Hi all,   My regular PDR guy has migrated from being mobile  to having a shop.    Ordinarily, that wouldn't be a big deal, but his shop is nearly 60 miles from  my house.     Does anyone have any contacts for a mobile PDR guy in Raleigh?     I checked Craigslist, and there are one or two...

I've been using Stoner's Trim Shine for a while now (ordered a case of 12 from them during a promo), but I am always looking to experiment. The car in question is my Lexus GS430. It's got wheel wells that are begging for something that dries to a nice, matte finish, but I haven't found it...

I bought one of these recently, and am having a bit of a problem getting it to work at its peak efficiency. I tried it yesterday with Meguiar's Gold Class car wash (measured out 2 oz. and put it in to the bottle, then screwed that on to the gun). It produced foam, but not nearly what I had...

Once again, I found myself in Big Lots' automotive isle, and found a couple of pretty good buys: For $2 each, I figured why not. The Quik Out I put to use immediately, removing coffee stains from my wife's Suburban. Apparently, my wife has a drinking problem, because the coffee...

Recently, I started a post asking if anyone had any favorite MF's they would recommend to replace my well-used Cobras. There were a lot of suggestions, and I opted to try a few. The first that came in were from Chemical Guys: MONSTER MICROFIBER JUMBO ABSORBER $9.99 for three seemed...

I'm looking for a high-quality MF to use on my own car (Lexus GS430). Currently, I'm using some older Cobras that I bought probably 6 years ago from PAC. They do a nice job, but really are not as plush as I would like them to be. The only thing I'll be doing with these is...

So I went trolling in the local Big Lots and stumbled across a small display of 3M Performance Finish ( #30930) priced at a whopping $3. I've never used it, but a friend of mine did and reported fairly good results on a car that sits outside in FL 24x7. Of course, I didn't need to buy...

Does anyone have any Poorboy's EX-P or Polish w/Sealant they are looking to sell? Partial bottles are fine -- I don't necessarily need a new one. Thanks in advance! -Ntwrkguy1

Hi all, I remember reading some time ago a few threads about some homemade recipes that rivaled the Spray 'N Wipe product from Poorboys. For some reason, I thought I remember it being QEW + water in a spray bottle, or it could have even been an ounce or two of Meguiar's Gold...

My car has been garaged for the last four days while I've had some time off. Because I can't go more than 24 hours without doing something to it, I've been using Duragloss Aquawax on top of the 105 I laid down last weekend. Is it just me, or does Aquawax have a 'layering' effect? It seems...

I'm getting ready to detail my father-in-law's latest purchase: a one-owner, 1995 Corvette with 49k miles. It's white, with red leather interior. According to my FIL, the paint is 'dirty'(car is in FL, and I'm in NC, but will see it in a week). I'll be using my PC7424, and will have a...

I thought I remembered someone posting one a week or so ago, but I can't find it. I was thinking of getting some of their discounted GC's!

I'm in the mood to try something new on my wife's Indigo Blue Suburban. I've ALWAYS been a huge fan of Klasse AIO (but not necessarily SG), as I feel it does a great job prepping the paint. This vehicle is garaged, and babied, and rarely if ever gets a swirl mark. I've got a few...

I've got some Meguiar's #83 (DACP) and #26 (liquid version of Meguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax) that I'd like to trade. I'm not looking for huge samples (maybe 6-8oz), but was hoping to trade for some of the following: Moose Wax Meguiar's #21 4* UPP

I'm sure they've been gone longer than I realize, but where did the Four Star products disappear to? I had used UPP in the past with great results, and other than being a bit pricey, I thought these were fairly decent products!

Hi All, I've wanted to try some different products, and wanted to know if anyone wants to trade 4 oz. for 4 oz: What I'm looking for: Menzerna Intensive Polish Menzerna Final Polish II Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze Menzerna FMJ Any of the Blackfire line (polish or sealant) 4*...

I did a search on this, but can't find the exact answer I'm looking for. I think I know what it is, but just wanted to confirm. I've used Poorboy's S&W in the past on my own personal cars. They are all highly polished, prepped, etc, and never really get that dirty. I live in NC, and the...

I finally used the last of my Meguiar's APC, and in an effort to clean out my detailing closet, I want to use the gallon of Simple Green I have. Basically, this will be used for cleaning tires and wheels (mostly on my own cars). I wax all my wheels, so I really never get any significant...

Has anyone taken a 1 or 2 week PDR class? I'm looking for feedback on those classes, as I'm debating taking one in the spring (yeah, I know, spring's a long way off, but hey, I like to be prepared!) Thanks, DavidM

I'm in the process (tomorrow) of buying my 16 yr old son his first vehicle -- a black 1997 Nissan Pathfinder SE. Does anyone know of any good Nissan Pathfinder forums? I'm a recent member over at: www.nissanpathfinders.com and have looked at www.nissanforums.com Both are good, but...
