    Poxy + Opti-Seal...

    I know there are TONS of threads on combos for various reasons, but wanted to ask those that have tried this. While simply reading the Poxy label last night (I have not used this product more than 2x), I thought.... By definition (or label reading), the POXY sounds like it will produce a...

    Spray Paint vs. UNO

    It's been a while since I posted. I hope all is well with my fellow Autopians this year. Last week I received a distress call from a friend. Short version.... jealous woman spray painted her car with angry female vulgarities. This was black paint on a metallic/champagne SUV. Being that...

    Site updated

    Hi fellow detailers and Autopia friends! I hope to see you at SEMA- I'm on the floor much of Friday and will be there for the weekend. Robert K. just did an entire remake of my towel site. It seems much easier to navigate AND translates into 5 languages. I appreciate his hard work and...

    Vac Away

    So a few detail buddies told me about this product- Vac Away. I sent for the free sample kit- sounds like spam already! LOL Anyway, I used the green intensity on some really bad mats today- Prius. I could not believe how much better I cleaned them vs. what I normally do- vac, Folex...

    Question for UNO experts..

    Hey guys, So today, before a TV crew came for a story, I had a black and pretty new X3 in my driveway. Although a newer car, it is horrid! There is so much marring that under the Brinkmann, the paint looks more grey, than black. I took the UNO, Griots, and green pad, and although it began...

    Need good lighting for outdoor detailing

    OK, so I have the Brkmann light. However, under this light, I am only seeing some correction. I can see that surface scratches and swirls are removed. However, in sunlight, there are sometimes other marring that it's not picking up. I do not want to move a car back and forth while working- into...

    I know this has come up, but it worked for me so sharing!!

    As I sat today eyeing the black BMW 328is (a car I have polished many times), I decided that over the years I had fallen victim to the hype about "burning paint" if you are not careful. Therefore, I have become a great polisher, but not "corrector" of paint. Thus, I took out my Griots, Cyclo...

    Lake Country cyan euro-foam pads?

    Has anyone used the new or newer blue (cyan) 5.5" pads from LC? They are thin.. 7/8" and called Hydro Tec- I think. At SEMA, someone gave my friend one and with 105 and a DA, he is getting incredible results. Thanks, Rob

    Online source for papers...

    I need 5" (might be 4") papers for my orbital sander: 2000, 2500, and 3000. Anyone know a good source for quality papers? They will go on a circular orbital sander like a Milwaukee. Also, looking for a small yellow hand held sander that holds about 2" round paper for small scratch removal by...
