After humming and harring for some time now, I went to the Meguiars distribution / sales warehouse here in Sydney to pick up some DACP ( on the thought that it may be a touch more aggressive than my menzerna IP ). I looked around the small display stand they had up and couldnt find it, so I...

I gave the exterior a good going over last night, with Menzerna IP and FP then followed up with Megs #7 and S100. Now it was late last night, but when I was done, the car looked very nice under my 500W halogens and under the fluro's in the wash bay. A few minor swirl marks under the halogen...

I have just spent the best part of 4 hours doing the exterior of my car in the basement carpark wash bay in my units. While working the Menzerna FP, a guy parks his van and wanders over for a chat. I stop my PC as he casually flips me his business card and say that he is a professional detailer...

Is this possible or am I just dreaming? I am planning to 1zPP, IP and FP then follow up with AIO and SGx2, topping with: Megs #7 or P21S GEPC followed by S100 Any thoughts on this??

Is there any advantage / benifit or other to using an MF applicator over a foam applicator to apply wax ( S100/#16/#26 and possibly PS soon )? So far I have used the foam but I am contemplating an MF applictor or two...is it an actual step up or not?

After the car cruise last weekend ( and having to look at my mates car which they didnt even bother to wash!! :nono ) I offered to detail my mates cars for them. This was what I was up against for one of them! :scared And here was the bucket of QEW after I was done! :shocked...

Over the weekend, I had a car cruise to raise funds for the kiddies cancer hospital here in Sydney Australia, so it came as no surprise that I wanted my car to look a touch more than presentable ;) I have been playing with P21S GEPC on mates cars lately, but never my own, and being pressed for...

Given the choice between the below products which are locally available, what would you recommend and why for cleaning carpets and cloth upholstery ( seats etc )? - P21s TAW - EF Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner - Mothers Upholstery / Carpet Cleaner - Meguiars Odour Eliminator ( this an...

I am set to venture into the "detailing on the side for money" arena. So what would be the most user friendly sealant to use given that time is a constraint?? I currently have Klasse twins and NXT. I feel NXT is good ( ie quick, easy to use and turns out nice ), but is there better?? BF...

At a guess I think they are the same thing, but if they are not then let me know. Given that I have AIO and have used it as a base for S100 without the SG, is there room in my product range to utilise SEC / GEPC in place of the AIO for S100 only waxing?? Or am I not really going to see any...

Well I did it, I had my first go with QEW and all I can say is where has this product been hiding?? In a country like Australia where water restrictions are a part of life, this product is a goldmine in waiting. It initially takes a definite "leap of faith" to put that wash mitt to a dry...

With the tight water restrictions in Australia ( cannot use a hose at all unless you have a permit and containment matt - who can afford that for a weekly wash?!? ), I figure that QEW is an easy solution to my problem of wanting a clean car and sticking to the rules ( plus I have started doing...

Not having a go at Meguiars, but it seems to me that their range of products is way too many, meaning that a lot of very good products are hidden amongst a number of average products? And as a consequence, they have A lot of over-lapping products ( ie perform a very similar job with very little...

Just a quick one for those that have used NXT ( as I eagerly await its arrival here down under ) Is there any point to using AIO as a base prep for the NXT, or is it happy enough doing its own thing after I give the paint a good going over with the Menzerna twins? Thanks in advance guys....

I am going to fire up my "australian" version of the PC, and after reading a few threads, had a quick question. I am going to run with 1. Menzerna FP ( I have IP but my paintwork is basically new, previously clayed and I dont think needs it at this stage but I have it if needed ) 2. AIO...

Currently my polish arsenal is quite limited, consisting of the two Menzerna's ( IP and FP ). If I was to consider doing detailing for extra cash on weekends, what else should I add to my range to cover the majority of situations? Or is the IP and FP enough? TIA

My black car currently has 2xAIO and 3xSG, which has been fantastic. Up until today, I have been using Perls shampoo with fantastic results. Not very sudsy ( but I was expecting that after reading a few reviews here ), but it has great lubricity and leaves a super shine. Smells great, and I...

First up, being that S100 and PS21 are identical, why would anyone pay $10/jar more for the PS21?? Has had me stumped for some time now.. :confused: And how many applications to a normal sized sedan would a jar of S100 have on average? And is there a "used by date" on it? And for...

While not the greatest detailing job in the world, I am pretty happy with it. While I would love a PC, but the cost of getting one to Australia is astronomical ( about +$200 for the PC and I wouldn't even guess how much for freight... ), so for now, a clean and the Klasse twins will have to do...

First up, I am pretty new to "ultra finicky" detailing. I've used Megs ( hand applied ) in the past with good success but have decided, with the help of the persauisive views on this site, to step into the big leagues with my latest new car ( black Ford XR6 - not a well known car in the US so I...
