    SON1C Wax ProtoFoam Snow Foam - Wash & Wax - Cleanser - Maintenance

    Very cool Drew. I hope that they all will be formulated to work in foam guns, in addition to your foam cannons. I think that many more people own foam guns, and while many think they are unnecessary, many enthusiasts enjoy using them and the cost is significantly less than a lance and pressure...

    MF Madness Mitt, sponge, or pad?

    I agree 100%. My two main mitts are the CarPro Wool Mitt and the MF Madness Mitt. I use them for different tasks. I find I use wool more often with MF being used for the real dirty times. Some use wool for the upper panels and MF for the lower. Different mitts not only exist because of...

    Black exterior trim

    If you want something permeant, I would go with either CarPro DLux or GTechniq C4. I've used them both and they are great. If you want a dressing, I would go with Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus (UTTG). It is the longest lasting and has a nice, matte finish. Others really like CarPro PERL...

    Meguiars vs Scholl?

    I know a lot of people that have switched all of their polishes to Scholl's. I haven't used them yet, but all of the Scholl's products that I have used have been fantastic. In fact, many preferred Scholl's over Menzerna, which are my favorite polishes. I think you'll be happy with both, but I...

    Windshield Protection

    I've had great luck with GTechniq G1. Here's a review from Todd Helme, in which he comments 15 months later that it is still performing like day 1. Based on that testimonial, I bought it and am very happy with it. Seal your glass for up to 30k miles with Gtechniq G1! - Autopia Forums - Auto...

    Failing LC backing plate system

    I've read this quite a few times, unfortunately. I'm sorry that you're having this problem. What I would do is just purchase each individual backing plate rather than the interchangeable system. It's a bit more of a pain to change the backing plate over the interchangeable system (which is made...

    Extra Clearcoat. Would You Buy It As A Factory Applied Option?

    Heck yeah I would buy it, assuming they would sand the orange peel out. I would hate to pick up a new car with orange peel. I know that most would just sand, cut, and buff it out but since I don't have the experience with sanding (or rotary application, for that matter), I would want it to come...

    CarPro PERL how do YOU apply it?

    I apply it with an applicator. I also apply it straight (not cut with distilled water). What I will do is take the applicator, tire swipe, grout sponge, etc. and pour the PERL on it, then swipe it on the tire. Even it out, let it dry, then sit back and admire! Happy detailing.

    Utilizing the "Smack Technique" on the PE14

    Mike... I've said it once and I'll say it again... We need a Smack Book. All of your Smack Techniques bound (or e-bound, if it is a ebook) for all to see. I know we would all love it, but since they're on this forum and (hopefully) live forever, I suppose it is just as good. Thanks for the...

    Some Blackfire BlackIce

    Wow! You sure made her shine! If I needed a wax for my black I would be hard pressed not to consider BlackFire BlackICE, especially after seeing this. Thanks for sharing!

    Cleaning Microfiber towels

    Currently, I use microfiber detergent for my "nice" or "good" microfiber towels, but I use " free and clear" detergents, which you can find at any grocery store (it's made for people with allergies) for my general use microfibers. Honestly, I know a lot of people who just use regular, free &...

    Synergy - can it deliver?

    Absolutely fantastic review, Stuart! What a beautiful car, too! I hope you got to drive it to where you took those fantastic pictures! I would have you take pics anytime! I gotta say that it isn't surprising that it seems more like a sealant in look, but nonetheless it's disappointing since I...

    Best Tire Gloss? Like new car?

    PERL has pretty good durability. I would say it is better than average for a water-based dressing.

    Sonax vs Iron X

    Keep in mind they are different products. One is an iron remover and one is a wheel cleaner. Iron-X's sole job is to remove iron. SONAX removes brake dust and other dirt and grime that is on wheels. You wouldn't use Iron-X as a wheel cleaner. You would have to clean the wheel thoroughly, then...

    Sonax Net Shield over Cquartz?

    I have C1 topped with EXO and can see why you would want something to make CQuartz more "slick". I think you should have no problem topping it with SONAX PNS, especially if you already have it. I see no reason why you shouldn't give it a try. I don't know if Reload will add to the slickness...

    Hard interior plastics

    CarPro PERL is a great product. Personally, I have used Ultima Interior Guard Plus+ because it has longer durability. I made a review on it. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/77180-review-ultima-interior-guard-plus.html I like both product and use them in different ways...

    Best Tire Gloss? Like new car?

    If you like Opti-Bond then I think you'll love CarPro PERL. I now use it as my go-to tire dressing. You can control gloss by the amount of coats. Many really are taking to the permanent tire coatings, such as Tuf Shine. I've never used it but it may be worth checking out if you are into that...
