I used it. It was fine. Not quite as shiny nor quite as durable as the better products sold here. Good enough. There's something to be said for heading down to Autozone and getting your stuff.

As the proud owner of a high-dollar Flex polisher---I think they are unnecessary if your car's finish is in good condition. Clay barring a car isn't that big of a deal. You don't need to nanoskin with a machine. These days they have very durable sealants that don't even need to be wiped on...

Very good work under extreme circumstances. PS: I wonder who thought it was a good idea to put bone-white upholstery in a car?

Very pleased with the durability of the Collinite pastewax, 476. It's on top of Chemical Guys EZ Creme glaze, if that makes a difference. In my opinion, there are quite a few durable, quality products out there. The real issues are price and ease of use. For example, I think that the...

After nearly a year and 30+ rinseless washes with Duragloss, it seems a little dull, with a wax buildup.

I don't want to use abrasives unless it's necessary to correct scratches What kind of all purpose cleaner do you guys recommend? First choice is over-the-counter. Second choice is cheap mail order.

Thanks you you guys I have Collinite paste wax and bi-weekly sessions with Duragloss rinseless on my car, that cling to the finish like a free-climber to the side of El Capitan. Now it's springtime. How do I get this stuff off? I know that Dawn doesn't work. I've tried. At least it...

"Doing it to avoid their family" That's no joke. I'm of the school that this would be counterproductive. Just as a matter of horse sense, applying considerable rubbing pressure to the paint on a weekly basis is going to wear the paint, no matter how good you are and how high a quality...

Right now, new cars are a better deal, especially when you take into account the lower interest rate you pay on a new car. What do I look for in a used car? Massive, yet unjustified depreciation.

I don't want that superfund stuff on my driveway. I want to go to the coin op and do it. [I'm not planning on "detailing" my engine. Merely clean it a bit and put some protectant on the hoses]. Coin-op is 3.5 miles away. Is that too much driving to do before the wash? When I went today...

Of course it's a losing battle. If nothing else, your car will eventually get in a scrape and that will be that. Entropy always wins. Several years ago, I noticed a very attractive, dark haired middle-aged woman on a hiking trail. I recognized her as a famous movie actress from the 1960's...

Very astute. Comments here are too. May I chime in? Know your limitations. Trust me: you don't want me to bleed your brakes unless you are trying to kill your wife. The older I get the less reasonable it seems to park the car on a set of 15 year old plastic ramps to save 15 bucks on an oil...

I dunno. I just pour my leftover solution into the washing machine with the dirty towels. I figure the stuff is formulated to attack the dirt that on cars. Plus its already on the dirty towels so it can't hurt. Of course I use regular detergent too.

I learned a long time ago that limiting your pit stops is the key to rapid travel. Its pretty hard to make up that extra 5 minutes you spent at the gas station. Anyway, don't forget the "Waze" app for your smart phone. The users mark the position of the police (if they are stationary). So...

Salt is pretty inert. So anything calling itself salt neutralizer or some similar name is presumptively nonsense. That said, people with boats really like "Salt Away" It's some fairly common chemical like TSP and some other proprietary protectants. Very short term whatever they may be...
