I was reading Cory’s great review on Ceriglass and did not want to muddy up his thread with my questions. Excuse my ignorance on the topic, but why is a dedicated polish needed for glass? I have a myriad of “paint” polishes that I will never use up and I am huge proponent of product...

Just a friendly community reminder to check your local Wal-mart and Target for their respective Meguiar's Holiday Gift Pack as they are more than likely marked down 50% or more. Don't forget to ask Santa for one of these 2011 Holiday Gift Packs I just got back from Wal-Mart and scored two...

My folks just recently bought a used silver Toyota RAV4 to get a better balance of fuel efficiency and utility (compared to their previous V8 4runner). I have only seen the vehicle in pictures – none of which have a proper light angle to see the true pain condition of the paint. With that...

The record heat, lack of precipitation, and resulting water restrictions here in the Dallas has forced me to look at the rinseless washes. For the most part, I have always been a “2-bucket method” guy as my first foray into the rinseless method left me a little wanting. I resisted QEW but...

Hello All, I have a single 2-month old layer of Z2 Pro on my daily driver (Red Metallic Ford Focus). Although it gets driven everyday, it does not face the harshest elements - my work has covered garage parking and it gets garaged at home as well. I wash it bi-weekly with no follow-up of...

I wanted to know people's opinion on this often overlooked topic. Many users will often strike down worthy, capable products due to using the wrong application tools or method. I understand it is generally a matter of preference and/or personal technique but there are often discovered...

Hey folks, I wanted to query you all for opinions on dedicated pad cleaning products such Snappy Clean, DP polishing pad rejuvenator, XMT Pad cleaner, etc. My normal routine has been to soak my pads in a hot Dawn wash for a couple of hours (sometimes overnight) and then to scrub/wring them...

I was recently detailing the cars when I started to think about the smells of the products that I use. What products do you guys really like the smell of...on the other hand, what products have repulsing ones. I'll go ahead start with a couple of my winners and losers (all in good fun :grinno...

Since the halfway point of the regular season is just around the corner, I wanted to know how you guys are doing in your leagues. As for me, I'm currently playing in an 8-team, head-to-head Yahoo league - I'm doing ok as I am projected to be the last guy in for the playoffs. This is the first...

My current technique for LSP removal consists of using a Pakshak ultra plush or ultra MF towel for the initial pass. Once the product is removed from the entire car, I use a Pakshak ultra fine MF towel to wipe down the car again. I have definitely noticed a slightly improved finish when I use...

The recent weather has been extremely detailing friendly so I have had the chance to try out several new products. I figure it is time to contribute something back to Autopia and do a review once or twice a month. Price: $9.99 at a local Wal-Mart (Availability is extremely high – I...

Quick question for you guys/gals...What is the appreciable durability that I should expect from PB's Wheel Sealant. I purchased this to replace my current choice (AIO/#26). Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to let you guys/gals know that Pinnacle Souveran, Signature, and Liquid Souveran are finally on sale at Autogeek. Each deal even comes with a free bonus item: Souveran Signature II Liquid Souveran The sale ends 05/31/06. :hifive:

Hey folks...can anyone comment on the availablility of Mother's new line of towels? Mid-April was the last I heard, but I have been to 3 or 4 local autoparts stores with no luck. I would really like to feel/try their foam core WW. Thanks in advance. MCA

The only things I really need right now are QD and cutting pads...I have decided to give #425 a shot and was interested in FK's pads to take advantage of a single shipping charge. However, their descriptions and product chart are completely confusing :confused: . They contradict each other -...

Well...after a full year I finally got around to using my stashed Zaino for the first time. I have been eager to try them out but always got side-tracked. The products I tested: Z-1 Z-2 Pro Z-6 Z-7 Z-8 (purchased 2 weeks ago) Z-PC (purchased 2 weeks ago, but still did not use –...

Well folks...I just recently found out that I am going to be a father of twins :woot: . These two will be my first little ones so I am definitely green when it comes to fatherhood. With that said, it's time to trade in the wife's car (Ford Focus) for something more practical. Our budget is...

Hey folks, I have been using Detailer's Pride gel wheel/tire cleaner (based on the old formula) --> simply awesome stuff since you can use it on both wheels and tires. Unfortunately, I am practically out. So I am doing my research and found 3 similar products that have a WIDE range in...

IMO, a 1-step product does have a niche in a detailer's arsenal. As an example, my parents like to have their Steel-grey metallic Mazda Tribute looking fairly nice but they do not have the time for a full detail. 90% of perfection is just right. With that said, I have been using Meguiar's...

I've got some questions regarding the correct cleaning/maintenanace process of my Mazda 6's wheel wells. About 3/4 of the wheel wells are covered in what I can best describe as "hard carpet"...it's shaped to conform with the well, but it's fuzzy. I don't how to clean or what products to use for...
