    Nitrogen in tires?

    I've never heard this one...when comparing prices between the lower cost stations like Racetrack or QT (who use ethanol) they are some 25 cents cheaper than the name brand Shells, Texacos and Chevrons near my home. I get about 25mpg and 30 on the road in a Audi A6 quattro 6-cylinder. Also, not...

    Times Using Rinseless Wash vs. Car Shampoos?

    Since becoming a convert to the ONR type washing, my once beloved DG 902 car shampoo sits in the garage untouched...My car doesn't get that dirty and it's just so much easier, quicker and saves water. Just curious what everyone in here use the most? Although those foam guns sure look fun!

    Best/Worst Car Options

    keyless is walking up to the car with fob in your pocket. it automatically unlocks the door when you touch the door handle and you then press a button to start the engine...at least that's what i was referring to.

    Best/Worst Car Options

    used it several times on my wife's car. just seems like a waste. still have to open the door latch and the keyfob already automatically unlocks the door... probably should be more specific--options i'm willing to pay for versus just fine living without it--and the cost these are items i've...

    Best/Worst Car Options

    After driving a basic loaner yesterday I decided there are several car options that I must have to enhance my driving experience. It was actually deflating driving the loaner and couldn't wait to get my ride back. Getting high-maintenance in my old age... Also some that I don't or not sure...

    Black vs. Silver

    Been into detailing since picking up an Audi year and half ago (thank you AG). It's always a pleasure and rewarding working on nice paint. The silver metallic looks great in low-light conditions (love the dusk). But I've always been envious of the remarkable reflections by the click and brag...

    Manzerna problem

    you could try the wolfgang 3.0 total swirl remover and 3.0 finishing glaze. just did it with a pc on hard audi paint. worked well with a 4 inch orange pad for the tsr and 5.5 white for the glaze. took two passes with the tsr to remove all the stubborn scratches. added bonus is it doesn't dust as...

    New Wolfgang 3.0 Twins Review

    The lovely Meghan sent me out the Wolfgang 3.0 Total Swirl Remover and Finishing Glaze to test and review. Thank you Meghan. Quick background; have an '07 Audi with silver metallic paint. Very hard clearcoat. Have tried OP but didn't cut through the swirls or light scratches enough at least...

    Which one to get

    Why the Pinnacle and not the Wolfgang 3.0 twins? Just received a sample from Meghan (thank you very much) but won't have a chance to use it until next weekend. Anxious to compare it to OP--which didn't budge the Audi paint much with an orange pad and PC...

    New Reformulated Wolfgang polishes!

    And, that it would work as well as Menzerna on real hard clear coats like Audi? Love to read a side by side test on that.

    Opti-Seal vs. others

    it's a glaze with some acrylic properties. it allows you to put a sealant or nuba over or under dwg... pretty good stuff too. easy wowo. best to wait 30 minutes after removal before topping with another dwg layer or other lsp.

    Need advice - film on windshield

    I've used DG 501 with an orange pad with great success. Leaves the windshield crystal clear and smooth.

    Making Silver POP!

    Tend to like DG 501 then a sealant or glaze over wax on silver--especially metallic flake. IMHO, wax tends to mute flakes to my eyes while sealants/glazes brighten them. Remember, wax's inherent ability is a "warm" look that looks wonderful on dark colors but hardly "pops" flakes...again at...

    Menzerna--"my Opinion"

    Thanks much. Kinda figured that but looked like from the description that Wolfgang was a combo of 106ff and their glaze. Boy the term glazes might be the most confusing one in detailing right now.

    Menzerna--"my Opinion"

    So are they essentially the same thing? I read that its a combo of Wolfgang Glaze and 106ff...Other than the size does someone have experience comparing the two? Thanks much in advance.

    Menzerna--"my Opinion"

    is there any place to buy a smaller bottle of 106ff than the 32oz size? it would take me forever to use up the 32oz bottle just doing my car twice a year...
