    sun-friendly OTC cleaner wax?

    I'm looking for a sun-friendly otc wax that needs to be bought last-minute for a friend's carwash fundraiser. I was originally going to give him natty's paste wax but then I had second thoughts about that, since the cars washed at such events usually require some kind of paint-cleaning. A...

    OCW pre-review

    I don't have a solid opinion on it yet, but so far it looks very promising. If you don't know about it already, it is a sealant wax that works just like a QD; spray, wipe on, wipe off. I took a leap of faith and ordered a gallon from top of the line. The method of application isn't as wild as...

    OCW pre-review

    Since I brought up having used Optimum Car wax in another thread I might as well elaborate a little bit more about it. I had mentioned that I didn't have a solid opinion on it yet, but so far it looks very promising. If you don't know about it already, it is a sealant wax that works just...

    experience w/ kleen car auto appearance?

    Has anyone had any experience with purchasing from http://www.car-detailing-store.com ? They are selling optimum car wax by the gallon for $29.95, which is just a little more than the price of two 17oz spray bottles. Another thing that's got my suspicion perked is this statement: "We sell...

    anyone try paste glaz on black?

    Someone MUST have tried putting pinnacle paste glaz on black or dark colors. If so, what was your experience with how it looked? Compared to souveran side by side? p21s/s100? Since it's made for lighter colors I'm guessing it would reflect more, so would the look be more similar to that...

    I was wondering what the differences are between SFX-3 and the sonus paint cleanser? They both seem to function as pre-wax polishes. Is there any benefit to follow sfx3 with the paint cleanser?

    VM saved unreadable DVD!

    I had a data dvd that was severely abused. At some parts of the disc it looked like someone scuffed sandpaper on it. The dvd began reading at 1x read speed, which quickly dropped to 0.1X, transferring about 100kb/s for about 10 minutes. After that, it just gave up altogether and wouldn't read...

    glanz wax in plastic container?

    I have a question i would like to direct towards glanz wax users. I read that the tin is cumbersome to use, and that many people have prefered to put it into a spray bottle for dispensing. To those who have done this, have you noticed any deterioration of the plastic from the solvents in the...

    QEW in QD?

    Anyone ever thought of putting in some QEW concentrate into their QD to get a bit more lubrication? One ounce QEW into one gallon of QD would be the appropriate ratio, but that's a lot of QD gone to waste if it starts streaking badly... I'm hoping there is some component of the QD that might...

    watery megs #81??

    I just ordered a 32 oz bottle of megs #81 hand polish and I am very surprised by its consistency. Even after shaking and shaking, it is completely liquid. It literally pours out of the bottle like water.. Except it's oil that's really hard to wash off my hands. Is this normal?! I've never...
