Just wanted to check and see if there was anything worthwhile at some of the local shops. About all I see is Simple Green, Purple Power and Greased Lightning. Let me know if there's something good. If not, I'll just place another order for Meg's APC+ and Super Degreaser in the sample sizes...

Hey all, Are you still seeing the old microfiber waffle weave towels at Walmart? I was just there today and it seems there are still Microfiber towels in the home section, but I don't think they were really a waffle weave. Looked like they had a little more of a nap to them. Unfortunately...

Hey all, I've been to at least two Target stores locally and neither one is stocking any of the Vroom microfiber towels any more (no orange, blue, green or yellow). Anyone else seeing this at their local stores? Not sure if it's become a summer only item or what...

No, not asking about relabeling! :) I've been a Zaino user for about 10 years now. But we just got a Carquest in town and I'm curious to try some of the Duragloss lineup and see how it compares. For any who have experience with Duragloss, what would you say is the equivalent of ZAIO and...

Hey guys, I'm down to a few finalists and just can't make a decision on what to pull the trigger on. I'm currently deciding between: Leatherique 1Z Leather Care Optimum Protectant Plus In the past, I've tried Leather Masters, Lexol and Z10. Just haven't found something that I've...

Hey all, Just wanted to check and see if anyone could explain how some leather treatments can be effective "all-in-one" solutions? Just curious how a product that is supposed to clean and remove contaminants can at the same time leave adequate protection. I'm no chemist, so I suppose...

Hey all, For those who were disappointed when Wally World stopped carrying the Meguiars Foam Applicator Pads, I wanted to let everyone know that I found them at Bass Pro Shop this weekend in their marine detailing section. They have the four pack for $4.99. I'm gonna stock up! :)

Hey all, Well, after being on the boards for almost a year, I finally got up enough guts to do a C&B on my personal daily driver which also serves double duty as my autocross ride. I've had the car for the last 3 years. It was a two owner. For the most part it was pretty well taken care...

Hey all, My wife picked up another couple of 8 packs of the orange 16"x16" Vroom microfiber towels from Target for my birthday yesterday. Is it just me or have they gotten less plush? Compared side by side with some I picked up even just 6-8 months ago, the new ones don't seem as thick...

Hey all, My sister is looking to get in touch with a Zaino distributor in the Dallas area. If anyone knows of one, please send me their contact info and I'll pass it along. Thanks!

Hey all, I see it mentioned every now and then about priming the pad in order to keep dusting to a minimum with products like Menzerna PO91L and PO85RD 3.01. Am I correct in thinking that this is done by spraying the pad first with a quick detailer and then applying the compound / polish...

The problem below was surfaced from our local autocross forum. I was at a loss myself unless he's put a carnauba or sealant layer on the wheel and the wheel cleaner is stripping it somewhat. I'm waiting to hear back from him on that, but I was curious to hear what you guys thought. Here's...

Hey all, Anyone know of an engine degreaser that won't risk staining aluminum (and might be kind to the paint if there's accidental overspray). Prefer an OTC solution if there is one. Sounds like Simple Green may be out as well as Castrol Purple. Would the S100 Total Cycle Cleaner work...

Hey all, Anyone care to hazard a guess as to why none of the web detailing companies (Autopia, Danase, Autogeek, Properautocare, pakshak and anyone else I may be leaving out) carry the CD-2 brand engine detailer? Everyone who has tried is here seems to love it, but it's impossible to find...

Hey all, I recently got through my first full polish on my '98 silver 328i. I used the PC w/ 5.5" LC white pads and the ZPC that I picked up shortly before Christmas. For those who may have used ZPC and polishes from Optimum and Menzerna, I'm curious to find out how ZPC measures up to any...

Hey all, Just wanted to see if anyone knew of a bail handle from either Porter Cable or any of the other product divisions under Black and Decker that would fit the 7224 / 7336. Thanks!

Hey all, From the rave reviews I've read for Menzerna's PO106FF as a finishing polish, I was interested in trying some. But for $50 for 32oz, I was interesting in finding a smaller size to fit my budget. From what I can gather from searching, the Blackfire SRCFP is essentially Menzerna...

Hello all, Just one quick question... I've heard it said many times that the pad that is included with the Porter Cable isn't suited for automotive finishes. However, I recently saw that properautocare.com has them for sale on their site. I'm curious because I wouldn't think they would...

Hey all, Recently picked up the 7336 from Lowes and have a question about pad selection. Since I intend to use the PC mainly for application of cleaners and polishes, I was wondering which pad I should use with which product. Right now the abrasive/cleaning products that I have are...
