    Anyone have more than 3 coats of Blackfire protectant?

    I currently have 3 coats of Blackfire protectant and I'm very happy. I'm thinking about putting 2 more coats when I come back from vacation. Does anyone else have more than 3 coats of BF protectant? If so, did it make any difference?

    Photos from the Kohler International Concours

    I'm running out of the Mother's QD that came with the Mother's Clay Kit. I read somewhere that the Mother's QD and Final Inspection does not contain carnuba. Would it be alright to use Final Inspection as the clay lubricant with the Mother's Clay Bar?

    I read a lot of the archives about using Armor All. All I was able to gather that it's a terrible product and is only good on the wheel wells. I already knew it's a terrible product, besides the wheel wells, is there any place on the car (or home) that I can use Armor All? Reason I ask is...
