    Initial Thoughts on Sonus SFX

    I'm using the Sonus SFX system on a perfect candidate, a heavily swirled/scratched and dulled Camry. I am still working with SFX1 and while it definitely gets the job done, the dust it produces is horrible. The dust clings to the car requiring a wipe down after each section. I need to...

    Removing Spray Lubricant Smell

    My trunk was creaking when I would open it so I sprayed the hinges with a lubricant. At first my trunk smelled like grease but it has now leaked into the interior. I know it will dissipate over time but I cannot stand the smell. Any suggestions for quickly removing the smell? What if I set...

    Excel Detail Microfiber Towels

    I'm thinking of ordering $50 worth of microfiber towels from Excel Detail. I really do not like ordering them without first knowing what the towels are like and a search turned up few results. How is Excel Detail's Elite Hemmed Edge 16"x24" towel? How is the quality? Is it too plush for...

    YachtBrite MF Cloths

    Painters Tape Residue on Trim

    I detailed my car a couple of weeks ago and taped off all trim prior to using the PC. I think I accidentally picked up the cheap painters tape off the shelf (half used roll so there was not a wrapper) and now some of my trim has sticky residue on it. What can I use to safely remove the residue?

    Applying Meguiars High Endurance?

    I really like the durability and look of Meguiars High Endurance but it is a PITA to apply on any tire that is anything but 100% smooth (very few tires are). Are there any tricks to making this product easier to apply? BTW, I have been applying with cheap terry cloths because all of the foam...

    7.5" Lake Country Pad Question

    Why do websites say that people new to using a PC should not use a 7.5" pad until they gain experience? I'm going to buy them regardless but am really wondering why various websites say that.

    Swirl/Minor Scratch REMOVAL

    One of our vehicles is black and between not having time to keep up on the detailing, building a house, etc., the paint is not in like new condition. Plenty of swirls and minor surface scratching. I want to remove the scratching, not hide it. I'll be buying a PC soon so what product would you...
