Before moving permanently from the Northeast to South Carolina this year, I always drove dedicated winter tires. Nokian Hakkapeliitta and Michelin X-Ice were the tires of choice. I always viewed all season tires as "Jack of all trades, Master of none" for winter performance. Both of my cars were...

I`m looking for some feedback on matte wheel coatings. I`ve got a couple of products in mind, but I`m hoping someone can recommend a coating that they`ve had a good experience with. The candidates are CarPro CQuartz DLux, and Gyeon Q2 Rim. I know Dr. Beasley`s makes a matte wheel cleanser and a...

Does anyone have experience with both of these clay alternatives? I was looking to try a claying mitt or towel. The Griot`s is 2X the price of the Blackfire, but is it really twice as good?

No palm trees up North .... BOSS Fast Correcting Cream > CarPro Essence on Subaru Venetian Red Pearl paint. Props to MARC08EX for the BOSS FCC/Pad recommendation!

I`m having a salad as well ....

I'm looking to do more rinseless washing this year, and I was wondering what's the best type of microfiber to use. I checked out the Poorboy's DMT towel mentioned in the Poorboy's Towel thread, but $10.95 to ship half a dozen towels seemed a bit on the high side to me. Is there an ideal towel...

I'm going to be helping a friend detail his car and it's a black BMW. I'd like to keep any marring down to a minimum so I'm looking for a mild detail clay. Two choices that come to mind are Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine & Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay. Is the current Sonus Ultra-Fine the same formula/grade...

I recently purchased Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection in the sample size bottle. The label contains no directions, but I found this in the product description @ the Autopia Car Care Store .... "Apply BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection by hand or dual-action...

Can anyone suggest a quality portable air compressor that plugs into the cigarette lighter? I purchased a Sears Craftsman model that lasted for exactly one tire. I'd prefer something small since it's going to stay in the trunk, but I need something dependable as well. Thanks!
