    Affordable 1 Gal pump dispensers?

    I stopped by Sam's Club and couldn't seem to find any pump dispensers (however I did see some amazing looking durable 32oz spray bottles that were very affordable...FYI). I can't seem to find any on Amazon with good reviews, and even the ones that seem *mediocre* at best, they're expensive for...

    Using an AIO mixed with pure LSP?

    I've been thinking about trying some D151 mixed with Poxy (just a couple drops of each on the pad) or some other LSP for a quick light polish/LSP combo on green or blue pad for a friend's vehicle. Has anybody else tried this? D151 has more cut than I need and I'm curious if mixing in some drops...

    Meg's 4" Soft Buff or 4" Buff & Shine (aka Uber) pads?

    At only a $10 price difference between getting 6 of the Megs pads as opposed to the Buff & Shine pads, I'm curious as to the quality difference between the 2 or if it's comparing apples to oranges. I like the 5.5" Uber pads that I've had for a while but haven't tried Megs foam pads yet. I'd just...

    Hazing with every polish on black '11 Tacoma?

    Yesterday I did a paint correction on a black 2011 Tacoma and was getting *heavy* hazing with 205/green pad, 205/MF pad, 105/MF pad, 105/orange pad, d300/MF pad, UNO/MF pad, UNO/orange pad, UNO/green pad, and DCP/blue pad. All of my attempts were with a primed pad that was fresh, washed, and...

    Blue All Purpose Microfiber Towels 6 Pack: Bulk pricing on all purpose microfiber detailing towel. Its on BOGO (6 total for $14.99) which is a pretty good price for plush MF's, I just can't find any reviews on them. They're described as not meant for paintwork but they look pretty plush to be...

    Anyone able to top OC2.0 with Z-2 Pro?

    I've been successful at topping my OC2.0 with HD Poxy (apparent by different water beading pattern after Poxy applied) but was gonna dip my feet in Lake Zaino. Has anybody tried this with success, or much less be able to do consecutive layers of Z-2 Pro on top of OC2.0? Also, is it really...

    Iron X worth it for surface prep?

    Granted I haven't come across too many extreme detailing cases, but I'm not entirely sold that I could benefit from ferrous material removers like Iron X. After wash, clay, and compound/polish I'm not sure more surface prep is necessary. Has anybody tried using Iron X after compound/polish to...

    Megs APC for household carpet shampooing?

    So I've been contemplating changing out my carpet shampoo for some of my Meg's APC to help with some of the cleaning power. I've used diluted APC to clean stains in headliners, carpets, and fabric seats before, but it never ocurred to me to try it in our household carpets. Do APC's stain or have...

    Dakota Odor Bomb makes everything smell like aerosol

    Picked up a can of New Car scent off of AG and tried it out on my SUV that didn't have any odor problems, but I just wanted it to smell nice. However now (4 days later) my vehicle just smells like aerosol, I even left the windows open for a few hours afterwards and drove around with all windows...

    My new favorite tire dressing applicator

    ...is an edging paint brush picked up at Lowe's. After trying applicator-free aerosols, sprays, and of course foam applicators that worked decently but wouldn't last long, got my hands messy sometimes, and would be hard to maintain in between uses, I've found a much more efficient tire...

    Different kind of window cleaning tool...

    So I was reading SkyMall while waiting to take off and came across this gem: Karcher Window Vacuum | Home Living | SkyMall I'll never buy it, but it seems like it could almost be useful for interior windows since the "vaccuum" would theoretically eliminate squeegee streaks (even though I'm...

    Poxy on trim?

    Anyone try it on larger plastic trim with success? Mine turned out streaky on the bumper covers of my MDX so I figured I may have applied too much or something. I prep'ed the surface with a brush and megs super degreaser

    What do you use to store your towels/pads/delicate detailing tools?

    I've been using plastic storage drawers that I picked up from Wal Mart to store all of my pads, MF towels, and the rest of my detailing tools that I don't want to drop on the floor. However, yesterday I found a moth sitting under a pile of MF towels and now I'm looking for something with a...

    Meguiar's Plastic & Vinyl Coating - anyone try it?

    Meguiars Plastic & Vinyl Coating, exterior trim coating, trim dressing, vinyl protectant I've seen it before but can't find any reviews about the product. I'm not sure I'd be a fan of aerosol for application but I've never tried it before either.

    Jeweling cured OC2.0?

    So long story short, I ended up finishing the majority of the OC2.0 application on my car last night under moonlight/LED's and wasn't able to get a real good inspection of the panels to buff down any high spots with the MF. Do you think doing an extremely light polish (thinking DCP Uno or 205...

    6" Megs MF pad blew apart!

    So the sad thing is I just got done using a different 6" pad with M105 for taking out a lot of 1500 sanding marks before this and then I swapped to this fresh pad with M205 and then on my 2nd panel this happened: I was using the Meguiar's BP and was using compressed air to clean the pad. My...
