    Using leather products on Vinyl and Plastic?

    Is this a good idea? I'm trying to make dash vinyl and door vinyl, etc.. softer and more supple, not just protected from UV rays. Does anyone use leather products for this? I'm thinking of the idea based on humans using lotion on it's skin to condition and soften/moisten. Why not do the same...

    I've had it with Stoner's Invisible Glass

    I've sung it's praises myself before, when I thought it was doing a good job, but I've come to realize it only does a good job if the glass is spotless to begin with. My problem is the tiny water spots on glass, whether there already or brand new, aren't being removed or even lessened by...

    my Collinite 476 review

    I bought it a month or two ago and haven't tried it until today. I detailed a Supra with Megs 85 with LC 4" orange on rotary, then Megs 80 with LC 4" white with rotary. I then applied Klasse AIO with LC 4" black pad on my PC at speed 4. I decided to try the 476, and applied it with a foam pad...

    Finally used a rotary for the first time

    makita with LC white pad, 5.5" on a black Caddy CTS, with megs 83. At times it was smooth going, but at other times the makita wanted to pull me here and there all of a sudden, I couldn't figure out why. The combo at 1500rpm worked well to remove all but the deepest swirls and scratches, but...

    Question to Rotary users

    When using a rotary, do you keep it on the whole time like you would a PC, or are you constantly blipping the trigger? My painter, I noticed, constantly blipps the trigger, just wondered if this was normal.

    Review: Megs #83

    I detailed my friend's IS350, it's a dark red color, good condition, swirls and scratches when looked at closely. I only have a PC so I thought I'd give it a try, LC orage pad with the Megs 83, speed 6. I can honestly say it didn't do much of anything except maybe polish a little bit. It did...

    My Collinite and PC review

    So I finally decided it was time to use my PC with LC white 4" pad to apply Collinite 915 wax to my brand new paint (never driven up to that point). The wax went on smoothly with the PC, and I did the entire car before wiping off, and this was a big mistake. It was very difficult to wipe off...
