I built my own 3 car detached garage with loft about a year ago by myself, it took me a little over a year to complete. I did all the work myself except the concrete, brickwork, roofing shingles and the gutters. I also only fell off the roof once....really.

Why does it take Harbor Freight soooo long to ship orders? This is the second time I've ordered from them and the first order took over three weeks to get. I'm still waiting for my second order and it is over two weeks already. :nixweiss

I want to detail my shower door and shower with my PC but I'm looking for suggestions as to what to use. I tried some AIO with a yellow pad and it helped a little but didn't really get all the deposits and soap scum out even after a couple of applications. What else should I try?

The tree pollen has been pretty bad around here for the past couple of weeks.the My car has been sitting in the garage but it still collects pollen. I've been wiping it down with a microfiber and detail spray. Can I scratch my finish by wiping the pollen off?

I'm just luvin' my AIO and how it works on plastics! No fake, temporary sticky coatings like some other vinyl "cleaners" / "rejuvenators" just real cleaning and polishing of plastics, vinyls and glass. :bounce

I won some Z-2 Pro, Z-1 Polish Lok, Z-7 Car Wash and Z-6 Gloss Enhancer at an Auto show last week. However, there wasn't any ZFX in the package. Can I use the Z-2 Pro without the ZFX Additive? I've never used Zaino before and would like to try it out.

I went to the Auto show here in Charlotte today in the Porsche club section and came home with some free Zaino products. I didn't win anything, I guess that they just pulled my name out of a hat. :xyxthumbs It was actuallly better that winning first place in my category because those guys just...

I've been using AIO but I'm curious as to how Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant stacks up agains AIO. Has anyone used both?

Has anyone used the new 3M product ...Perfect-It 3000? It's supposed to be a replacement for Perfect-It III - to comply with the V.O.C. regulations. The Menzerna IP that I used previously didn't quite do the job to remove some nasty etching and stains from my paintjob so I'm going to try this...

I purchased this '94 Caravan back in '99 and the only problem that I've had with it has been the transmission. It's been rebuilt for the second time a couple of years ago and hopefully for the last time. It's really very reliable now. It's kind of the workhorse in the family. :D Unfortunately...

Before applying a LSP like NXT, FMJ, Zaino etc... do you need to apply anything after polishing. So far on my first detail I did Wash, clay, IP, FP, AIO and finished with NXT. I got pretty good results but I want to know if the AIO is really necessary? Are there alternative products other...

I've had my new PC since Christmas but haven't used it yet to completely detail my car. The weather here today was spring-like so here's what I did: 1. Wash & clay car with Mothers Gold bar. 2. IP with Yellow propel pad @ 4 ( I sprayed the surface with distilled water while working in...

OK, my work truck is a '99 and I think that I may have waxed it once or twice since I bought it "new" in Jan of '99. :eek: Since it's just a work van, I decided to use a can ot Turtle wax that I had in my garage. It cleaned up a lot of the tar and stains on the paint, and it actually looks...

Is there a difference between the modeling clay that crafts people use and detailing clay. Could modeling clay be used to detail a car?.....just curious.

After reading all about claying, I've been itching to tackle my car but I've either been too busy working or it's been too cold. Well today I got back home early while it was still light out and the temperatures were around 45-50F, so I decided to do it. Here's the steps I did so far: Wash...

I've been reading and doing some research on the forum here and I think that I've decided on some products to use. My Black 1987 Porsche looks good but when you get up close in the sunlight there are loads of swirls and small scratches. I started to use Turtle white compound on it with my new...

I was anxious to use my new Christmas present but unfortunately I tried all the typical auto stores around here and I couldn't find any backing plates or pads anywhere. Most of the guys didn't know what I was talking about. :o Frustrated, I went home and decided to use the white pad that was...

I picked up a new PC7336 at Lowe's the other day and I'm looking to detail my first car with it very soon. I understand that it's not advisable to use the included pad that comes with the PC. My son just finished cleaning up his 1991 Firebird with Meguiar's Deep Crystal cleaning kit ( paint...
