(Saw a discussion like this a while ago but couldn't find it again) Liquid Crystal (think basic digital watch) Privacy glass for vehicles... Flick a switch - instant blackout!

I'm always worried that while leaning over the car I'll scratch up a panel somehow with my clothes... How about some Autopia-branded MF overalls! :hm

[asbestos suit on] Imagine this scenario: Group of guys form a company and work on a paint cleaner and sealant combination. Over time, each of the guys (now directors) decides that the development of the products isn't going the way it should i.e. Bob thinks it should be more glossy, Dave...

Ok, so I'm at the online shop and deciding on my choice of polishes. Having read most of the recent posts here concerning all of these brands, can anyone help with choosing one of the three brands? I'm no professional, but I'm fairly confident using the PC with the Sonus DAS pads so I'd like...

Aargh I was just ready to place my order this afternoon for the Optimum trio, but see that PolishedBliss is closed :grrr Just today I got the opportunity to revive a somewhat neglected Black Porsche Carrera 4 sometime in the near future... Apart from Autogeek, (their online shopping...

I'm giving the wife's car the full treamtment and the black strips running down each side of the roof are well grimy. Trouble is I can't find a way to remove them. On my Honda, they just clip on to a couple of pins at each end, but these seem to be stuck on? The owners manual makes no mention of...

Yay! my Sonus scratch removal kit arrived in the posts this week. I've not tried to attached it to my PC yet, but I'm thinking I might need to mess around with the counterweight? I've been using my PC quite happily so far with the Sonus DAS polisher Kit (6-7inch pads?) so I assume the...

The last guy who owned our house had a huge dog which he kept in the Conservatory. Subsequently, the double-glazed patio doors leading into the house have aquired a good many surface scratches (I'm told that the glass surface is quite soft.) Can/should I tackle the problem with my PC? :confused:

Just picked up one of these from Halfords. Currently on sale at £18. All my gear now in one place! :bigups

Have been reading a lot of posts on the main forums about car canopies (ezup etc.) and have been thinking this might be a good investment, since I only usually get the weekend for detailing and then only if the weather is just right - not sunny, not raining. Does anyone else use a canopy, if...

Followed a car through Kidderminster a couple of days back with an autopia badge on the back (oval/blue). Is that an 'official' emblem?

The pad seems not to rotate as much as I though but just jiggle. This is more noticable when I fit the MF bonnet to the orange pad. Is it it on some kind of clutch system so that increased pressure on the surface slows the spinning? Maybe I've broken it somehow. Theoretically, I could have...

My PC and DAS pads arrived this week :woot2: and I'm contemplating my strategy while I get the 'power' side of things in place. My wife's car will donate the body panels for my PC 'education' before I take to my own car's paint with it. So anyways, I'm figuring these Sonus-Autoglym...

would this be any use? http://www.porter-cable.uk.com/shopping/product/product_page.asp

'Gimmick' or 'Gotta have'?

I'm about to take delivery of some 17" O.Z Titan wheels but am unsure how best to clean and protect them. The O.Z website defines the finish as: "Crystal Titanium with O·Z logo engraved on the spoke and chromed ring around the hubcap" This seems to infer that the finish is bare...

Been reading some posts here about the quality/effectiveness of Autoglym Bodywash shampoo and am wondering if I'm missing out somehow. Can anyone suggest a better wash product? Maybe something that won't strip my wax topper (P21s), if that's possible.

For paintwork only 18months old, does AG SRP (low- abrasive polish) equate to a good claying? If not, can anyone suggest a clay grade that will give better results? Also, having read some related posts here, I plan to put on a 'winter coat' comprising a thorough wash with AG BWSP, one coat of...

Hi guys and gals, Decided to become a poster after lurking the forums for while getting the know the layout. Here's a little about me: A brief foray into the arena of UK National IASCA car-audio competitions in the late 90's opened my eyes to car detailing (as it was required as part of...
