So my spa(hot tub) has been sitting turned off for a few monthes. I am going to drain and clean it and was wondering if we had a strong enough auto sealant to use on it. I have fiberglass acrylic gloss for hot tubs but not happy with the gloss of longevity of it.

Couldn't find much in a search. I have heard from here it is ok to top a nuba with optiseal. I want to top p21s 100% with OS. But from my experience optiseal is not very slick. Will opti seal over p21s take away the slickness?

I am looking at possibly taking a 2nd job with a yacht detailing company dealing mainly with boats in the water. What should I expect? similar to cars?

I've been seeing the 3m waxes and QD's showing up more and more in autoparts stores and AG is advertising them a lot too. I'm having trouble finding any info or reviews on this stuff. I know they make good compounds but what about the performance finish and the quick wax and sperfect-it...

I have Chrome steel bumpers on my truck, they look decent but I think they could look alot better. I've tried mothers chrome polish but it doesn't seem to be any different then a good sealant. Can I use my PC on them with a mild polish to really bring out the shine or will the comprimise the...

I have some P21s 100 on the way and I'm planning using it as a topper for a base coat of DG105 on Dark metallic blue. I haven't used a nuba for years and was wondering what QD I should use with it. I curently use DG521 and aqua wax but I don't know how those will react with the P21s.

Buy a PC this weekend and I think I want to go with the 4 inch spot buff ccs pad kit. Is this the way to go for doing light to moderate correction with the PC?

I just picked up some DG601 and 105. I've been using 501 topped with 111 and have liked the results but decided to try 105 based off of reviews on here. SO my question. If I lay a base coat of 501 do I need to lay down 601 before 105? and since 105 has some cleaners in it will it take off the...

I use clay magic blue clay so it doesn't come with a nice box. I am storing it in a little plastic container that seals tight and I fill it up with QD and store the clay. Is this alright to do? Will it prematurely wear out the clay?

I just scored a Porter Cable 7428 with low hours for uh... free. :bigups I have used a rotary in the past about 10 yrs ago but that was on SS paint and with wool pads, I'm sure things have changed. I'm trying to read up and watch as much instructional videos as a can until I get some pads...

I am waxing the wifes car tomorrow and want to try out some new products I found from this site. I don't have a PC yet so no correction. It's dark metallic blue and has some mild swirling. I want to use DG 101 and then 105. However I know this won't hide the swirls verywell So I want to use...

For my exhaust pipe. The factory tubing on my ford is a low grade stainless. It's very ruff but I think it can be polished out. Tese pics were taken after only wetsanding with 2000 and hitting it with M105 and the powerball. It still has some major pitting and other imperfections in it so I...

I Have tons of micro marring all over my clear coted polished wheels and a few scratches. Would It be alright to attack it the same way you would a body panel with compounds and the pc? I tried the powerball but it didn't do anything, maybe with a more abrasive compound it might work.

Yesterday I decided to Un-winter my truck a little. I don't have a PC yet so I washed with dawn in the foam gun to get off any old LSP (NXT2.0) so there wasn't much left. I clayed and washed again. I decided to try out some duragloss products after reading alot about them on here. I couldn't...
