I noticed the BoS Paste Wax is not currently listed for sale on the website. Curious if that means it`s temporarily unavailable or has it been discontinued?

I think I`ve decided coatings aren`t really for me. I have given them a fair shake, most recently with Adam`s Graphene Advanced coating. I fully understand the benefits of a coating, but I`m just not sure the extra time and effort required before and during application/removal is worth it for...

I joined Autopia back in 2003 or 2004, I don`t remember exactly. My original screen name was BlackSunshine, which I saw floating around on here when I would peek my head in from time to time and it was definitely not me. Anyways, when I joined I was a college student and had just bought a new...

I still check in from time to time but have to say I don't recognize most of the usernames these days. 

Yesterday I found some time to clay the Regal and try out my new Duragloss products. It had been a long time since I'd used anything other than Optimum Car Wax, so I was a little out of sync (and lazy) so I put the 601 and 105 on a little thick. I waited a few hours, but they were just not...

I've got an order of Duragloss coming in. I ordered some 601 Bonding Agent and am wondering how it compares to the old Zaino Z1. It sounds like you use it the same way as the Z1. Just curious what to expect.

Hey guys, I figured I would post this here and see if anybody had any suggestions for cleaning behind the quarter window louvers on my Mustang. These are adhered the car and can't be easily removed. Water gets behind them and dries to the glass and the slats are pretty narrow... way too...

Hey guys, I just picked up a new truck. I've been a car guy for several years now, so washing all the real estate on this is going to be a new experience for me. It's not gigantic by any means, just a basic 4x4 F-150, but I'm used to washing much smaller vehicles. Short of standing up...

A few guys have asked me about my car so I thought I'd put up a couple pics. These were taken with a crappy camera, and this was no full detail by any means. Just pulled it out of the garage, gave it a once over with QD and snapped some pics. Last time I detailed it, I used...

I am needing a new machine polish to use on my Corvettes. They have the typical hard clearcoats and are silver in color. I am interested in the new Meg's polishes, but am not too familiar with them, and I am also interested in the SIP/106 combo. I am open to any suggestions, however. I...

Hi all,it's been a while since I started a thread like this (or like any other, for that matter) as I've been busy just enjoying the plethora (over abundance?) of detailing supplies that grace (clutter?) my shelves in the garage. I got bit hard by the detailing bug and wanted to get my hands on...

:p FINALLY smells good!!!!!!!!!!! I hadn't realized they changed the fragrance till last night when I Z5Pro'd my C6. :bounce :woot: I am so thrilled with the new(er) Zaino products. I have been wanting an AIO that would make ZFX optional for so long, and now we have it. ZCS is cool, but...

1Z Lackfinish. I had been wanting to try this for a long time, but was waiting to put together an order from PakShak before ordering it. I got it today over my lunch hour and used it on my slightly dusty/buggy Corvette which has Zaino on it. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this QD...

So the second time I used my new ZCS, I dropped my ZCS only Zaino applicator pad on the garage floor. In the trash it went, I'm not taking any chances. I don't have any other Zaino applicator pads that haven't been used before. What other kind of applicator pads work well with this stuff...

These aren't really detailing pictures, but more just showing off my new car, although they have both been detailed, the pictures aren't close up or anything like that. Anyways, I just thought I'd share these pics. Thanks for looking. :getdown :getdown

Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not, but anyways, I'm selling my GTO. You can see the details here: http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1834055#post1834055

For you bikers out there, this stuff is awesome for bugs and general road grime after a long ride. I am using the Harley-Davidson labelled equivalent. I rode my bike today about 110 miles on business and when I got back it was covered in bugs. I first tried S&W but it didn't do much. I tried...

Speed Shine -- Griot's carnauba based QD spray. I absolutely love this stuff. It's $9.99 for 35 ounces. It is super slick, has great cleaning ability, and refuses to streak over carnuabas. I have not tried it over sealants, as it does have a small (<1%) carnauba content so I prefer to keep...

I finally got around to applying my wax with the PC and a finishing pad. I had always just done the LSP by hand before, usually a paste carnauba for the GTO. Needless to say, I'm hooked on PC application now. The only liquid carnaubas I had on hand were CMW, #26, and 845 (hardly a liquid). I...

I'm just curious what QD those of us who still cherish a good ole pure carnauba like to use after washing to renew gloss, slickness, etc. Number one for me is probably Griot's Speed Shine. I love the heck out of it. It has never streaked for me (although I never QD under direct sun), it...
