An EXCELLENT choice! However, in honor of soap and water while washing my car I'm listening to: Little Feat: "Fat Man In The Bathtub" Regards Kaptain" Southern Rock sounds great to this North of the Border guy" Zero. :D

The smell of a boars hair brush can be pretty rank....... One of my boars hair shaving brushes smelled like the hair was clipped from around the tail pipe of said boar. Those shaving brushes are sterilized before sale but the smell....... it does remain. Best thing to do is keep using it often...

The ultimate answer to this question is to do a "test spot". That and only that will tell you what works best for YOUR situation. I've played with my recently arrived UC and SwirlX as I only had ScratchX 2.0 before and was very happy with the speed of correction from UC when used by hand with an...

The process of polishing metal is simple, use abrasives starting from coarse to fine to ultrafine. Ok, that's the simple answer. Like Mike said above, polishing metals is an art as much as it is a science. Most of the polishing is done on high speed polishers which look like bench grinders only...

Re: Griots Random vs 7424xp I guess now we know more. :D Regards Christian

Re: Griots Random vs 7424xp Honestly, it's a horse race between all these random orbit (though most call them dual action for some reason) machines... the minor differences between them can be more than made up for by an operators familiarity with a particular machine. One person testing each...

I've been thinking about this layering thing a fair amount and I do have some issues with it. My problem is with the sealants and how they work. Apparently sealants can be removed in the same way that waxes can, such as using a 50/50 mix of IPA/water. I'm going to assume that mineral spirits...

Re: Griots Random vs 7424xp Brand names are just that, brand names. Lets not forget that B&D purchased the rights to use the Dewalt name on their portable power tools previously marketed as the B&D Professional tool lineup, which promptly boosted sales. B&D Pro tools were always good, it was...

I'd say yes..... BUT, you will have to accept the simple fact that you WILL use more ONR solution to wash a car with a brush, simply because the brush will not HOLD as much solution as a sponge or MF mitt/towel as it tends to release it's contents rather readily. ( Which is why it works so darn...

Hi Guillaume, Welcome to AG and nice ride you have there. Don't worry about keeping up with the quality of the Pro's who detail cars... like most things in life, the Pro's have to watch the clock to make money, the amateurs have all the time in the world to do it "perfectly". I don't mean...

Me. the PC 7424XP, You....... err... I've not been around long enough to really know, but I'll go with the: You - Montana Boar's Hair Wash Brush I have this thing for premium Badger Hair Shaving Brushes....... seems only natural to go the next step and start thinking of Car wash...

I clean my foam applicators with <gulp> mineral spirits (paint thinner) or turps. It only takes about 10 seconds of massaging and squishing the pad to remove waxes and the like and then I simply wash it with a detergent (Dawn or whatever is near the sink) and let air dry. I use the Meguiars...

Now.... the topic DID mention WINTER weather!:D Around here, thoughts of ONR washes in the driveway, a quick wand wash and the like can be complicated at best....... Here's a couple of Youtube links illustrating what I mean: Ahh.... nothing like a cup of hot coffee when I go out to detail my...

There's always Meguiars Hyper Wash from the Detailers line. It's about $3 less a gallon than the Optimum and the recommended dilution is 1:400 or a slightly generous 1 oz to to the average 5 gal bucket. I've not used it myself yet as it's not available this side of the border, but it is on my...

Congrats to the winner! Kaptain "Missed it by that much." Zero

Dean, Let us (and every other Canadian who's wondering) know what your final decision is/was and how it worked out for you. For the record, there is no right or wrong answer to the original question but rather it's always a matter of being informed about all the issues. There are times when...

Please enter me into the Vac giveaway, I would love to try it out and give back an honest review of the Autobahn Max Vac!

This is from another US internet dealer who does not ship to Canada, period. They do ship to a forwarding company such as Bongo but they will not ship the following Meguiars products to such a mail forwarding outfit. Prohibited items are any products that are considered hazardous or flammable...

PC7424XP from AG = Cdn 139.343 (not including the spread from your friendly Credit Card Co. PLUS the GST AND the $5 handling fee from Customs Canada to collect the GST AND you pay shipping from AG to Canada). And I'm not going to mention that your package will take longer than the other option...

Well, living in Canada myself, I've settled on ordering from a Canadian supplier if they can supply what I need. If they can't, I'll order stateside and have it shipped to a parcel handling service just across the border and I'll go for a Saturday morning drive and pick it up so I only have to...
