I decided to finally clean the engine on my 98 MB C230 last Sunday. I mixed some greased lightning degreaser about 50/50 with water...sprayed down the eng and lightly agitataed with a soft paint brush. Let sit about 10 minutes and sprayed with cool water....light misting of 303 and after 5 mins...

Finally got a half decent day up here in New England yesterday..grabbed my cartons of stuff and went to the driveway. Did a wash on the black Benz with a sample of Pinnacle soap..(Thanks, Tom P)..nice product..but not as nice as I was hoping for..by the way Tom..I got some NXT soap for us to...

Anyone have some 1Z Glanz Wax they would like to trade?? I've got an odd assortment of products mostly just opened with little use. I'm wanting to try 1Z but can't find locally in the Boston area.

I, too, was one of those "whackos" yesterday..9am..31 degrees, and I was out detailing..in the wind...I must be nuts. Anyway, I was working on a section of the black Benz..a little dull..a little gray looking..pulled out the DACP with the PC and yellow pad..didn't really touch it. I'm afraid to...

I was at a local auto parts store Sat am..picked up the new improved Eagle One polish-wax liquid. I have a black mercedes and really didn't want to drag everything out and "go to town". Applied this stuff with PC and yellow pad..immediately darkened the paint and the little swirlies disappeared...

I received my bottle of the new improved LS yesterday. Stayed after work, pulled the black Benz into an empty bay, and pulled out the PC. I had gone over the car on Sunday with a non-silicone, non-wax based machine glaze, so she was ready. The new LS was applied using a beige foam finishing pad...

I'm hoping someone can tell me where I can get these at a great price. I've read lots of good comments about them and want to give them a try...just not at $55.00.

I think I may be onto something..bought a bottle of the Zymol detail spray...didn't care for it on my paint...left it sitting for over a month. The other night I was cleaning my interior...black..reached for a bottle in my case and pulled out the Zymol..by accident...looked at it and...

I've been doing a little searching here and it seems that no one out there is really in love with the new Liquid Souverän "wax". I'm kinda curious as to why. I was thinking that since it's really not a wax, why not use it over AIO..kinda like using UPP over AIO. Anyone tried this...

I've been in "mad waxer" mode for a few weeks now...you know..can't wait to get home from work..get changed, grab my stuff....and it's RAINING!!! ARRGGHH Put a coat of Collinite paste fleetwax on the black Benz Friday night. It beads like crazy, but noticed that it's attracting dirt...more than...

I've buffed out the black Benz with PI III, then SEC, then AIO and 2X UPP. Great shine, but lacking depth and clarity. Found some Gliptone pure carnauba hard wax yesterday. Got home, QD the trunk...VM lightly, remove.. then a thin coat of the Gliptone...buff with MF. SHHHEEEESH!!! Deep...

Which of the Collinite waxes do Autopians recommend for use over 1 coat of AIO and 2 coats of UPP...black vehicle? I have a local marine parts store that sells Collinite, but wasn't sure which one people like on black.

Finally got to use my brandy new AIO Monday night on the black Benz. I read on an earlier thread here, that people use a white pad to apply AIO. If the surface is already smooth and clean...PI III...do I still need a white pad?? Seems a little awkward to apply with a white pad. Do I work it into...

Went to Walmart last week looking for A2Z wheel cleaner...haven't been able to find it anywhere..everyone's out of stock...saw 2001 foaming wheel cleaner....green bottle...cheap.. $2.44 for the large bottle...safe for all wheels. Tried it out Sunday morning...works pretty good..needs a little...

Does anyone here apply UPP with the PC?...if so, what pad do you use? I was preoccupied on Saturday, and after I used my AIO for the first time, I was talking to my neighbor while I applied UPP ...and put it on a little too thick!...what a bear to remove...my own fault..I normally put it on in...

How about a detailing event in New England?? Seems as though there are more than a few of us..What about about somewhere in the middle of Mass...this way folks from Conn, RI and Mass could join in? I'd love to find a shop or car wash that would let us spend a morning trying products and...

Went to a local jobber today looking for pads for the PC. Bought a yellow Schlegel 7.5" ....med cut pad. Has anyone tried these? Is this OK for use with DACP?

I've been playing with my new PC for the last few days. Orderd AIO yesterday. What pads do people like with AIO? I have white, beige, black and 1 green pad.

Got a chance to try out my new PC last night on the black Benz. Used SMR (dark) alcohol and water then UPC and UPP. Nice and smooth but this morning, I see a little cloudiness underneath..not bad, but not right. I worked the SMR until it began drying and dusting. Wiped w/ MF and al/water. Any...

Went into Lowes last night to buy a PC...$109. The 7336 comes with the white pad with an integral mounting stud. The sanding disc included with the 7336 is the flat smooth surfaced pad for self adhesived sanding discs....not a velcro backed pad. So, I went to a nearby Woodworker's Supply store...
