    Re: Got me some AG boxes. Two more orders coming You are going to love that Flex - I see you got the duo. Good choice. Don't drink that Monster stuff, it plays dangerous games with you heart valves and blood pressue. Have a cup of coffee. -Sparty

    Noob got my first shine in. My wife brand new Subie

    Looks great. I like the redesign of that subie. Quick question: I know you were tight on time, but why didn't you put a wax on it after the black light? It is my understanding that you should follow black light with some type of LSP. I am sure the V7 does a good job, but how about its...

    Stains on Volk Wheels

    That sure looks like pitting. Stripping and sanding is what I would do. Then repaint and clear-coat. -Sparty

    Did meguiar's make a mistake??

    Mistake?? I don't think so in terms of "cheapening" their product prestige or value. The only issue might be that some people will buy these off the shelf and not really know how to properly use them. Then those same people my complain that these products are terrible and never buy them again...

    hydro-tech pads with a paste??

    What do you mean by paste? Do you mean a paste wax? If so you can your the Crimson Finishing Foam hydro-tech pad to apply sealants and waxes. Try to be more specific in your posts and the geeks around here can be more than helpful. -Sparty

    My first machine 'detail' attempt.

    See that you park the car in a high traffic industrial area, before your next polish try clay, then Iron X and maybe a paint cleanser. I bet you will be shocked/horrified at the stuff that comes off with the Iron X. It is a lot of work so it seems, but if you enjoy it, then it is a labor of...

    My first machine 'detail' attempt.

    Looks good. You didn't say, but if you didn't clay and then use a paint cleaner, try that next time before the compounding and polishing, you will get a great result. -Sparty

    After 1 wash my paint feels so rough?

    With 3oz. in the foam cannon and then 2oz. in the wash bucket you likely removed the LSP. On Friday, I foamed my wife's car with 3oz. and it stripped the nuba wax, which I wanted to do. I find that foaming usually does strip quite a bit of the LSP, especially at 3oz. Therefore, now I only...

    After a brief discussion with a forum member...

    I provide information to my clients about both Opti-Coat and CQuartz. I made a pamphlet with info on it that details the processes required to prep the vehicle before application of the products. It also directs them to website info about each product. I do not push Opti-Coat and CQuartz. If...

    Philosophical discussion of LSPs

    Agreed! $300+ work means many hours of paint correction alone not to mention meticulous interior detailing including shampoo and leather treatments. -Sparty

    Hot water heater added to pressure washer?

    Unless your pressure washer is built for hot water you can not run hot water through it. If it is gas, the cold water is used to cool the engine pump, usually the same with and electric. If you use hot water your pump or engine will fail. -Sparty

    How do you get white wall tires white again?

    Comet cleanser is the old school method to clean white walls. Not sure how safe it is, but man does it work well. When my father had wide white walls on his Nomad we would mix Comet cleanser with a little water to make a thin paste and then scrub the white walls with it. They come out bright...

    I tried 3 new things...Dr Colorchip, jeweling my paint and Opticoat 2.0...

    Very nice! You made some wise choices with your methods. It is difficult to get soft black paint to jewel that well. Again, great work. -Sparty

    How to remove tire dressing marks from driveway

    Spray a citrus based APC on the stain, agitate with a brush, let it sit a two mins, and then power wash. If your asphalt driveway or concrete driveway is not sealed, it will be much more difficult to remove. -Sparty
