Yes, my HF 1650 psi washer is small and cheap, but I`ve been using it for years and it`s been great for occasional home wash downs and car washing use. I don`t need pro eqpmt. at home. Now I want to buy a foam cannon but can`t find any info on the actual quick-connect fitting size on my PW...

This is a little beyond detailing, but this forum has always come through with expertise. I`m redoing an interior from black to warm tan. I`m using Katzkin leather seat covers and new carpet, but not sure what the product to use on the hard plastic lower dash and door panels is. SEM doesn`t...

I posted a couple days ago about my black Cayenne came with some swirly areas that laughed at my finish polish last year, and got many good suggestions for more aggressive polish this time. I've also heard from guys on a Porsche forum that the clear coat used on Cayennes is not the same as on...

I'm a DIYer. My black Porsche Cayenne has holograms and swirls from past polishing with a rotary by others. I did limited application of Meguiar's Scratch-X on the heavier swirls followed with a full polish with 1Z Paint Polish with Megs yellow pads and 1Z Glanz Wax with Megs white pads. The...

Being a weekender only doing my own cars, I can't afford to experiment on all the pads I see advertised; flat, dimpled, waffle, and hex pattern. Is there really much difference in performance? Are the different pad patterns seriously different with a given grade of polish?

My $90 Harbor Freight power washer has been adequate for home use but I want to replace the very stiff 1/4 hose and the cheap wand/nozzle. The original hose has a female threaded collar securing the fitting at the pump end and a male quick-connect at the wand. Can someone confirm that theses...

This is on a Jeep Wrangler hardtop with three huge polycarbonate panels; two side windows and the liftgate. All are in pretty rough shape after 20 years. As well as oxidation and micro-scratch "fog" on the surfaces, there's some paint overspray from someone touching up the black fiberglass top...

Good wash detergent for use with pressure washer? I have a $90 HF pressure washer with a soap applicator attachment that snaps on the end of the wand. I'd like to use it for washing my cars, but have no idea what car wash product to use or what concentration to put in the applicator container...

After polishing with 1Z Paint Polish on Meg's yellow pad on a DA machine, I started to apply Imperial Hand Glaze before the sealant wax. I applied by it hand using a microfiber pad applicator. Even applied very thinly, this stuff is rock hard instantly and the only way to get it off is to...

I've cleaned and clayed my Cayenne; ready for polish tomorrow. The top plane is mostly above eye level except to NBA players, so I'm wondering if I should skip machine polishing the "flat" portion roof to avoid unnecessary removal of clear coat thickness, and just go straight to glaze and...

My 06 black Cayenne has moderate swirls from a dealer buff-out and general finish dullness/oxidation from age, plus a few light scratches around the handles. I've read that Porsch clear coat is relatively soft so I don't want to be too aggressive. Picking pads & polishes from the dozens out...

My 06 black Porsche Cayenne Turbo is starting to look a little dull from life in the high desert. I live in the boonies so I see my detailer in the mirror and he needs a lot of education.
