    Storage (apartment dwellers) how do you do it?

    I didn't. I sold all my supplies years ago when I moved to Orlando for college. Ended up repurchasing a lot of my old favorites a few weeks ago now that I'm in a solid house!

    you're surprised that collinite lasts a while? There's a reason *everyone* uses it for the cold months :P

    Polishes, and some needed advice

    If the new menzerna polishes are half as good as the old series, you'll be happy with them. I've use the XMT lineup in the past and was pretty happy with it... got a new shipment in a couple weeks ago and use them last weekend on my bf's car and they were just as good as i remembered.

    Basic tire/wheel dressing question

    I'd switch the trim and waxing steps... maybe i'm just sloppy, but i always get some wax on the trim.

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    I unpacked everything last weekend but forgot the pictures :-( I have to say though, I would never want to play an autogeek packer in jenga or tetris... How they got everything to fit into 2 boxes is beyond me!

    Another glaze question.

    Using a glaze between cleaner and sealant is the correct usage, you'll just need to make sure that the sealant and glaze products you choose play nicely together. Some sealants don't like bonding to paint that has a glaze present. You can also wax over top a sealant, but, the glaze will do a...

    Preferred Drying towel?

    I use my shop vac! Just have to make sure i rinsed it out after the last vacuuming before i start to blow dry the car... wouldnt want all that dirt being thrown against the freshly washed paint!

    Whats your favorite pad for Menzerna PO85RD

    From what i've gathered, 85rd is now know as SF4500. I have no experience with the new product, but i used 85rd a lot as a final finishing polish. In that application I would use it with a non abrasive wax application pad. 85rd is fine enough that with a non abrasive pad, you can have an...

    Whats good carpet cleaner

    id recommend folex as well. For troublesome stains you can grab one of the stiff bristle brush attachments for the PC and really scrub with it

    Engine Detailing - What to do when all purpose cleaner straight doesn't cut it?

    Steam. Let full strength APC dwell, and then hit it with a steam cleaner.

    best polish for paint in good condition??

    I was a big user of po85rd in the past, so if the new sf4500 is anything like it, i'm sure you'll fall in love with it. It's a very light finishing polish, so it's not really useful for anything other than final polishing, but with a car that is well maintained with proper wash techniques, it's...

    Question on Coating Wheels?

    Only reason I ask is because if you're planning on using a wheel cleaner product / APC, any coating you put on them is going to be stripped pretty quickly. I'd recommend that you treat the wheels like paint if you end up coating them!

    Engine Bay Detailing

    The only thing i've done to cover things was to take some plastic grocery bags and put them over the battery/fusebox/alternator. I'll admit though, i'm a bit of a klutz when it comes to spraying the engine bay, so better safe than sorry! try using the foam gun with a diluted APC. Pretty...

    What's better than Rain-X?

    I usually use whatever cleaner product that i'm using on the paint. lately it's been XMT carnauba finishing glaze. I also use stoner products as well. Worked great so far!

    Foam gun for maintenance wash question

    enthusiast soaps won't hurt your waxes. I've used many different kinds over the years with no issues, and use the gun for every wash (and at times when I was really anal, i was washing twice a week). I also tend to run higher concentrations of soap in my foam gun. All in all, I wouldn't be...
