With winter approaching its time to prep the daily drivers (and garage queens) for winter. I am just about out of Lexol conditioner, which has always been a good product. The leather in my 98.5 SVT Contour, although in perfect condition, is starting to get a bit hard. I was thinking of...

So Im thinking of taking the plunge and buying SG to use on the daily drivers for winter. I did a search but didnt find the exact answer, is the Sonus Acrylic spritz "required" for the entended life of SG? Would a normal QD like FI work well too? Also would there be any issues to topping 1...

This poor thing, I dont htink has ever been waxed since new. Owner admited that it hasnt been washed "in a long time" either. The wheels were caked with burnt on brake dust (worse than it looks in the pic even!), the interior dusty / dirty, etc. I used up a clay bar and 2 pads (turned black)...

Well winter is on its way and with it comes snow and salt. YUUUCK! Anyway, the few cars I do on the side, most are looking for protection now. So Im thinking SG, or Zaino topped with #476 would be an all winter system. My question is how long does Zaino last on the shelf? I have some...

(this may belong in another forum, but does involve automotive detailing products) Yes this was different. It wasnt a car, truck, RV, bus or boat it was an acrylic fish tank! I know you are thinking Im nuts right about now. I bought this tank to setup as a tropical reef tank for less than...

The owners of this van have been wanting me to detail it, so I decided to give it a go this weekend. I figured if I could make this one look good I'd redeem myself from the Blackwood last weekend. Man this thing was NASTY!!! It took me about 8-8.5 hours to complete, which was good considering...

I was just wondering if there are any products that give the long lasting protection of Zaino, or Klasse SG? Maybe something easier to work with?

OK, Im a glutton for punishment. LAst weekend I was whining about the Blackwood I did that I wasnt satisfied with. This weekend I took in a Windstar that the owners have wanted me to do for a while. Wow is this thing a mess!!!! At least the outside is a light, metallic green. They have a...

I detailed a Blackwood this past weekend. Very nice truck, but bigger than it looks! The owner was happy with the resiults, but I wasnt satisfied. Sure all the pics look great but upon real close inspection there were many flaws that I couldnt get out. Products: DACP by PC on 6 VM by...

Is anyone here familiar with black, Lincoln paint? Is it hard or soft? Next weekend Im doing a Lincoln Blackwood, but the kicker is that it will be detailed specifically for a car show. So what would you use to remove swirls and give it the deepest, blackest shine? I have 3M, Megs, AIO...

The car is a 98.5 with about 61k miles, and is left outdoors 24/7. It had 2+ month old WG on it that was still beading great (only QD'ed 2x). But with all the rave reviews I decided to try the VM / EX combo. Steps wash with NXT wash hood / roof / trunk DACP w/yellow pad, PC on #6 (removed...

Here is what 2 month old Collinite 476 beads like. Pretty good huh? Many say this isnt a beauty wax, but after it "cures" it looks very deep and wet, on my red Lightning anyway. If you look to the far left side of the hhod you will see 1 week old S100, not much difference! Here is...

After reading all the excellent reviews about what a great swirl remover this is I decided to get some while I was at the autobody supply store today. I alos got a gallon of FD($21), a gallon of APC+($17) and some #16($9). Anyway I almost soiled myself when I heard the total, $78????? Looked...

Well after a long time looking, I picked this car up this past Wednesday. It was at a Checy dealer, they really didnt know what the car was and let it go for a bit over $6600, it has only 58k miles! It needed some detailing and I asked them not to let their "kids" detail it. i didnt want it...

I wonder if you Pro's can offer some help? Im looking for a topper that would last about 3 months. Something that looks nice, has minor filling abilities and durability. I like the results I get using NXT as a topper, but I think it lasts about 4-8 weeks. Suggestions? Also what is a good...

I was wondering if you guys follow the directions when applying the sealant? It says to apply in a circular motion and thouroghly massage into the surfcace (not an exact quote). I was under the impression it is best to apply / remove in straight lines?

I did an interior last night on an 02 sable with very light cream colored leather. I tried, for the first time, the woolite mix and was happy with it. it cleaned well, doesnt have a strong odor and didnt leave residue. What Im wondering is: 1. What do you pro's use on the tougher spots...

I was wondering about the use of 2-step sealants (like WG and Klasse) over glazes? Does this make any sense? Will the pre-polishes (WG and AIO) remove the glaze before applying the sealant? Or would it be better to glaze over sealnt and how long should the cure before beingf topped (like if...

I have noticed on some of my MF's that there seems to be one side that is a little plusher than the other. Is the plush side the "right" side, or does it matter? Also what is the best way to wash/dry MF's? I just washed mine (old and new) in Woolite on warm, rinsed with vinegar and put in...

I was just readiong the CMA newsletter regarding Raggtopp products. I was just wondering if anyone has used the vynil prtotectant on exterior trim / tires? If so how does it compare to others like 303, etc? Also How does the fabric top protector work at protecting seats/carpets and mats...
