Just as the title reads I was over on AG reading on their forums and someone mentioned that collinite 845 Insulator wax "is not intended for darker colored clear coat finishes (not sure why)." Is there any truth to this statement?

Well Ive been tinkering with detailing for quite a while now and plan on buying a makita 9227C. I plan on working on my dads 1985 toyota van to practice on since its just used for going back and fourth to my grandfathers house, grocery getting etc.. I was wondering what sized pads do you...

Say if you wanted to get more cut using a UDM would using a yellow CCS pad with some SIP work well? Or would the yellow pad be too abrasive and marr the paint too much? thanks for your opinions!

Well a member from clubrsx.com contacted me about some much NEEDED love for his night hawk black pearl rsx-s (black with a blue flake). So sure enough i made the 2 hour drive up to his place and did a full on interior/exterior detail. The car was a 2002 model year and had about 86-87k daily...

Now this was definitely an extensive detail! The owner from clubrsx.com (Silver DC5 TypeS) dropped the car off overnight and upon arrival the car was somewhat clean but it still had its fair share of swirl marks due to it never being polished in its entire 6 years. The owner contacted me prior...

Well I just got my PO85RD and SIP in the mail not just 5 minutes ago. After opening the package I noticed that the SIP bottle looks exactly like my bottle of IP with the exception of a yellow "Super" sticker on it. Please tell me this isnt just relablled IP, theres an almost 25$ price difference!

Hey there I was just wondering, Ive got some PO85rd coming in next week and I was reading on AG's website and it says they prefer to use the gray pad. I was planning on using SIP with an orange LC pad and finishing with PO85rd with a white pad. I thought gray pads were for applying sealants...

Ever since I saw the first Atlantic blue Z3 in the James Bond movie Ive always had a soft spot for these cars. The lines of the body seem very classic to me. This car was DEFINITELY a daily driver with some battle scars to prove it (worn out headrest, deadpedal, armrest etc.) The process took...

Just as the title reads my uncle recently gave me his line up of Zaino polishes just because he does not use them anymore. They have been sitting around for about 4-5 years. I believe I have the car wash shampoo, Z2, Z5, a claybar (still brand new but not sure if it was z18 though) and a quick...

just as the title reads, how do you guys clean headliners? Specifically the cotton ones that tend to form cotton balls when rubbed? Do you guys use brushes? type of cleaning solution used?

Just as the title states, which do guys prefer? Im about to switch to a different lineup and was wondering what would be a better mate with SIP. It seems that PO106ff is the standard around here, but with the new appearance of PO85RD it could be the new up and comer. Any input would be appreciated.

Hey there everyone well Im about to attack some hazed headlights over the weekend and from past experiences I have just used some compound and my UDM w/orange pad to clear things up. This time around Im looking to do some wet sanding with 1500grit sandpaper. The hazing isnt as bad but it could...

Well it looks like UPS is going to be picking up my warrantied UDM machine tommorow. David said theyd be issuing a call tag number and I was wondering if I have to still put the address on the box?? Does anyone even have the address to which this package is going to?

Well upon its SECOND use, I was detailing a friends car and while first applying some polish my UDM crapped out on me within 5 minutes of first turning it on. I first started noticing symptoms as if the UDM were powered by weak batteries. It would seem that at some points the motor sounded like...

Hey there everyone, Id like to ask if anyone has used Meguiars#4 heavy Cut compound? Im planning on working on a 03 Nissan Sentra SER SpecV that has about 64,000miles with BAD PAINT. WHen you run your fingers across the surface of the paint it mimics the sound of sandpaper on a chalkboard (a...

Just as the title reads, Im about to do a car that has oxidized paint. Its nothing too crazy but the back bumper of the car is light/oxidized red (almost pink) and if you run your hands through it, IT IS VERY gritty and rough. The car is an 03 Sentra SER Spec V and it appears to have single...

Hey there, I thought Id share some pics of my extensive detail this past weekend. Shes my daily driver and has about 65,000 miles and was purchased brand new back in 2002. She was only clean for about 20 minutes before the SoCal fires ash came pouring in :(. A few hours after I was notified...

Well it looks like its that time again to purchase a new quick detailer. So far Ive been impressed with the Meguires line but thought Id try something different with better shine and protection. Ive been looking at the Wolfgang instant detail sprtiz and Menzerna Final inspection, Im still...

Hey there everyone, Ive got a 2002 Carbon Blue celica (pretty much black but with a blue flake) and was thinking about picking up some Menzerna Finishing Glaze. My car is a daily driver with 65,000 miles and I already have some Menzerna Final polish and intensive polish (along with WG sealant...

Hey there again everyone! Ive got a paintball gun that I treasure dearly and its finish is that it just has been polished. Its made out of aluminum and has been polished to a near chrome like appearance. I was wondering if It would be safe to apply menzerna intensive polish, micropolish...
