I'm plagued with brake dust on my CR-V, and while it does wipe off easily since I treated the wheels w/EX-P, I'd like to avoid the mess entirely. Besides, I can't get to the back of the wheel to clean it, unless I take the wheels off - something I don't plan to do very often! Anyhow, I just...

Finished the car last night and now I have a few more questions. . . Had quite a problem with PB PwC & EX-P dusting. I was using the PC @4 ~5, but it was hard to see if it was "'hazing" on the paint. When we wiped off, there was very little residue to remove. Did we overwork it with the PC...

Well, yesterday we took the V down to paint/clearcoat & started over . . . It was last washed on Memorial Day weekend, but had been maintained with PB S&W & QD+ over the summer and didn't see rain until Friday night . . . nice beading, but after the rain dried, here's how he looked . . ...

Well, we tried out the Pinnacle Swirl Remover, Advanced Swirl Remover and Liquid Souveran on the test hood this morning. After washing the hood with Mullet Wash, I cleaned it with AIO. Then taped it off. Applied Pinnacle Swirl Remover to this section and topped with Liquid Souveran...

On my way home today, on a whim, I stopped by a local auto wrecker & asked if they might have a hood I could purchase for practice. I think the guy is still laughing & scratching his head, but he called back to the yard, and another fellow came up and asked me what I wanted it for, so I went...

I'm facing a 4 day weekend and thought I would use it to re-do my cars. I have an '04 Honda CR-V and an '85 Civic Wagon. Both are "beige" in colour, although the V is metallic, where the wagon is not. Neither one has been washed since Memorial Day weekend, but I've been maintaining them with...

I've been a member for 5 months, and I have to tell you the neatest thing about the Megs clinic I attended yesterday. When I first walked into a room full of @ 65 men & only one other woman(with her husband), I got the feeling that they all wondered just what I was doing there - "She's a...

When I use PB Natural Look (full strength) on the black plastic trim & "bumpers" on my CR-V, I get streaky results. I apply it evenly, wait a few minutes, buff it with a clean MF, and then when I look at it an hour later, it seems to have been absorbed into the black unevenly and leaves...

OK - I know this sounds REALLY DUMB, but . . . how much of the tire should you dress with BnB. I did just the sidewalls, but you can see the tread, and it looks grey next to the sidewalls. If you could please stop laughing long enough to reply, I WOULD appreciate it!:lmfao

I spent yesterday washing, claying, washing, PPwC & EX-P'ing my CR-V, (all by hand!) and am planning to continue today with trim, tires & interior. What should I be using on the black painted trim on the pillars? It has a semi-gloss finish, & I don't want to change that, but I do want to give...

I'm considering purchasing a PC this weekend and would appreciate some advice. I understand that it is the "safest" machine for beginners, but do not understand some of the terminology or purpose of many of the things I've read about here. For example: Counterweight? Backing Pads - different...

OK, I finally bit the bullet and ordered all kinds of lovely smelling products from Steve, and now they're in my garage calling me, but I'm afraid to start 'cuz I don't want to mess up on my '04 Mojave Mist Honda CRV! I have the following: Bold n Bright Tire Dressing* Trim Restorer* Natural...

HiSurfTension, I tried to PM this to you, but couldn't, so I'm posting here in the hopes that you will see it. It took me a month of lurking & reading to make up my mind, and act on it, but today I placed an order w/Steve @ Poorboys for everything I should need for the next year (at least, I...

I'm looking for a detailer here in Phoenix/Tempe, AZ who is familiar with our particular weather issues. In viewing "locations" of those posting, I'm not seeing AZ listed. Surely there must be somebody here?:newbie

I've just bought an '04 Honda CR-V EX of which I want to take the best possible care. My old car is an '85 Civic Wagon, which is being passed on to my 17 year old son. I'd appreciate any suggestions on the best way to care for the finishes on the V. I say "finishes" because there is a lot of...

Has anyone used "5 Star Shine" on a new car? I just purchased a new Honda CR-V and want to keep it looking like new for the next 20 years (don't laugh - I still have my '85 Civic Wagon - & it still looks good!). I did not get the "paint protection" package @ the dealer, but want to know the...
