    VM, SSR1, FPII and PP question

    Year old White Honda has been hand cared only, VM and EX-P, and various waxes on that. If a like new car has only a couple of small areas 1' x 1' and 6" x 3" with a few very light "washing?" lines showing hear and there and the rest of the finish (95%) is perfect what would be the best product...

    Mazda Protege - WG

    This is the "BAKED ON Silly String nightmare" that took about 8 hours to get it cleaned off two weeks ago. Elbow grease and Turtle Wax Tar/Bug remover was about the best stuff I could find. Had not been cared for in two years, inside or out. Parked outside 24/7 in 300+ days a year under...

    Moose Wax or Poorboy's Polish w/Carnauba?

    I don't have either and would like recommendations before I order, please. Which one is better for painted wheels? Durabilty more important than looks. Thanks.:)

    Does DACP dust bother you?

    DACP dust is getting to my sinuses. No other product does this to me, i.e. IP. Two questions. Should one always wear a mask when using a DA or rotary? Or...am I just "allergic" to DACP? I don't believe I've ever read anything about this. I'm considering using only Poorboy's SSR's since I...

    Need help soon - old Silly String removal nightmare

    Anyone have a silly string solution? It's like Epoxy or worse. Tar remover works if you have ALL DAY to do it and I've been at it for 4 hours by hand. DACP by hand hardly touches the stuff. Used a Yellow pad and DACP and can make progress, but I wonder how long I can DA before I'm working down...

    Flat or Contour PC Pads? Myths, facts and reality?

    Which is a better 6" PC pad? Flat or Contour? Megs and The Edge are flat and some say provide a better contact surface using a PC, even though you have to learn to not splatter the product. CMA contour (LC in general, I guess), etc., it has been said are really made for rotary use. (BTW...

    12 week VM/EX-P report

    VM + 2x EX-P + #16...twelve weeks ago on white. Washed weekly NXT, rained on 5-6 times, and only Final Inspection after wash and sometimes mid-week to remove very light dust. Sunny 80-100 F. Garaged after work and weekends. Sealant holding up very well visually but slickness hardly there...

    PC Pad "Cutting" Protection ring

    If this happens to you then perhaps I have a fix. After using firm pressure with some DACP I realized the edge of my backing plate "cut" into the foam. LC pads just don't have much "loop" material on them. Right? CMA pads do have that extra material if your using a 5" pad. Does this look familiar?

    WG on Black

    NXT clay IP FP WG No time yesterday before the dust storm to finish tires, trim etc. Please forgive the half detail. WG is the comparison with last weeks EX-P. Right now...despite a few minor negatives...I like EX-P by a nose. No. I didn't use WG cleaner. The IP+FP left the surface so...

    WG Question

    Now I'm really confused. I thought one needed the WG pre-cleaner to use the sealant effectively. Now I see TWO conflicting opinions from two of my more "trusted" posters. "Nosebleedspeed" convinced me WG workes well over other polishes in response to my saying EX-P was a great...

    Pics of VM, 2x EX-P, #16 on white

    OK. Too bright for white, but no clouds to help 6 month old Accord. White doesn't show off very well and photos hopeless in bright light. Tried to catch some shadows and one roof shot, but....here it is, FWIW. NXT Wash Clay VM EX-P x 2 #16 EX-P was very slick but saw no difference...

    EX-P, WG question

    EX-P and WG arrived today. Need to detail two cars this weekend but cannot find answers searching! Does anyone know if EX-P and WG are used over everything like one uses VM? i.e. Metal trim, windows, plastic and rubber? Would really appreciate advice.

    VM - What a great product

    VM is a great product, IMO; looks good, SOOOO easy to use and goes over everything with no worries. If you use it, you know what I mean. If you have never done your windows with it you're missing out, IMHO. I do believe VM is my favorite multi-usefull product even if it doesn't smell like roses...

    EX-P or FMJ or ? for summer sealant

    Want to seal my new car white finish for the spring/summer with something other than AIO/SG that can go over trim, black plastic, won't stain rubber, etc. Climate...hot, dry and dusty. Occasional windy dust storms. I'm leaning towards Poorboys and Menzerna. EX-P sounds great and really...

    Bug yellow on clear bra: How to remove stains?

    White car, clear bra. VM and S100 right before three hour trip. Washed the billions of bug off OK, but some of those little suckers leave a YELLOW stain in the material. Very porous I am assuming. Here is what does NOT work. Clay, detail, VM, #9, tar remover, GOOO GONE, alcohol, vinegar...

    Pad got "cut" by backing plate. Machine or Human fault?

    Used LC Orange, PC, LC 5" backing plate. Using DACP and moderate pressure on initial passes. After half a truck noticed the pad was "cut" all around the velcro from the rough edges of the LC backing plate. Seems to me a 6" pad would chew the he*l out of an Orange Pad. Or, was it operator error...
