Found the new Extreme Simple Green Motorsposts at Pepboys today--$7.99 for 32 oz spray bottle. Don't know if they have gallons, but it appears much different than standard Simple Green Extreme Simple Green Motorsports Cleaner & Degreaser From the website: Extreme Simple Green Motorsports...

Don't have access to an air compressor so I clean foam pads on the fly with a towel and denture brush--works great, but I'm going to pick up a few Optimum MF Cutting pads and was wondering can I clean them effectively on the fly using the brush and/or towel without damaging the MF pads???

If typically using 4 orange pads per car how many MF Cutting pads would be needed per car assuming you are cleaning the pad often with a brush? Don't have an air compressor.

When using MF Cutting pads do you tend to use fewer pads per car than say an orange foam pad (4 per car)??

Prior to this I have given two cars a coat of LSP using the GG RO and done a few test areas with UNO, but this is my first full polishing so be gentle, but I do appreciate comments particularly anything I can do to improve my technique, etc. This was a full detail including the engine...

Is it OK to use HD Speed on plastic chrome (2007 VW) by hand or am I best off to just give the chrome a coat of POXY?? Thanks!!!

Is there a dressing that can be used to darken rubber floor mats that does not make them slippery???

I live in a community of 136 homes--mostly people over 60. I detail my own cars and have recieved many questions on how I get my cars looking so good. When I expain not many are interested in taking the time or have the knowledge to detail their own cars. Since I'm not willing to grow my...

When experienced detailers offer advice to us beginners I've seen many mention "Don't overwork the product" and am confused as to what it means. If using UNO, which has a long working time, can you use 6 passes (if the paint needs it) with firm pressure and then 2 passes with light pressure to...

Take a look at this Foam Gun eZall Products - powerful, reliable Foamer -- Great for Total Body Wash, Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Shampoos etc. You can pick it up at some Tack Shops for around $30. It looks surprisingly similar to the CG Foam Blaster (that was suposedly developed specifically...

What happened to HD Total? Can't find it on either website.

My local Home Depot has 5 gallon buckets for $1.33 but the bad news they only have light green and light purple (my wife calls it lavender) Seem about the same as the Home Depot orange buckets. If I remember these were priced at $4.95 a few months ago.

With a quick look at the new products: Both Uno and Polish directions say to prime pad with Touch and apply 6-8 pea sized drops of UNO or Polish--certainly different than 3 pea sized drops--did "less is more" go away??? New pads look very similar to stock Buff and Shine pads with a full...

Happened to be in Walmart yesterday and to my surprise they now have a section in their detailing isle for Megs pro products--M105/205, D300/301, MF pads and quite a few other products--it looked like they were not quite completely finished setting up the area so they may add more.

As I read about the KBM it seems to make sense for most polishes until I start thinking about UNO. Since "less is more" with UNO would the KBM decrease UNO's performance???

After considerable prodding on my part was able to get my wife to attend the auto show on Friday -- even though we are replacing her car it took some convincing. So she has narrowed her choices to the Kia Soul or the Nissn Cube and I was just curious if anyone has general thoughts on Kia and...
