Let me start off by saying I have a set of cast aluminum Axis wheels with a pretty deep lip. I used Aircraft stripper to remove the clear from them over a year ago and now it is time to polish them up again. The last time I polished them I only used a Powerball and Mag & Aluminum polish. It...

I spent some time detailing my Z a few months ago with the PC and Poorboy's SSR2.5, SSR1, the Klasse twins and Natty's Blue and it looked wonderful. Spending too much time lurking on Autopia gave me the itch to do more detailing and get a better look on my Z though so I ordered up Blackfire...

What is it, where can I get it, and do I need it? :ignore I'm currently using Poorboy's SSR line to polish, and Klasse AIO and SG, with Natty's Blue. It looks awesome on my black 350z, but I want it deeper and more wet. So I purchased some Souveran, Optimum Polish, and a few other goodies...

Foam vs MF I've always used foam ones for my tire dressing and microfiber ones for applying sealants and waxes. I've read a few things mentioning the ease of applying sealants with foam pads and I was wondering which pads everyone was using and what they were using them for.

So it all started when I bought my Axis Milano wheels. There was about a quarter size spot of clear coat missing which developed into a huge spot, then multiple spots, then spots on multiple wheels, etc. They were getting black spots on them that could not be removed and looked horrible...

Hey all, I have a set of 19" Axis wheels that have gotten some bad chips in the clear coat and lots of imperfections in the lip of the wheel. The spokes are fine, so I've set out to refinish the lips. I took them off and scrubbed them clean with Simple Green and my plan was to wetsand with 320...

Next week I will be detailing my girlfriend's Dad's new Go Man-Go Orange Dodge Charger R/T Daytona. If you guys aren't familiar with this car, it has the Daytona package, which means it gets some awesome vinyls on the hood, trunk, and rear fenders. Since I have never dealt with graphics like...

Had 4 bottles of Stoner's Invisible Glass at Sam's for $9.77 when I went yesterday. I also got two 6-quart boxes of Mobil 1 synthetic for $23 apiece :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs

I'm looking at buying a Porter Cable from AutoGeek.net sometime this week, but I have no clue where to start! I was going to start with this: http://www.autogeek.net/hk7424.html but I didn't know if I should invest in any more pads or if I needed any more materials for my first Porter Cable...
