With temps getting really cold I start to worry about all my products in the garage. Now that I think about it, thats pretty bad that I'm "worrying" about my products being outside like I would worry about my dog. Oh well!!! What do you guys do with your stuff, leave it or bring them in?

We had our first really cold day in Jersey!!! I went to open my door and nearly pulled off the handle. A couple tugs later and I was able to get it. I saw something on tv where they said to treat the rubber seals with silicon. What do you guys use to prevent your doors from freezing shut?

I've been wanting to get an air compressor for detailing but could never convince my wife. Now that we have a new house I "Need" one for winterizing my sprinkler system, and installing crown molding, inflating the car tire/misc stuff. I know nothing about brands, PSI and tank size so I would...

Looking to get ready for the Jersey winter but I can't decide between these products. From what I have gathered #16 is easier to use and looks much better but the collinite last longer. How many months can I expect out of these products and how noticable of a difference will there be? Which...

I've done a couple cars and they have come out great but there is always one or two things that I just can't clean (because they let things sit too long). I think some think I can perform miracles with a PC. I try to let them know that I clean and enhance a car not repair them. I have always...

A customer apparently let some wheel cleaner sit to long on her wheels leaving a lot of white hazing. I tried using PP but it did nothing? What can I do to remove it and what wheel cleaners do you use that isn't so agressive but still effective?

I'm detailing my first Corvette convertible tomorrow. Any suggestions on how to clean it? Any suggestions on off the shelf products since I don't have time to order 303 or Raggtop. Also should I use EX or EX-P on maroon? Thanks

Where can you buy 3M Adhesive Remover? I found 3M Adhesive and Wax Remover (in a spray can) at Walmart. However, when I was looking at my recent Griots catalog the 3M Adhesive Remover was in a red and white rectangular can for $15. Are the two the same? If not, where can I get it? I've got...

I'm a little frustrated with my inability to remove swirls/scratches with my pc. I have tried many approaches but nothing. I'm going to see what SSR2.5 can do but if that doesn't work I'm going to really consider getting a rotary. I've read that there seems to be a split between the Dewalt...

Can I use Dawn to remove my 3 week old application of S100, SG, and AIO? I would like to try my Poorboy line up tomorrow. Any suggestions?

I have been reading the boards for a while and have contemplated getting into my own part-time business. I kept pushing it off because I didn't want to screw up anyone's car but after reading and experimenting I feel comfortable enough to branch out and make a profit. I mentioned to a...

After being on the boards for a while I have tried many things suggested by board members. I'm always looking for a better and easier product to use. Mind you I won't purchase a product unless there is a huge consensus on it. Any way I have products that I have barely used due to a number of...

I might be the first to say this but I used the AIO and SG for the first time on my black accord and I wasn't that happy with the results. I followed the directions from CMA and various tips from the board but it wasn't that smooth and sparkling as when I used 3M products with my PC. I must...

I read that NTS7 was US distributor for Sonax? Is this true? Is the shampoo the same thing with a different badge? Here's the website NTS7.com

It just gets to the point where you have to be crazy to clean your car outside during the winter months. I want to take it to the car wash but I'm afraid of all of the scratches. I can go to the touchless places but it does nothing but spray high pressured water which only removes large...

Is the kit worth purchasing from CMA or would I be better off just getting the Autoglym Glass Polish and using my PC? http://www.properautocare.com/glaspolkit.html If I can't get the fine scratches out does anyone know how much it would cost to have them professionally removed?

After searching and reading about removing scratches from my windshield I have found that I really can't do much. However, two products kept coming up Autoglym and Z-12. I have heard some goods things about them but not to expect miracles. I need help deciding on the two to help remove/reduce...

Is there anything I can do to remove scratches from my windshield? There is huge arched scratch on my windshield caused by something being stuck on my wipers. This arch is annoying the hell out of me. Help!!! Thanks

I know this question has been asked a million times but I need to order my wax and polish in time for this weekend. It appears that this is the last weekend that we are going to have at 70 temps (in NJ) for a long time and I want to get my car ready for the winter. I just ordered my PC last...

I plan on purchasing my first PC this week. I have read through the hundreds of post and keep getting different opinions on the basic supplies needed. I just want to start off simple with the basic pads and cleaners/wax. What are the bare essentials for the PC? What is the easiest...
