hi everyone...i've been off the boards for quite a while, but hoping to be more active again. one thing i'm looking to do is replace my near-empty Menzerna Final Finish II bottle of awesomeness... i searched through and found quite the history for the Menzerna products...especially the FFII...

is there any significant UV protection in the various LSPs we use? sorry if this is obvious or already discussed...a quick search didn't show much. i will be applying the first layer of protection over my new clear bra soon and want to make sure UV protection is part of it (to deter...

retrying this...haven't been able to get a post to work in this subforum all day...:nixweiss ---------------------------------- here are the results of my PPF (clear bra) install and tint. it's 50% front, 35% rear tint (legal limit in my area...but i'm not a fan of blacked out windows...

anyone ever try this method for repairing PPF? i've heard about it, but haven't been brave enough to try it. http://www.ventureshield.com/newpdf/10.05newsletter2.pdf i am waiting for my vehicle to have the venture shield film install completed...pretty excited to have it on there. :woot2:

so my IS350's wheels are a HUGE pain in the butt to clean. the rotors leave very little clearance to get inside...none of my numerous brushes come close to fitting in there to help. even a wash mitt on or off my hend barely fits (or doesn't, depending on the spot). :angry anyone have...

just brought home a new lexus IS350! the more i think about it, the happier i am about it! no pics until tomorrow, after i can give her a nice spa treatment. basically, i found a nearby dealer with a few 2007 models on their lot...still NEW. hmmm. why do they still have 07 models in...

hi all- i'm looking into options on getting a troll to pay me for a deal gone bad that resides in Fort Mcmurray, Alberta. this is actually the first time i've ever had problems with online transactions in nearly 10 years of buying/selling through forums. is anyone from Alberta that can...

anyone familiar with On The Spot Detailing, located in Madison (or is the owner on Autopia?). just curious...not looking for them to do any work for me...they do mobile work for my company now and then.

i worked on the Z over the past few days...started with my (failed) attempt at using Poli-Seal (i posted about that in the product discussion forum). that was my fault, trying to use too much product and the pad gummed up terribly. so, i switched to FPII on a white edge 2000 pad w/ my...

i tried poli-seal for the first time today and had to stop after three sections. i was using my hitachi w/ a blue edge 2000 pad...spread at 600 or so...worked at 1500 (at the most) and then back down to 600 for the final pass. the product seemed to polish out fine, but when i looked closer...

i tried searching and just find the millions of wool pad threads, but nothing specific to this: is there anything special you should do to a brand new wool pad? (please link to an existing thread if you know of one) i'm asking because i've read about wool pads shedding. to avoid a...

it's been a while since i tried a new product...when i first found autopia i was out of control, buying everything i could find and trying it. so, as everyone else, i ended up with a huge stockpile of different pads, sealants, waxes, cleaners, etc. eventually, i settled on what worked for...

i have a question related to wool pads: how MANY do you typically use on a standard auto detail (meaning without stopping to clean one to keep using it)? i'm about to pick up the Edge 6" wool set and would like to make sure i have enough (without buying ones that will sit there for months...

just looking around on youtube for misc vids and found this one: YouTube - Zymol detailer on Lotus super 7 nothing particular to note really, but i was curious if it seems like he is working that section for a really long time w/ the rotary? i don't think i ever work polish that long (at...

a dreary, rainy sunday will make you do strange things. i came up with a quick product test to entertain myself... product: 303 Aerospace Hi Tech Fabric Guard i just purchased a cheap pack of general use microfiber towels from Sam's (25 pack for $11.50). i'm actually fairly...

an 05 350Z to replace the sedan. :woot: finally getting the impractical car i've always wanted! haha no pics yet, but it's a "silverstone" (pewter) color. after i give her some autopian love, i'll post it up. got a good deal on it, including extended 3yr/50k mile bumper-to-bumper...

i know there are other threads that share these types of things...here was an interesting one i saw today...a double-parked Kia Spectra. now, i'm not bagging on the Kia, a person's car is a person's car and they should be proud of it...but i still kind of shook my head at this one. this was in...

i worked on the corvette i mentioned in a previous thread today (http://autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/91870-1980-black-corvette.html))...about seven hours worth (nearly all exterior) and it's still faaaaar from perfect...and never will be. the owner said she is considering a repaint and just...

anyone have a bottle of FPII to trade for two (2) Edge 2000 adapters for the PC? i'd trade even up for a new bottle (32oz) of FPII.

i just had a referral call from an owner of a 1980 corvette...black. i did some quick searching and didn't find much on here about earlier model corvettes, just how hideous the current models are to work on. being 1980 and the current owner has had it for 10 years...i'm hoping it is still...
