Looking for a good engine detailer, something similar to a CD2 from 3D. I believe the Trim Shine would be that product. Does it protect plastic and rubber, or is it more for just looks?

Hi, is this considered one of the better engine cleaners to use being the HD version is safe for aluminum? Thanks!

After reading the mixed reviews on Sonus MK, I decided to give it a shot on the engine cover to see how it would work. Like others, I found it to be very spotty. The engine cover was clean and dry. This product leaves to much spotting. I let it dry overnight and the next morning it looked...

Hi, any preferences between Sonus Motorkote & CD2 engine detailer? I have both and have yet to try the Motorkote. I ordered a bottle last week. The CD2 seems to be working well on my wife's car. No complaints. I'm curious how the Sonus works and holds up. :thx

My rims have brake dust spots that simple green won't remove. They are the standard Honda Accord rims. Does anyone know another option?

I now have 3 nasty scratches on my front bumper towards the bottom. Has to be taken to an auto body shop. I got a quote for $375 from a reputable place. I was thinking of having this done then eventually putting on the Clear Bra. It's an 05 Accord that is 1 year old with about 19k miles on...

Hi, I have an 05 Accord and so far I have 3 really nasty scratches from rocks on the highway. The latest one happend this past wed. while driving home. Truck shatterd a rock and a large peice hit my front bumper and took the paint right off. Like most of you, I'm fairly fanatical about the...

www.pro-tectfilm.com Friend of mine saw this out at the SEMA show. Said it's very impressive.

After discovering autopia, I realized I wasn't doing my paint any good by using cheap microfiber towels. So I have tried 3 highly regarded towels : DF, Meguiars Ultra Plush Terry, and Viking's blue mf drying towel. Of all of these, I am most impressed with Viking's towel. I only use this...

Before I discovered this great site, I made the mistake of using microfiber cloths sold at Target. This plus bad technique have left my car with faint scratches that can be seen under certain lighting, especially in parking lots. I plan on using 3 coats of Z5 followed by 2 of Z2. The car is...

Question for you guy's, I had my car detailed by a guy who uses Ardex's professional line. Car looks outstanding. I've used Zaino and Mother's products in the past. I have a bottle of Z6 that I'd like to use as a touch up after washing. Does anyone think this is a problem? I personally am not a...

I've used Zaino products before and they are excellent. I realize that technique is very important with using any detail product. I recently have given the new Mother's Syn Wax Fx line a try and am pleased with it. After washing my car, I use the Spray Wax FX as a follow up. So far after 4...

I'm really impressed with Mother's new line of products. So far I've used the SynWax FX, Spray Wax FX and today for the first time I tried the Tire Shine. The Tire Shine is probably the best stuff I've used on tires to date. I will be giving the new Reflections Line a go late fall. Having a...

I ran out of Zaino and am now using the new Mother's line. Good stuff. However, I had some Z6 and I have to say it's my favorite window cleaner. It goes on easily and really does a nice job on the windows. Anyone else use the Z6 spray for windows?

I just tried out the new Mother's SynWax.. I was thinking of using this in the summer months and then switching to Reflections for the winter months. Is it ok to switch back and forth for the seasons? I know they are different formulas. I'm thinking the Reflections + Top Coat is more durable...

I picked up the SynWax this morning and gave it a shot. I was looking for Reflections but couldn't find it. I then read where the SynWax FX is better for light colors. I've used Zaino in the past and after using this, I'm impressed. It goes on VERY easy and comes off just as easy. It...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. This is the "bobistheoilguy" of auto detailing. Awesome! I have a new 2005 Silver Accord. I've used Zaino in the past and was happy with it, however, the new Mother's line seems like a bargain from a price/performance standpoint. I'm having a hard time...
