Well, I've got spring fever bad. For the last couple of weeks I have been compiling a list of new products I think I want to try. As soon as a good Detailed Image/Autogeek Discount comes around I plan to pull the trigger. I already have a decent arsenal, but I am running low on certain...

May seem like a stupid question, but 303 Aerospace claims that there products "protect" better than any other product on the market. Went nuts with the stuff on the interior of my SS this past Thursday (also conditioned my seats with Zaino... the seats smell great). I was just wondering how I...

Hello, I recently had a guy join one of the corvette forums I am apart of; he sells detail supply. Never paid much attention, till today when I ran across what I believe to be one of his products. The name of the product is Brown Royal Wheel Cleaner.... It is made by FLASH. I did a seach...

Finally got my Danase Wet Glaze today. Took like 2 years, but I finally had a reason to make a decent purchase and ordered it along with the other stuff i bought. I do have a few questions however; as I am not sure what approach I want to take with this stuff. On my car I am using it as...

So winter is getting long around here. Can't wait to get my Impala back out and on the road full time again. For the time being I have been driving my Monte Carlo which has 200K on it. But I am getting awfully tired smelling that heavy scent of burning motor oil coming through the vents. The...

Another interesting day here with "my" car. So today I decide that I am going to take my Impala SS out for a ride. But first I decide that I am going to wash it down, because its a "warm" day here in NY (38*F). The car has been sitting outside for two months now. Its got 2 coats of P21s...

So, I got this ingenious idea that I would head over to my parents house, where one of my cars is currently being stored and wash it because it was getting dirty. So its like 35*F and I don't want to risk using the outdoor hose line just in case its frozen from the last set of 20*F days we've...

Hello, So here's the deal. I am a recovering Zaino addict that recently got turned on to a Carnuba Wax. I gave P21s a try for the first time and the results are absolutely stunning on my black car. This year, I would like to spend more time driving my car, and less time polishing it...

Hello, Here's the deal. I am addicted to Zaino Tire Gloss. I love the way it looks, and I love how easy it is to apply. What I like most about it though is that it NEVER slings no matter how many coats you use. It's not slimy and it absorbs into the tire, rather than sitting on it like a...

I am looking at purchasing Pinnacle Paste Wax... and I see they offer liquid wax also. I will be purchasing the paste wax. I was just wondering which wax most people purchase and why. I guess I like the paste wax because it seems more formal, and I equate the liquid wax with cheap junk like...

So today, Christmas, was 40*F outside. So I decided to get out there, and wash and wax my Impala. My product of choice was 476s for the winter. I began my wash around 3:00pm and it was 38*F, got it 99% dry and then began to apply the wax. By the time I hit the hood the sun was retreating. I...

I just thought of something today when I was freezing my *SS off in my garage. I have a set shelves in my garage devoted to storing my products. Its winter here in NY and I was just wondering if I should be concerned about any of my products making it through the winter. My garage typically...

Well its officially winter here in NY. Boy am i glad I spent all that time 2 weeks ago de-swirling the finish on my Impala SS :rolleyes: . The car is not to bad yet but we got like 2 feet of snow total and I have no way of washing the car. For the last couple of years I have seen ONR threads...

Here's the situation. I live in NY and its snowing like crazy. I just de-swirled my Impala, and coated it with P21s. Shortly after, it snows of course. Today it took my 2 hours to get the snow off using my air compressor to blow it off the vehicle. I don't want to you a brush for obvious...

Hello, Recently I tore into my 96SS again with Megs 82 and then topped it off with some P21S. Car looks stunning as it usually does after I detail it. (The hard part is keeping black looking that way!) I noticed the my rear quarter panels looked "whited out" prior to the detail but the...

I am so angry right now. I have done more cars than I can count over the past 2 years and I have never had this problem. The worst part, is that it is on my OWN CAR! Everybody elses car is perfect, and mines all f'ed up. Heres whats happening. I have a 96 Impala SS. From what I...

I use Megs 105 with a yellow, orange or white pad? I have asked similar pad vs. polish questions before, but it seems like in the past year a lot of miracle products have been turning up. I am asking this for a reason. I do mostly GM cars with very hard clear. My impala for example I will...

Hey guys, Spent my weekend working on this ZO6. This is an interesting one. Normally I like to start off by assessing the paint. There was absolutely nothing on this car. It looked ok from 4ft, but any closer, the paint was lackluster and "whited out." Of course my camera couldn't really...

2 years ago, prior to my induction into the autopia cult, I was tricked into buying a huge bottle of 3M Imperial Hand Glaze from a local body shop that was fixing a friends car. I have had this bottle on my shelf for quite sometime. I was never told what to use it for. After cleaning out my...

I just realized that I forgot to order pad lube. Till now i have been using QD as a pad lube, but it just doesn't feel right. What are you guys using??? DG
