    Q for those with NXT Wash

    How strong do you guys mix up your NXT wash. I have been using 2 or 3 oz/ 3 gal water per directions. I was wondering if you could mix it a little weaker to minimize product usage.

    Window Tinting (pics)

    Got the stang tinted last week. 35% on the fronts and 15% in the rear. It is high quality Solar Guard brand film professionally installed. I'm not sure if it is dark enough, I have 20% on the jeep and I went lighter on the stang cause I thought it would be about the same darkness due to (1/2...

    Black, Is swirling unavoidable?

    I got like 95% of the swirls out of the paint last week w/ a non filling polish. This week after washing, I noticed a few new tiny swirls pop up. Is this something I am going to have to just live with on a black car. BTW, two bucket, sheepskin mits, Eagle 1 wash, microfibers

    Should I Undercoat?

    Should I spend the $5 and put some undercoating on my vehicle (which appears to be primed or single coat paint on the undercairrage) It is new, so now would be the best time to do it before it gets dirty

    Wash Mix Concentration

    Ok, on my bottles of Eagle 1, Zymol, and Crystal wash they all specify 1 oz/gal. I usually use 2 gal/car. Does everyone here use the recommended 1oz/gal or would .5oz/gal be OK? Washing w/ 2oz/wash is really making my wash supplies go quick!
