    What happened to XMT 180 ? Is there a replacement ?

    I loved using this stuff as my final. I guess it's no longer available. Was there a replacement ? If not, what have you guys that have been big fans of the stuff using now? Thanks, Don

    Can wax or glaze lessen the durability of sealant?

    I understand. My reply was based on Duragloss product line and talking with their lead person in the research lab (Jerry). I have to assume he's more up on that product than us... but again, this was in regards to the Duragloss line, no others. I am going to take him at his word and do the whole...

    Can wax or glaze lessen the durability of sealant?

    It kind of depends on your products too. I spoke with Jerry in the Duragloss lab and he suggests NOT topping their 501 or 105 sealants/poishes with carnuba. He said that the base oils in many of the carnubas can actually compromise the polys in his product and detract from it's longevity. If you...

    Duragloss - What order/combo ?

    Still kind of wondering. Are you suggesting that the PB AW is good as a stand alone wax after I do the 105? Put this on in lieu of the carnauba?

    Duragloss - What order/combo ?

    I ordered the AW too, but I assumed that was more like a quick detailer to keep the polish up. Are you suggesting that after finishing up with the 105 that I use the AW instead of the Souveran?

    Duragloss - What order/combo ?

    Folks, After TONS of research I have decided to go with the Duragloss line. I've ordered the 501, 601 and 105. I was going in this order: Wash/Dry Clay 501/remove 601/leave on, followed immediately with 105 Remove both Optionally followed by Souveran (not sure I'll do this) I read...

    Help removing grease from seatbelt straps

    My interior color is light tan. On the passenger side, it appears the previous owner got the upper shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt shut in the door several times, leaving grease smudges all over the belt where it was closed in the jam/latch area. I've tried simple green, other misc...

    Advice before I buy

    So you'd wash the whole rig first, then say, swipe the hood with the wash mit/soap and clay bar that area, rinse, move to the next area, etc? That's OK to do? Not a problem using the water solution as the lube for the bar? Thanks for the input!!!!

    Advice before I buy

    Posted earlier on detailing the '95 Cherokee that has some moderate scratches and lots of swirl marks. I've spent tons of time on here researching my plan of attack and wanted to run it by you folks before I purchase. My thoughts were: 1). Wash/Dry 2). Clay bar 3). XMT #3 with Lake Country...

    Scratches and swirls

    Working on a '95 Cherokee that has alot of swirl marks as well as some pretty good scratches on the upper surfaces. Scratches look like they may have been caused by some bad washing habits (gravel in mit maybe?). Anyway, I am looking into a Porter Cable buffer and was wondering what you folks in...
