and the criteria of what was to be done was strictly based on quality and not price, what would you want done? Any brand preferences on paint? Can good paint shops do clear coats as well as the manufacturers? What would you expect to pay for a high quality job? Any information...

Has anybody gone really nuts with multiple coats of SG? I have 3 on my Touareg now with 8 coats on the hood and front bumper. Is there a point of diminishing returns? What have your experiences been with using many coats of SG?

There is one thing that I always wear when I'm detailing and that's my rubber soled Birkenstocks because I love wearing Birkies when I'm at home but the leather ones shouldn't get wet. Anyways it just made me wonder what your favorite detailing apparel consisted of. Anyone?

I had a little QDing to do today on my Klassed SG x5 truck. So I decided to try a simple test. I did one half of the hood with FI and the other with Mother's Showtime QD. The method was identical for each product. I've panned the Mother's in the past in favor of the FI and I like the smell...

My neighbors two doors down own a red Mazda RX7 Turbo. I don't know what year it is but I'd guess around '90. Well my neighbor is limited physically and unable to put the work into bringing this car back to life so I volunteered to help out today. The red paint was oxidized. On a scale of...

I'm considering purchasing a Whipple supercharger for my V10 Superduty. Does anyone have experience with aftermarket superchargers in general or Whipple in particular? Any advice? Thanks <em class='bbc'>clic pic[/i]

This hasn't been an issue in the past I guess purely because of cost. However when my Souveran loses chunks of product from the uppermost inside edge of the wax inside the container I get more concerned. Part of the problem imo is the diameter of the can is too small. Because it is smaller...

I've been spending a lot more time on the road lately and anticipate that it will continue. I've been using the heck out of the six disc CD changer and have been wondering about this new XM which is music downloaded from a satellite. It is a subscription service and has <strong...

I have used Klasse AIO and SG on six vehicles now. All but one of them, mine, received just one coat of SG. Of the cars that got one coat of SG the first was done on Thanksgiving. It is a daily driver that is garaged at night. Three months later and it still beads up really well on the...

Whatcha workin' on this weekend?? I've got the paint looking good on my vehicles but the carpet on my daily driver truck needs some attention and new floor mats. <em class='bbc'>clic pic[/i]

Over the last several months I've been collecting MF towels and frankly I'm glad I didn't start off buying 50 of them because the prices have been dropping precipitously. Nick just found some in a grocery store for $3.50 each. Today I found Viper MF towels in my local autoparts store for $16 a...

For those of you who like to put a layer of wax on top of Klasse I have a question. I've used a layer of wax over the top of multiple layers of SG what should I do now that I want to layer on more SG. Would a Dawn wash take off the wax and allow me to start laying down more SG? How do you...

There I was utterly confused and pathetic, just trying to find 6 little items on my honey do list, in the grocery store. When serendipity struck and I wandered waist deep into the soap isle. Hmm what's that I thought as I spied the multihued soaps and packages. It's a new kinda Dawn...

What do you use for trouble spots like tar, insects, bird bombs and unknown road spuge? I learned something new yesterday. I got home after a nice drive and noticed a dime sized bird bomb on the passenger side. I used Meguiar's FI to moisten then wiped the offensive little turd off of my black...

You know what they say about black cars, it's true they show everything. If my car is spotless and I take it out for a couple of hours drive it isn't spotless anymore. In fact sometimes is alarming how much dust has accumlated on the back quarters and rear end of the car. Not to mention bug...

Wondering what you all like to use for interior detail? Here are a couple of things that I use to make it easier to dust and dress airvents and tight spots. For applying dressing I use the densest foam brush I can find because it will lay down a smoother layer of dressing than an airy flexible...

I'm waiting for delivery of Souveran and PPCL and I just noticed that the price went back up to $69.95. I saved $50 on my order of one Souveran and two PPCLs by ordering when I did. It pays to be an Autopian! A week ago I used SMR on the car with the PC followed by one coat of liquid 3M...

Yesterday My Truck got the full Klasse treatment. It was a big job and all was going well until the last step of wipeing off the SG. What a royal PITA! I thought I was going to dent some of the panels from pressing so hard while trying to wipe off the SG. I used a PC and a yellow foam pad to...
