:2thumbs:I just received the Psiclops Extreme tire gauge. I am so impressed with this gauge - I thought some people on autopia might be interested. The super flexible hoses and the ability to balance the air in 2 tires at a time is really nice but the best part is the no leak chucks. They are so...

This guys comes up to me with his can of FW1 and starts his pitch about waterless wash. I stop him and tell him I do my own detaiing and use ONR. He tells me my car looks good and asks if I use a clay bar. I tell him I do and he says"you are removing the clearcoat!". What's the deal with these...

I was thinking about trying the garden sprayer with ONR. Do you guys use just water or water with ONR in your rinse bucket? The reason I am asking is that even though the ONR solution is sprayed on the paint, the MF cloth or wash mitt is saturated with water if the bucket does not contain the...

Today I tried 845 after washing and drying my car. It already had UPP and Optiseal and I wanted to top it with 845. My first observation was that 845 smells like Raid bug spray and it has a really oily feel. It felt like I was putting olive oil and solvent on the car. I let it haze for about 15...

This morning I tried my new Monterey WW drying towel from Excel Detail. When I received the towel, it looked much thinner than my old waffle weave so I was curious to see how it worked. I was skeptical so I had my old "thick" waffle weave for back up. Boy was I surprised! That soft, lightweight...

I just saw an ad for this stuff in Car & Driver. Is this for real or just another bogus product? http://www.quixx-usa.com/english/index.htm

In the past, I praised Patrick at Excel Detail for the great service and fair/honest shipping costs. Well all I have to say is that some people get it and some don't. Patrick definitely "gets it". On Monday, I realized we have a long weekend ahead with Thanksgiving and I would have time to...

Today after washing and drying my car, I used OCW. After I was done, I noticed a spot that looked like bird bomb residue. I put a pinhead amount of Klasse AIO on a MF and removed the spot. When I wiped the AIO off, I noticed that the spot where the AIO was applied was much slicker feeling that...

I saw this on sale at Pep Boys so I decided to try it out. This product sucks :down The instructions say to slighty squeeze the container until product appears on the foam pad. Instead of product appearing in the hole in the middle(where is it supposed to flow), the silicone oil oozed out...

My friend just purchased a new 325i and told me the dealer is going to detail his car next week and it will take 6 hours. When he bought his last car 3 years ago, I tried to educate him about using clay, Klasse AIO and SG, microfiber towels, QD's etc. Everytime he sees my car, he is amazed how...

I am so impressed with Patrick's service, I just had to post this thread. I placed 2 orders with Excel Detail over the past few months, nothing too big, some MF towels and detailing products however I am blown away by the service that Patrick provides. First of all, I received the products...

After reading the threads on autopia regarding creeper seats, I ordered one last week. It arrived in 2 days and I just tried it out. It assembles in under 5 minutes, is really lightweight and is very smooth when moving around the car in my garage. It makes waxing/wiping the lower panels a breeze...

This morning I tried Poorboy’ EX and here are my initial impressions. I did not use any polish prior to EX because I currently have Klasse AIO and 3 layers of SG topped with P21S, which I used about 5 weeks ago instead of my usual Pinnacle Paste Glaz which is my favorite topper for my silver...

I tried the EO tire cleaner today. I had been using 3M wheel and tire cleaner since I bought a gallon of it:D Anyway, since I have been going to the coin op car wash, the EO is an excellent product because you spray it on the tires while they are dry, then scrub if needed and rinse with water...

I tried P21S this evening on my wife's white Accord. The Accord has a layer of AIO that was applied about 2 weeks ago. After washing the car, I decided to try out P21S since I have been using Paste Glaz as a topper on my Passat, I was curious about P21S. It was easy to apply, a little less oily...

I was surfing the web and found this: http://www.enduralast.com/ Sounds interesting.....:nixweiss

Today I tried the DF Towel with ClearKote Quik Shine. The results were disappointing. The towel 12x12 did not absorb anywhere near as well as Pak Shak MF's. My usual method is to spray Quik Shine on each panel and wipe with a Pak Shak 16x16 towel. I fold the Pak Shak into quarters and use a...

I tried Poorboys NATURAL LOOK today. It smells like EO Protectant Lotion, has a nice cherry aroma. The concern I have is that the label says “contains petroleum distillates� however it also states that it is water based. There is no chemical smell to indicate the presence of petroleum...

Yesterday I used my PC for the first time. I bought the PC primarily to improve the paint condition on my wife's ‘98 Accord. The car is white, no clear coat and had oxidation on the roof and hood and lots of scratches. My goal was to remove the oxidation and scratches and put some Klasse...
