This is question I had from this thread ( http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15790 ) Scooter on the one board was doing his little freaking out about how chemicals can react with each other. In his final post he said you shouldn't mix them unless you know they are...

In the Autopia Guide To detailing under the wash section he says to look for a soap with "surface conditioners and natural oils." What exactly are Surface Conditioners and Natural oils? Do they have a chemical name you can look for on the bottle or MSDS sheets? What exactly will it say...

SWIRLS! Many people can't identify swirls so I've finally been able to gather some picture of the types of swirls. Now, I did this for you guys! Look what I had to do to my truck! Swirled it up! These are the swirl marks from a rotary buffer. They are called "swirlmarks" because there...

This is a question in regards to this thread ( http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15541 ) about rotary buffing, which had this link to a thread on rotary buffing over at MBworld. ( http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=17340&perpage=10&pagenumber=2 )...

These are Before Pictures! Nice and unorganized. I built some nice wooden boxes to use in my truck. I finally got them sealed and put in the bed. I didn't get enough room to put by tent in the bed but I got the ice chest in there atleast. It is also more organized.

I've heard people say the PH of simple green is 10 but at what concentration? Is that straight up, 1/2 with water, etc?

As I was standing in Pep Boys the other day buying some of their cheap packages of mixed foam applicators and terry applicators I thought there had to be a better place to buy these. Anyone know a place online that sells foam applicators in large quanitys cheaply? Like packs of 5+. The...

I just ordered a superchip for my truck. Gonna make it so it'll run 92 octane and take full advantage of it. Some people are saying they got like 29hp out of it. like 40 ft/lbs tq. Some have said it'll drop .3 seconds off your quarter and a few have said they've gotten more. I'm really...

I talked with him for like 2 hours about all kinds of stuff. Got some new compound from them and really want to try it out. Has like aluminum particles in it as the buffing agent. Said it produces a clearer finish than Swirl elminator and polish. I'll be giving it a try soon. Also talked to...

I'm sure you've seen the commercial for it but has anyone tried it? I am really interested in getting one because it would really take up a lot less room in the back of my truck than a full hose. Do you think it looks like it would work or a waste of money? Here is a link to a page...

Read before you buy! I recently received the 9 pattern Spray Pistol Grip Hose Nozzle from CMA. From the description of the product, I thought it was going to be some heavy duty, non-breakable sprayer but it was relatively light feeling and made of extremely brittle plastic. First day I...

I was just wondering if anyone has the viper detailing mf towels from CMA. I have some I ordered around last christmas and finally got aroudn to tearing into them because I needed them since I forgot to wash my YoSteve towels. All I have to say is the friggin linted like nuts! I was trying...

Well, I like to check out the Regency Ford lot late a night (12am) So I don't get bothered by the sales people. Only the janitors were there. They got a new cobra on the lot! We were looking at the lightnings and then the New T-bird. I was like, "Let's good look at the mustangs" So...

First off. I hardly know anything about sound systems so the questions should be basic for even the slightly experienced people I want a couple of 8" or 10" subs for my truck. They are going to go under the back seat. I'll need an amp too. I listen to rock but I sometimes like to do the rap...

I finally found a vehicle to test this stuff on! Also, PM me and I'll see about getting you a sample kit of this stuff. It was a very old bronco I did today. Light brown with a dark brown strip around it. I applied the wax by hand because I didn't have a pad for my DA buffer. I can't wait...

I tried to search but I couldn't find anything like this... Of course I suck at searching. Each Synthetic wax has cons and pros and we always get threas like, "What is the best synthetic wax?," "Klasse or Zaino?," etc Lets make a list of synthetics and their Con's a Pro's. Let's keep it...

Thought this might be something good to post for reference. Listed from most agressive to least. Includes all their Compounds, waxes, and polishes. # after is the agressiveness level Pro Assigned them 1) P-15 Heavy Duty Machine Cleaner = 100 2) P-20 Liquid Compound = 95 3) P-27-Q...

Just tried this stuff out. Made a gallon of it. First thing I noticed is it is hard to pour out of the gallon jug into the lid :D Well I used a wash mit and would dump it in the bucket and then kinda spinkle water around the panel and then lightly wipe it off. I would then dry with a big...

I've been applying Klasse a little thicker than normal. When I wipe the surface with the applicator it lays down a nice haze. A few seconds later it disappears! I think I'm using over an oz now. I simply am doing it thicker because I heard if you do it too thin it won't crosslink. Truck is...
