I need a product which can get the soot off the tips of my pipes. I have a turbo car so the soot tends to build up faster, and is also harder to remove. I don't want to polish the pipes to a chrome finish, because they have a flat aluminum look. I just want to remove the gunk...any ideas? I...

I am looking at the LC line, which seems like a good place to start. Does the backing plate matter? I will be mainly polish light defects on my car (light swirls) and heavier swirls on my family cars. Also, I will use the PC to apply AIO's such as Prime or ZAIO to remove old wax/sealants...

Many times when I apply a sealant like AJT I notice some thick streaks afterwards. It seems difficult to avoid and I usually do one spray per panel. Perhaps this indicates I am using too much product? On the interior, when applying 303, I often find I can't get even coverage. It is difficult...

I have tried multiple tire products...Armor All Tire Foam, Detailers Advantage Tire Foam, Mothers FX, Z16...and so far the shine is really quite minimal and gone within a few days. I do scrub the tire before application, and I usually do a few passes with the foam swiper..Any ideas? So...

I need some suggestions for interior CLEANERS...not protectants or conditioners. I already have Z9/Z10 and 303. Something that is extremely versatile would be great (leather,plastic,vinyl,carpet etc.). If the product requires a dilution, please let me know. Thanks.

I have these black plastic trim pieces between the passenger windows and rear windows on both the drivers side and passengers side. I think they are called B-pillar pieces. Anyway they are swirled up bad from the dealer. How would Prime Strong work? Any other suggestions?

I am confused on dressings vs. protectants..I hear some people use tire dressing on plastics while others use 303? What is a good product for plastic - mainly for protection (i.e., preventing discoloration from sun), and some slight sheen? Thanks.

Lets discuss ways of parking strategically so we prevent dings. I always find out that after my effort of trying to give the next guy ample room he ends up parking 1 foot away from my door. Makes me crazy. :grrr

If it is, what would be better for the occasional bird bomb, water spot, quick detail...FK 425 or #34? Take in consideration lubricity and protection. Thanks. Oh yeah, I just came in from cleaning a bird bomb with ONR QD concentration. It worked well, but I am wondering if there is better.

I need some good reccomendations for tools that can easily reach into the back of the spokes to scrub the caked on brake dust (without scratching). I have the megs wheel spoke cleaner (yellow brush), but they discontinued this item and I am wondering if its any good any more...basically, what is...

Please help as my car is too low. My hand can barely fit at the top of the wheels into the well so I was wondering how you guys do it...products/degreasers/etc...

I called the manufacturer and they said not to do it. Yet many autopians here do it with no ill-effects. Is it safe? Quite frankly I am getting tired of hand-washing them.

That after application, the leather feels tighter, and a big tougher to the touch? After a while it seems to go away and the leather looks and feels nice but the intial application is scary...:soscared:

How can I go about this. There is a lot of plastic on my engine. Would a UV spray like 303 suffice? How about some Prime/AJT?

My school uses a ridiculous amount of sand to reduce the chance of people falling. Should I just treat the areas with heavy salt/sand with ONR at QD? Should I pressure wash it? I am curious because sand is very abrasive and I am wondering the best way to go about washing it without dragging...

To this day, I have never seen a coin-op or know of anyone who uses one...where can I find them?

Mom spreaded some Kosher table salt on the driveway and my car had to be pulled out of the garage for a sec. A strong wind blew and the table salt she was spreading blew onto my hood. The salt is now sort of like "glued" onto the hood (cant blow it off) and the grains are pretty big (not as big...

Isn't this product the most highly regarded QD of the OTC line? Would I be better off with something like Quikshine or Poorboy's? My intended use is cleaning wood trim, bird bombs, and dust on interior, etc. Can I find Meg's FI OTC? (it seems to be part of their 'professional line'...

Can anyone solve this for me in y=mx+b form? - Find the equations of the tangent lines at the points (1,5) and (2,3). How you got the answer would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I feel pretty silly asking a detailing forum about this but I know alot of you guys are smart so its worth a...

Of course when I went to wash my some of my MF's in the washer, I eventually forgot about them. I had left to school and came home only to find them in the dryer mixed up with other bath towels/etc. Of course, the heat was on high. Now mind you, I KINDLY asked my family to leave my towels alone...
