    Zep commercial car wash

    This is available in a blue gallon jug at my Home Depot for 10 bucks and was wondering if anyone here has used it before with any luck? It says it`s a high foaming formula that can be used in either a pressure washer or the traditional wash bucket. Thoughts ? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Drying Aid- quick wax or quick detailed on Collinite 845

    Car is finished with Collinite 845---UQD was my "go to" for years and I still love it. I`m wondering if there is something else I can grab off the counter (like UQW) that works as well or better? Black car again, finished w/ 845.

    Is M7 glaze compatible with a sealant?

    I`ve been reading how single stage paint loves m7 from megs so I will be buying it for my mustang regardless. Now, how does it stack up on a clear coated finish that is presently sealed with 845? I`m talking purely from a shine perspective here. Enchanting gloss if that`s possible...

    Covers for pets- anyone on here put dogs in cars?

    Well, I never thought I`d transport my dog in my car esp a brand new one but the time has come. Long story short, what does everyone here use as a pet cover for back seats? For ten bucks I can get nice blankets from Costco to cover up the seats. Also, there is a cover brand they carry too...

    M205+rotary=small holograms

    Hey guys, Just started to my paint with my makita rotary, white LC pad and M205. I wouldn't say they're pad holograms but more like a mist over the paint under the right light. Almost like a sheen or a light fog on some areas. I think I may have had it too high at 2000 RPM. Should I drop...

    Cleaning up aluminum parts in engine bay.

    Belt tensioner, alternator, power steering pump bracket and much more are aluminum. I don't necessarily want it to a polished finish at all, just a nice clean. I have some aluminum polish I bought years ago that I could try. Would a scotch brite pad and some wd40 work too?

    Polishing single stage paints

    **UPDATE** Hit one of the panels with a quick pass using M105 and my makita. The results were great. Left some marring but I expected that using the combo above. If I go with M205 and a rotary or DA, am I good with this combo?

    Ok so here is what I'm into and getting deeper into every day. I'm doing a pretty big and rather detailed clean up job of the engine bay of my 1990 Mustang LX. When I bought the car last year, it was caked with a wax-like rust inhibitor. I decided to take this mess off the engine bay...
