Are there particular polishes that people have used before AIO/UPP that interact with either of these (bonding or hazing issues)?

On Classic Auto Care's website, they have a section dealing with German paint, and the products that work best on them. They mention Menzerna polishes, AIO and P21S. Is this true that Menzerna work better on this type of paint, and if so, does it apply to a VW made for America? I...

I live in Delaware and would like to get UPP to apply over AIO this weekend. I will be out of commision after this weekend, due to knee surgery next Thurs, and really want to get some UPP on the car. I would like to get it locally if I can, because of the huge costs associated with...

I have read that the alcohol in the common windshield washer fluids can damage the wax (or acrylic) protection. Is this true? If so, what am I supposed to use for my windshield wiper fluid? Thanks

I just received my order from Autogeek and I can't tell you how impressed I am with the OXO car duster and in-car duster. The wheel brush really is nice as well. The paraffin threads are very similar to CCD, but the quality of contruction blows the CCD away. I decided to try this...

I have heard that P21S and S100 are the same wax, just packaged differently (P21S for the auto industry and S100 for the motorcycle industry). If this is true, I am an idiot, as I could have purchased S100 for less than half the price of P21S for the same 6.2 oz jar on Autogeek.net Is...

I ran over a pothole recently and the edge of one of the aluminum wheels has a few chips in it. Is there a product that I can use that will fill in these chips and protect the wheel from corroding? I can't afford a new wheel at this time. Thx

I am considering getting a Front End Cover, to help protect the front grille area from stones and other flying debris. Does anyone use one of these? I heard that over time, the paint under the cover will be a different shade than the exposed paint. Is this something that I need to worry...

Hello: I have a new dark blue Jetta with some dealer-prepared swirl marks. I also have a few small scratches. I would like to know which products I should use before AIO (I have heard that AIO will remove fillers) in order to reduce the swirl marks and help with the scratches. I have...

Hello: I am new to Autopia and am trying to find out what products/ method I can use to remove bug deposits that I can't get off. I have tried Turtle Wax bug remover (one that has always worked for me in the past). If the insects are left on there too long, what can I do to remove them and...

Hello: I am new to this forum and to detailing in general. I really don't have tons of money or time to spend on detailing, but would like to protect my car from the elements. I have a 2004 Jetta with dark blue pearlcoat paint (though I don't know what the "pearlcoat" stands for). Key...

Hello: I am baffled at the number of online stores that sell auto detailing products. Can you recommend a store that has a wide array of products and good prices. I am most interested in: Klasse products P21S products Lexol products 303 Aerospace Protectant

Has anyone had experience with either of these products. I am trying to determine which is better for cleaning and protecting the leatherette and plastic dashboard in my VW Jetta. Thanks, Craig

Hello: Because I live in an apartment, I have to take my Jetta to be pressure-washed at the local self service car wash. I make sure to stand at least 3 feet from the car while using the metallic hose. I also don't use the brush, as I am afraid that it will scratch the finish. Will...
