Can anyone tell me what is a good long lasting trim protectant. I currently use Stoners Trim Shine and really like it the way it brings the trim back to life and gives it a nice new shine look without being greasy looking but after 1 rain storm it is gone or is streaky looking on some spots. Is...

I have a Honda 400EX that has some deep scatches on the fenders. My question is can atv plastic be buffed out with polish like paint can? I want to sand down the fendes, then wet sand them and then bring the shine back to the plastic. I already have DACP and SFP that i use for my vehicles, so...

Has anyone used the NXT Spray Booster Wax wet, like after you washed you car right before drying? On the back of the bottle it says that it can be used wet like the EO Wax-as-u-dry so I am wondering how it performed compared to the EO product. Was it difficult to use wet or steaked? I keep...

I have read on here that I can use a spray bottle of Isopryol(spelling?) Alcohol diluted 50/50 to remove old wax from the paint. I would like to use this method because i think it would be a faster way to clean the paint of old wax etc. before polishing, but I would also like to use the same...

I found this 2000 Integra GS for sale that seems to be a great deal. The market value for it is $10,900 and the guy is selling it for $6, 650. It has a REPO Title. It sounds like it is in excellent condition by the description(haven't seen it yet), so my question is, is it ok to buy a car with a...

I have been told that it is best to remove the old wax/sealent before using a SMR to takle swirls. Instead of using a Paint Cleaner with my PC, I want something like Griots Paint Prep that i can just easily spray on and wipe off to remove the old stuff in minutes. At $15 dollars a bottle for the...

I am gonna try to start up a Side Detailing Business on the weekends this summer just for some extra money and because I like doing it. Hopefully I will be able to work myself up to about one customer a weekend, but this is more for fun and some extra cash then it is a full time business. My...

If I were to use a polish like Meguiars SFP or Merenza FP to remove some swirl marks, is it necessary to remove the old wax and clean the paint before you use the Polish? Would the Polish be less effective at removing the swirl marks if the paint had old wax on it still and was not cleaned...

1) Does ColorX have any abrasives in it or is it just a chemical cleaner like AIO? If it does, how abrasive are they? 2)Can ColorX be used on newer cars paint or is it geared toward older neglected finishes. 3) Is ColorX/NXT supposed to be Meguiars answer to the popular AIO/SG? Thanks...

I have a few questions about some Meguiars products that i really could not find answers to doing a search. 1)Does Swirl Free Polish have and fillers in it or is it a pure abrasive polish like Menzerna FP? If I apply a cleaner like AIO to put a sealant on will it remove the fillers making...

I am planning on doing some detailing on weekends as a second job for extra cash this summer. I have done my car many times and other family members cars before, but never have really done detailing as a job for customers. My plan was to do detailing out of my garage and making up a list of...

I have never really detailed a car with single stage paint yet and plan to in a few weeks so my question is, Can you take the same approach(Polishing) to detailing the paint of a single stage as you would with a clear coat? For example, I plan to DACP/#82/NXT my clear coat truck this spring and...

I just recieved my order of PC pads from TOL and i got one of the LC Orange pads in my order to try out. After reading many threads here about pads, it was said that the main difference between the abrasiveness of a Finish pad and a Yellow cutting pad is the yellow pads foam are more stiff then...

Are the 7.5" pads from TOL safe to use on a PC with the 6" Backing Plate and 6" Counter Weight? After doing a search, it seems that alot of people mention how important it is to match the BP and CW with the Pad and that if you don't the bearings inside the PC will be damaged and you get to much...

I have a Black 2001 Mustang GT and have used Zaino before and liked its results, but want to know if it is really worth the high cost of it to buy it again. I just became a member here so I could here from some experienced detailers if Zaino is really worth it or can I get the same results from...
