    Interesting frost story?

    OK, I know that sounds crazy, but here's a picture of the frost pattern left on my car this morning after I waxed it with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran wax yesterday. I waxed my wifes car with Duragloss Aquawax and her car just had normal frost on it. Both cars were parked side by side in the...

    Finish Kare Confusion

    Where does FK1 FX-100 Spray Glaze Sealant fit into the waxing process? Is it a typical glaze that goes under the sealant/wax or is it a QD or an LSP? I've read several posts where people have used it on top of Pink Wax, but the directions say to use it on a "clean, prepared surface." How does...

    Meguiar's wheel brush needs a good home

    I have a new Meguiar's Versa-Angle wheel brush that I will give to the first DC supporting member that wants it. I've used it on two wheels, and I much prefer my cheapo Walmart brush. The Megs brush looks awesome but for me it's too heavy, cumbersome, and the bristles are so thick that they...

    FK1 1016 Anti Static Wash and Wax

    I received a 4oz sample bottle of the FK1 1016 Anti Static Wash and Wax and thought I'd give it a try today. It's a gold colored, bubble gum scented, thick liquid and the instructions said to mix 2oz per gallon so that's exactly how I mixed it. My Poorboys SS&S, which is my go to wash soap...

    FK1 1000P Hi Temp Paste Wax

    Does anyone have any experience with this product? I have a small, sample tin of it and was wondering how well it works. I just finished spit shining several applications of PS and don't want to start over just to see how the FK1 works. Anyone using it?

    Ex plus RMG Question

    I'm going to try Poorboy's EX for the first time and I want to know if I can put it on top of RMG, or maybe the other way around, RMG over EX? I will be finishing with Natty's, will this work?

    Optimum Polish Question

    I'm going to try Optimum Polish for the first time and I was wondering if I can put my sealer (4*UPP) on right after the polish or if I need to use a cleaner first? Does Optimum leave oils that will affect a sealant?

    First Waterless wash-what did I do wrong?

    OK, so I just tried S&W for the first time and it left my hood (the only part I tried it on) all streaks. S&G got rid of the streaks but what am I doing wrong? I've never used a waterless wash before and am not very comfortable doing it but I sprayed a light mist over half the hood and wiped...

    Foam applicators

    I wasn't sure where to post this so I put it in here. Where can I buy good foam applicator pads? The only ones I can find are those thin, small yellow ones that don't seem to work very well for me because the're hard to hold onto and tear easily. I've tried searching but all that comes up are...

    Collinite Insulator wax

    I just picked up a bottle of insulator wax to try because I'd heard that it works pretty well and I thought I'd give it a try. Interesting that on the bottle it says "heavy duty paste" even though it's really a liquid (or more like a lotion), but the part that really got my attention was this...

    Finally got rid of water spots on glass

    I had some very old and very hard water spots on my windows that I finally got rid of by using Mothers power polish by hand with mf pad. I tried the usual clay, vinegar, steel wool but nothing worked until this. The steel wool actually scratched the glass even though I was assured that it...

    Waffle Weave Towels

    I love my absorber. Been using them for a few years and I thought I had a pretty good drying process with it, along with some Eagle One wax-as-u-dry. Then I decided to try one of the ww drying towels that you guys are always talking about, so I picked up the Big Blue 25"X36" ww. Holy cow, is...

    My bushings are groaning!

    Well, actually it's my cars bushings that are groaning, and creaking, so much so that it is getting really annoying. It seems to be the rear suspension arm bushings and it is so loud that I can hear it even with the radio turned up. Just getting into the car or going over a bump, or anything...

    Did I just mess up?

    I just finished drying my car with my usual Eagle One Wax as U Dry and remembered I still wanted to put another coat of 4*UPP sealant on since I only have 2 coats. Do you think the Wax as U dry will keep the sealant from bonding? How can I tell if it's messed up and will I have to start all...

    My first can of Natty's

    I haven't tried it out yet but this stuff smells great. If it works half as good as it smells it'll be awesome. Can't wait to give it a try. :jump

    Taping off trim

    I noticed that some of the pro detailers tape off the trim on the cars they are working on. Is that something that most of you do all the time or is it only for certain cars or processes?

    The Cost Of Carxxxx

    I've been using Megs and Mothers waxes for my personal vehicle and I though I would try some of the better carxxxxs that have been suggested here at DC. I was surprised to see that the prices vary from $15-$70. Do the higher cost products provide any noticeable benifit to the "average joe"...
