I really need to buy some ramps for oil changes and undercarriage detailing. Seems like a better alternative than the floor jack and jackstands.... I have looked at Rhino Ramps at Advance Auto, but both the Grand Prix and the Firebird are very low in the front & I'm sure the front facia/air...

Theres nothing quite like the smell of rich leather to make a car's interior inviting! Zaino Leather in a Bottle is one of my favorites, but the scent is gone in a week. Try these....... Yankee Candle Car Jars in LEATHER scent !!! My wife bought these for me. They last about 2 months, cost...

I've been using Meg's Endurance for about 3 years. It has been my favorite tire dressing. It has always been available at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Advance, AutoZone, etc. Since the new line of Meg's products has come out, Endurance has become harder and harder to find, so I thought I'd give EO Tire...

As soon as I got on the entrance ramp and saw the 2 trucks with full loads of GRAVEL, I new I was screwed !!!!! If I stayed behind them, I'd get pummeled. If I went around them, my chances were better (I thought). Made it around the first truck... Whew! Second truck NAILED ME WITH A FLYING...

For those who read my Firebird post... I had lots of energy this morning, so I decided to do the same to the Grand Prix... 1. QEW 2. 3M SMR by hand 3. Z2 by hand (x2) 4. Z6 I drive this car around 300 miles a week... (got the rock chips to prove it!!! ):realmad: Dang !!! I...

Like most of you, I've become kind of a tire dressing guru.... Only because I've used so many different brands and types.... :ermm: What I'm seeing is the same exact tire dressing applied to 4 different brands of tires, may have a completely different look on all 4... Initially, they pretty...

I bought the car in March, but I was heavily into chemotherapy at that time, until about 3 weeks ago. EXTREME FATIGUE! Now I feel like a 20-year-old again!!! So I spent a couple hours on the Firebird..... The pic shows the products I used... 3M SMR Zaino Z5 Zaino Z2 (x 2) Zaino Z6 (not...

Last night I was changing the headlight bulbs in my Grand Prix. Being Anal-boy that I am, I happened to notice some dirt BEHIND the headlight pod. Hhhmmmmmm.... Well, you guessed it. Yes, I took out the headlight pods and corner lights and cleaned behind them... You wouldn't believe all the...

A friend traded in his car for one with fabric interior. He gave me his bottle of Tanner's Preserve Leather Conditioner . I've been using Zaino Z-10 (Leather in a Bottle) for about 2 years, but I thought I'd give the Tanner's a try. This stuff really SOFTENS the leather. (and you may or may...

I was cleaning out my portable detailing bag last night, and I ran onto a 1/4 full bottle of Meguiar's No. 34 Final Inspection. This was actually the very first QD spray I ever used. So I thought I'd give it a try on the black Grand Prix. ... Great cleaning ability for bugs, light dirt, dust...

I'm a Zaino guy. I love Z-6 as a final step, although a little pricey as a daily detailer. BUT... I was in Advance Auto Parts yesterday, and I couldn't resist trying Meg's NXT Speed Detailer. Well............... I am impressed. 1. Very nice shine. 2. Applies easily after wash. 3. Very...

This product was a door prize at a car show. Thought I'd try it. Here's my take on it. 1. I hosed down the car completely. 2. Spray 3-4 squirts of Mother's Trigger Wash on each panel, washing with wash mit afterwards. 3. Rinse 4. Not the most sudsy, but very good slickness. 5. Very easy...

I'm running low on detail spray and I have been wanting to give Poorboys a try. They are about the same price. And both claim to be excellent QD's that really enhance the shine and prolong the underlying sealant or wax. Which do you prefer and why? .

I have checked several sources and can't seem to determine weather OCW is a carnuba-based or synthetic wax. I suspect, by it's longevity, that it's a synthetic. Nothing but good reports on this product. Planning to purchase soon.

This product has been my #1 choice for wheels for a couple years now. I think it's the best. Here's the story - - - My son drove his white Camaro on an 8-hour road trip this weekend. When he got home, the front end was just LOADED with bug-juice. I washed the car for him and did the wheels...

Hey guys.... I'm new here, but certainly not new to detailing. My passion for the last 30 years! I'm from Lee's Summit, MO, a large suburb of Kansas City MO. As much as I hate to say it, I'm getting my cars ready for winter. Brutal winter here in KC only lasts a couple months (Jan - Feb)...
