I have CG Wet Mirror Finish and have used that under waxes with reasonable satisfaction, but I don't really know if I'm stripping it off cause I really don't know what it is or how it works....? This is a problem i have with CG sealant/waxes/glazes, I'm never quite sure how to best use them or...

It depends entirely on the service/phone setup you go with. On my windows mobile phone (WM is a pretty bad OS, not sure about the new "7"), it was as easy as downloading a 10$ program and syncing blutooth with my macbook. No, it's not seamless but it can be pretty easy. On an iPhone Im pretty...

That's pretty competitive. You will probably be roped into a contract with or without any hardware promotions with virtually all carriers. If you have a close friend or family member that is tech-savy, you could consider a smart-phone plan with unlimited data (this is what I use with sprint)...

I want to be able to offer a sealant + wax package for mobile detailing, but most of my sealants need 4-8+ hours before applying wax to ensure the solvent wax carrier doesn't strip the sealant. What are the best, reasonably-priced sealants that can be applied and top coated in hurry for...

Thanks guys, I will be checking all these out to see what fits the application best. Looking for something paint-safe for the surrounding area. Joel

I'm no expert, but that definitely looks like too much lateral play for a turbo shaft. Can you have the bearings replaced like somebody suggested?

Yeah, I had heard that. So there will be a different Jetta for Europe then? The 2011 jetta gets drum brakes, inferior factory hancook tires, loses independent rear suspension, loses a nice upscale tight-fit/finish and good-feeling solid interior. And like you said, it is terribly bland and...

What are the best 1-step rust converter products available for use when you don't care enough about the project to fix the rust? In other words, what can you spray or paint onto surface rust (not rust-through or severe pitting/flaking) that will stop/slow the rust for more than a few weeks or...

That's great to hear. Thanks for the details. If somebody tests UTTG on diamond alum plate please share how the application goes, I'm sure the results will be great but it might be a little messy to buff clear.

Funny you should mention Kia and VW in the same post. This great looking Optima above was designed by a former director of design at Audi (VW). That's Kia/Hyundai giving the customer exactly what they want and it's hard to argue against the results! On the other hand, the new Jetta is far...

Did your truck's box have a factory clear on it? Sounds like the OP's is probably unprotected if he needed to polish it aggressively. I would think that anything that worked well on polished alloy wheels to prevent oxidation will work wonders for diamond plate, but I don't have experience...

It sounds like you need to skip the scratch-X and learn to clay your car instead. Unless it has spent 10 years under a car cover in a garage, it needs to be clayed very badly. If you notice a lot of swirls under a direct light source (very fine clear coat scratches from washing, driving...

I second that entirely. The pressure washer is a great tool which used properly will help you prevent paint damage. However, a pressure washer should be used in the least aggressive manner necessary to remove abrasive particles that are not bonded or are very lightly adhered to the finish...

Keep us updated on durability please. This looks like a very promising and affordable line of products. It pays to be (or at least appear) greener in this town. Thanks for the write up.

A lot of insurance companies offer this service free to their customers without making a claim. I suppose the strategy is that it saves them money in the long run (especially on low deductibles) and increases customer satisfaction. I'm under the impression this is sort of an industry standard...

How long do the plastic gears that force the rotation generally last (gear in the housing that the backing plate meshes with)? I'm guessing the backing plate gear outlasts the rest of the backing plate? I'm pretty sure the 3401 is going to be my next polisher down the road. I suppose the...

Haha, well yes you make a good point. I've used rust bullet on things like trailers, commercial mowers, etc.

I know this thread has been inactive for a little while but it's now spring and time to start thinking about combating corrosion from last winter. In reference to RUST BULLET: I've used Rust Bullet for a lot of different applications and can tell you that the long term outcome will depend 95%...

You could take some pics if you take her apart for the rest of us. Not sure what kind of speed control the PC uses, but perhaps it's a variable resistor or some sort thats burned out or has a contact problem. That's great that you found a replacement part; im kinda surprised.

Not a proper response to your question but isn't Meg's Ultimate Compound nicely between the 105 and 205 in terms of capability? Not sure if you can get it by the gallon, but it's really a great value otherwise. To most consumers it leaves an acceptable finish, but certainly not going to get...
