Yeah that is the one :) I am intrigued to try the Plasmacoat so much so I went ahead and ordered it. I'll try and use it when the temps here get a little cooler (at least below 95) It claims durability of over a year and free of VOCs (all their stuff is eco friendly) and the finish looks great...

You can use a touchless car wash or one of the self serve coin operated washes. I'd stay away from those rotating machines 'swirl & scratch' automatic car washes. I use a self service car wash often and use my own shampoo and just use their water and pressure sprayers. I also do rinse less...

No firsthand experience of ash deposits on car but I'd think ash is non reactive in dry state and can be dusted off. Mix it with water, it can become like cement. How much ash are we talking?

I think most sealants I've checked out has roughly about 6 months durability (though some claim longer durability). Apart from sealant and the ceramic coats, anyone tried true nano coatings? Like Plasma coatings or nano sealant type coatings? I am gonna give them a shot for fall and if they...

Btw, have you tried the Gyeon Iron? That product looks amazing from the videos I've seen and it has raving reviews from detailing buffs in UK & Australia (where Gyeon products have been available longer than here). I was amazed by how efficiently it works and dissolves brake dust and I just...

I used to use Meguiars Hot rims until I tried the Kenotek Wheel cleaner ultra fallout remover. Great product and works as advertised. It is pricier than Megs or other wheel cleaners but you get 1L of product with a great spray. Give it a shot and you will like it (PBMGs sister site carries...

CR makes several weird and odd choices for their picks so I am not sure what they exactly consider their judging criteria as. Nevertheless, they are a well respected consumer agency though like you I don't agree with all their picks on not just cars but everything else as well. In fact I have...

Well when I said there is a better alternative from Honda & Toyota for every Nissan Car, I had their bread and butter cars in mind (i.e the Sentra/Altima/Maxima) but you brought on 370z like you stumped me on the literality of my statement. Toyota and Honda don't make RWD sedans and coupes in...

Not sure if it is sold here but the Korean made Platinum Pluffle and Dry me a river waffle weave are some of the best drying towels I've used. I buy all my microfiber towels from this popular place online and all their korean towels are some of the best.

October :) That is the best time for doing any kind of waxing. I do once in Oct/Nov and once in Mar/Apr. I have a infrared thermometer and when I have tried to take readings of my hood and body in June/Jul, it easily is 200 deg + F. Even the friggin water that comes out of the pipe is over...

You don't want anything with Carnauba in it. Carnauba will be gone in a week in June/July/Aug in AZ. Get a 100% synthetic sealant like Powerlock, M21 etc. I'd put on 2 coats each time, once in early spring (March/Apr) and once in early fall (Oct/Nov). Probably top off every now and then...

I'd have tried it except I hate wash mitts. I am a sponge guy. I never get a comfy feeling putting on one of those thingies to wash the car. A nice big sponge works better for me.

101 by itself may not be sufficient protection but use it as a base layer and cleanse and spiff up the paint and then slap on 111 or any other sealant like Powerlock or M21, it forms a great base layer. I was using 105 until I found out 101 can serve my purpose better. I am pretty impressed...

I like the 101. It has a nice wet look after you remove. I like DG products because they work well, doesn't cost an arm and leg and goes on and comes off easy.

Toyota and Honda don't manufacture an equivalent of Nissan 370z under the Toyota & Honda monikers so it would be a completely meaningless comparison. Toyota does on the Lexus line which would be the RC I am not sure where you are going with this or what you are trying to prove ... Buick and...

Amazon. They have pretty good deals on LED bulbs from multiple vendors. If you are not picky like me for Daylight LED bulbs, then Costco would be a mighty good place for LED bulbs (most LEDs I've seen at Costco are in the 2700K-3000K spectrum which would be soft white)

Lexus is Toyota. Buick would be a GM product and Mercury (do they even make that crap anymore?) was Ford. So bad example. And Nissan has been struggling to sell any 370Z. 7K cars a year is what they sell and they've hardly broken the 10K number once 5 or 6 years ago. So much for a cheap...

Thanks for proving my point. So you've been using 105/111 and the Klasse Twins without knowing what they do? And to answer your question...I'll let you decide that for yourself What buffer do you have?

If you noticed there are two parallel streams on this thread. Join the one that suits your whim :) Thank You and Come Again :)

It is not just Consumer Reports calling the Q50 as a doozy. Pretty much most Car review sites call it 'a car to avoid' Do a google search and due diligence and you will find out for yourself. If not for the Fiat 500, Q50 would be the undisputed 'North American Craptastic Car of the year' for...
