My truck was dirty, I mean REALLY dirty. Spent the past two weeks up in NoAZ in the mountains and over 600mi driving on dirt road, mud, and cow pies. So I have her a bath this morning, mostly with the pressure washer just to get the caked on stuff off. No need to clean/polish the surface as she...

Background I have pretty much not used any specific exterior trim product except for my Meg's Natural Shine. But about a year ago I had horrible greying and staining on my Taco running boards, so I called Meg's and asked for their recommendation. They thought Gold Class Trim Detailer was the...

I've been having a wonderful experience applying and removing SSR2.5. After I finished, I started on SSR1. Goes on pretty easy, but I honestly can't tell when it dusts... but it does remove easily. But, I noticed when I run my MF towel over a section that I just did with 1 versus a section only...

My 04 F-150 must have brake pads made of cardboard, becuase the rims are black with dust after only one driving trip. Plus, it's a real pain to get off. They are the stock rims, aluminum w/clear coat. I was hoping something to make the surface of the wheels a little slicker might make cleaning...

Just tried SSR2.5 for the first time today, and the only thing I can say is: HOLY FREAKIN' AWESOME! SSR2.5 has taken some old, dirty, white 94 Civic that looks like it was washed every day with a broom, and brought it back to life. Before I started the paint was actually pee-yellow with...

Is there a good source for VM from the west coast?

This has always been a curiosity of mine, the paint protection packages that dealerships sell. You know the names: AutoButler, ArmorCoat, System 5, etc. When I was in HS, we used to apply ArmorCoat when we prep'ed the new cars. It was a joke. We just sprayed this stuff from a can (no label BTW)...

I'm fixing about 100 chips and will be wetsanding them all down with 2500 and would sure love to skip be rubbing compound. Has anyone tried SSR2.5 to polish out areas wetsanded with 2500?

If I really don't want to spend the extra time to polish out all the micro-fine swirls and filling them is just fine. I'm planning on being lazy in a couple of weeks :-p What PB product would I use?

For those who would like a good guide to using your rotary, I found this nice article on rotary buffing. If you follow the pages along, they have great graphics for position and rotation along seams and panel edges. Just skip the parts about wetsanding. Click here ->How to Buff

I just realized that I forgot to order some SSR1 in my last batch. So, since I don't have any, I thought I may want to try VM instead. I will be removing some medium swirls on my car with SSR2.5. I really want to get the surface smooth so I was planning on following with SSR1, then EX-P and...

Found the following spray bottles at Sam's Club today for $4.62 for four bottles. I have used these for years and they really hold up well. Has gradation marks on the side for mixing dilution solutions.

First, let me get this off my chest... I'm a decades old Absorber user, and my name is Threadhead. God grant me the power to fling that Absorber in the trash. Now I feel better :cool So I get my MF WW towel a few weeks ago (thanks to PAC) and I have used it three times for drying after a wash...

Tried my QD+ this morning for the first time. While I really like the prduct (great shine, easy on/off), the first spray shot overspray all over my black plastic trim on my bumper. I mean, its everywhere. Any advice on removing the QD+ overspray?

I have my 'ole trusty clay bar from Griot's, but am running out of Griot's FastShine (a quick detailer). A new bottle of QD+ is on it's way to me... is QD+ ok to lube the clay?

Two part question: [list=1] Is Stoners Invisible Glass ok for tinted windows? Are microfiber towels ok on tinted windows? [/list=1] I assume the answer to both is no, but I would like to know anyway.

I need another tool like I need a hole in my head, and my wife is probably going to kill me, but the thought of a new PC in my hand is just too tempting. So I've been looking around and it looks like CostalTool is as good as any place to get the 7424. But what I'm confused about is the pads...

Really need some advice on this one. I have a 94 Honda Civic that is badly oxidized. It was left outside for about 1.5 years, exposed to the elements. What I need to do is get the paint looking as best as possible so the owner can sell it. It doesn't have to be perfect after all, it's a 10...
