Man time flies! I used to frequent autopia often, spent a lot of money based on recommendations from this board. Life got in the way and other things took precedence. My old MFT collection is getting long in the tooth which was what reminded me to come here! I haven't really been detailing as...

Three coats of OS later, I found these on the paint. Anyone seen anything similar? The paint was just polished out (washed after) The OS was applied with a Cobra MF...could the MF be shedding? A QD just kinda pushes them around, the hairs seem to cling to the paint.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about home distillation? Is it an economical option? With all the threads about dust and pollen on recently washed cars, it got me thinking about pouring a gallon or two of distilled water over the car to wash the dust/pollen away and also using...

For those of you that use this product, what have you found to be the best means of application? I used this product for the first time the other day on my personal car. The front fenders are plastic lined and very clean. I can barely fit my hand into the arches but first sprayed them and...

I found the new Wolfgang 3.0 TSR and FG on sale a little while back that put them at a lower price point then the Menzerna SIP and 106ff they're supposed to be based on. Anyways, I had a couple hours and a black BMW to play around with. Granted, I only took one shot (should have done an IPA...

Does anyone have any experience with this product or company? This Ci-Tri-Jell *sounds* promising. The label itself says its a Citrus APC "Ci-Tri-Jell is a medium viscosity, water-based all-purpose cleaner gel. Because of its thicker consistency, Ci-Tri-Jell stays where it is applied...

Had a little bit of free time today and boredom quickly set in. I had access to two dirty wheels that needed a little bit of cleaning and decided I would try a quick test. As mentioned this was a quick test, that said, this isn't meant to be scientific and is probably more for my entertainment...

I'm not sure if this is limited to my store or region or of if it is at all stores. I went to the Harley Davidson store to pick up some S100 Total Cycle Wash (supposed to be the exact same product as P21s TAW) and was delighted to find that the cleaning products are currently 10% off. This...

GF and I have an anniversary coming up. I'm rather clueless on what kind of gift I should get her this year. She's 24.... sorry for the vagueness, she really doesn't have any hobbies that she's head over heels for.

Any feedback on these? ULTI-MIT Wash Mitt & ULTI-MIT Scrubber Wheel Mitt by Lake Country IN STOCK

from a true no touch home wash. Something that doesn't involve a mit and honestly/truely gets cleans the paint as if it were mitt washed.

Can perceived clearcoat marring actually be only to the protectant layer? Simply states...I see straightline marring on a vehicle only under very very specific lighting, is it possible that what I'm seeing is imperfections to the protectant layer (sealant/wax/whatever)? Or does that not happen?

Sun came out today so I thought I'd detail the little lady's car. I took some before images but they don't really show how dirty the car was. There was literally clumps of pollen in every nook. The car has some minor marring and I wasn't so much wanting to remove it. It's a 10 year old...

Took my car to a pay and spray last night because a stupid cat got its dirty *** paws onto my hood once again. Today I discovered HORRIBLE waterspotting. It didn't come off with a QD wipedown and I don't have the time to wash the car until atleast Thursday. I just put some ONR in a...

This car is full of water spots and swirls but my mom didn't really want me to tackle them and I didn't really have the time. First, washed the car with ONR. Then used Z-AIO on everything. I tried it on an orange LC pad on the hood and received a little bit of hazing, took it out with Z-AIO...
