Heres my sister's 1999 Ford Escort, as some of you saw at the Poorboy's Detailing day in NY. A little over 3 weeks ago, I gave it a full detail, even though it was in pretty good shape from the previous owner. Polished out with 1Z Paint Polish with a polishing pad than applied EX-P by hand...

Just curious how these two polishes compare in terms of cutting??? Right now I have half bottle of SSR2.5 and about a 1/4 of 1Z PP left and i'm wondering if I should give IP a try. The 1Z PP is a good polish, it really cleans up the paint, but i'm still left with some swirls. I'm wondering if IP...

Was just at Costco today and while waiting for my tires to be installed, I was browsing around and noticed they have a Shop Vac All Around wet/dry vac. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular vac??? My other vac is really old and has been giving me problems lately. I...

I originally posted this on Autopia and got a bigger response than expected. It seems like i'm not the only one with troubles from EX/EX-P. For anyone who hasn't seen the post, a quick recap: it seems fellow Autopians and I have been seeing parts of unbuffed EX/EX-P magically appearing after...

After doing a couple of cars with EX and EX-P it always seems that unbuffed spots of product magically appear after a week or day of rain. I got my cousin the VM/EX combo from SMP and we did his Explorer and Jimmy; and both cars within a week had the product appearing everywhere. I helped him...

I own a couple of yellow LC cutting pads and a couple white LC polishing pads. Anyway some are getting cut up and mangled from all the cars i've done, so i'm thinking about trying the Edge classic DA pads. There priced pretty good and supposily absorb less product which would be a big plus. I...

I recently purchased a Nikon Cool Pix 3700 from Electronics Expo about a week ago. I got it for $177 after mir. They now have it in this weeks ad for $144 :mad: . Anyway my question for the digital cameras experts out there is, I have a small blue pixel on my lcd screen. It just appeared a...

Ok, I've been considering a new car this whole summer, and while I've been unsuccessful selling my truck, I still might get to buy a new car. My father left the oil cap off on his 89 Corolla, and now the engine is pretty shot. So theres a good chance hes gonna take my truck and give me some...

Heres my Uncle's 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty that he uses for his construction business. It basically just sits in the driveway, waiting for his older pickup to die. Anyway we just got back from a weekend in the woods and this thing had a lot of mud. Sorry no before pictures. Anyway it got 1Z...

Today, I was over at my uncle's house doing up my cousin's black civic. He lives out in Indiana and just came back yesterday for a couple weeks, before moving out to San Diego. Anyway, while I was detailing his car, my other cousin's husband was also there. My uncle's been storing his Harley and...

I own a PC with the 6" PC BP it comes with from Coastaltool. I noticed on autogeek.net under Meguiars pads it says only to use the 6.5" pads with a 5" BP. I also noticed that under their LC VC pads. I've been using my BP with LC VC 6" pads and have no problems, I recently picked up a Meguiars...

Not sure if this was already posted or not by CMA is now stocking new, constant pressure pads made by LC. This means there getting rid of all their standard and advanced pads and accessories. I know most of the pads are sold out by now, but I just picked up a 6" bp for $15 shipped. I wasn't to...

through PAC??? I noticed its only listed on your website, but not any of the dists. sites. I'm just curious if you have a time estimate as to when they will start carrying it. I'd like to pick some up at PAC along with a lot of other things and can really use the 10% discount and free shipping.

Anyone who has used both of them care to compare them? I have SSR2.5 and really like it. It breaks down fast, gives me good results and smells great. I'm almost out of 1Z PP(another great polish) and was considering replacing it with #80 Speed Glaze. I really like the fact that I can get a...

I've used my bottle of SSR2.5 on a bmw 740 and my sister's car, little escort and I think i'm using to much of it. Theres about 3/4 of product left in the bottle. So my question is: am i using way to much product or is this normal?? 4 fl. oz seemed a lot for only 2 cars. btw this was used with...

Couldn't help to notice on my bottle of EX that Carnuaba is spelled Carnuba. Im curious if theres a reason why Steve mispelled carnuaba or if it just slipped by him and the labeling process??? It's also mispelled on the Poorboys website along with PwC. Can you tell i'm bored and its been raining...

I know the general rule of thumb is to allow a sealant 24 hrs to cure in between coats. My question is if i'm applying 1 coat of a sealant should the finish be intacted for at least 24 hrs??? Reason I ask because I detailied my aunt's 626 last Thursday night. I finished putting a coat of EX on...
