    I've come to a conclusion with S100...LONG

    OK, so I've been having problems with S100 (see this thread ). At the help of this great community we have eliminated the chance of it being a bad jar of S100. And we think that the QD I am using (Meguiars Final Inspection) might be the culprit of why the S100 is failing in such a short...

    I think I've given up on S100...

    I love the way this stuff goes on and off, and the look it gives off...but for some reason I have NO durabililty with it...3-5 days max...what gives? I have used #26 and that has last 3 months. Gold Class a long time ago that lasted longer. IBIZ that lasted longer "Z Best Wax" that...

    Anyone dealt with purecaraudio.com before?

    I found the head unit I want for $419.00 at Purecaraudio but am skeptical about buying a head unit online. This particular head unit is $599.00 through Crutchfield, and a local stereo place, so I can't beat the price. Has anyone dealt with buying a head unit, or any stereo equipment...

    Time to rebuild stereo system...

    It's not going to be to the extreme that my old system was, but I plan on spending about 2 thousand on it...I plan on getting a real good head unit again, an amp and some subs...nothing close to what I had, but enough to enjoy some music. Any suggestions on head units, subs, amps?

    Thank You Scottwax....S100 + VM=One clean Aurora!

    I'm thanking him for recommending Vanilla Moose topped with S100...the results are stunning, as he said. I got my shipment of Vanilla Moose yesterday, and went at it today. Dawn washed the car, clayed the top panels of the vehicle, then went to work with the VM + S100. I'm quite pleased...

    S100 durability issues...

    Ok, here's the problem. About 2 weeks ago I went to the local Harley dealership and picked up some S100. Got home and washed the car (Dawn), then proceeded to clay it (Mothers Clay Bar), then rewashed (Meg's Gold Class). Brought the car in the garage, with PC in hand applied some 3M FI-II...

    Got the paint off!

    I had a Grand Am to do today that had some paint stuck to the carpet, the paint they use to do the yellow lines on the road. All of the paint came off surprisingly easy. I used a 25:75 solution of Simple Green and water (25-Simple Green:75-water). Sprayed it on, let it set for about 2...

    First time using 3M Perfect It II...**PICS**

    I'm fairly impressed with this stuff. First time I have ever used it, had a few light scratches, and a spot where there was some marring on my Aurora. The 3M and the PC on 6 took them out easily. Here are some shots of the car after it was totally detailed. Used the 3M, #7, and #26.

    Acrylic Pinstripes on car...how not to screw it up?

    Here in the next week or two I have a 2002 BMW Z3 to detail. Problem I am going to encounter is that they just had the vehicle pinstriped a month ago, not a vinyl type of pinstriping, but one that is painted on. I believe it is an acrylic type paint. My question is, what can use on this paint...
