By virtue of Opti Clean's inherent "cleaners"(per AG's product description), would it then not be the better option over UWW+ as a rinseless presoak? UWW+ makes no mention of any cleaners in its product description as much as it states that it simply "cleans". To me, in other words, UWW+ relies...

Dealership near me uses an outside shop, so i'm probably going to do this first. I just figured there may be some other lines of paint also worth consideration in addition to what they spray with; these guys are not cheap from what i've heard, but the quality is there. I would kill for that!

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone & their families! Now....A deer ran into the side of my car last weekend and I am now in the process of finding a QUALITY shop using QUALITY materials to repaint the fender where the deer hit. A buddy of mine said to avoid shops using certain paint...

Same problem here. Very annoying, actually. I now skip the tape entirely and simply allow myself approximately an inch between the spinning pad and the perimeter of the areas i'd normally tape off; a perfectionist's nightmare! Maybe someone has a tip to avoid this problem?

For as often as the similarity between Zaino & Duragloss is touted, has anyone else scoured the internet like I have & taken note of there being practically NO visual comparisons between the two from which to draw an opinion? Just saying. I mean, DG will forever be intertwined w/Zaino and is...

Is that the Concours or 100% Carnauba P21s that you have? Have not tried the Concours but the 100% looks awesome and has proven to be surprisingly durable for a carnauba.

Autogeek: This chart is in serious need of updating. Brands with compounds/polishes that are not represented include: Sonax Gtechniq CarPro Chemical Guys Prima Blackfire Scholl Sonus (I won't fault you for Scholl or Wolf's though, given their only recent introduction to the lines you carry)...

I've been searching but there doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion out there about these towels: CarPro Suede Microfiber Cloths, suede microfibre cloths, microfiber towels, cquartz microfiber They seem to be a shorter nap suede-type towel often used in the application of CQuartz. Does anyone...

Chris, would you say that the abrasives in GPS are milder or stronger than those of the Finish polish? Also, i'm assuming GPS's abrasives are SMAT like your compound ii, polish ii, & finish polish?

Just curious. I will be completely stripping panels to test all the LSP's i've accumulated. Instead of having to buy a new bottle of paint cleaner (P21S, Klasse AIO) for the stripping, I thought maybe I could use Optimum Finish Polish on a pad with no cut i.e. Hydro Tech Crimson. Are the...

My fault, I meant to say Surbuf/DAT, not DMAT.. Don't discount the power of those parking lot lamps, i'm telling you. haha. I had a porter cable LED flashlight AND had the car in direct sunlight, and the RIDS didn't show up until I had the car under the lights at ACME! No BS.

It is indeed a DD. I guess I have to overcome my need for detailing perfection and play it safer than sorry and protect the clear-coat. I can see how this hobby can drive people nuts though... I'm still curious about what people think about the safety of a Surbuf/DMAT combo though...

Has there of been any other successful methods of application besides spray and walk away? I have an unopened bottle of this I would like to use on some black plastic trim running down the side of my car, but would like to avoid getting it all over my paint while doing so!

I'm in the process of correcting my 2000 Bmw 5 series' paint. I compounded the hood twice in my quest for perfection. First time was HydroTech Cyan/m105. 2nd time was Meguiars MF/m105. Both times, a test spot showed promise but in different light & @ a different angle (grocery store parking...

I cleaned my whole cabin's headliner not that long ago using Chemical Guys Nonsense as a spot treater at a 6:1 dilution with no problems. Dab the stain and lightly agitate, let it soak for a couple minutes, dab again with fresh water. Repeat until stain is removed. Worked for me.....

I have achieved excellent results spot treating with Chemical Guys Nonsense. About a month ago I undertook the painstaking task of spot treating every stain in the whole cabin's headliner with Nonsense at 6:1 and it performed effortlessly. The only drawback I can gather with Nonsense is it being...

Do you like LT better than Quik Detailer or Final Inspection? How would you rank the three? It looked pretty good in the reviews I read. I have so many spray sealants right now though, I just don't know if I can justify another one taking room up on the shelf! Would the shine/gloss from...

Hi everyone: Looking for some input about QD’s. What I would like is a QD that adds NO PROTECTION, but simply adds some shine and gloss after a wash and in between coats of whatever LSP I have laid down. I will not be using the QD to clean off road grime or anything like that in b/w washes. I’m...

Hmmm..I wonder, if the pigment is coming off, does that mean the seat's clearcoat-like protective layer is coming off in addition?
