I have been using Quik Shine for a couple for weeks now. I am impressed with the gloss and the slickness of the paint after using this QD. Today I found 3 bird bombs on my car(birds seem to love a silver car). I sprayed a bit of Quik Shine and it removed the bombs easier that my previous bird...

I ordered some with my Quick and Easy Wash from Camping World, couldn't pass up that $1 shipping and it took 2 days to arrive! Anyway, it has petroleum distillates in it and I know many waxes do but it smells like Pledge and sprays likes a white foamy wax, kinda like Plexus or Pledge but...

I recently ordered the large 54 x 28 waffle weave towel from microfibertech.com. Since I now have to use a coin op car wash and cannot remove the spray nozzle like I used to when using my own hose, I found that drying the car has become more of an issue since more water is left on the surface...

I finally got a chance to try out the Platinum Paint Protection and Gloss Enhancer that Tim was nice enough to sample for FREE. I washed the car and clayed the paint with clay magic, a very easy procedure. Then I used Pinnacle Paint Cleaner Lotion (the old orange smelling one) to clean the...

Fellow Autopians, I started out using an Absorber to dry off my car. Then I discovered the Water Bandit and it was far better- less drag and it soaked up more water. After trying the super large MF from neatitems, I find this is the best way to dry the car. It doesn't have that drag along the...

This stuff was on sale at Target, so I thought I would try it out. It looks like hand lotion, smells like cherries and is easy to apply to the EO tire applicator. It is very similar to the VW interior and exterior protectant that is made by Eagle One.I buffed it off after 5 minutes. It is much...

I picked up the following MF's at Long's yesterday: Butler Cleanall Waffle Weave MF 70/30 for $5.49 12 x14 3M Scotch Brite MF High Performance Cloth 80/20 for $4.99 12 x 14 Viper 2 pack MF 80/20 plush for $8.99 16 x 16 The Butler is the highest quality waffle weave I have seen so far. It...

I realized over the past month that this little MF cloth is becoming my favorite little detailing accessory. I keep it on my console and when I am in the car, at a stop light or stuck in traffic, this little wonder cloth does a great job cleaning the rearview mirror, the sun visor vanity...

banzaitoyota suggested charliesoap to clean MF Towels. Well, I went to the site, ordered Wonder Wash and Charliesoap and tried the Wonderwash today. It works as advertised, no dyes, softeners, perfumes, etc and the MF towels came out softer than using Dawn or All Free Clear. We also used it on...

Towel comparison This is not a scientific comparison but a practical use comparison. I sprayed water on a vertical surface mirror and noted how much water was removed with minimal wipes of the cloth (wickability) and how much lint was left behind. I did not test the removal of waxes, polishes...

The service sucks. I ordered a few items on Dec. 7. On Dec 10 they acknowledged the email and said it would be a 1-2 day delay. Here is is Dec. 17, no package. No email status, no UPS tracking number, nada, zilch, nothing. I emailed them this morning and got no reply yet. I won't buy from 3M's...

Yesterday I went to calcarcover.com (since I only live 20 minutes away from the store) and picked up the Blue Clay Magic Kit, The Spray and Clay Kit contains a 100g deep cleaning bar, and a 8 oz. spray bottle of 49-Body Shine for $15. I never used a clay bar before so I wanted to try it out on...

I posted this under detailing instead of Product Reviews, sorry for the double post. This morning I tried out my new Neatitems.com 24" x 46" MF towel to dry my car. Until now, I have been using the Water Bandit which did a good job but required frequent wringing out and needed to be followed up...

This morning I tried out my new Neatitems.com 24" x 46" MF towel to dry my car. Until now, I have been using the Water Bandit which did a good job but required frequent wringing out and needed to be followed up with an MF cloth to get the missing spots. Also for vertical panels, the water bandit...

Hey Autopians, If you read about how the fibers in plush MF pick up and hold grease, dirt, etc wouldn't that indicate that it may also remove QD's that contain carnauba as well as carnauba waxes themselves? I understand using plush MF's for removing Klasse AIO and SG, since the polymer bonds...

It seems like everytime I detail my car the birds love to bomb it. Good thing I keep the FI in the trunk! Just finished washing with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo and using Crystal Mist. Went out for a ride and sure enough, bird bombs on the trunk. I never noticed such a problem with my other cars I...

Since rain and snow are upon us all for a few months, I was wondering if you tried 303 on your wiper blades to keep them from chattering and squealing. I know 303 sells a special "towelette" for wiper blades, is it just 303 like we use for our vinyl and rubber? I hate when my wipers start...

I recently purchased this digital tire gauge to replace my old Accu-Gauge round faced, push and hold analog tire gauge. The Accutire MS-4000GB is a great, easy to read digital gauge. You press and hold the gauge on the tire valve and it "stores" a nice, easy to read, backlit digital readout of...

I spent the morning trying out some items from my Paste Glaz Kit that I got on Ebay for $40. The Bodywork Shampoo was okay, I followed the instructions and used 1 ounce in a gallon of water. Personally, I prefer Meguiars Gold Class and Mothers Gold Car Wash. The Bodywork Shampoo has much less...

Just found this website, thought it should be a good new thread topic to debate. http://www.buffalomilke.com/newinterface/faqs.htm:eek: :rolleyes:
