    Aquapel or GTechniq G1?

    I look forward to an update. I love the way the rain runs off a sealed windshield and can't imagine driving on the freeway without it. When big trucks go by and drench your car with water you get blinded for a second without a good sealant on the glass. But in traffic the short little moment...

    Aquapel or GTechniq G1?

    anyone have experience with both? I've used Aquapel before but just wondering if G1 is better. Any difference? All the treatments seem to make it so right after the wiper goes past there is a bit of a light haze to the window. Aquapel doesn't seem to be as bad as rainx, just wondering if...

    Aquapel on house windows

    I mistakenly grabbed the bottle of Stoners Invisible Glass with the rain repellent in it when I was washing the outsides of our windows one time and I really regretted it. Whenever we get a light rain with wind it blows just a little of the rain onto the windows. The repellant then keeps the...

    DO NOT TRADE WITH CarProFreak

    if you shipped UPS or FedX you should be able to do a delivery intercept and have the items brought back to you. you will still be out the shipping charge (plus $11 fee for the intercept) though.

    Bad day at the auto wash

    I love the way it looks like he's holding out his hand going "oh, come on" to the machine as it folds his door back. I wonder if he just felt stupid after it or if he raised hell because their machine messed up his vehicle.

    So I was driving home from work yesterday morning and...

    I've told the story before about the two guys at work that would have their cars 'detailed' once a year. I was looking at the hood on one and commented that they should find someone better that wouldn't leave all those marks on the hood and one replied "That's how you tell it was just detailed"...

    Hand applying Carnauba waxes more and more

    I can't tell which people are talking about 'hand applying' being with just a bare hand and which are talking about it just being with an applicator by hand rather than a DA......

    Sealant and Wax

    If you just want a bit of cleaning up then: BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish, prewax polish, car polish is great before the sealant. It won't take out much but does a nice job of filling and really does look wet. This is with nothing but the gloss enhancing polish:

    Horrible experience with SEARS

    "Didnt think much about it until it got to 4 minutes and 38 seconds. We started to watch it as heard NOT A PEEP from the stockman, and all the sudden the clock stops just under 5 minutes." Yep, they play that game all the time. I've had it happen a lot where next to my name it changes the...

    Don't wash the Challenger!

    when we bought my wife's car recently it was around the time the dealership closes and the salesman was very apologetic in telling me their detail department was closed and they like to detail all the cars before they go. I couldn't have been happier.

    Even My Dog Knows United Parcel Service Sucks!

    for me FedEx home is more hit and miss. They subcontract all the Home deliveries so it is some A/C repair place that moonlights as a delivery place for us. You get what you get with them and it is one step removed from the main companies professionalism in some cases. I'll have FedEx Home...

    'Best' way to remove (or cover) fine scratches in windshield?

    good point. By hand Ceriglass took off decades old waterspots but for the scratches I used the DA with an orange pad. The scratches were super fine ones that only showed when the sun would hit the windshield so I didn't have to use much pressure
