    Looking for a product for the wifes car. Daily driver here in the PNW sees a fair bit of rain and other garbage. Looking for a very durable sealant to use with excellent beading and slickness.

    little preview of my spring cleaning

    decided to clean my truck up after a winters worth of abuse. I hit it with 2 coats of Collinite insulator wax last november, and protection was GONE by january or so. I'm ashamed to admit it, but this is the first real attention my truck has gotten since then. Here is a shot showing some...

    I've seen others post pictures of their detailing supplies in the past so I thought I'd join in. I'm pretty much done restocking for the spring season, I need a few more pads, and a new backing plate (since I just melted my last one) but those are on order and should be in soon. Anyway, on to...

    FK, diff sample than requested?

    I've ordered with FK before and have always had very positive experiences. I wouldn't say this order experience was unpleasant, just not up to par w/ what I had come to expect from them. Previously, my FK orders had always shipped out the next day after my order. This order was ordered on...

    what does colorX leave behind?

    Well I'm about to run out of AIO and I've been hearing a lot about Meg's ColorX as a comparable product that is readily available OTC, and for cheaper to boot. I love the perfect base that AIO leaves behind for LSPs. I'm a sealant guy myself and I'm just checking here to see what ColorX leaves...

    what exactly is 1000p?

    sealant or wax? I see it listed in threads here where people are asking for the most durable sealant, however it is called a 'high temp wax'. In addition, people mention spit shining it w/ 425. However, other members mention the fact that it is layerable. Furthering the confusion FK describes...

    FK 1000p tips?

    Well i just recieved my FK 1000p today. I probably wont get around to using it for another few weeks, but I'm excited for it. Since placing my order I have heard grumbling from a few that I need to 'be careful' with it, but no one outlines exactly what they mean by this. Is it hard to apply...

    my plan of attack

    I bought my new truck towards the end of september, so I never have really had any good detailing weather for it. I've hit it with a few coats of NXT to keep up the protection when the opportunity presents itself, but nothing real special. Anyway, the truck is a very deep metallic dark blue, and...
