them to do the...

For the heck of it I loaded up on the s100 on each panel. To my delite the depth and gloss was fantastic with that fuller body look. It looked much better than a light application. It was just as easy to remove also. At $15 bucks a jar this wouldn't break the bank either. Anyone want...

For those who have closely examined the two above combos which seems to be the clear winner? Or are they too close to tell. I have used gepc/s100 very satisfactorally. I have a full bottle of gepc right now. Is the aio/s100 combo going to give more mind blowing looks on my dark green car...

Purchased it after some good reviews lately but it's browning my tires after a rain or a wash. A turn off! Anyone else getting this and will it stop after some applications? thx rd

I love the ease of application and the shine of s100/sec but does anyone else share my results. After a wash or two it seems that there is no more slickness to the finish what so ever and also the beads are not nice and circular as when it started out? I've tried s100 a number of times...

Is see some veterans and pros here are starting to recommend AA Original Shine. Has this oldie redeemed itself. I did some searches and see it's picking up steam. I would still use things like 303, #40 and Vinylex for the interior though. I'm looking for a high gloss tire and trim shine...

Just got the #38 and like it but It seems to have bled on to the paintwork and blotched on trim after the first wash. I did a wipe down after first application but maybe I could of done a little more. Anyone getting the same symptoms with #38? thx rd

I've got hundreds of car washes sitting on the shelf [ just kidding ] and have been using GC mostly. Purchased EO wet recentley and think it's pretty good with more slickness than GC. Are the majority of GC users moving over to NXT wash? I'll try it if the answer is yes! thx rd

Purchased #38 Trim & Tire Gel a few days ago and like it alot. I like it but for me it may be almost too thick when applying to tires. Anyone ever dilute it with a little #40 to change the consistency and make it apply a little easier. Hi Mike, Do you think this is feasible or are...

We all like to try and discuss products here at Autopia but does anyone know which brands and products seem to bubble up to the top on winning cars at the big events? Curious! I just read that at the Pebble Beach 50th Anniversary event 21 of the top 25 cars used Meguiar's products. thx...

Been a big time Vinylex user on my dash and interior vinyl skin for years now. I had some #40 on the shelf so I tried some and it looked very nice and very similar to Vinylex in presentation. Anyone know if #40 lasts longer than Vinylex in the cars interior? Or any other feedback on the...
