Okay guys, as some of you already know, this weekend was my test weekend for my new Cyclo. Unfortunately, things did not go so well with the Cyclo, so my review of the machine has been put on hold until I can get some better pads for it. If you'd like to see my partial review of the Cyclo, you...

Well guys, after receiving my new Cyclo almost a month ago I finally got a chance to try it out today. So far, I must say, I am not very impressed with it. I very quickly started to realize that the cyclo is more of a fine polishing/finishing tool than a compounding tool. I was under the...

Pre-wax cleaners. What's your personal preference, by hand or machine?

If any of you guys bought the bigger 500ml size of 1Z Perls Shampoo you should know what I'm talking about. The cap has a removable center and the main cap has teeth on it so it doesn't come off easily kind of like a sprayer cap. Anyone know what this is really for? It would be cool if there was...

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many many times in the past, but I think it's about that time to do it again. I've been noticing a lot of newbies asking about the Cyclo, and I myself would actually like to know a little bit more. I will start this off in saying that the main...

Actually, this was yesterday's detail that took me all day and the sun wasn't bright enough to take pictures until today. Let me just tell you guys that this car wash very close to being trashed. I actually considered entering in the Xtreme contest (and should have) but didn't think the...

I recently posted a question asking which way was better, applying EX by hand or by machine (PC). Well, I got a chance to detail my Expedition again today except this time I applied EX with the PC and a black Sonus pad and I must say that it made a TREMENDOUS difference vs. by hand. First of...

Three questions about Poorboy's EX: 1) How long do you let it dry before removing it? 2) Is there any difference in ease of removal by letting it dry longer? 3) Is there any benefit to applying EX by machine vs. by hand? I am asking these questions because I used EX for the first...

Sound system is fresh out of the shop as of yesterday, and detailed this morning with VM+EX. I plan on doing another coat of EX this week and then topping it with Souveran. Enjoy!

After washing my brand new mf's with microrestore, and drying them on the lowest heat setting without any dryer sheets, the static cling was ridiculous! I think the hair on my head was starting to stand up by the time I finished folding them! Some of the towels actually felt like they were...

Anyone have hands on experience with these two products? What's the differences between them?

Well guys, I think I'm ready for a rotary buffer. The PC is great and I love it, but it just takes a little too long to remove major defects. I mostly want a rotary for bad horizontal surfaces and will still be following it with a PC. So, what's the absolute *best* rotary out there? Also...

This is just an observation, but after receiving mf towels from most of the popular mf vendors this week (Pinnacle, PakShak, Autofiber, etc.), I have found that all of the towels are a little different in their own way EXCEPT for the Autofiber Elite Buffing Towel, and the Pinnacle Miracle Towel...

I just received VM and MW today, and I must say that they are quite different than what I was expecting. First of all, the solvent smell is very strong from both items, more so than anything I have used so far. VM, I've been hearing great things about, but I am amazed at how thin it is. Kind...

Well? EX Sealant and EX-P, what's the difference?

Has anyone used both Poorboy's Polish w/ Carnauba and 1Z Metallic Polish? I own and love MP, but am reading more and more about PB's products and am wondering if what I already have is pretty much comparable. So what do you guys think? Basically the same or no?

Attention Moderators: I didn't quite know if this would fit in this forum or the Click and Brag since it's really a product review but it does contain pictures of the end result. Feel free to move it if you want. Sonus Paintwork Cleanser.......UNBELIEVABLE STUFF! I just received a bottle of...

As some of you may or may not know, I recently did a detail on my father's black F150 and used the exact same process I have used at least a dozen times, and for some reason this particular detail ended up with very faint scuff marks on the paint at certain angles. At first I was thinking that I...

Has anyone purchased mf towels from this company before? http://www.microfiberplus.com/microfiber2.htm They seem to have really good prices and the towels look identical to Pakshak and TOL. Also offered from the same site are these DF microfiber towels-...

You can see the wheels I'm referring to in this thread: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=419497#post419497 I'm trying to find out if it would be okay to apply SG on those wheels, or if the heat would cause a negative effect. The last thing I want is for the SG to turn...
