Well, this 2001 Volvo S40 belongs to my girlfriend. She's been away for a couple of weeks. So, I thought it would be a nice "welcome home" surprise to detail her car for her. Well wouldn't you know the surprise was on me! The car was even more disgusting than I realized. Before . . . one...

OK. I can't remember if it was in the S2KI wash & wax forum or on Autopia, but someone recently asked me if I had ever used Zymol Vintage as a topper. I hadn't and was midly intrigued by the idea. So, I decided to give it a go. The only sealants I have on hand currently are Wolfgang and...

Well, there are several sure signs of spring . . . birds flying north, warmer weather, and of course . . . detailing supplies returning to the garage :D Now that the supplies are back up from the basement it's time for some spring cleaning! This year I stretched my spring clean over three...

Manufacturer's Product Description: DP Max Wax is made of pure No.1 grade yellow carnauba from Brazil and engineered polymers to create a wet, glossy shine that lasts longer than carnauba alone. The wax is a soft, pliable paste that goes on like butter and wipes off just as effortlessly. The...

Well, I finally did it!! I feel like I have (at least to my satisfaction) compared all three rinseless wash products on the market. Here's what I found . . . First . . . the test mule Using as a waterless wash: All the products with the exception of QEW claim that they can be mixed with...

I now own all three brands of rinseless wash that exist (at least that I am aware of). Please keep in mind that waterless washes are different from rinseless washes and will not be included in this test. Rinseless washes seem to be a pretty hot subject and many detailers/detailing...

Well the last full day of winter ended here on the east coast about 9 minutes ago. The season will change to spring sometime tomorrow and the first full day of spring will be Tuesday. Now hopefully the weather will cooperate. We did have a nice warm streak the other week which gives me great...

Hi Dwayne- I made a post in this thread: http://www.detailcity.org/forums/off-topic-forum/17116-organizing-your-products.html However, I can't see my post. I also noticed that there should be 23 posts and I only can see around 17. I tried changing around my user settings, but it didn't make...

Well, I keep my car in the garage for the most part during the winter and I rarely take it out. However, spring is right around the corner and the weather is starting to warm. So, I thought I would do a little pre-spring detailing. I washed the car on Friday and then today added a coat of...

Wow! I have to say these "no rinse" car wash soaps seem to be really exploding lately. QEW (which I already own) has been popular for a while and the new Optimum No Rinse Wash (which I just ordered) seems to be gaining popularity as well. I find these low water washes are great for washing in...

So, I was just reading a post by Richard (97F1504x4) in another thread about how he uses distilled water exclusively to dilute his products. I use several products which come concentrated which I then dilute for use. I really like using products that are sold in a concentrate because I can...

:clap: It's finally here!! CMA has finally added the new Blackfire Polish to their website. This is the polish that everyone heard about and is based on the formula used in Menzerna P085 and P106FF. There's also a new compound for ceramic clear coats that they have listed. However, they...

So, I recently had my hood repainted. It's still pretty cold up here in MA. So, my choices to wash my car are pretty limited. I would like to use up my QEW so that I can try the new Optimum product. However, I remember reading that QEW has wax or polymers in it and so does the Optimum...

I was feeling a little hungry the other day and it wasn't quite meal time so I decided to have a snack. :eat: I reached for a bag of one of my favorite candies . . . Swedish Fish. :rockon While I was chewing away on the delicious little red candies, for no particular reason I decided to read...

Well, my love of detailing was kind of squashed after my recent Spot Buffs incident. However, it was nearly 60* out on Friday which is pretty rare in January up here in New England. So, I got back in the saddle and washed my dad's car since it hadn't been washed since I detailed it. This was...

So, I recently purchased a Spot Buffs kit from Autogeek. Basically, it's a kit of 4" pads with a velcro backing plate and two adapters. One adapter is so that you can use the backing plate with a drill and the other is to use the plate with a PC. I thought the kit would be great for hard to...

Just sent an email to CMA asking a couple of questions about this polish because I noticed they have it back in stock now. Interesting reply I received. My email: Reply:
