Already own a Dewalt and Flex PE 8 rotary polishers for boat(occasional car usage) Looking to see which of the two would be best to use primarily for just general car polishing. Any heavy defects I will use one of my rotary tools. Any input is appreciated! Good to be back on the forums again!

Been a long time since I have posted on these forums. I thank Autopia for showing me the light on keeping my ride clean as can be. With my new car ride(Yes another sporty honda manual :)), I look to continue my ocd detailing habits.

Been out of the game for awhile. Been using my little shop-vac for carpet cleaning. I realize though, that it doesn't have the strength to pick up dirt like my dyson vaccum does for the home carpet. Wondering what vaccums you guys are using that have better efficiency at picking dirt up...

Let me know what you got.

This stuff doesn't stop. I usually have a eaay time detailing boats, but this spider poop is a big pain in the *** to remove. I still had areas which were untouched and couldn't be removed. Here's what I did: wash with dawn soap(whole boat) used a hard bristle brush and some krazy...

Yes I know, I have been here years upon years, and have done a search, but I have never really needed to clean my car's carpet until now. My carpet isn't stained, just needs a general cleaning. What product can I pick up locally at advance, murrays auto parts, or homemade product that would...

I got $500 bucks for my birthday towards a computer from my rents on monday. My question is, what can I afford around that price range and what should I get? I definitely want the athlon 64 bit processor, but I dont know what else to piece together. I would like to keep the cost under $700...

If you think im kidding, this is not a joke. Porter cable was bought out by black and decker(they make dewalt), so they are either going to get rid of pc, or cheapen them up. The best advice i can say is to noobies, " Get your pc now while the pc quality is still there."

Ok guys, last year I used collinite fleetwax on the bottom, and it seemed to do pretty good. However, this year Im thinking about using the klasse twins on the bottom and #16. The jetski will be sitting on the hoist all summer, so the hull wont get washed as much(though I plan to sometimes)...

Just finished up about 1:00, been working on it the past 3 days. Got a treatment of 3m finesse it 2 with a yellow cutting pad and the rotary, followed up with #885 collinite super heavy duty paste wax. Heres some pics:

Did this about a month ago, just was too lazy to upload the pics. Used Westleys concentrated cleaner and degreaser, and meguiars natural shine.

Just received my application today, looking to do it this weekend. Ok, I got the instructions down, but heres a question for ppl that have applied it: Do you have to use paper towel during the removal, and should i put the defroster on to heat the windshield up besides heating up the garage for...

Ok guys, what do you use on cleaning your windshield wipers(glass cleaner, rubber and vinyl cleaner, etc...) and do you apply a coat of rubber protectant like 303 on afterwards?

Well guys, I detailed my uncles silver focus last end of july with 2 coats of #20, and i just saw it today in the rain, and it still beads(bigger, but still does). Didn't test slickness(obviously bc i dont want to scratch it), but it still looks good on the beading part.

Anyone have any reviews on this product? I have to think of an xmas present for my car for the winter, and I already have winter floormats.:)

Ok guys, what can I use to clean the vinyl inside my car with? I was thinking of using car wash, or even dawn diluted to clean it. I know a lot of ppl use the car vinyl cleaners like #39, #40, lexol vinyl cleaner and such, but I do not feel like spending anymore $$$ on stuff when I have the...

Ok guys, me and my dad are going to be looking for a sports car to rebuild in a couple years, and Ive narrowed it down to the 94-98 mustang gt and the 94-97 trans am and formula(either has to be a manual transmission, not an auto). Out of these two cars, which one would you get and why? #2...

Apparently, 1z says that polymer sealants like klasse aio and sg(my fav. combo), and zaino are harmful to the paint by letting it not breath. If any of you(and I know ppl have used klasse for years) experienced any problems with polymer sealants, or is information like this just bs to promote...

Ok, its an old thread topic, but, what do you store your clay in after your done with it? Ive used ziplock bags with a few shots of qd to keep it from sticking, but is there a better way to store clay instead of using a ziploc bag?

Ok guys, Im looking to get a duster for my car as I cannot allocate the time to wash or qd everyday, but i would like to get the usual dust off everyday I come home b4 the dew sets in so I can keep my car a bit cleaner. Back on topic, I compared both the cali car duster and the turtle wax...
