    Chemical Guys ONE

    I searched it here, and am hearing two completely different things on it. Some say it causes swirls, then fills them. Others say it works great with no marring. I just received my bottle yesterday, and now I am afraid to use it! I am assuming that if I use it on a clean car, there won't be...

    100% cotton towels for drying?

    A couple other places, including Zaino reccomend using only 100% made in the USA cotton bath towels for drying. They also reccomend staying away from micro fiber. :think2 I gotta admit I'm confused. I have found high quality bath towels on sale at places like Macys or those bath stores and...

    KMART Mr/ Clean Magic Eraser Wheels & Tires.

    I was picking up a couple Viking MF's, when I saw these Magic Erasers, so I grabbed a box. Take it up to the counter, and it rang up as $1. I didn't have time to go grab more as I was on my lunch, but I'm definitely going after work! Seems like they are the same as the regular ME's. Here's...

    Any experience with Protect All Polish/Wax teatment?

    I saw this in Wal Mart, and it sounded interesting. I didn't get it though, wanted to see if anyone had used it. Protect All Polish, Wax & Treatment Does It All! I'm not really sure, but it sounds like a QD, wax, polish that can be used on any surface of the car. :hm

    Adding QD to wash water?

    I have taken to adding about a capful of ONR to my conventional wash bucket with soap, just seems to give that extra bit of slickness. I have tons of other QD sprays, and wondered if they might help. Would it do any good to add any other type of QD to the wash like Megs, Poorboys, or whatever...

    Yet another PC question, where to buy?

    I have decided I want to finally step up to a PC, and looking around at all the detailing and online stores, the prices are pretty much the same. But they all are available with different pad packages, and some have wax and polish as well. Some offer dual sided pads, quick release doo-hickies...

    So what's your favorite QD, and why?

    For some reason, I keep picking up different QD's. I'm now stepping into the boutique ones too. So far I have most of the off the shelf ones, E1 spray and wipe seems to be the best of these. I just recently got ONR, and mixed up QD from that. This is my current favorite. It cleans great even...

    Newb ONR user, wow!

    So many threads, most like it, some don't, but I was really intrigued by this stuff so I had to order some. It was delivered yesterday and I wanted to to use it right then, but I have poor lighting in my garage. Luckily I live only about 5 minutes from my work, and usually go home for lunch...

    Good, mild OTC seat cleaner?

    My seats are "Action Leather" (AKA vinyl) with "performance Suede" (AKA, not really suede) inserts. I want something mild as a pre cleaner, I was thinking just some heavily diluted Woolite, then use the Megs leather and vinyl protectant. What does everybody else use for fake leather? :hm

    Anybody else still use newspaper for windows?

    I know there are special MF's for windows, but I am still extremely happy with the way newspaper leaves the windows. Crystal clear and streak free, just gotta wash your hands afterwards.

    Nice find at Big Lots

    I went there after reading about finding Meguiars stuff there. I did pick up a couple Meg brushes. But I also stumbled across a creeper stool like this one Torin Big Red Creeper Seat at Truck Parts Pro Shop and it was only $15. No more lower back cramping when doing the lower panels and wheels...

    Clear headlight and taillight plastic cover care.

    Is there any special product for keeping these crystal clear? Right now they look perfect, clear and smooth. But I know from past experience they start getting scratched, pitted and plain dingy. Anything to do to protect them from that would be greatly appreciated! :thx

    Proper use of QD spray?

    I know it's the noobiest of noob questions :nervous: but it still sort of confuses me. Having a black car, it shows dust practically right after you pull it in the garage after washing it. Do I just spray on and wipe off the whole car between washings? Will it mar my finish at all? I will...

    Applying NXT liquid wax.

    Any trick to getting nice even layers? In the old days I applied paste wax in a circular motion, but now realize not to do this. I was applying the NXT in straight passes, but it wanted to build up too much, and it was tough keeping even, thin coats.

    Couple quick questions.

    What is the best way to polish chrome plated plastic? (Grill) Should I wax the clear coated aluminum rims, or is there some other type of protection? Thanks.

    2006 Charger R/T black pearl.

    New guy

    Greetings. I found Autopia through chargerforums.com. I got an '06 Dodge Charger R/T, pearl black crystal about 9 months ago, and came searching for tips on keeping her looking beautiful. After cruising around here for a couple of weeks, I realized the way I was cleaning my car was totally...
