Do you guys think I'll have an issue putting Opti-Coat on my newly purchased travel trailer? I don't want to deal with a big cover on-and-off all the time. The coach is fiberglass. Living in New Mexico, the biggest issue is the intense UV exposure due to high desert conditions. Not much of a...

What happened here? Fizzle Dizzle? Just another Autopia flavor of the month product? Or? I have HD Uno, HD Poxy, and HD Free. All solid products IMHO. Also I see no way to order any bigger sizes like quarts or gallons. I know it was an option before because I have a quart of Uno and...

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I have packrat syndrome and I'm gonna have trouble throwing away a pad that I could probably clean and use again. Lake Country 1 Pad Polishing System, Single Use Pads, One Pad System, one time use buffing pad, Lake Country buffing pads Check the Mike...

Just got an email from ADS saying they have this new product in stock. I did a quick search and didn't find anything here on Autopia. Anybody got the scoop on this stuff? Gonna head over to the Megs forums and see if there is any info there. I love DG AW and OCW. If this product exceeds...

I was watching XXX a couple night ago on Starz. That purple GTO in the movie IS HOLOGRAM CITY!!! It's the scene right after he shoots the cop with the red dart. I'll never look at cars the same way again! Thanks Autopia!!!! :goodjob

I'm getting pretty good with detailing in general but I have one thing that I can't seem to do "right": Metal. I've been through a few metal OTC products and none have produced the results that I'm looking for. Perhaps I'm expecting too much but I'd like to think I can turn any metal...

Hi guys I haven't been on Autopia much this year but I wanted to share my experience with a new item I found at my local Sams club. It seems to be a seasonal item so get it while it's hot. Sam's Club - Fireman's Nozzle This nozzle is super heavy duty and is by far the best I've ever...

Almost pulled the trigger on these last night when I placed a AG order. I decided I'd hear some feedback first from our Optimum experts. So what's the verdict? Does OC2 now rival M105? Is OP2 better than 106FF?

My next big purchase is going to be a real pad washing system (then a PTG!!). I know everybody swears by using DPD for pad cleaning but as a big rotary+wool user I'm exicted to try a real pad washing system. I'm constantly using the duo-spur on my wool pads and it does a decent job through the...

How are you guys getting this stuff out of the container? This container is more square than standard gallon containers and for whatever reason I can't seem to get this stuff to pour out without it running down the side and wasting a bunch of product. Granted my work bench has a nice gloss to...

So what's the go-to product for polishing out micro-scratches/marring from sportbike plastic fairings? I've tried M105 and D151 via pneumatic 3" polisher w/o success (I used 3.5" PFW and LC Orange, no dice). My next try will be using my rotary with a 2 3/4" BP but perhaps I'm using the wrong...

Anybody used any of these products before? Your Best Source for all your Car, RV, Marine, and Home, Cleaners, Polishes, Waxes and Protectors! A co-worker went to the state fair and bought a pint bottle of the car-tech polish. CAR-TECH POLISH [2W0574] - $14.95 : Your Best Source for all...

I'm having trouble figuing out what is the best BP to use for 5.25" pads. AG has a 4 7/8" but that seems too big (< 1/4" overhang). I've seen a 4" BP at DD but that seems too small (5/8" over hang). From what I'm heard it's ideal to have ~ 1/2" overhang so I guess 5/8" is close enough...

Hey what's up with everybody using foam instead of polishing with wool? I'm thinking about buying some Presta wool pads and noticed they sell Black (heavy), Yellow (Polish/Light Cut), Green (Polishing), Blue (Finishing)...all WOOL pads! Never seen a wool finishing pad before! So what's the...

Hey folks I'm planning on placing an order with Autogeek this weekend and I'm looking for a heavy hitting compound to round out my order. I'm wondering what product(s) are known to have the most cut? I already own a few great compounds but I'm looking for something that hits harder. I...

I've finally gotten the results I'm looking for (perfection!) but I can't seem to keep from scratching/marring my perfected surface. It seems the clear on my car is very soft. I've been trying not to touch the surface until I'm ready to do a LSP but sometimes there's too much residue from the...
