Hi Guys, I decided to give my DA a shot at cleaning the soap scum in my shower. The scum with the hard water makes for a backbreaking nightmare of a job. Magic erasers just crumble, it gets that bad. So I am wondering what attachment would be best. Do you think a brush, like an upholstery...

Hello all. I have read numerous times that the go to for washing and rejuvenating coated surfaces is Car Pro`s Reset. However it seems as though it is not necessary to use you this every wash. What soaps or shampoos are out there that leave nothing behind, and are good for a wash when you don`t...

I am using Mckee`s 37 coating and was wondering what quick detailer can I use to clean up a smudge or so. I have so many, I wish I didnt have to buy another. Mckees of course has thier own products but I am not sure if that is just marketing or not. What I have on hand is Blackfire`s quick...

Has anybody ever used either of these products. I have only ever used Nanolex. I believe it was the 500ml bottle. It took about half a bottle to do the car. (Plus I spilled some) It turned purple, and I guess it did what it had to do. Any other favorite decon products...

I know I am going to have a difficult time trying to describe this, so please bear with me. I have a 2002 Accord coupe. The center of the airbag cover in the center of the steering wheel has come to feel "tacky". I am able to run my fingernail across it and scratch some off. It has become very...

Not quite 1 year ago, (but soon) I applied Mkees 37 coating to my car. I washed it the other day after a road trip and didn`t notice any benefits. The water did not bead as I would have expected, I have tar and other contaminants on the car which I will have to clay etc. The product says it can...

I got several Blackfire products last fall and waited all winter to use them. I applied a coating to my car (mckee`s 37) and now i am hearing that certain products can break it down or cause it to not function properly. I have blackfire quick detailer that I would like to spray on after I wash...

As a first time coating user (McKee`s 37) I am not really sure what I should be looking for. I applied it as directed, although in some spots I feel I applied it too thin. Should the car have the feel of a freshly waxed car, for the life of the coating, be it one year, two years etc? My car...

What can go under/over a coating? For example, does a coating have to be applied to the bare paint? or can it be applied over a "pure polish" or glaze? Can a wax, synthetic or natural be applied over it, or will the petroleum distillates break it down? This is for coatings in general but the one...

A little frustrated and disappointed. Just came to vent really. I started my big detailing project yesterday. I got a coating for my birthday that I wanted to try out. I worked hard on the prep, decontaminating, washing, claying, removing old wax etc. because I wanted to coating to look and work...

I am interested in trying a coating but don`t know where to start. I am looking for something probably in the 30 dollar range. Any ideas?

came across these in my Griots catalog and wondered a) why are cotton cloths being sold when you can buy microfiber cloths and b) They mention polyester and how it scratches cars, well, I have never seen a microfiber towell that didnt have polyester in it. (they all are a polyester/polyamide...

I know that using a more aggressive polish and then a less aggressive polish would give you an ideal result. Just like increasing the grit of your sandpaper. I imagine the same is with the pad. But where I get confused is putting a polish on a pad that doesn`t necessarily match the...

I have trouble finding info on uber pads such as a chart or comparison chart. More specifically is a green ube pad equal to a white LC pad? It is certainly less dense...

I am doing a small touch-up paint job on my bumper and was wondering what a good compound/polish would be to remove any wet-sanded areas or places where the paint blends, and on the clear-coat itself if needed? Thanks as always

I am doing a small rattle can job on my car. My primer is Lacquer and my Clear coat is Lacquer. My color base coat is urethane. Can urethane be applied on top of a lacquer and a lacquer applied on top of urethane? I know the guidelines for Lacquer and Enamel, but not Lacquer and Urethane. any...

Before the winter comes, I check all my fluids, air pressure and clean my battery terminals. As far as detailing goes, I like to put on a nice final coat of wax. Lastly I keep my fingers crossed that we all drive safely and that the car doesn`t get damaged from salt and pot-holes!

A few months back during discussion, I believe TheMeanGreen said that he thought he received a bad bottle of M205. He said it seemed watered down. I had bought my father and myself some cleaner wax and just this afternoon he had a fit with it on his car. He would put it on, it would haze, the...

First off has anyone ever used this? Is it worth it? How long does it last? I am curious about it but not ready to do it. What I am looking for is just a sheet of the material so I can cut it and apply it where I wish. Products such as 3m Clear Mask and XPEL are custom cut to your vehicle and...

Anyone have an old foaming lance (or even a foaming gun) collecting dust that they don`t use anymore?:D Can be Pressure washer or pneumatic powered.
