    Plastx or Mothers Plastic Polish for headlights

    My headlights are getting a little fuzzy and I want to clean them up. Do you have a preference over either one of the two or do they work pretty much the same? I've been able to find Mothers in Pep Boys, but can't find Plastx.

    Need an Ipod car mount

    I hardwired my ipod mini and need a mount that meets the following criteria: 1. I want it to mount at the middle or bottom of my center console. I just don't care for the vent mounts (clip type). 2. I would like one that would hold the dock connector so that I could slide the ipod in...

    Anyone use a Humidifier?

    With winter upon us, the heater is on 24/7 drying up the air. My throat is always sore and my skin is dry. Do you guys use one and if so what can you recommend?

    Anyone recommend a good air compressor

    I'm looking for a small air compressor mainly to inflate tires and blow out seams. I would like a compact one that I can use a nailing gun for occasional crown molding. It does not have to be anything fancy. Can anyone recommend one? I was looking at the small Husky @ Home Depot but I'm not...

    Need All Season Tires

    I'm looking to replace my 215/50/15 tires. I've tried Continental Contextreme (Great tire) and Yokohama Avid(Poor tire). I was probably going to go back to the Continentals, but read really good review on Avon Tech M550. One of the tire shops around me can't stop talking about the Falkens...

    My first full rotary job

    I thought my PC would be enough to handle this Mercedes, but I was wrong. I spent 15 mins. on a 2x2 section (cutting pad and 83) with ok results. However, at that rate I would never get it done so I decided to use my Makita rotary. I've only used it 2 or 3 time and that was just for spot...

    My first full rotary job

    I was hoping my PC would have been enough to take care of this Mercedes, but after taking 30 minutes to do a 2x2 section with little results I gave up (cutting pad and 83). I pulled out the rotary and decided I was going to take the risk and see what happens. I've done spot work with my...

    OCW before or after wax?

    I've read many post and what I have gathered is OCW should be applied before wax (ex. 16, Natty, Collinite, etc.) because of streaking issues. OCW can be applied on top of wax that has been sitting for 2 weeks. Is this basically it or am I missing something? My plan AIO, SG (x2), OCW, 16.

    How can I detail more efficently?

    It boggles me how some of you can finish some jobs so fast. What takes some of you 3 hours to do would take me 6. I think I'm moving at a fast pace with my PC or rotary, but by the time I'm done 5-6 hours have pasted while some of you could have done the same car in half the time. I try to...

    What spray wax would you use?

    I've been very skeptical about spray waxes, but after reading a number of positive reviews about OCW I thought I would give it a try as part of my winter regime. Now I'm reading that there are other companies that have created one (DP, Jeff, etc.) with promising results. What spray wax would...

    Does SG have any bonding issues?

    I'm looking to prep for the winter and planned on doing AIO, SG (2x), sealant (EX) and/or wax(16). Will SG have any problems with these products and how long would you wait for the product to cure before applying more product? Thanks

    Need help winterizing my black Honda?

    I have a black honda with a fair amount of swirls. They are not deep, I probably just looked at my car the wrong way and BAM swirl marks. Anyway here's a list of products I have, what combos are compatible for removing swirls and giving me the most protection for the up coming winter? SSR...

    Tool to remiove wax from seams?

    I used a little too much #80 and got some excess in between the seams of the molding. I bought Black Magic's detailing brush pack and tried to use the tool with the rubberized tip, but it did nothing. Other than using less product and avoid the seams what tools/tips can give me to remove the...

    Rotary Help?

    New to the Makita rotary so I need a little help. 1. Do you use the handles or do you guide with the head? 2. What pads? I have LC VC pads, but they just seem to difficult to use. Should I go to a smaller pad like propel and if so what size back plate. Patrick has a 6" backplate but...

    Leather cleaning and Rotary ?

    I was cleaning an Audi the other day and the 10:1 and 6:1 Woolite solution was not cutting it. Can I use an APC, if so what ratio? Are other products out there that I can use? She had some deep scratches that my PC, cutting pad, SSR2.5, speed 6, and heavy pressure could not get out after 3...

    Mini ipod or 20 GB

    I have a gift certificate ($140) and was thinking about buying the mini or the 20GB. I really don't want to have to pull that much more out of pocket to pay for this but then I figure more than half of it is paid for so maybe I should go for it. I was leaning towards the mini because of it's...
