    1998 Honda super hawk

    I have had good luck with Amazing Roll Off on engines, and have used S100 at my previous shop. But would go with Roll Off given the choice.

    1998 Honda super hawk

    I've had luck on my '88 Magna with Flitz on a yellow applicator pad. Most of Honda's aluminum was clear coated, but if someone stripped it to polish, it's going to take some elbow grease to get it to shine again. Mother's is another good choice. I used aircraft remover to strip the stator...

    Which Clay Mitt?

    I can only speak to Nanoskin, but I have used the sponges, mitt, and DA synthetic clay pads from them. All are top notch and perform very well. Of all of them, I use the mitt the most during washes. But the DA pad got some IMPOSSIBLE tar off the hood of my mother's Lincoln. I have the velcro pad...

    What are your mantras to get you through anxiety, panic, stress or despair?

    I second the motorcycle ride. But when my back injury, or the weather won't allow for it, I simply use the mantra I learned while working in Information Technology. I walk into the bathroom, splash some cool water on my face, look deep into the mirror, and quietly repeat to myself... "Fools...

    Help with Waterless Wash: Wolfgang vs Blackfire vs Pinnacle vs Ultima

    I'm a big fan of Wolfgang Uber as it doesn't leave anything behind. There is usually a gallon pre-mixed in my garage. I use Sonax PNS on my daily, and will use Sonax Brilliant Shine as a drying aid when I do a two bucket wash, or to get bird bombs off of it. But use the WG in between regular...

    How many here are still using the Porter Cable DA?

    I have the Porter Cable 7424XP, but now that I'm getting better with correction, I'm going to pick up a Griot's 6 inch. I had planned to sell the 7424, but after reading this thread, I'm going to put a 3 inch plate on it and keep it.

    New to engine detailing

    I have to recommend Amazing Roll Off. I did the engine on Mom's Lincoln with it. Light hosing of the engine, sprayed Amazing Roll Off, let it dwell for a minute or so, hosed off, blow dry. No agitation, no dressing. The pictures speak for themselves. Before After Love that stuff!
