Despite having more layers of EX-P than I care to remember, Bird "deposits" are still damaging my clear coat. I don't know whether the BMW clear is somewhat softer than other paints or what, but surely this shouldnt happen after such a short period of time. Are there any sealants / waxes...

How are you guys using the CG wet mirror finish ultra slick non-stick goss magnifier are you using it as a glaze or as an LSP?

Hello All I'm looking for a way to boost hosepipe water pressure. I don't want the intense pressure associated with a pressure washer, but I do want more effective pressure through the Foam gun and through the fire hose nozzle. Accumulator, I've seen in a couple threads you mention you have...

Happy Friday all, Anyone know what would be a good product to apply to Alcantara (imitation suede) to provide stain protection? I have purchased a new vehicle where the front squab of the seat is in a light gray alcantara material and rather susceptible to stains. Having read the label...

Does anyone know of any Auto Boutiques around LA where I will be able to pickup some detailing stuff - Sonus, Zaino etc.. while in town next weekend? Thanks

Any product recommendations for moderate swirling on Toyota black. From what I read, there appears to be difference in opinion as to whether the clear is hard or soft. I know to start with the least abrasive and work up if it needs it, but look to recommendations as to what sort of cut I...

I have a Porter Cable, but have some light marring which doesn't seem to be shifting, regardless of pad or polish combination. Would a rotary give me any benefits in this scenario?

Has anyone used 303 Wiper treatment on a screen coated with Aquapel? I've seen good reports on the 303 Wiper treatment, but unsure of how it will work on an aquapel treated screen. Typically, anything on the screen causes the wipers to smear and judder.

What are the experts opinion on PO85RD vs OP? Which has more bite? Which has more gloss Which is the most flexible? Which dusts the least? And any other thoughts? I've just ordered some OP following the thread on the forum about the favorite products. Would like to know if there...

I used Megs #83 on a yellow cutting pad to try and get rid of some random scratches on my door., following up with PO85RD on a white polishing pad and finally PO85RD on a black finishing pad. I still have some minor micro marring. What did I do wrong? Should I have followed up with the #83...

Hi All, At the weekend, I detailed the rubbers surrounding my windows with PB Natural look. Now we have had some light rain, they have gone "spotty" where the water droplets were sat. If I rub them, the spots disappear, however, is there a product which will protect those items without...

Interested if their is a technical/scientific reason behind the recommendations to allow the sealant to sit for 24 hours before applying a wax topper. Is there a cure time associated with sealants that applying wax will interfere with?

I now have managed to get the gloss and depth I'm looking for, and in all conditions apart from bright direct lighting the finish looks flawless. Are minor spiderwebs inevitable, or should I be doing something different to get a glass like finish. I've gone down to SSR1, glazed with CG EZ...
