    Coatings, schmoatings: 100% carnauba wax shine!

    Hard to beat the low end torque of the Chevrolet LT engine. I like the sound the mustang coyote makes but I'm not wanting to get over 6000 rpm before I appreciate it. The LT1 is cheaper to build, much larger with fewer moving parts, is lighter, and makes good power in all rpm ranges. The Camaro...

    What actually happens when you top a ceramic coating with a wax or sealant?

    The guys applying a wax or sealant over a coating know they are wasting money and time and in some cases even compromising the coating's advantages. Plus it's worse than that....to maintain a show car shine, paint should be polished at least once a year and preferably twice even if it's a...

    Senate GOP moves forward on health care bill in dramatic procedural vote

    McCains position is that even a lousy bill deserves to be debated so that everybody gets their shot to make amendments. In no way would this bill pass in its present form. The house would reject it as written even if it got that far and passed the senate. It's DOA but will be debated...

    Polishing Helps to Clean Paint

    The fact that if you want the car looking showroom quality the multi year claims by coatings is irrelevant because the car should be polished at least once a year. I do mine spring and fall religiously and have gone away from coatings on my own car. I can get 6 months easy out of a good sealant...

    Microfiber Detergent is it really necessary?

    In 20 years I've never used a dedicated MF towel cleaning product. All free and clear packets plus white distilled vinegar as the softener work perfectly every darn time.

    Fuzion durability and maintenance?

    I polish 2x a year in spring and fall with HD speed. I top with FK1000p in fall and Fuzion in the spring. Then D156 year round after every wash

    Fuzion durability and maintenance?

    Durability of any LSP is determined by many variables from prep to technique to environment. I've had LSPs last twice as long as I expected and half as long as I expected. By "expected" I'm referring to manufacturers claims. My default crutch is to hit the car with D156 after every wash making...

    UMR = Uniform Material Removal - Removing the same amount of paint when doing correction work for a uniform appearance

    I think if people could see the paint under a microscope after polishing they'd be sick. Just imagine the Rocky Mountains. Not changing out pads enough, too much or too little overlap, speed and arm speed differences, user fatigue, etc ...all add up to the Rocky Mountain highs and lows. We think...

    what's one product that has impressed you (lately)?

    Megs hit another homer with ultimate fast finish.

    Fuzion durability and maintenance?

    I've read at least a thousand threads over the years asking how long some LSP lasts and I chuckle every time because the answer is ALWAYS... it depends.

    What can I top HD Speed with?

    Speed + FK1000p is also a great combo. FK1000 is as close to a coating as a non coating can be at $18 a tin will last years. It self cleans, and sheets as good as any coating I've used on my own car and I've tried several coatings. It looks amazing on lighter colors and not just dark ones. It...

    What can I top HD Speed with?

    Leaving speed on the paint for at least 20 minutes substantially increases the longevity. Never ever wipe it right off after you finish a section.

    Can I follow up D301 with Colinite 476 or 845?

    Follow with Collinite. No problem.

    Best/favorite all in one?

    They call it "speed" for a reason. And it seriously looks incredible. You can prolong LSP indefinitely with wash n wax or spray waxes. Longevity is a moot point for me on my own car.

    Best/favorite all in one?

    Who cares whether something has fillers? I don't hear anybody complaining that Carpro Essence fills! The HD Speed product is incredible. Period. You want more longevity? Then wash every week with a wash and wax rinseless product. Done. Or hit it once a month with D156. Done.

    HD SPEED Meets F-150

    For $15 for 16 oz, HD speed has to be on the all time detailing best bang for the buck list.

    Ultima Acrylic waterless wash

    The gloss is off the charts but even better and I know this sounds crazy... the car stays much cleaner. I used it yesterday and drove through two rain storms today. You'd never know the car was in the rain. No spots, no splash marks on the side panels. Nothing. I used to fret whenever it rained...
