Whats up with GM new chameleon paint on their trucks and suv's? I'm assuming its GM's factory paint as I have only seen it on Gm vehicles (cadillac, avalanch, tahoe, ect.). Neighbor is driving a Cadillac Escalade in this color. It looks soo tacky, not even mentioning the confusion on which...

Do you have to use the Fast Cure Additive in order to use the sealant? I know the question is sort of a given, and at first I thought I knew the answer, but now I'm just not sure. I know the additive is for multiple coats, but what if I just wanna put one coat? Does the sealant behave...

THIS OFFER IS OVER. TEXASB WAS THE FIRST TO REPLY WITH AN ANSWER I GUESS. SORRY EVERYONE. So who wants it? I got a new gallon of spray n rinse free from a trade with another member and now I have two gallons. One unfortunately is really low and can probably only fill a spray bottle to the top...

One of my biggest most challenging petpeeves when it comes to washing my car is drying the friggin' car. It has gotten so bad that I take about 2 hours to fully finish a regular weekly clean up on the exterior of my car. Sure when I clean my sisters, mothers, fathers, ect. cars on the...

Almost finished up my GC and wanted to use a high foaming soap for when I get a chance to try out my Gilmour gun. Instead of going with GC as the dedicated gun soap, I was thinking of NXT. Where the heck did it go? I can't find it anywhere.

Just to lay it down, I want to specify that I use a measuring cup to measure the carwash product. On most carwash soaps I always sue one ounce per gallon. Recently upon using and purchasing Poorboy's SS&S Ive been using 2 1/2 ounces to fill up my 5 gallon bucket. It has been to my surprise...

Ok well as many of you may have read and seen, I gave my car its first engine detail 2 weeks ago (I think). I used Poorboy's TR on flat plastic and sprayed hard to reach areas with Stoner's Trim Shine. Now I know many products don't last that long and aren't meant to. Poorboy's Trim Restorer...

Thats the question. When drying with Waffle Weaves, do you prefer to blot or swipe. I have been very unsuccesful in blot drying and find that using a slick QD works well. What do you guys do?

Got a car coming in this weekend. Its my great grandfathers work truck! He passed away some time ago, and pretty much has stayed in storage since. We will not be selling it (sentimental value) but plan on fixing it up and keeping it here around the house for whenever we have to move stuff. The...

I wanted to get myself one of those EURO Plates to put on the fornt of my car. I live in florida and it does not require a front plate. The reason I want a front plate is because my black car is getting a lot of rock chips and I wanted to dort of mask and draw the attention away from the chips...

I want to say thanks to everyone that helped me out on my last thread. I had a pretty decent looking engine with the exception of dust and gime in hard to reach areas. I had never really given the engine a real detail and it was starting to show. Wipe downs only last soo long. Pretty much all I...

Hey guys, well I've been thinking its time to clean up the engine on my car. I've never done an engine detail but really wanna clean up my car. Only problem is I'm scared of getting certain things wet. Especially since BMW's come with a lot of electronic controls and it would really suck if I...

:punk: :punk: :punk: :punk: I know the benefit to S&W is its cleaning ability and for shine/gloss goes to Spray and Gloss. But after washing I see the paint sort of "crisp". And when i give it a quick shot of S&W the paint isn't as clear on reflections, but definately looks darker!

This car needed some attention. It was all fine and good. It had Zaino z5 (2x's) and FK1 Pink Wax on top. It was going 2 1/2 months strong and BOOM! Some one hits my back bumper. If that wasn't enough, the cool dudes at Sable Chase gave me a complimentary wash. They mean't well, but it surely...

My question is regarding "polymer sealants". I love UPP's look on dark grey metallics. I always was weary of using it on days with the clouds rolling by, with fear of it raining and it "drowning" the polymers. Now, If i apply UPP tomorrow, it rains in the evening, obviously the durabilty would...

I've heard of the quick disconnect systems for the foam gun, but I was wondering if any existed for use with the garden hose. Something I can use to quickly switch from the hose gun to the pressure cleaner and then once again to the hose. Does this type of thing exist? And if so where would I...

I like using Spray and Rinse, only thing is that I find it way too strong, even at 1:1. Now I'm no Chemist but does dilluting it more than 1:1 neutralize the acids sooo much that it would make the chemicals less effective for weekly washing? The reason I dont just grab soap and water is...

This goes out to all the Detailing Chemist. On the wheel cleaning thread a lot of us were recommending against the extended use of Simple Green. I know that it's not good on a lot of surfaces. I've seen it instantly discolor the aluminum sides of my garage door, but other than seeing it dull...
