I have a gray 98 Ranger. I have a PC, DACP, AIO, #9, #26, FD and S100. I've tried it all on the truck. worked all the products until you almost can't see them or a fine powder residue. I have the TOL screw on pads, I've used all the products with the PC on 5 the majority of the time. The...

good friend of the family is going to be in town for visits. She knows I detail cars and she wants me to do her F150. It's a black 4x4 reg cab long bed. She's never waxed and it has been washed but only a few times her and there at the automatic, no brush though. I'm not so much concerned...

Tonight I had the chance to try out my DACP and Stratch X. My old man's bike had some serious swirls in the gas tank and on the fenders. The swirls were like the cobweb effect they were so bad but nothing DACP couldn't handle. I had to make 2 passes of DACP with my PC on 5 and the swirls were...

Spring and Summer are gone unfortunately, I will miss them as I"m sure I"m not alone when I say this. Winter is hard on our vehicles, they take a pretty harsh beating with the salt in the road and therefore in order to keep our vehicles looking good when the spring sun hits it, we must keep...

I have tendency to apply too much product to my pads, which causes waste of product and working my right arm too much. I've always applied product in a thin circle around the outer edge of the pad. I do about a 3x3 area, work that in for couple minutes, apply more product and go to the other...

I figured I'd go ahead and give this a shot because since I hear alot of :up :bow :bow about it. My truck does have some imperfections but there not severe. Ranger does have some swirls, and light oxidation so I'd figure what the hell;) This is my plan Dawn no need to clay - did it...

I've learned you spread the product with the PC off. Why is this so?? What harm will it do if you do spread the product with the machine on??? Last time i used it to AIO my Ranger, it was kind of a PITA to spread the product, especially on doors and the flareside bed. Any info I"m open...

I did it up on the Ranger today. I washed with P21S TAW, Clay Magic with Platinum Spray for lube, then Klasse AIO. The truck was smooth as ice, not glass, ice!! LOL Pics soon. I don't like the way it smells, chemically like, not super solvent smell like but just a chemical like smell to...

Very glossy product, sprays everywhere, but once let allowed to sit a couple minutes then wiped down leaves a nice black rich finish. I don't like the odor and make sure you have plenty of ventialation because the odor is strong. You can buy it at local auto part stores for about $4.99. I...

I have a 32oz thing of EF Engine Degreaser and P21S Total Auto Wash. Both I"m not happy with using, leave behind a very oily greasy residue, but yet, they do a great job of cleaning up. My my main problem is I don't know how to use them correctly. Does either or of the products need to be...

Today my buddy and I went at it on his car, 1998 Saturn, dk blue with alloy rims. Cool little car. I ordered some pads from TOL, the screw on type, not velcro for reasons & Clay Magic. I showed my buddy some cleaning basics, using a clay bar, wash techniques, and waxing techniques. I...

Buddy of mine has a mid 80's Dodge Ramcharger. It's a full size sport ute he's working on to make a street truck. He recently did some paint cleaning up on it. The truck was completely repainted with a cheap paint job and it was full of orange peel and drips. Couple days ago he wetsanded the...

I've been floating around the idea of debadging my Ranger. It's a grey 98 reg cab flareside 4x2. I think it would give it a more custom look. Any opnions or thoughts??? 91

Has anyone ever tried this before???? I need to get some wax on my Ranger before old man winter sets in and want to do it right. I'm on a tight budget and Autozone is 3 mins away from me. I know I would probably get better results with like Medallion Paint Cleaner or something but I need the...

MY last attempt at detailing my engine was not a very good one. Seemed like it took forever for the engine to cool down, I faded out my air cleaner intake tube but that's about it. I want to make my engine look sharp this time. It's been several months since I last did it and I would like to...

Hey all, Is there a good product out there that will last a while on motorcycle exhaust systems???? I was thinking something like #20, Zaino, Pro Profection, or PolymerII. What do yout guys think??? thanks a mill,,,,,,,,91

I know I know you guys are getting sick of me and my 1z posts, :p j/k Anyway, I know it's important to use a good polish before you wax to help a flawless finish, i.e, a good polish with very minor "polishing" agents in it. Both polishes have carnuba but Express has more in it, I saw that...
