Wednesday, I washed and waxed my car. After a discussion on Castrol Accuvision, their RainX type product, I decided to use the method that someone mention here to apply RainX. That it, glop the crap out of it, and then wash your car. Worked great. :up And man, I forgot how much nicer RainX is...

Reviving a request of mine from a disappeared thread. I'm about to, literally in about 30 minutes, go get a pack of these and the four wool mitts at Costco. They'll either be the nicest shop rags I've ever had, or some nice MF in a pretty color. So, who, with their own eyes, has seen a...

Besides Tropicare's $10 kit that has 4 oz of polish, what others are out there. I remember being tempted by one a few months ago, but not getting it. Now I'm in the mood to play around with new stuff, but I don't see anyone offering any mini-sampler kits. Wrong season for nearly freebies?

Well, I finally bought my first gallon of QD rather than 16oz-ing it forever. I bought the Final Detail that, though it is #51, doesn't actually say that on the jug. It's pink in color and has a pleasant smell which, frankly, smells like a bathroom air freshener. That's not what I'm...

I may not be the master searcher, so if someone can already find a discussion on the differences between Meguiars #20 "Mirror Glaze" their polymer sealant, and NXT their OTC syntetic cleaner wax, I'd gladly just read that. But that said, while I'm probably either going to pick up some NXT or...

Here's a spare picture of my detailing stuff reflected in my car's hood. Please ignore the wiper arm in need of repainting. So, I'd love to see other people's pictures of their garage reflected off their car. So please post one, I'd hate to start this thread up for this one lil picture:

On my drive to work, I had a very large bird, or perhaps a flock of synchronized poopers, soil the entire front of my car. I'm guessing there was about 4 oz of poop splattered across my hood and windsheild. The windsheild got the wiper washer fluid treatment at 70 mph, just for safety...

:D We rolled past 100,000 on the way back from an infant CPR and car seat class. A few weeks ago with only S100 on it: (That's a black bonk strip on the door, not silver)

Looking at Meguiar's site, I see there is the Final Inspection 34 that I know some people are fond of, and others are not. I also see a product 66, Quick Detailer. Anyone have any insight on these? I would order these from the local O'Reilly's if they didn't already have them in stock...

Title says nearly all. I have a single stage black which has recently stained up about five of my MF. I'm concerned that they are "compromised". My hands can tell a difference, but there has to be something there to make them stained, and I'm not sure I want that rubbing against the car...

Very sorry if this thread has existed recently, I wan't able to find what I was looking for in Search. I'm finally going to be through with the EO which I got sick of quite a while ago. I'm a big sucker for good smell so I'm leaning toward Zymol this time. But everyone seems to like Gold...

I just put up some new lighting in the garage and the two 200w reflector lamps that now illuminate the front of my car are making the front (plastic) nose of my car look hazy. The paint on the metal doesn't look like that, but these lights also bring out the gazillion micro-chips in both...

I know that it has been suggested that to keep from wasting Zaino that you mix it with the ZFX in a syringe. Well, I'd planned on going by a vet supply place and seeing if I could get one, but then this Friday at Wal-Mart (Supercenter) in the sauce and marinade section, there were 1 oz marinade...

Well, after several months of it sitting around and me coasting off the S100, I put just one coat of Zaino on my car before the sun went down today. I got my Black Miata home the fun way (it was 75 degrees today) and then dawn washed it. Dawn smells pretty good compared to most of the car...

Well, it'll be a few weeks before I zaino my black Miata. I'm going to practice my technique on my wife's silver car. But since the black shows micro scratches so well, can I, like, Meguiars #7 it and then Zaino it? Or would you suggest some S100 SEC(P?)?

I never thougth about it, but as I was waxing with S100 for the first time (and very pleased with it, if the sun would just come out) I was QDing immediately after to get rid of any streaks or haze. Did I pre-weaken the wax? I'm not up on the carnuba curing times. Also, those who said...

It's sunny and 55 today after being rainy and 30s forever. My black Miata looks like crap (I drive past a concrete factory on the way to work) and I'll be claying for the first time today. I won't have enough time to wax...so I'll drive it sans wax to work tomorrow. Now, I was thinking...

I love SIG and decided to look up what other products Stoner's had. I found a page ( here: http://el1snako.tripod.com/id78.htm ) talking about Speed Bead Wax. I searched here, and could not find. Now, I'm a big Stoner fan. Why is there no info on this stuff? Even if it sucked I'd think...
