Let's see the opinions! What are the 10 most significant Carnauba pastes?

I almost forgot!!! This was the TW stand...

As always, Mercedes-Benz was proudly present at the 75th Geneva Motor Show. With more than heavy emphasis on diesels, they've presented new, diesel powered concepts. Such as the Vision SL400 CDI, or the amazing Vision SLK320 CDI Tri-Turbo. Yes, 3 turbochargers... While the bigger roadster...

I came home from Geneva yesterday, where besides the cars there is a little taste of carcare. Although the stands are limited in space, usually one can make excellent impressions of the cars/products on display. One exception was Carlack. Its stand was by far the most primitive I've ever...

I have found this little helper on an Austrian detailing site. I think it is pretty useful, because it is soft, won't scratch anything, and makes the sides/wheels/roofs more accessible. You have to attach it to the exhaust pipe, and the engine (or a compressor) inflates it. It has a 3-ton...

At the end of the month, I'll visit the Geneva International Auto Show as usual. But the weather was not that cooperative. On 26th of Jan., a 80 mph wind has arrived, with the following results. Wanna detail these???

As I was browsing through the 3M homepage, I've found these. Pretty good I think. The PI III & the Trizact are the same. http://www.3m.com/us/auto_marine_aero/aad/solutions/video/index.jhtml Opinions?

Hi guys, I plan a short trip to London just before Xmas, and plan to buy a jar of Meg's #16. Where can I get it? I think AG SRP & PR is more common; I plan to include them as well. Suggestions?

For all pros, vendors, sponsors, etc.! What are the biggest misbeliefs, misinfos & BSs you (we) can read on the detailing forums? Recently, on more than one threads we could read about such 'mis-things'. Opinions? Think of product usage, application, protection evaluation, technique...

Hi! Browsing through the locally available PCs, I've found this: X 1107 VE The powerful FLEX orbital sander with dust collection The powerful all-round sander with variable speed control for coarse and fine wood finishing, painted metal surfaces and automobile body work. The extremely...

I started a similar thread in the Ask the Manufacturer section, but I'd be glad to get more exposure. We know the fact that GW takes off all the previous coats. But what is the point in that? Every product that contain concealers and/or carnauba (MP, WPS, or whatever that has minor filling...

Mike, I've heard that Glanz takes off everything from the surface to ensure proper bonding. Are the solvents in it that strong? No matter what is it? AIO? Any sealant? "Heavy-duty" carnaubas? When I applied it to my dark green Camry, I was amazed, how it went a loooong way. It darkened the...

(All information courtesy of Honda Motor Co. Ltd.) Maybe the first non-lousy factory paint job? As we all could see, todays paints were/are crappy. I remember my first trip to Japan, in 93; where I saw lots of beautifully finished cars. For example Nissan had a paint system called SFC (Super...

Yesterday I got tiny samples from Riwax. It is a Swiss brand, and unlike Zymöl & Swissol (aka Swizöl), they are focusing mainly on the Body Shop Pro customers, but they have industrial carwash products too. They work fast, well, and even the grittier ones (think of SSR 3, Heavy Cut...

Anyone knows who is the manufacturer of the FMJ? I know, it's a small supplier, but here in Hungary I couldn't find any references to it. Menzerna is not available at all... :nixweiss

Hi all, Did somebody have experience with Bosch's two mode random orbit polisher? I'm seriously thinking on it. Recommendations? http://www.bosch-presse.de/TBWebDB/en-US/PressText.cfm?Search=1&id=1704&SessionID=796230 or also...

Hi all, I have some bird etchings on my roof. They are really bad; going down deeply to the primer. I saw a German video on an on-site correction method with great results. They used an airbrush to blast tiny jets of basecoat, then dried, sanded and finished with clear. Of course...

In terms of abrasiveness and general abilites/qualities, what are the equivalents of AutoGlym Paint Renovator? Think of stuff like Poorboy's, 3M, Auto Magic, 1Z, etc., etc...

Hi! If you use a resin base product, what toppers bond to it well? Think of AutoGlym SRP. Wanna finish it with some eve better protection but I don't know what to use. Acrylic, like Klasse AIO/SG? Carnauba? Both?

Today I found a new, seemingly good TW product (don't :rofl!!!). It is called Turtle Wax ClearVue Wax and is supposedly the world's first completely clear wax, with no coloring or other impurities whatsoever. It is a clear liquid - but no hints to the ingredients, or material composition...
