    Is Griots Garage 6" a substantial upgrade from PC?

    Hello all. I am an enthusiast detailer and weekend warrior. I bought my PC 10+ years ago and it has served me fine thus far, but I have never needed it for hard paints or serious correction. Light/moderate polishing and LSP application is all I have needed it to do and it is ok for that...

    Simplified my life. Is a small bottle of Collinite 845 available anywhere?

    Hello. Hope everyone is doing great. I haven't posted here in so long that Autopia needed me to update my password when I tried to log in. I used to be a product-crazy detailer, as I am sure you all can relate to. As a result, I accumulated such a vast array of products since 2006 that I never...

    Removing 3M Double-Sided Tape; FRUSTRATED!

    Hi guys. It has been a long time since I've posted here; even the look of the forums has completely changed in the meantime. My problem is this; I recently removed some chrome trim from the gas tank of my new motorcycle. It seems to have been installed with some extremely sticky double-sided...

    Hard Water Spots: Diluted Vinegar to Clean?

    Hi all. Very upset right now. My car got blasted by a sprinkler yesterday at work and I didn't even find out until the drops had fully dried up. This is some serious staining. I tried claying them out; no results. I then used Edge blue pad with IP and my PC; nothing. Moved it up to orange/IP and...

    California Duster Users: Clumpy Threads?

    Just bought a Cali Duster to give it a try as a pre-QD step between full detailing sessions. I plan to keep a very close eye on micro-marring since theoretically, I am not sold that anything that actually touches dust would not allow any marring. Anyway, back to the topic: I bought the wooden...

    Meg's QD in Aerosol?

    Saw this recently at Wal-Mart. It is the old formula, not UQD. Seems like a great idea; should make it easy to get a thin, even mist. Anyone tried it?

    2k6 350z Gt

    Brought the Z out of its winter slumber last month and did a few "standard" details. Last weekend, I decided to break out the as-yet unused PC and polishes and go to town on the car! Didn't have time for too many steps and extensive polishing wasn't needed so I kept it simple. Engine bay and...

    Frustrated. Miss the car too much. Winter sucks...

    Well, that's it in a pinch. I haven't driven my '06 Z GT since mid-December; haven't even started it up to hear the exhaust roar. A wierd thread topic I know, but I am really quite frustrated right now. We don't really ever have a severe winter here in Denver (ski resorts are up in the...

    My Planned List of Products -- PROS PLEASE CRITIQUE!

    Hello all! My first post here after a year of very infrequent browsing. I am a detail nut, which is to say that I have been detailing cars since I was 7, but in a very low-end way. Dad always used turtle wax, so I did as well until NXT came out and have been using that since. I love its shine...
