Hi Guys I have a glass sealant on my windshield that I want to remove (yeah, don`t ask!). I`ve tried a Magic Eraser with isopranol 50/50, Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss and Turtle Wax Max Power (latter two at max strength). All to no avail. Has anyone had experience using Duplicolor on...

Hi Folks A little while ago I started a thread about using Mequiar`s Super Degreaser as a pre-wash for removing road film/grime. I wondering what other products and techniques people are using for the same purpose? Anyone using Super Clean Degreaser, for instance?

Hi Folks I`m wondering if anyone uses Mequiar`s Super Degreaser as a pre-wash for getting rid of road grime etc.? Thanks.

Hey Folks, I have been unable to source the 3M (3434?) blue tape here in Canada ( I can get the 233+ green stuff) and wondered if any fellow Canucks know where to buy it? Thanks.

Hey Folks, I'm wondering which of the products I own would be suitable for polishing a windshield. I thought I'd use the PC with 4" pads - polishing or finishing?? Here are the polishes I own: IP FP2 #80 #82 #83 3M Perfect-It III 05933 05937 Thanks :)

I know a lot of guys/gals on this board use halogens for seeing defects clearly. My car was "detailed" awhile ago by a shop who work in conjunction with a local body shop (I had some body work and a re-spray done). Long story short, these guys (the so-called detailers) left all kinds of...

In general what is the most aggressive pad you would want to use via PC? In the video, "Using the PC for Showcar Results" Mike Phillips implies that a polishing pad is as far as you should go, cutting pads being reserved for rotary use. IIRC he said a cutting pad and PC would produce an...

I'm wondering if PC speeds are directly transferable from 6.5" pads to 4" pads. Say for instance your using a 6.5" polishing pad at speed 5 and you switch to a 4" pad for a tight area: would you still use speed 5 or step it down because of the more aggressive nature of the smaller pad? Thanks.

One thing that has always bothered me about polishing via machine is spreading the polish initially on the pad. If you use just a little polish, as most experienced users seem to agree is the way to go, it'll spread out eventually and cover the pad, but what about in the mean time? Maybe I'm...

My car is pearl metallic black. For those familiar with Autoglym SRP, once I've properly prepped the surface (Menzerna IP then 106FF), which pad would you guys recommend for applying the SRP? Would a LC White polishing pad do the trick or would I get a better result by going to a LC finishing...

Hi Guys I've been trying to justify the price of Swissvax Concorso in my own mind ;) . I've seen (and read about) some outstanding results - on this board and others. I was just at the point of ordering the wax and the SV Cleaner Fluid when I read a post (can't remember which forum) where the...

FS: 8 oz. tub of Pinnacle Souveran paste wax. Brand new. Stored in fridge. $30 CDN + shipping (at cost - you decide shipping method). SOLD!

I'm sure this one has been discussed before sometime, but I hope you'll humour me! ;) I been thinking about what products to use on my next detail. It may be awhile before I get around to it, as I'm recovering from shoulder surgery. Anyway since I own both Meg's #16 and Souveran, I was...

Apologies if this question has been addressed before. After reading the many enthusiastic user comments on Autopia, my interest has been piqued regarding Menzerna PO106FF/Blackfire SRC FP for use on my metallic black 98 Subaru. However when I visited the site where I was going to order it...

On another thread awhile ago Bioman posted this question: It was never answered. It seems like a good question and I'd like to know as well. Anyone know?

Like the title says......I have both products and I'm wondering in what order I should use them? I know that sealants don't bond all that well to certain glazes but I'm thinking that, since EX contains carnauba, that might change things. For those of you with experience with these 2...

I've been reading quite a bit here on the site about ONR and it got me wondering: does anyone use ONR just like a regular wash? By that I mean actually rinsing it off before drying. I know that some will say this defeats the main purpose of the product, but to me, if ONR works as well as it...

OK guys, I'm SURE this has been answered a million times, but I haven't been able to find the answer and, apparently, this question drives DavidB to drink! If someone would point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it: What happened to the Today's Posts button from the old BBS format? I...

Sorry if this has been asked before; I did a search. What I'm wondering is this: I thought tires were supposed to "breathe", there's something called "bloom" which forms on the tire's surface as they age (and are driven). It's my understanding that this is a natural and necessary part of...

Hi Folks I wish there were a forum specifically dedicated to "Forum" related topics ie subjects related to this BBS and its' format etc. If there's a more appropriate place for the following question, please let me know or re-direct it. Thanks. Today I was reading a thread started by a...
