Since this subject is somewhat sensitive, I ran the thread topic by David B before proceeding. As can be witnessed by my post count, I'd not one to bring a lot of attention to myself. Before going forward with this, I contacted Carlos, the admin at DB, several days ago and asked to have the...

FK has a new distributor. Unlike AG that carries a limited selection of products, Finish Kare USA is said to sell the whole line including items that weren't sold by FK1. This information came to me from the distributor. I'm acquainted with him via an automotive forum. The website is under...

Neighbors are redoing their kitchen and I called dibs on this cabinet. The polishers fit perfectly. There's so much room, I don't know what to do with all of it. It got here only 2 days ago, so there's plenty of time to fill the space. ;)

The paint was polished with M205 about a month ago, and burnished with FPII over the weekend. DG105 was the LSP. The Evo's Graphite Gray paint almost seems to suck in light, as can be seen in the second pic.

Like many here, I'm a hobbyist. I like trying different products, but buying 12/16oz bottles of sealant and full tubs of wax isn't always practical. I use enough to lay down a few coats on my cars, and move on to the next product that strikes my fancy, while the rest either sits on the shelf or...

I spent most of the day working on my wife's car, a Mazda3 hatch. The dealer (err...) "washed" it, while it was covered in salt, and caused a tremendous amount of marring. I'm 6' tall and I'm having a hard time getting enough leverage on the Flex while polishing the roof. I tried standing on a...

Hi, folks. How long does Z2p need to cure before being topped with Z-CS? Can I apply Z-CS after 12 hours? Thanks!

Hi, folks. I'm looking for an OTC metal polish to use on a stainless exhaust. Ease of use is a big plus. What do you recommend for my needs? Thanks in advance!

Hi, folks. I just applied Z-CS after an ONR wash. I'd like to top it with a sealant. How long to I need to wait to apply Z-8, or another sealant like FK, Jetseal, or a glaze like DWG? I'm in the process of detailing right now and I'm grateful for all replies. Thank you. :2thumbs:

Hi, folks. I picked up a bottle of TPS and I plan to try on my wife's blue Mazda this weekend. I have some questions for those who've used the product: 1. Can it be layered over another sealant or an AIO, or does the paint need to be "nude?" 2. Can it be layered over itself, given enough...

Hi, folks. I'll spare you the story, but my car spent its day sitting next to a freshly painted auto that was being compounded. As a result, my vehicle is covered in compounding dust. I lightly grazed a high-knap MF over the dust and I think that I picked up most of it. Is it safe to do a...

Hi, folks. I hate to impose on you like this, but I'm in the middle of a detail and it turns out that Poli-Seal may be an ideal solution. My question: How long does Poli-Seal need to cure before I can layer a 'nuba over it? I really do need a quick answer, if possible, or I'll have to choose...

Tonight, I applied Z-CS to a never-used applicator. I wanted to test in on the inside of my carbon fiber trunk and the door jambs - not a whole lot of surface area, given the trunk's skeletal construction. I used a brand new - washed, of course - Sonus pad, squeezing two short trigger pulls onto...

- - Added: Duragloss FC (Fast Clean & Shine) quick detailer - Blitz wax (~98% full) only used on a single panel traded - P21S - ~85% full traded - KSG - ~50% full - #26 - never used traded - #7 - ~98% full (used on one panel) - #4 - never used - P21S drying towel -...

I have an almost completely unused can of Blitz wax (~98% full) and P21S (~85% full) that I'd like to trade for some sealants, sealant sprays, AIOs, FK1 PW, and sealant-friendly glazes. Basically, I'm open to ideas. Mods, if this isn't the right forum, please move my post to the appropriate...

Hi, folks. As you can see, my car is Graphite Gray (pearl). It looks almost purple in the right light. I used Prime Strong (applied and worked with a PC) followed by three layers of AJT. While I'm not unhappy with the results, I feel like it needs more pop. Do you guys think I could apply...

Hi, folks. I picked-up a new car last October - a Graphite Gray (pearl) Evo SE. I asked for the car not to be detailed before delivery, as I wanted to do it myself. I started with FK1 1119, then layered 3 coats of AJT and finished with 1000P. Shortly thereafter, I put the car away for the Winter...

As I was running a few errands this morning, I stopped at NAPA on a whim. Many car care products were on sale, including #26 and #34. They had two #34s for $3.99 a pop and a few #26s for $6.99. I bought both #34s and left some of the #26 for someone else. Have a look if you have a store near you.

I have 3 layers of KSG on a Rally Red 06 Evo and I'm thinking of trying some AJ. Intuitively, it would seem like AJ would bond to KSG, but I'd like a confirmation before I order. TIA

I'd like to keep my Alcantra seats looking new for years to come. Is there a protectant recommended for Alcantra?
