Just curious, how many people here use PB's S&W like it was intended, as a waterless wash method to clean an entire car? And if so, do you limit yourself on how dirty a car you will do? And are there some that still prefer S&W over the ONR/QEW method?

There are still tonnes of products I haven't tried yet, and while trying to resist that temptation to buy everything out there, I occasionally get very curious about certain products. Lately I've been curious how Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (v3.0) stacks up compared to everything else...

I guess this is really only aimed at the novice and hobbyist detailers, not the ones that do this for a living. I was looking at my vast collection of supplies (due of course to that additive syndrome we all share), and realized I have so much stuff, more waxes and polishes etc. than I could...

Too keep it in context, I don't mean out of ALL their product line. I'm not looking for any more LSPs or polishing compounds to try at the moment, for example. But for things like detailing sprays, car washes, degreasers and APCs, etc. what specific products do you guys like that seem to work...

Hi, this may sound like a dumb question, but does anyone know WHO or what the name "Natty" refers to? I am of course referring to Poorboy's World line of paste waxes: Natty's original, blue and red. I just recently ordered a jar of the Red and got it in the mail yesterday, and it just...

As someone who has recently been bitten by the detailing bug (after many months of abstinence....sigh) I had a chance to do something will all THREE of our vehicles in the last few weeks. Here's mine. 300ZX (stored for winter) - Natty's (original) paste wax. Altima (wife's DD) - #83, AIO...

When using my PC 7424, I have couple each of yellow, white and black pads. And I even have an orange pad that I've tried a few times. I understand the use of the white and black pads, but where exactly does the blue pad come in to the picture? Is the black pad still for the final LSP...

Two products I've been curious about for years are Clearkote's Carnauba Moose and Poorboy's EX (the one w/ carnauba). For those that have firsthand experience, how similar are these two products and do they have more or less the same use/application? (ie. darker colors, glossy wet look?)...

Hi Guys, My wife & I just got all new appliances for our new house, which includes a new pair of high-efficiency front load washer and drier (Kenmore brand). When my wife was reading the instructions for the washer, it stated specifically that you have to use a special "high efficiency" soap...

Hi Guys, I need a hand in the area of auto paint colors. I plan to repaint my 300ZXTT, which is currently in its original black "Onyx - nissan code GL1", which is a non-metallic black. I want to try something a little more unique, but not straying too far from BLACK. I had something in...

I just bought some new Zaino clay and the bars are red. I seem to remember they used to be yellow. What are the differences between the yellow and this *new* red clay? Is it just a matter of dye/coloring, or did the consistency/type of clay actually change as well? Thanks.

I'm just starting out. I've been learning on an acoustic, but I've just bought my first electric. I decided to splurge a little and got one of the limited edition Ibanez 550s (20th anniversary reissue, in Road Flare Red). Now I just have a little problem... nothing to plug this baby into...

Having been up until now always a fan of the Meguiar's 80 series polishs like 80, 82 and 83. Also having used products like AIO, VM, and dabbled a bit with FP-II and IP, I've still been curious about the Poorboy's polishes (SSR 1, 2, 2.5, and 3) but surprisingly still haven't tried them to...

After hunting in stores for the last few weeks, I finally found these two products. They were hiding on the bottom shelf in the detailing product aisle of a local Wal-Mart. I picked them up a couple days ago and had a chance to try the Gel when I washed my Z yesterday. I have to say it...

Just curious who still uses EX and EX-P fairly regularly. One question I have is did both those products get revised versions sometime in the last couple years? I currently have EX-P only, and AFAIK its the original version of it. I hadn't used it very much but the VM + EX-P combo looks...

Hi Guys, Its been a while since I posted about a detail I've done. Last sunday I decided to detail my daily-driven '01 Sentra. I had washed and clayed it a night or two prior. On sunday I: - used Menzerna FPII w/ a LC white polishing pad - used DACP w/ meg's yellow pad or Menzerna IP...

To my surprise I experienced my first real public car show victory on the weekend. As member and Vice President of the Edmonton Z Car Club (that's Nissan/Datsun Z's, not Camaros and such) I entered my car along with 11 other club members in a club booth display in the recent Driven to Perform...

Your recent water ban notwithstanding, in normal everyday life in Calgary its my understanding that you guys have a strictly enforced bylaw that basically outlaws washing your cars in your own driveway. (the reason being I think that the storm drains, being independant of the domestic sewage...

I'm in Edmonton. Anyone else here in the province? :spot :2thumbs: :bounce :buffing: :welcome :dance :woot2: :waxing:

I haven't had a chance to clean an entire car with PB's spray & wipe yet, but I had a chance to spot test it in a few places on sunday. Today when I looked at my car in the sun (my black Z) I noticed dust patterns on the car that seemed consistent with the areas I cleaned and didn't clean with...
