    Your thoughts on the Boar`s Hair Brush

    One of my Black Friday orders contained a Montana Boar`s Hair Brush (should be here next week). I intend to put a pole on it and use it primarily for the bottom panels. I have a terrific CarPro Wool mitt for the rest of the car. I have read extreme ends in terms of reviews - some people...

    Got my PA order today. Now what?

    I have a diamond white color Mercedes that is brand new. I decided to give it the best so I ordered Snow White Carnubaflakencreme (a wax I assume) and High Gloss. I want to use the Snow White after prepping with P21S Paintwork Cleanser. The protection should last a year according to the...

    Do I really need to get a polisher?

    My new ride is a very pretty ML350, that is in "White Diamond" paint (a rather expensive paint option). I wanted to post photos of it since I've just detailed it but for some reason my forum permissions show that I do not have permission to post attachments. I don't know why as I've been here...

    How to seal new Mercedes White Diamond paint?

    I will soon be taking delivery of new ML350 in something called "White Diamond" paint. I've heard it is five layers of special German paint. In the showroom the cars they had in this color where absolutely beautiful. Of course I want to seal it as soon as possible. For quite some time now I...

    I am going to try to go for a one year long polish

    I have a billit silver Honda and it is garage kept, seldom sees rain and never snow, sand or salt. Basically, it is a garage queen. I've tried every detail product you can imagine and I've been pleased with most. Here is what I am going to try - what do you all think? Because contimenants...

    Autogeek now selling entire Duragloss line

    Autogeek has recently introduced the Duragloss line of detailing products for sale through its website. Just for the heck of it, I compared prices between Autogeek and Duragloss for two of my favorite products - FCS and AW. The prices were not too far apart but Autogeek charged a little more...

    What household uses is AIO good for?

    I see references to people using AIO around the house for certain chores but I have not found any specifics given (other than one poster who said he used it on shower stall glass). I think there was a thread a while ago about various detail products and how they are used in other applications...

    Advice needed for best use of various MF towels.

    I have been sort of into detailing for a couple years now (my truck and fiance's car) and have an arsonal of micro fiber towels. I have a few of the big ww from Cobra I think (the light green ones with pockets for your hands) and a number of regular mfs from various manufacturers. I also have...

    Does anyone use spray sealants after every wash?

    I usually AIO/SG my truck twice a year and QD after every wash. I have used a variety of QDs but find that Poorboys SW or Duragloss FCS is all I need for light clean-ups. Then, I often go over those with FK425 or AquaWax. After a full wash or shampoo, I'll often use something like Wolfgang...

    What is your standard for determining "durability"?

    I used Jeff's Jett for the first time the other day and someone in another thread ask that I keep them updated on its "durability". I used AIO/SG and applied these every six months just to do so (this is the first time with Jett). However, the silver truck I have never gave me any indication...

    My Story Of Six Days with Six Different QDs

    My truck sat in the garage for six straight days (2006 Honda Ridgeline in Billet Silver). I had washed it, AIO x 2, Jeff's Jett x 3 (thought I'd try it instead of my Klasse SG). The next day I applied a coat of Jeff's Acrylic Gloss. So far so good, everything looked great. I know, I know...

    Does Wolfgang make a QD?

    I have only tried one Wolfgang product so far (Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant) and I am most impressed. It matches the luster of Menzerna's HGAS and even surpasses PoorBoys SG. Like these two, the Wolfgang is more of a spray sealant than a real QD. For example, PoorBoys considers SW a QD with more...

    Can you put Klasse SG or Jeff's Jett over a QD?

    I use 425 QD a lot after a wash; also, PoorBoys SW is a favorite QD of mine as well. My base is AIO and the lsp is Werkstats Jett acrylic sealant. The truck looks great but I would like to give it sort of a "booster" shot with Jett. Will it seal over a QD like 425? My guess is that if the QD...

    Products that do not live up to the hype?

    We often talk here of the many wonderful detailing products available to us these days. Almost everything from the major lines such as FK, PoorBoys, Sonus, Klasse, Wolfgang, Jeff Werkstats, etc. are pretty top notch. Without stepping on any toes (if possible), are there any products out there...

    Any harm in using Klasse SG without AIO?

    I have a new silver Honda and first detailed it with AIOx2 and SGx3. Since then (six months ago) I have kept it spotless and is garage kept every night. Also, I don't drive it every day and put very few miles on it anyway. I have become a little anal and when I see even a speck a dirt out...

    Anyone tried Honda motorcycle polishes on cars?

    I have a 2006 Honda and saw on a Honda parts site several products made by Honda for motorcycle finishes, helmets, and all vehicles in general. One is called Honda Pro Spray Cleaner and Polish. It comes in an aerosol can and is 14oz. in size. It costs $6.50 at mitsuaccessories.com. This...

    How often do you use a QD?

    I have 2006 Honda truck (silver) and find myself using a variety of QDs almost every day. If I take it out of the garage I use a QD when I return. I use AIO and SG is my lsp. The QDs I have tried are include 425, Menzerna HGAS, a home brew of 3:1 distilled water and SG, Eagle One WS, Poorboys...

    Do you ever use a QD after a wash but before drying?

    After washing my truck I always use a QD. However, I've always QD after drying the vehicle. The only time I have ever used a QD in any other way is putting a few capfulls in my QEW just for a little extra lubrication. But now I have heard some people saying that they spray the QD on while the...

    Aerosol spray can to apply QDs, etc.

    I have used a bunch of QDs including PoorBoys SW/SG; FK425; Menzerna HGAS; Jeff's AG; Eagle One WS, etc. Some of the spray bottles work okay but most leave a lot to be desired. I am always trying to adjust the nozzle to get the spray just right and trying to figure just how far to hold the...

    Methinks 425 attracts flies!!

    I did a complete wash on my silver Honda today. Usually I use QEW but took out the Eagle One shampoo as it was a great day here in Texas. I never had a problem with flies using this shampoo before so I am ruling it out of the equation. I have been experimenting with various QDs lately...
