    Menzerna SIP is NOT Blackfire Compound(?!)

    OK, so after a lengthy chat with someone from Classic Motoring Accessories/Proper Auto Care, they claim that Blackfire Compound is *far* more abrasive than SIP and were horrified at the thought that the two products were perceived as interchangeable. So what's the deal? Weren't there some on...

    Menzerna SIP followed with OP?

    I see SIP paired up with 106ff alot. Is 106 required as a followup step for best results, or would OP or O-PoliSeal work just fine after SIP? (PC, and not rotary usage, if it matters)

    FS or FT: Presta Ultra Cutting Creme Light and Optimum Polish

    Hi folks, I just bought a quart of each and won't be able to use it all in my lifetime. The Ultra Cutting Creme *Light* has been getting rave reviews and has been "discovered" more recently, and the Optimum Polish, well, speaks for itself. I also bought a 16oz container, so if anybody...

    Presta Ultra Cutting Creme Light for PC, or Rotary only?

    I saw a post where someone mentioned they wouldn't bother with it on a PC. Anyone use it on a PC with good results, and if so, with what pad? What other products' aggressiveness would you compare it to for PC applications--OC, HTEC, etc? Is it LSP-ready after PC use?

    OptiSeal instead of Collinite 846?

    I'm still getting a handle on the myriad of products and their uses. I understand 845 has incredible longevity of effectiveness. Would OptiSeal be used instead of 845, or used on top of? Under? *confused* eta: correction of Collinite 845, since 846 was made up in my mind :D

    Lowe's completely out of PC 7336?

    I was told by a local Lowe's tool personnel that Lowe's nationwide is out of the 7336 and would not be getting any more in, as Porter Cable is supposedly discontinuing them. I was in the process of ordering a 7336 from the local Lowe's when given this news. Can anyone confirm that their...

    Tips for Miata "Classic Red" (I think SS?)

    I've been introduced to the OCD world of Autopia, and am loving it! I *thought* I knew how to detail cars before, until I stepped in here. Now I have a PC on order! (My wife does NOT thank you guys, but she will once I get her black SUV polished to a mirror-like shine!) Anyway, the...
