I've been struggling with the best routine for keeping up the Paint Protection Film on the hood of my Car. The Audi is Black so every little thing shows. Plexus does work to a degree. It will add gloss and hide minor wash swirls. Meguiars PlastX and a similar product from Novous will make...

I used ProChem's All Fiber Rinse for the first time this weekend and was really impressed. I started out by mixing a couple of ounces with a gallon of water and putting some in my Bissell LGM and did the carpet in my ride. I had cleaned the carpet a month ago with a regular carpet cleaner and...

Sorry fella's for taking such a long hiatus. About a year ago I decided if I wasn't going to finish the bodywork on my project car I'd have to get rid of it (can't do that). So I hung up my detailers hat and put back on my welding helmet and started replacing body panels. I still detail my...

I'm not sure if anyone is still using either of these products but I spied both at a Harbor Freight store while there today. The Aquapel is the Pro formula (Blue Box) which I had to always order over the Internet because no one carried it around here. Price was about $6.45. With the cost of...

I went to Big Lots yesterday to grab some detailing stuff, they still had a few of Meg's discontinued Wheel Brushes and I grabbed some of the TW Wheel Dressing Applicators. Anywho, as I'm trolling along seeing what else is there I see a table with big boxes on it and on display there were the...

K, I know all about the big no no of using Fabric Softner when washing MF towels but I had this box of Snuggle Dryer sheets laying around that I don't use and decided to try it last week. Well I'm here to say that not only do my MF's come out softer, but they have less lint and are not...

I'm pleased with the product and don't feel like I wasted my dough on it. I clay my Audi twice a year during my full detail sessions (Winter Prep, Spring Cleaning) but was looking for something else when the situation doesn't really warrant the aggressiveness of a traditional bar. Evenflow...

I finished up my Meg's Gold Class and it's pretty much the only shampoo I used on my Black Audi. Wanted to step up to a boutique brand so I ordered some Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo. My initial impressions are mixed. Suds (or lack thereof) is what first comes to mind. I've read where others...

I'm hoping that everyone gets to where they want/gotta go this season to be with family and friends safely. I'm also hoping we all might take time out and remember just how fortunate we all are to have our health, people who care about and love us, and to be alive in these very exciting...

I was at Pep Boys today and while checking the shelves out for new items I came across something that I swore was Aquapel but the box was different. Turns out PPG is marketing Aquapel Glass Treatment as both a professional brand (the one we all see in the Blue box) and this one which is sold...

I applied Aquapel as part of my winter prep for the Audi last year and was really impressed. So I compounded my windshield last night and am going to apply it again. Last year I did the front side windows and the rear glass in addition to the windsheild. Am I just wasting product as there may...

I've read through various threads on the Metro Master Blaster (not the little one) and am probaly going to get one. Thing is I've read on some sites that you need to run it on a 20 amp breaker as it will trip a 15 (I guess because of the 18 amp draw from two motors). Can ne1 confirm this...

I'm on holiday's and staying downtown in Toronto. Can ne1 reccommend me a touchless wash in the area which would meet a Autopian's strict requirements (no marring). I just detailed the Audi and don't want to get it all swirled up. TIA MorBiD

I brought one of these pads back in Febuary and used it maybe once of twice to check it out before putting it up. I started my Winter Prep yesterday and while using the Swirlbuster pad I went to remove the pad from the backing plate and the white backing seperated from the pad (stuck to the...

K, I'm pretty pissed now. I got a Karcher 3.97M electric PW from Sears last fall (or end of summer) and by spring it wasn't working right (the dreaded cycling issue). So Karcher sent me another one under thier Rapid Exchange program. Well fine by the end this summer that one is doing the same...

In our last episode our hero he was contiplating installing a PPF Kit on his rocker panels (here). We will now re-join our hero after getting the kit... ClearMask is a another distributor of PPF (paint protection film). They are unique in that kits they make are made with a DIY'er in mind...

I'm looking for soemthing I can get local to tide me over till I can get my semi-pro machine. Saw this McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner at Target for $129.00 and am looking for some feedback. I have tool catalogs with the same companies electric PW but have no word on the rep of those...

I've saw threads about this Temporary Sprayable Bra but I thought it wasn't for real. Now what I want to know is has ne1 tried this stuff yet? Morbid

I see Home Depot has a sale on the Bissell 1200 SpotBot Handsfree Compact Deep Cleaner till the end of the month. $94.50. What was the verdict on these? Are they any good? Winter is coming and I'm looking for a better way to clean the carpet from the road salt and slush. TIA Morbid...

ClearMask sells a PPF kit for the rockers on my '05 Audi. I didn't get them done when I had the front end done in the spring cause I had just took them off and professionally re-finished them from the pitting and chipping. Now this company says they make their kits to be easy to install...
