I've got some new wheels that need to have the tires fitted. I plan on using Opti-Coat 2.0 on them, but I don't know if I should wait for the tires to be fitted and wheel weights glued on or can I Opti-Coat them now and do the balancing after? Will the wheel weights stick ok to Opti-Coat or...

Are there any? I've searched the forum for some opinions on Mothers products, but didn't find anything really good about them. I've discovered a source for them over here and I was wondering if there anything really worth having.

Hi guys, I got a touch-up paint kit from VW with paint and lacquer. I want to use it to "touch-up" some stone chips on the side of my doors but in order to do this with a very fine brush I would like to thin the paint a little. I don't know what type of thinner I need, nitro, alkyd...

Hi folks, What is the cut level of DG 501 on Meguiars scale? What Menz/Megs polish would it be comparable to in terms of cut?

Almost everywhere I read about paint-cleaners, DG501 comes up every time :) I've used SRP and Carlack NSC (european version of KAIO) so far and I was wondering how do they compare to DG501. Anyone used both?

Hi Has anyone tried this combination? I'm wondering if the durability of Wofgang Deep Gloss Paing Sealant would be compromised if put over a glaze like the Pinnacle XMT that also contains carnauba.

I'm looking to buy some QD and my alternatives are Optimum NRWS (and dillute it to make a QD) or Automagic BodyShine. What do think? Does NRWS the job of a QD or should I go for a straight QD like BodyShine is?

This is who my car looks after washing it yesterday after-noon. From last evening until now all that dust has set on it. What can I do? I can't take it anymore! :angry :bawling:

Hi I've recently found a Automagic distributor in my area and thinking of getting one of their wash mitts. Anyone used them? Anygood? Also I'm lacking a glaze in my collection and Automagic New Car Glaze is one of the few available here. Is it worth getting it? Did any of you got some...

Hello autopians I'm looking for an abbrasive polish and I have to choose between these two: Sonax Polish&Wax (2 or 3) and Megs #80 Speed Glaze. These two are the only quality products I can find around here. My car has almost 6 years, it's dark green, pretty neglected (for the last 2 years...
