I think the most expensive single product I have ever bought was Pinnacle Souveran which was about $70. I used it several times on several cars then sold it to try some more stuff. If I thought something would make a real difference I think I would spend up to maybe $150 but the onl thing I have...

At least one of the reasons we all come on here is to learn about new and different products that we either dont have or dont want to spend the money on. Sometimes we go ahead and buy something and never use it again and there it sits. So I am proposing that 5-6 of us form a group and to each...

Unlike a few years ago when most motorhomes were fiberglass/gel coat, today they are almost all 100% full body paint. Which means instead of blasting them with a fairly high abrasive RV type wax and calling it a day, now a careful detailer has to treat them about the same as a car. Just a much...

I know its a stupid topic but tonight I was playing with a bunch of products and I grabbed a bottle of Meguiars #7 glaze and it just reminded me of what I consider a good smell. Something about it connects me with memories as a kid hanging out at the local speed shops/garages etc. Its not a...

I have been detailing cars off and on for a long time. At 43 years old I jsut cant seem to shake it from my list of things to obsess over. Anyway I recently picked up a few new products to try from Autogeek and I used the Klasse AIO and then topped it with Wolfgangs Deep Gloss paint sealant...

I have been detailing personal cars for many years mostly by hand. I spend way too much on various products looking for that miracle product that always seems to elude us all. Just recently I bought a PC buffer and started fooling with it. Later I bought the Pinnacle XMT series of swirl...

All of us that are older (im 42) and have a real job etc more than likely throw away more unwanted detailing stuff that we grow tired of than most of these new kids still in school ever see. So here is my plan. I suggest we somehow start a list of young detailers just getting started and each...

I know most of you are pretty young but at 42 years old that made me 16 way back in 1979. My first car was a slightly used 1978 Camaro and I tried every wax I could find even back then. Some of the stuff I used to use is listed below Rally (as I recall it was a white cream type wax...

I have a new 2006 Dodge Ram that has some very minor spider web swirls on it from new and I did take delivery unpreped so I did all I could to keep the dealer away from it. But I have been trying a few different things to get them out but so far I was not happy. Recently I ordered the new...

I just bought a motorcycle that has a large vinyl seat which is covered by what looks like buffing splatter. The shop that had the bike is always using a buffer to buff various cars, boats etc and this is very likely the cause. The problem is I cant get it off. I have tried a very stiff brush...

I have a Bright Red Honda Goldwing of mine that I want to polish with my PC-DA but I dont want to mess anything up. I tried to buff my red Dodge truck last year and ended up adding as many scratchs/ spider webs as I removed. So I have been doing my own cars by hand lately. Maybe I am just...

When using different LSPs one on top of another does anyone really know which set of benefits (tied to each product) you really end up with? For example if I put a very durable Zanio on top of a warm glossy pinnacle carnuba will the top layers worse durability be what I experience? Or will it...

I read where various groups get together and have meets etc where car detailing is at the forefront of the activity and It just made me think. Do any of you ever do blind tests where you use one product on half of a car hood and other products or combos on the other half and see if you can...

For those of you that are using the standard Zaino with Z1 and them topping it with Z2 pro per their directions below I have a question. Instead of doing two layers why not just mix the z1 and z2 together and apply one layer of the products mixed. I mean if you are rubbing wet sealer over wet...

I have seen people refer to a ranking system or scale that shows which of the varius Meguires products fall in comparison to each other but I cant find one. Basically what I want to know is a line up from least aggressive to most aggressive so if I run into marks or swirls that I cant get...

I just bought a new 2006 325i in Alpine white (Its actually my 3rd white 3 series I love them so much) Anyway with the new ride I am anxious to make it look as good as possible. After getting it home I washed it clayed it and then started on my normal Zanio process where I applied first Z1...
