    Is this overkill??

    The dealer ran my white Audi through the Tunnel of swirls after I specifically requested no wash. Car was spotless when I brought it in, so I don't even know why they thought it needed a wash at all!! Now I have minor swirls and spiderwebbing all over the car!! When I have used OHC followed by...

    New Technique???

    I just tried my first batch of Natty's Blue on both my Silver Tundra and White A4. I have to say, it looked great!! The Silver on the Tundy never had so much gloss or pop!! However, after applying the Natty's, I did a quick spit shine with my OCW. Both vehicles have great gloss, clarity, and...

    Making your own "touch up leveler"

    I have heard of some people making their own touch up leveler by mixing lacquer thinner and rubbing compound together. I was curious as to how much lacquer thinner to add to the compound and how well it works. TIA!!

    Million Dollar Question of the Day!!!

    Why do I seem to get water spots on the glass, but not nearly as many on the paint?? I dry all at the same time, have similar protection on both, and the paint has none, or very few spots, while the glass needs AIO'd about every 3rd wash??? :think: :nixweiss

    Wheel Wax = Not Impressed

    I ordered some Wheel Wax, applied it to my Audi's wheels, and I have to say, that I'm not at all impressed. :down I applied according to the directions, waited for 24 hours prior to driving, and all I have to say, is I have had better luck using SG x 1 and touching up with Crystal mist after...

    Detailed the Mazda 3

    Detailed our Mazda 3 yesterday. I had been wanting to do this for a while, but it has been difficult as my wife could care less if a car is clean or not. Her opinion is that it is just a car, no more, no less...just a piece of metal. Anyway, her Mazda was last washed on New Years Eve!! Been...
