    P21S vs Blitz - My Experience

    Well, as a die hard Blitz fan I decided to use P21S on the bimmer this last weekend. First impressions - I wasn't too impressed - call me crazy but it seemed to get deeper after a couple of hours or it was my imagination:confused: . Application: P21S was easy on and off as is Blitz. Pro in...

    Please Comment on my regimen:

    I usually clay, medallion paint cleaner, Omega Glaze and then wax with Blitz - all by hand. Sunday may be the last major exterior detail until next spring.The car is in excellent condition with minor scratches and minor swirls. I plan on breaking out my PC for the first time on my bimmer...

    Window Coverings?

    I was just wondering what you guys might think would be best for window coverings? As I mentioned we are currently building. Due to the architectural controls I have two rather large/tall windows on the street side of the garage. Should I just get some cheap venetians at Walmart or can you...

    Ugh...the never ending PC saga

    OK. I have my PC 7424, have my counter weight on order, and picked up a W64DA backing plate and a few pads. Problem now is I recall that the PC didn't have a bolt in the mandrill (I am at work now) and I just picked up the backing plate and it doesn't have a bolt either. Sooooooooo......how do...

    ***Canadian Porter Cable Info***

    The 7424 in on sale at Canadian Tire for $174.00 Cdn. Based on Lowes $109 USD price using a 1.60 conversion makes this a pretty good deal ($174 and no shipping charge) Only problem is the 5" pad counter weight that is included. I called one store and they put me onto Delta Tool here in...

    Another PC Question.....Sorry

    The PC is on sale at Canadaian Tire here in Canada. The flyer came out this morning but it did not list the model number - I am pretty sure it is the 7424 though. So regarding the counter weight, if I get this unit rather than the 7336, how imperative is it that I get the counter weight for...

    Clay Magic Question?

    I called the Canadian distributor for Clay Magic here to order some bars. He asked me which one "blue or red"? Knowing that there were different grades I asked what the difference was and he said blue is for dark colored cars and red is for light colored cars ?????? I asked what color has to...

    Are you guys tired of being right...

    all of the time? I have used Vinylex on the inside of my bimmer before and it was quite good but was a little too shiney and left a bit of residue which was a bit of a pain - mainly on the interior door handle. I picked up a little bottle of 303 and did the interior plastic and it looks...

    Garage Lighting???

    We are building a new house and I would like to put in something better than the standard two 60W bulbs to begin with. I have seen lots of flourescent but I am in Canada and not sure if they can withstand the -30 degree weather. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:bow

    Buffed Up My Highbeams..er.. Headlights!

    I am in Canada and it still hasn't been warm enough to do a full exterior detail. I washed the car and decided to polish the headlight housing on the bimmer with Meguiar's #10 Clear Plastic Polish. I originally bought the stuff to do the bug deflector on my wife's F150. The lights had been...

    Repost: Budget Orbital Buffer?

    I posted this under another title and surprisingly didn't get a response which is tough to do in this forum. I was at Canadian Tire on the weekend and they had LOTS of these Simoniz Random Orbital buffers on the shelves. I was wondering what you guys think of it. It is $89.00 Cdn which is a...

    Simoniz Cordless ROB????

    Has anyone used the Simoniz cordless random orbital buffer? I am not sure if it is new or not but Canadian Tiire had tons of these things stocked on their shelves. It will only go up to 2900 for speed.

    Wheel Wells - Any Detailing Tools?

    I finally got my YoSteve MF's today and I am a little confused. The tag indicates they are 80/20 but the search I did on the board here says that 70/30 are better. I do have a sample of a 70/30 MF towels that a company in Korea sent me as a sample and it does seem even better than Steve's. If...

    Triumph TR6 by Knox Details

    I am sure I am no different than the rest of you in that my neighbors think I am nuts. Well I am in Canada and it hasn't warmed up enough to detail the exterior yet so I was cleaning the inside of my wife F150. I was cleaning the glass with Stoners when my neighbor pulled up in his Mustang...

    PC 7336 at Home Depot vs Lowes

    Does any one know if the 7336 at Home Depot is the same as the 7336 at Lowes. I am in Canada and my wife is currently in Dallas and I sent her on a "mission" to get a PC. The Lowes is apparently sold out so she is going to check Home Depot Friday.Hoping so as she should get 10% off the $109...

    2010 GMC Sierra Z71

    I usually detail by hand but am considering a Porter Cable. I have some MF's on order from YoSteve. What stages do you guys generally use them for? The obvious one is buffing off wax and drying but do you use them for washing, paint cleaning and glazing as well or should I just stick to my...
