I have ordered my PC from Costal Tools, which should arrive in the UK within the next few days, my questions is regarding the backing plate, is the one supplied with the PC ok to use with CMA pads or do I need the CMA plate as well. Also, does anyone have the part number for 3M SMR, as I...

Somebody on another forum has posted a question about how to clean a dirty overflow bottle. I remember trying to do this a few years ago, with no luck at all. Any suggestions on what kind of products and techniques should be used? Steven

I have found a site http://www.amazingglaze.co.uk/index2.phtml which sounds to good to be true, but has recommendations for various airlines from around the world. Anybody know anything about it? Steven

Agghhhhhhhhhh :( I went to get my tube of Gummi (for another post) and in the box where I keep my clean MF towels, a bottle of engine oil had been put upside down, and has soaked all my towels. They are currently in the washing machine. I hope I can get all the oil out. Is there a test to...

For the first time this winter I was caught a few days ago without any deicer and a frozen windscreen. It took some time to clear the glass, so my question is, is there any product that can reduce the amount of frozen ice on my glass (Rain-X?) The car is outside 24/7 and in this part of the...

I have been using Gummi Phledge, for a while now with great results. My questions is, can a dressing be used on top of Gummi Phledge and is it worth using on engine coolant tubes or elsewhere? Steven

Out of interest, what kind of stuff do you guys have for an emergency, ie First Aid box, or neutralising chemicals? Steven

Today I cleaned the car, but as it got darker, the streetlights came on. By this time I had put a layer of Autoglym Super Resin on most of the panels and was experimenting with P21S GEPC. Looking at the paint under false (street) lights, the P21S was darkening the colour of the (black) car...

Is this product a gel or liquid. The reason for the question is that I am trying to find the similar product in the UK where they are named by different names ie P21S is the wheel cleaner, S100 is for motorbikes and windscreen products are CW1:100 The other product I want to know about is...

I recently read on another forum that someone recommended using toothpaste to clean a smeared windscreen. This sounds crazy, but also crazy enough to work. Anyone any thoughts? Steven

I applied OG Glaze a few weeks ago and topped with Blitz twice (7 day gap), my question is, how long will the Glaze last before I need to reapply? Steven

Car: Black 1994 Alfa Romeo 164 Last week I purchased some OG Glaze together with some Blitz, to see how it compares with using Autoglym Super Resin topped with Blitz. The car was washed with dish washing liquid, clayed and washed again with P21S. The bonnet and boot were split into 3...

I spent the day cleaning my farthers car today, as he has a digi cam, I took some pictures of my car. It has been just under a week since I last cleaned, but I think it does not look that bad. The first picture is the reflection of the wing on an open door.

I have just replaced a side panel on my car with a second hand one, it had a lot of tar marks which I removed with tar remover. The problem is that I now have black marks on the paint. I tried even more tar remover and WD40, the marks cannot be felt and clay failed to do anything. I have...

Which is better squeaky clean or slick clean? I have been trying out some different glass cleaners. The best results have been with Comma glass clean and Autoglym glass polish. As far as I can tell both clean to the same degree, the biggest difference is the Comma gives a squeaky sound when...

The PC has a speed of between 2500 to 6000 OPM. As I cannot get the UK retailer to give me a real price of a PC, I am forced to look elsewhere. What I have found is a range of random orbital buffers which have OPM speeds of between 6000 and 14000. Is this speed to high, is it dangerous to...

For polishing out swirls etc by hand, which foam pads (or other products) do people recommend? Steven Alfa 164
