    Meguiars Endurance doesn't endure - other options??

    Meguiars Endurance seems to get good feeback here but I sure haven't had any luck with it. I can't even get it to last more then a week (or my next washing) before the black is all faded out. I don't want shine/gloss but I would like a product that makes tires look flat or satin black for a...

    Griot's Garage Products

    What's the forum's overall summary of Griot's Garage products. I keep getting their catalogs. I get the impression their products are generally good but rarely "best of class" and tend to be overpriced. Does this sum it up at least for their liquid detailing products vs. tools and misc...

    Need Soap for Foam Gun - Off the shelf suggestions??

    I have the equivalent of a Gilmour hose end foam gun and am looking for an off the shelf car wash concentrate to use with it. Any suggestions on products that would likely be available locally and produce a good foamy lather??

    Is Zaino AIO + Z5>>KAIO + Poorboys Ex??

    My mainstays have been Klasse AIO and Poorboys Ex which I've been fairly happy with but the jugs are almost used up. I'm thinking of switching to the Zaino twins (ZAIO + Z5). Would they deliver better results on dark vehicles? (black + stealth gray metallic) Should I consider anything...

    Toweling Technique

    I've settled on #9, AIO, and 2 coats of EX and am extremely happy with the results. I bought a half dozen MF towels and foam applicators and have a couple questions: 1. I use a dedicated foam pad for each product, but can the same toweling be used from start to finish. (or at least from...

    #9+AIO+2X-EX=2 thumbs up!!

    This weekend I detailed my black GTP and my 2 tone Dodge Ram PU. I used #9 on the entire GTP since it's black and about 1/4 of the RAM. After that I used AIO and 2 coats of Poorboys EX. (I used MF toweling) The results on both vehicle was unbelievable!!! The GTP is 6 yrs old and is over...

    What's more aggressive than #9? (remove swirls by hand)

    I've had good (but not great) results using Meguiars #9 swirl remover. I'm curious what's the next notch more aggressive on swirls that can still be used by hand. I have a bottle of 3M Rubbing Compound that claims it's clear coat safe and will remove 1500 and above sanding patterns. I also...

    Klasse AIO + SG or AIO + PUPP??

    Based on previous posts, I think I'm going to use Klasse AIO. I'm still debating whether to choose SG or PUPP or something else as the final coat. Is there a combination that works better for black (ie hiding minor swirls). I've already used #9 with pretty good results. Is AIO, + SG or...

    Car wax = dust/lint magnet, what repels dust??

    Regardless of the brand of polish or car wax I use, it seems that the process creates some form of surface charge that attracts lint and dust. Just one trip down my gravel road negates all the work I've done. I realize that a black car and gravel road aren't the best combination, but is...
