    To Menz, or not to Menz?

    They were fairly impressed when they pulled up at first saying it looked brand new. I did most of the rest this morning before they pulled up for a little Easter get together...couple neighbors commented as well...when my dad saw the before and afters he freaked.

    To Menz, or not to Menz?

    Better than sitting inside watching TV! I saw severe paint problems so I was interested to see how far FG400 would go. I thought others might want to see the results as well. Good practice with the DA and a product I never used as well. BTW, the truck still runs but the tranny needs to be babied.

    I like those guys too but they are rare. So if I'm in the mood to donate (which I am not very often anymore - I have my own issues to deal with)...I ask them to dance a jig for me. They usually do and I give 'em a buck or two. I caught one of these guys one day leaving his "spot" and get in his...

    My father's work truck which is being donated to my house build arrived last week....in quite sad shape. So bad, it is unsalvageable. The transmission is shot, leaf springs nearly rusted through, etc. However, she can use a little paint correction. When I say it has never been washed, I mean it...

    Prima hydro over collinite

    Better picture of it today. The truck in the background was clean, you can see a big difference in gloss. I grabbed a bit of the bird-pooped car next to me too for comparison lol

    Orange Peel - A slow victim of the DA?

    Disappointing to hear this. I was hoping there was a way for me to do something about it not requiring such expense or risk. Thanks for your help everyone.

    Prima hydro over collinite

    Well I just did this in the AM. I went to a coin operated self wash and first blasted the car down with water. I mixed ONR in a bucket with ten MFs, one gallon water and one capful ONR. I washed/wiped the car down. I then started up the wand again and hit it will the full pressure, then last...

    Orange Peel - A slow victim of the DA?

    Yea. New Mazda cx5. Even if the foam pads conform, they will always take off more from the peaks of OP vs the valleys but it sounds like it is a negligible difference. I am not a DA guru, yet...I have a GG6 right now. I guess I will stick with the current OP I see. I just see some incredibly...

    Orange Peel - A slow victim of the DA?

    I am curious if you guys who polish your vehicles once a year or once every other year notice the orange peel dissipate slightly with each DA polishing routine? My new vehicle has quite noticeable orange peel and I am considering a nano coating but don't want to coat the paint before I reduce...

    Prima hydro over collinite

    I know it can be done. I can also use sandpaper to dry my car but I wouldn't. The "Even if it has a coat of wax..." part indicated to me it was not as effective, but i'll try it hopefully in an hour or so. Thanks...

    Prima hydro over collinite

    I read prima hydro is better applied to a dry car. I figure i'll lightly dry it, then apply, so there will still be a little water, but no full beading. Ok, good. I didnt want to waste product over wax if it didnt work well. Looking forward to getting outside tomorrow and using it.

    Prima hydro over collinite

    Ok so i googled this for ten minutes and cant find an answer. Can one use prima hydro wax as you dry on top of wax such as collinite, et al? I plan to use this tomorrow...after a wash. I'd like to dry the car then use hydro prima wax as a lsp
