    Internet Broswer

    My employer just installed Mozilla Firefox on our computers. It seems way faster than internet explorer (which we were previously using.) Is there really a difference in speeds relative to the different options out there? I'm thinking of using Mozilla on my home computer. Or should I use...

    For those of you who use a foam gun (the hose type - not pressure washer type) what is the actual procedure that I should use? Do I simply foam up the entire car, rise the entire car and then wash normally? Or Do I foam the entire car and then wash the entire car using the foam that has...

    LSP Applicator Suggestions...

    Anyone have suggestions on what to use for a wax/sealant applicator. I do LSP's by hand and have always found the old standard yellow foam pads too small to hold on to. They're just hard to grip -plain and simple. I found MF applicators with pockets in them for your hands which I love! I...

    Blackfire Midnight Sun vs Souveran

    Looking for some opinions on if you guys think that Souveran paste will look any better over the BFWD sealant than the Midnight Sun? In other words, I guess what I'm asking is, is it worth the extra money? My car is strictly a show car with single stage red paint. I've never used BFWD on this...

    Meg's Last Touch as Clay Lube

    I've read on the forums here that a few of you use Meg's Last Touch as clay lube. I thought at one point I remember someone saying that it could be diluted with water as still be used just effectively as a clay lube. So should I dilute it with water at all (if so, at what ratio) or simply use...

    PO85RD - Work Time/Priming

    I've removed most of the swirls on my vehicle with the 105/205 combo. I wanted to try and "amp" it up a bit with Menzerna PO85RD. Because of the 105/205 short work time, I think I've gotten spoiled and might not work the PO85RD long enough so that I get the full benefit of the product. How...

    Removing paint from vinyl

    Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can remove paint from vinyl trim pieces?? Whoever painted my car, before I bought it, wasn't to careful about masking the door jamb trim pieces. I tried using a magic eraser in a very small spot on the bottom and it took off the shine on the vinyl - so...

    I want to try a few different combos on my single stage red Camaro to see what looks the best. In the past, I've been using RMG followed by Souvern. However, always in search of something that looks better, I was thinking of trying a few different combos to get 'er dialed in for show season in...
