    Hi-Temp TERMINATOR II® (long term - kev) PAINT SEALANT

    Found at: http://www.topoftheline.com and http://www.hitempinc.com I noticed it at TOL, and for the price it seems like an incredible value. I may have to write the company or TOL to find out, but I have a few questions about it. 1. Does this product have cleaners which make it...

    originally here: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22059 Ok, I finally got around to trying this and using Meguiars Scratch X as the abrasive. I tried it in the dark after sunset, but I believe I see improvement. Before I started, I played the flashlight over the...

    What wax/sealant repells dust/dirt best?

    Broad question? Yes. I'd like to know what wax or sealant repels dust and dirt (both air and water born). I've read that S100/P21S rinses clean, so I'm guessing this might be the top dog here, but I don't know about it's dust attraction. What is the best of both worlds? I'm looking for...

    Kit Wax Scratch Out

    I saw this product at the local walmart and was wondering how this stuff is. When reading the directions on the back of the bottle, I found it strange that it claimed to only need to be wiped on and off. (I would think that with any abrasive, it would give better results with rubbing) I...

    Microfiber @ Walmart: $4.86 5 14x14's

    I was at Walmart today for a carwash to raise money for the trip I might be going on. (what a painful experience; working with ordinary average people washing cars). Anyway, I was browsing the automotive section and saw these MFs on a box near the floor. I was just at Target where the price...

    Same pads for PC and rotary?

    I'm thinking about jumping straight into the rotary (but not on good cars + paint):shocked with this rotary. Cost is a concern for me, and if I master this, I'll be set for pretty much anything in the future. My car is pretty badly swirled with buffer marks and wet sanding scratches, so I'd be...

    Can Gold Class Wax and S100 Paste Wax be layered?

    GC wax is supposedly a synthetic type of wax (yeah yeah, broad category) and S100 is a carnauba. Neither is particularly durable, but I figured in combination, it might be OK. I tried it out, and couldn't determine much...I'll have to do some further tests to see if it actually worked (stripe...

    http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23283 Scottwax was telling about how he detailed a black lexus without a clearcoat. I happen to have a black hondaCRX without a clearcoat. What makes the care of these special? I like the non-clearcoat because I can see how effective I...

    Harley-Davidson dealer didn't have S100 paste wax!

    I went to the local dealer and after browsing their other S100 and other products, and not finding S100 wax, I asked about the situation. The guy there said that they didn't have any and wouldn't be getting any because people found it too hard to work with. He said that he'd order it for me if...

    Using Makita BO4552 "Finishing Sander" as polisher...

    I have a pad to addapt to the sander in the works and was wondering how well this will work. My concern is the sander's classification as a "finishing sander". It orbits at 14,000 opm (no joke) , and I'm guessing that these are realitivly small orbits. here is some info from their Makita's...
