Since this thread was started, at least two new sets of products have hit the market - the PolishAngel line and the Pinnacle Black Label line. Has anyone done a comparison with the above products with these two new lines?

"Best" in the world of cars is highly, highly subjective. We each buy what we think is the best car we can get for the money - but 'best' means different things to different people. For me, the "s" class sleds won't work simply because they won't fit in my garage - they are too long by about 3...

I was aware of "Finest" before I was aware of this forum... I was looking into having my MB properly detailed and came across the gent (who happens to be the only "Finest" authorized guy within 200 miles) and that's where I got the pricing. Turned off by that, I decided that I needed to do the...

I think I understand your point. I simply disagree with what they're doing. From my point of view, I want to put the best products on my car but I'm unwilling to shell out $1,000 to have that done (I AM willing to spend significant time and effort to do it myself...). Not unable - unwilling...

Here's an idea for CarPro: Hold "Cquartz Finest" qualifying and training sessions (at say, DetailFest). These can be paid sessions to ensure that people are serious. During these sessions, you train folks on the product, how to apply, what to look for, how to maintain it, and so on. You can...

I think you misunderstood me - becaues the product cannot be purchased by people like me, I have to go through the authorized installer who charges $700 for the basic detail, another $something for a paint correction, and more $ for Cquartz finest application. I interpret this as having to drop...

On the "about" page for "finest" it says pretty clearly: Exclusivity: Unlike other coatings, Finest cannot be purchased on the open market and is installed by only CarPro Authorized Finest Installers who have honed their skills so they may polish your paint to the highest level before...

That may be the intention, but in my local market there is exactly one detailer that offers "finest" - and his prices start at $700 (for a single-pass detail with no paint correction). They're not selling much product here, as it doesn't look like other detailers are bothering to go through...

I didn't put any coating on my car this time around - only the BF BlackICE wax..... I'd be happy to write up a review!

It's really weird to click on the weather forecast for my area ... at the top - it's 70F right now. And then - there's an advisory box with this in it: WINTER PRECIPITATION AND SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS THURSDAY EVENING INTO FRIDAY. and it will be...

I'm looking at those replacement ones... I wonder how close they are to OEM...

If the rain begins to freeze, I won't drive - I grew up in the north, so I've been taught how to drive in nasty weather - but most of the people here can't understand "ice" or "snow" and try to drive their F250s like they're on a dry racetrack... I'd rather not have to get my car repaired after...

Right - that's what I'm seeing - pitting on the front side in a few places. What did you do to fix it, if anything?

Hi! I did a search for "hood ornament" and "corrosion" and couldn't find anything... so pardon me if this has been covered before. During the detail of my car this weekend, I discovered that the hood emblem on my '10 E550 has some corrosion on it, particularly towards the front. I tried to...

As some say.... if you don't like the weather, wait. It was in the 70's here this past weekend and now there is a freeze warning for this evening and the possibility of some snow or icing conditions. That will all clear up by Monday, of course. If we do get snow, even a light dusting...
