Sams has sold this product off and on over the last year or so at $6.49 for two half gallon containers. It is great stuff and I still have a couple containers left. Last week when I was in, they were closing them out for $2. I now have enough car wash for 2-3 years but I couldn't pass it...

I just found a two pack of 64oz bottles at Sam's for 9.95. I've heard this product line is pretty decent so I thought I'd give it a try. It turns out, that this feels, smells and works almost exactly like the Zymol auto wash that I bought at big lots in a gallon jug about a year or so ago...

I can't believe what I just saw. Souveran for $39.95 and NO shipping charges. Too good to pass up. Ordered 2 jars. This is the lowest price I've seen in a while.

Now that 1Z polishes have become a little harder to come by, I went searching on the web to see who still has it. I ran across a couple of web sites and both of them have the 1 liter cans of the Metallic polish (red can) on sale. One of them was only $10! All of the other 1Z polishes were at...

I normally apply AIO by hand with a microfiber applicator since it is pretty fast. However, I had my PC 7428 out to remove a few scratches on the hood (using FI-II) and decided to try AIO using a polishing pad. Since AIO is pretty thin, you can't put too much at a time on the pad or else the...

I thought I had tried just about every high-end product out there. Now my buddy with his NSX tells me that the "hot ticket" for car care products out there on their web site are made by a detailing outfit in NY called Detailing Dynamics. Their web site (www.detailingdynamics.com) describes a...

I had a jar of S100 sitting in my fridge for several months and just got it out last week. I've been using this for years but I always remember it being a white color. This jar has a distinctive yellow color to it. Has the formula changed? Did the months in the fridge affect the color? It...

I've never seen these at Sam's before but they had a 20-pack of 70/30 microfiber towels for $10. They were 14"x14" and came in blue and white. They seem fairly soft and very clingy. While they may not be as thick as some of the premium towels I've gotten from Pakshak or YoSteve, they're...

Following the purchase of my new 530i in June, I put base on AIO, followed by 4 coats of SG and monthly coats of s-100. Yesterday, I had a bird dump its load on the roof. It was only on for about an hour. Once it was cleaned off, I can see it had etched into the clearcoat already and required...

I've seen this polisher on CMA's website and have read their own review on it, which was for the most part pretty positive. It's an 11 amp variable speed unit with a lot of nice features and a two year warranty. While I don't expect it to compare favorably with the Dewalt 849 or Porter Cable...

I was looking at Top of the Line's web site and noticed they are now carrying several new products including P21S wax and Klasse. Also couldn't help notice that the picture that was attached to the P21S was actually a picture of S100. Since they priced the wax at the P21S (higher) price, I...

While driving in Tulsa today I happened to see a small auto paint supply store. Thinking that they might have some detailing supplies, I found that they not only had virtually every product available for paint made by Meguiars and 3M, the pricing was about 25% below that normally found on the...

A brief run to Pep boys found a car care close out section that included "Gliptone Paste Wax" . Anyone ever tried this? Had a great smell to it and claimed to be "the world's best wax". Sure. For only $5, is it worth a try? Thanks.

Has anyone heard whether CMA will offer a holiday discount to Autopians this year. I noticed they have several holiday special items on certain items but in the past, they have offered 10% discounts to all Autopians. I have several things in mind and want to get my shopping done early for a...

For those interested, they are back at it with updates from their preliminary findings. Unfortunately, because of all the backlash they received from their initial results, you have to get through all the disclaimers to get to the updated results. Not much change though and they don't have any...

I got my first chance yesterday to try my new Pinnacle kit. The bodywork shampoo was disappointing. Having used gold class for the last year, I was used to lots of suds. I used about 1 oz of the PBS in a 5-gallon bucket and activitated the suds with the hose. By the time I was half way done...

There was a detailing shop I ran across yesterday that was selling "Granitize" brand detailing products. Although I have never heard of them, apparently, they have been around since 1930. They are based in California. Anyone ever use their products and have opinions on them?

The thread about Collinite waxes linked to a website for a Collinite distributor called DCCarcare.com. I had a section for car care tips and one of them was to use Ivory soap to wash your car. Basically, their assumption was that all car wash soaps slowly stripped waxes over time and that...
