    Aquapel

    So my mom does contract work up high at PPG and got me free Aquapel. I tried it yesterday and I got pretty bad streaking. I was wondering if anyone had any tips. I broke the seal, applied as thinly as I could, let sit until it reacted, wiped off with paper towel as directed (I was going to...

    Menzerna on clearcoated car, not quite as happy.

    I reviewed Menzerna earlier on a nonclearcoated car and was very happy compared to SMR, but I used it on a black BMW that was clearcoated and really not that impressed with it. Maybe the Intensive didn't have enough bite to tackle these swirls/imperfections, but it didn't take care of the...

    Over polishing nonclearcoated car?

    My car isn't clearcoated and a couple of weekends ago, I used the Menzerna polishes with good results. I however, did not get all the imperfections especially on the hood that I would have liked. I've used DACP on a couple customers cars who have had clearcoats and have been in just terrible...

    Everything is Streaking

    I've never had this problem before, but on Sunday I was just washing my car normally. It was pretty hot out, so the water was drying up before it was water spotting. No problem I figure, I let the car sit in the garage for an hour or so, so the paint can cool off and use some Cyrstal Mist to...

    Is Big Blue @ CMA same as Microfibertech?

    I need some more big blue drying towels, and although I love CMA, the big blue drying towel @ www.microfibertech.com is 10 bucks cheaper. Are they the same towel?

    Menzerna is Great!

    I tried out the twins today, that is Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Polish. The most abrasive product I had ever used before this was 3M SMR, but that just wasn't cutting it. My car is a 92 so naturally it had some swirls. I washed my car with Dawn because last week I had just put...

    Menzerna application question

    I've read the reviews on Menzerna and have my bottles of Intensive and Final Polish sitting in my box of unopened supplies. I was going to try them out tomorrow, but had questions about application. In the booklet CMA sends, they are using Advanced Pads- I assume these aren't necessary- but...

    EF Black Opal vs. Black Sapphire

    I currently have EF Black Opal and absolutely despise it because of its terrible smell. I should not want to throw up everytime I use this product. I do like the shine however, so does Black Sapphire smell like Black Opal and how do you all feel about the two?

    Plexus

    I tried to use that database function, but had no idea what I was doing. I'm sure this product has been reviewed many times before, but I had never used Plexus before. I sprayed it on my tailights, fog lights, and headlights. All of them had a nasty opaque film on them, especially the...

    How to remove paint scuffs?

    This car I just picked up today to detail is in great shape, but it has some minor paint scuffs like where someone hit them pulling out of a parking space or scuffed it pulling into a garage or something. Is there any way I can get these out because I think it would make the car look so much...

    The Aftermath of Clearkote on my Black BMW

    Ok guys, I got my new Clearkote order, so naturally I had to try it out on this beautiful day in Kansas. I washed it with Eimann Fabrik Powerwash plus, then I put Vanilla Moose wax on with the white CMA pad, then followed it up with Moose Wax with the grey CMA pad. Then I did my wheels with...

    Just got my Clearkote order, have some questions.

    Now obviously Clearkote is pretty new and we all have been amazed at what these products can do in the hands of Scottwax, so perhaps he can shed some light to a few of my questions. 1. I have a 92 black BMW that is in excellent condition, but like most black car owners, have some swirls...

    1 day, 2 cars, customer wants Klasse

    Hey guys, I got a 911 Turbo and an SL500 to do on Friday and the guy is leaving town on Saturday so he wants both done on Friday and he wants "long lasting protection." Naturally I figured Klasse would be the way to go, AIO, SG, then P21S. I've always let my Klasse cure over night, so what are...

    Vapor Clean MF's

    I just got my sample pack which included 10 assorted towels. It cost $30 with shipping and I am pretty impressed. They are identical to the CMA's and Microfiber Tech. The ultra plush and ultra soft are very nice. This is what is included in the sample pack...

    4 day/$500 detail, have some questions.

    Hey guys, I just talked to one of my BMW friends and he wants me to detail his widebody M3 and essentially make it look perfect. He is letting me have it for 4 days and is paying up to $500, depending on how happy he is. I have never done anything this intense before, but I think I am up for...

    Painting my bumpers??

    Hey guys, I've got a 92 BMW 325i. It's a gorgeous black car, but it has a problem. BMW decided to make these cars with grey bumpers and side skirts. They stick out like a sore thumb, I'm sure you've all seen them. I've decided that it is something that I would like to fix, but have no idea...
