This week I left my truck at work in the parking lot which is fenced and has around the clock security while I took a company vehicle to a job out of town. When I returned last night I found 2 bullet holes. What a drag! I wouldn't have spent last weekend polishing and waxing if I knew this...

I know this question is kinda premature for many who are awaiting the results of NXT's durability. Has NXT become a component of your favorite combo now? What has it replaced?

Do you/would you use a CWB?[list=1] Yes, it's a very effective timesaver No, I'd never drag that thing across my pristine finish Don't know, never tried one [/list=1]

Knowing what you know about detailing now, what color would you choose for your next vehicle? Presently I have a bright red truck. Next time I'm sticking with a dark color, probably not black, but maybe dark gray or a darker red (maroon).

I tried PwC and EX today on a white Mustang GT and was very pleased! So ... my favorite combos are as follows: Light colors (white, silver, gold, etc ...) = PwC + EX Dark colors (reds, green, etc ...) = VM + S100 Black = AIO + KSG Of course the above is likely to change as soon as I get...

1) What type applicator, e.g. rag/towel/newspaper? 2) What cleaner product? 3) Do you use a polish or protectant on exterior glass, e.g. AG glass polish or AIO?

Has anyone used C-27-Q glass polish by PROWAX? Is it effective on hard water spots?

Has anyone used both PB's PwC and VM and would like to compare the two? I haven't used PwC yet, but I suspect it's a little more aggressive polish. Is that correct?

Anyone have recommendations on visually inspecting your final results? I've still had instances where I found wax residue even after going over my final detail with a QD, or seen imperfections in windows I've already cleaned even after inspecting them. I've tried looking at the paint and...

Has anyone used Folex and a sponge to remove stains from cloth seats?

Is #0000 the finest steel wool? I've had good success cleaning windows with #0000 and AIO. What's the next step down (in terms of abrasiveness)?

This weekend I detailed a friend's late model white Ford Excursion. The paint was in good condition so I washed it and applied AIO followed by S100. He was very pleased with the results. When it came to the mammoth roof I took a shortcut. I used Meg's #6 cleaner wax and got good results...

You ever go out to a local lake or park and see someone waxing their vehicle? Do you look to see what products they use? I've yet to see any "enthusiast" products, e.g. P21s/S100, Clearkote's, Pinnacle, Klasse, Zaino, etc ... I guess the closest I've come is seeing Meg's tan bottles. In my...

It seems about a year ago SEPC/GEPC was all the rage. But, lately they're seldom mentioned as part of Autopian's favorite combos. Have polishes/shine enhances, e.g. 1z, Menzenra, and VM replaced SEPC/GEPC in your arsenal? Or, do you still use SEPC/GEPC regularly?

I plan to purchase a PC in the not too distant future. I've read posts mentioning a counterweight. I have a few questions: 1) Is that an additional accessory? 2) If not how much does it cost? 3) Do you need one if you're using original size backing plate and pads? 4) How do you...

I know plenty people don't like the sheen of Armoll type products. Do you specifically ask them if they want their dash/vinyl dressed?

What do you use to polish and protect a diamond plate aluminum truck tool box?

I'm considering purchasing a PC in the near future so I've been pondering which products I'd would use with the PC. Seems to me certain products lend themselves to machine application better than others. Example, it seems GEPC/SEPC would be easier to use with a PC than VM due to it's...

I've read many post that describe Pinnacle's Sourveran (sp?) as producing a darker look to finishes. Are there any other products that do this? Being a regular user of S100 it seems to me #26 gave my red finish a darker appearance, but it's been awhile since I've used #26.

Anyone find anything unusual while detailing an interior? I'm sure there's all kinds of good stuff under the seat. Perhaps someone found some $$$ in large denominations.
