    Benefits of a sealant vs. carnauba for enthusiast?

    I have kind of moved away from working on other peoples cars and focused most of my attention on my car, my new home and my new job. Having done so, I have much more time to focus only on my cars and their paint condition. Now, my silver Z06 will always either have Z2Pro or UPP (which it has...

    P21S Gel vs. Griot's Wheel Cleaner

    These two seem like the two wheel cleaners I'd most likely use on a somewhat regular basis (twice a month or so) because I feel they are pretty safe. Has anyone used both and how do you think they compare? I have only used the P21S and A2Z. Thanks.

    Which QD has not impressed you?

    I am a QD junky... I love them and have tried almost all of them that are still available. I QD my car almost every day because it's so easy and enjoyable to me. I probably have close to 25 different detail sprays and although I only use a handful frequently, I like having them all for when I...

    Initial review/impressions of Griot's Speed Shine

    This was the first product I had tried from the Griot's line and I must say I was quite skeptical prior to useage. I only ordered the smaller 8 oz. size and it has a very fine mist spray pump type nozzle on it which is perfect for my application. I used it on the gas tank (okay it's actually...

    Sonus Acrylic Glanz, where have you been all my life?

    This stuff rocks. I recently polished my car with Menzerna FPII, applied an acyrlic base with Jeff's Werkstatt Prime, and applied one layer of Acrylic Jett (version 2 method). I had intended last night to add another layer of AJ, but I was in a lazy mood and didn't feel like fighting with its...

    Final verdict whether QEW contains wax?

    I am going to add my second layer of AJ this evening and am going to wash with QEW beforehand to remove dust accumulation from two days worth of driving. I was wonderingg if I could go straight from QEW to AJ (spray method) or if it would be wise to hit the car with Acyrlic Glos prior to sealing.

    Leather care Griot's style.... questions

    When I run out of Z-10 (which has long been my go-to conditioner) I am thinking of giving the Leather Care from Griot's a try just for curiosity's sake. Looking back at some old posts, it seems a lot of people really like it, and it may just be cost effective because from what I have read, a...

    Meguiar's Supreme Shine MF's

    This are quickly becoming my favorite MF towel. They are larger than the Pakshak Ultra Plushes (and cheaper) and can be bought locally. They have the nice border like the Pakshak towels and are plush on both sides whereas the Ultras are super plush on one side and fine on the other. Since I...

    Griot's now has a paint sealant

    I say "now" but for all I know it has been out for a while. I was just browsing through their website and saw it the other night and thought to myself that I hadn't heard anything about it here on the forum. I know what the general consensus about Griot's stuff is (for the most part), but I...

    Having trouble polishing out minor swirls

    I decided to redo my GTO this evening and went ahead and clayed it and got it ready for polishing. I was using Propel 4" pads on the trouble areas (trunk lid/spoiler) and using their orange (light cutting) pad with Menzerna IP and then their green (polishing pad) with P0106FF. The marks are...

    Which of these polishes is most effective by hand?

    I've got swirl marks on the gas tank (well, it's really an airbox cover) on my Harley V-Rod and there's no way I'm going to try to take a PC to it, even with 4" pads... It's just way too contoured. I have some of the little handheld "German" pads from Autogeek that have orange pad on one side...

    Griot's Speed Shine vs. forum favorite QD's

    I noticed while glancing through an old Griot's handbook and laughing at their ridiculously high prices that a 35 ounce (not sure why it's not just 32 oz.) bottle of their Speed Shine was only 10 bucks plus almost three dollars for a spray nozzle :nervous: That's not a bad price for 35 ounces...

    Sonus Acrylic Glanz with Jeff's AJ?

    I've got a bottle of Prime, AJ, and Acyrlic Gloss in the mail and am thinking about using them on my GTO after I polish with Menzerna. I have a full bottle of Sonus Acrylic Glanz on the shelf that I bought with my first two bottles of the Klasse Twins a couple of years ago and was wondering if...

    UPP topped with Signature Series?

    Anybody have any experience with this combo? I'm going to be doing this tomorrow to my Machine Silver Metallic Corvette and was wondering if anybody had any reason to advise against doing so. I have never topped UPP in the past, but have some Sig. I need to get rid of. Thanks.

    Menzerna PO106FF...which pad via PC?

    I received my sample of this polish today from flatstick and am going to be using it on my 2004 Corvette Z06. I know they have pretty hard clearcoats but I'd like to stay away from a cutting pad if possible because the paint is not in bad shape... just has never been polished. Does this polish...

    What to use on scratched/discolored black plastic kick panel?

    I have a nasty whitish gray scuff obviously from one of the clowns at the dealership on the driver's side footwell near the rounded edge by the driver's side door. I cannot get it out, but so far all I have tried is Poorboy's Trim Restore. It has cleaning agents in it so I thought that if it...

    Poorboy's Natural Look and Trim Restore praises

    I have only been using these two products for a couple of months and I have fallen in love with them both. They're so easy to use and yet are so effective. I use the Trim Restore on rubber trim, moldings, wheel wells, etc. and Natural Look on door panels, dash, kickboards, etc. They are...

    One pad for entire car?

    I am going to be using IP/FPII on my GTO when the polishes arrive early next week and have a question regarding pad useage. First of all, I'm not sure whether I can get away with using a polishing pad with the IP. My car has wash induced marring... no serious swirls, so I'd hate to take a...
