haven't even used it yet and I LOVE IT!! So, now that thats out of the way, I'm in need of pads and polishes. I am looking at either the sonus kit from autopia, or the excel (propel) sampler from patrick. Any other suggestions? Which is better? Any preference? I am also going to get *a...

If its been asked before, I'm sorry, I searched but didnt find anything, but if i missed it, please redirect me. Basically, I'm looking to stock up on spring detailing supplies (yeah i know, i'm early, but this is autopia, come on), and I'm looking to try some new things. Mostly EX, 1z's PP...

So, I've been wanting to try poorboys stuff (mostly EX and EX-P) for awhile, and by all accounts Menzerna makes awesome polishes, and I would like to try them both. Anybody know where i can pick up both at the same place? It seems just about everybody has one or the other, but not both. Just...

So, i've been periodically hitting the "problem spots" on my car with Scratch X to try and get rid of the worst scratches. Thing is, i can get them so they dont look white, but you can still see them. Thats not the thing though. I have some scratches that i can just barely feel with my finger...

So, I was thinking this morning, and an idea suddenly came to me. Everybody has had those scratches in their clear coat that aren't quite through the clear but deep enough to warrent some caution for the fear of going through the clear. WEll, I may have an idea. What if..... Every...

So, the other day i was walking up to my car, and i noticed that the plastic of my headlamps was yellowing. I never noticed it before (maybe i just ignored it, i dont know), but it really buggs me now. Is there an easy way to get rid of it? I cant tell if its oxidation, just junk on the...

So, I'm finally fed up enough working on my black car by hand that i'm probably going to be getting a PC in the near future. So, here's the question, where should i get all my crap from? I know Coastal has a good deal, but how is that backing pad? How is the kit from Autopia with the PC and...

So, i was bored the other day, and decided to wander down to the dollar store that is like 2 blocks from my house. Its a chain i guess (dollar tree) though i've never seen them anywhere else. I was just wandering through, and what did i find? Detailing supplies!! Of course, i wouldn't touch...

So, yesterday my dad and i were screwing around with my car in the garage (installing a tach and some other stuff), and a coupla nasty things happened. First, when dad tried to drive it up on the ramps, he over shot and drove right over them... the car ended up being perched on the ramps just...

So, yesterday i got all my stuff that i ordered from Meg's. Got some #9, #81, #16, and i previously had scratch x and all the foam pads and stuff i needed. So, this morning i set out, washed and clayed the car. Lets just say this is the first detail this car has ever seen (i got it in...

So i got my shipment of stuff from Megs today (clay, #9, #81, and :bow #16 :bow , i love that stuff), and everything came out of the box ok (even though the box was beat to s**t, thanks a lot UPS), and everything looks great. The #16 smells like crayons like its supposed to (its blue, too, and...

So, i was bored a coupla days a go and decided to go to wal mart. Found myself wandering back to the automotive section (big surprised huh), and saw something interestering... It looked like an old sticky mit with a bonnet attached to it... was called "Black Magic Wet Shine Had-Waxing System"...

So, i know everybody has their favorite way of buffing off wax and sealants. What do you guys like? Microfiber, terry cloth, flannel, diaper material, loin cloths, whatever... I just wanna know what you use.

So, ive been looking around the local auto parts stores lately, and along with the terry applicator pads (which they've had for a while) a few places have 18x18 inch MF's for sale. Now, they aren't exactly cheap, but arent as much as some i've seen. So, im wondering, is there a good way to...

So, here's the story: Yesterday, my dad was bringing my sister back from the doctor's office and was driving his 1967 Pontiac Tempest (basically a GTO without the badges). He is about half way home, and hears this big CLUNK. HE pulls over, thining it was a muffler or something since they...

Hi guys. So, i've got some wierd scratches i want to get rid of, i cant feel them with my nail but they are white (car's black). Would MPPC do anything for these? I know it will help get rid of some of the light swirls and stuff, but will it do anything for these? Should i use ScratchX...

Hi guys. I have some rather interstering scratches on my car door from keys and the like (power nothing on this car you have to understand). The scratches are white (car's black), but when i run my fingernail over them my nail doesn't dig in and doesnt feel anything. I dont get it. Its not...

OK, well, i have a black cc car, so it shows more scratches than all the other colors combined. I have all these wierd scratches and micromarring on the roof, trunk lid and hood. If i hit them with MPPC, #9, then #81 and topped with #16, think it should get most of em out? most arent really...

Hi guys, i wanna try something new, and ive been thinking. Before i start i should probably say i have a black car with clear coat. I was wondering if anyone had ever put EX-P on top of some #16 or the other way around? Or what about EX-P and #26, either on top or under it? I dont know how...

It seems to me like a lot of places market chamois specifically for drying cars, but everything ive read on the board here nobody seems to use them... are they harmful or not safe or what? It seems to me like they are safer than just a regular terry cloth to dry, but maybe im mistaken. I'm...
