I'm thinking it will be, but I just wanted to make absolutely sure Max Wax doesn't have any cleaners in it. My car is outside as we speak waiting to be topped off!

I'm quite happy with the way I've learned to clean glass with water and two MF's the only room for imrovement that I can find it to find a quality MF that doesn't lint any. I've tried all kinds and cant seem to get anywhere. I suppose I could live with it if I can't find anything, but if...

The car below is my GF's 96' Cavalier, I'll be doing a full detail on it soon. As I was out taking before pics today. I took a picture of some damage on the front bumper where she was trying to eat and drive, and rear-ended a jeep with a hitch reciever. I was in the car with her to warn her to...

While claying, I've been using PB's S&W as lube. I got to thinking, "This could get expensive!" I really like to use a lot of lube when I clay, to avoid getting any deep scratches. I've heard a lot about people using thierwash solution as lube, but I feel like this wouldn't sypply enough...

After using one of my polishing pad for a small while today, I began to notice a small dip, forming in the direct center of the pad. I hear of people using thier pads for a very long time, but this has me a little worried. What if, fresh polish gets caught up in the little "pocket" and releases...

As the title states, where can I get it? I heard something like they didn't sell it in the states, or something similar.

I've had my PC for quite some time now, but was only able to use it on glass, as I didn't have any pads. I've read way too many posts here on Autopia, and you guy's have greatly affected my wallet, and my way of life, all I do is work on my car now, lol. Well, today I finally decided to put my...

The rear window trim on my Intrepid is all dull looking and faded. I've tried many products over the years, 303, Back to black, ect ect. Pretty much everything that I've tried, has acted like a tire dressing, just rests on the surface and makes it look more glossy and turns it a little darker...

This site has been a great help to me, and my detailing skills, and my car, have improved a LOT just from reading daily on here! But I would like to bring up an issue that I think it's about high time it needs to be discussed: I'm very dissapointed at how, there are so very few detailing vid's...

I've heard a lot about people replacing the trigger nozzle on the gun with a shut-off valve. This in effect creates quite a usable handle, with a lever or button to control the flow of water. I have the gun, and was wandering what kind of shut-off valve do you guys prefer? I went to my local...

I live in Boone, NC, where they religeously believe in road salt/sand, as a result, people that live up here have the dirtiest cars, after just one trip to the store! As I was washing my car today, I tried to hose off as much dirt as possible off the car before washing, in order to prevent heavy...

I would go to wal-mart and buy a car cover, but I'm not sure those el-cheapo ones are that great/are paint-safe. Would it be a good idea to get a really cheap one tho? I really cant bear seeing her in so much pain. I'm broke as my avatar states, and can't afford one of the better ones, but...

What might I use to get this cleared up a bit...... Meg's PlasticX maybe? Would a plastic polish do more harm than good on such a delicate surface? It's really discouraging to look at.....thanks ahead of time for all the help. :-)

How many uses do you think an average wool wash mitt such as the ones from Wal-Mart, hold up to. I noticed today that there was some wool strands in the rinse bucket, and that it didnt feel as plush as it used to. I'm going to go buy a new one but I was curious as to what everyone else thinks...

:sadwavey: Guys, I feel like I've been being too picky about how I wash my car here lately. Theres been times where it is taking me over an hour just to wash the Intrepid. I'm doing a basic two bucket wash, with a wool wash mitt. My process is as follows - 1. Spray off panel with hose to...

Is it good to use with propel pads, excel detail is out of 6" backingplates and I'm a noob. I would order the 5 inch, but something tells me that a 6" would give you more even pressure on the pad

If I were to stick some velcro on the bottom of it, would it be just as good as any other 6" backing plate you can buy? It looks like it would work pretty decent. Suggestions?

Last week I bought Folex at Lowes and It was retarded how well it works! I just couldn't believe that the stains were dissapearing in frontof me as soon as it hit the surface. This has definately become my go-to. I've been doing some work with it on my Girlfriend's Grandparent's minivan...

My car got really filthy this week after sitting in the shop parking lot and going on a trip to the mountains, so this weekend before I done my usuall wash, I decided to take a small trip up the road to bring back some memories of what using a coin op. car wash was like, (ah the days before...
