I thought you guys might enjoy (or cringe and squirm like I did) at this video. Applying a Clear Coat Protector to Protect your Car's Paint from Fading Video

I just moved to Milwaukee and was hoping that someone could refer me to a coin-operated car wash where I can wash my own car. Thanks!

I'm making an order of Meguiar's products soon and need help with some decisions. First issue: When I first started detailing I got some Hi-Temp Light Cut polish and have been happy with it on both PC and Rotary. It is a very THICK product, a quality which I think I like when working with...

Hi, I work at a car dealership and am looking for a QD product to wipe down the cars on our show floor. I would like it to be available in bulk (gallon?) and be available locally. I remember back in the day Meguiar's Final Detail was all the rage, but now I can't find it on their site...

Oh good, because I have a maintainance question. I'm suspicious that my Harbor Freight 11 amp rotary is developing a growl...or maybe I'm just looking for a little project. Either way, I'd like to know how to take the machine apart to lubricate it. I asked my dad and he said "It is...

Basically, I'd like to see if anyone has heard of it before...We use this stuff at work (dealership), and I can't say that it is anything great. It cleans ok, and I suppose make a car shine, but it doesn't leave any remarkable protection or beading that I can tell. Its consistancy is rather...

I had some spare time on my hands... Meguiars Engine Kote MSDS: http://www.meguiars.com/msds/d43.pdf Proprietary Acrylic Emulsion TS 30-60% Conditioners TS 1-5% Water 7732-18-5 40-60% Mop & Glo MSDS...

I found this snippet at this site: http://www.carproductsinc.com/detail/waxes.html I already found out that the product supposedly doesn't have any cleaners. I've yet to prove/disprove that claim. What I found interesting was the Acrylic urethane part. Isn't that what Klasse is...

I'm storing it for the winter, but it was so nice out I brought it out to clean it up. I hadn't gotten a chance to clean it up well before putting it away. On the left side of the car, I tried out Hi-Temp Light-Cut using the PC with a polishing pad. Despite this fun, I decided to call it...

Ok, this isn't really a review. Friday, February 27 I tried out my Harbor Freight rotary with a LC 6.5" polishing pad and Hi-Temp Light Cut on my family's 1986 GMC Jimmy. It is red. Well, pink when oxidized, and orange when polished. It was a so-so experience. I misted the pad with...

I happened to be at Walmart yesterday, and I decided to take a stroll down their car care products isle. I found Color X, but no Tech Wax. I remember that the southern states were going to be supplied first, for obvious reasons, and I assume that is for all new NXT products. I'm wondering...

I picked up a hood from the bodyshop to practice with my new rotary on, so once I feel sufficently educated from that, I think I'll divide the hood into 6 sections and apply a product to each. For this test, I think I'll prep the hood as well as I can since that would be the context in which I...

I recieved my order of pads from TOL a while ago, but my car is away for the winter, so I haven't really gotten a chance to use them much. So in the mean time, I've been polking and prodding the pads, just dreaming about using them. It seems to me that the original Porter Cable pad is more...

I'm going to make an order tomorrow and wanted to check and make sure everything added up. I'm going to get the Chicago Electric Polisher from Harbor Freight and the 6" velcro backing plate from CMA to go with my 6" [Buff & Shine] and 7.5" w/ 6" velcro back [Lake Country MFG.] pads from Top...

I put my car away last weekend. It has been a good season, but I'm sad as always. :( I guess I just gotta wait until spring. Now I have some time to take care of family member's vehicles. My mom and I went out and washed her 2000 Jimmy and decided to give it a coat of wax since it had...

Here are some pictures to begin with...I'm not sure how far I'll get on the outside, but I'm just about done with the inside...I'll be back with pictures later. These are before shots. finished later Kev

I was going to post this in Scottwax's thread with his Honda and 2001civicex's Honda, but I thought I'd start my own thread. I used Meguiars Gold Class with my PC and the original pad, and Black Magic Tire Wet on the tires, I believe. Hope you enjoy!

Well, it looks as if my post got wiped out by today's outage. Anyway, I tried to make my own wax today. It consists of Paraffin wax, peanut oil, and mineral spirits. I figured if I can't make a wax out of paraffin, I won'd do any better with carnauba. On the first try, I melted some...

While doing my chem homework, I flipped through and ended on a chapter about Organic Chemistry. It talked about monomers, polymers, and amino functional groups. I believe this is the 2nd to last chapter, though...on the 2nd chapter now. ;) Anyway, it sparked my interest and I started...

Right. With a small budget, what would be a couple good products to solve most issues. I'm thinking that something more abrasive for fairly heavy swirls and light scratches, and then another product for polishing out the possible haze from that. These products are for use with a PC. I...
