    Swirl removal

    Generally speaking, if you start off with a moderately aggressive SMR and use a cutting pad, you will need to at least add an additional step using a polishing pad. I have read where people have performed defect correction while using a polishing pad with a polish that allowed them to go...

    How much Pressure to apply

    It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you're just spreading a wax or sealant, the weight of the machine will be sufficient. If you are attempting to effect defect correction, you are going to need to put some muscle (weight) behind it. I don't know about 15-20 lbs, you just want...

    Clearkote products? You decide...

    I'm probably in the minority here, but the CK products I've purchased (VM and QS) have been considerable underacheivers for me. The problem might be that my expectations were set high based on the hype that finds its way to these forums. They are OK, and VM is certainly easy to use, but in no...

    A Sticky Situation

    I concur with the suggestions of using a diluted APC to clean the remaining sticky residue, if a damp MF doesn't work. I would lean more towards the 1:10 dilution, if necessary. I have several (I count 9) vinyl/rubber products and each works well. The one I reach for most often however, is...

    Hose Nozzle Fetish

    Mine (Bonaire) is over a year old and it's been dropped many more than a dozen times:o , and like a Timex it takes a licking and keeps on ticking ;) FWIW, Re: the allen bolt...don't these things come with a lifetime warranty? Keep us informed on your hunt. If you find a nozzle that is...

    Hose Nozzle Fetish

    Curious to know what about the Bonaire version left you wanting? I have one (not the stainless version) and love its rugged design. I'm bad about dropping my hose (intentionally) when in a hurry and never worry if the unit is going to not work when I pick it up again. Still interested in...

    Signature#1 and #2

    I just want to commend killrwheels@autogeek and Matt for choosing to provide honest, accurate product information over the opportunity to just sell a product. killerwheels did the same over in another thread to one of my queries. Good work guys :)

    Mothers Reflections

    LOL, I know the faithful followers of the "other" side just don't believe the results, and will likely blame you prep/application. Although, now you are the second person to provide visual results of their testing. I know the other poster also knows how to properly prep/apply. Very...

    Car Washes/Shampoos

    I find the Pinnacle to be a pretty robust wash. If you got dirt to clean it will get it. I'm not saying that it will absolutely strip the LSP, but I get the feeling that it isn't exactly LSP friendly ie. if you LSP is on its last legs, the Pinnacle may be the last straw. One day I'll have to...

    Most Missed Area of Detailing

    Speaking of the general public, you could probably pick any or all of the above. Speaking for myself, I would (and did) say/vote for tailpipes. Though I give them a wash, I rarely go back and give them a proper drying and/or polish. I only have one vehicle that has really nice chrome pipes...

    Tires and Wheel Well Dressing

    I use BnB for both tires and wheel wells. I like it better for the wheel wells than AA because it is easier (read less messy) to use (spray vs aerosol) and attracts much less dust. If it is seems too expensive, try a) buying the larger size container (ie. gallon vs 32 oz. or 32 oz. vs 16 oz.)...

    Will the emergence of this new product necessarily mean the dropping of the existing DP Waterless Auto product?
