    Leave a waxed car in the sun for 20 years. Will paint fail?

    There's a 14yr old minivan sitting in my driveway that's lived outside its whole life here in NY (so not just sun but ice and snow) and has NEVER been waxed and has probably been washed 5 times in those 14yrs. Despite it being a scratched up, dull, water mark etched, swirl mark on wheels the...

    Prima Hydro Max Questions

    Me too. I've got my eye on it and Slick (real curious if it lives up to the name) to try as the first Prima products for me. I'm just up to my ears in spray detailers and spray sealants from various brands with all the testing I've been doing that I can't justify buying more similar products...

    Review & How-To: Meguiar's D115 Rinsefree Express Wash and Wax

    Thanks for the in depth review. I've become a big fan of waterless washing. This means there's another waterless wash I "need" (haha) to try now. I'm currently testing CG Ecosmart RU, UWW+, Adam's, DP and Pinnacle to find my favorite.

    Excellent save! That went from, "Yikes, look at that poor old Porsche." to "Wow, look at that clean classic Porsche!."

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    Thanks guys. I've actually obsessed over the ride height and have adjusted the coilovers quite a few times to dial it in. Actually just spun the rears down lower before those pics and I think I finally have it where I want it now.

    Cleaning/protecting windshield wipers

    I've always had good luck just spraying some glass cleaner on a junk MF towel or paper shop towel that won't lint or tear apart and pinching the blade with the towel between my fingers and running it up and down a few times. Never tried any type of dressing or protectant on them though.

    Nick's desk is "Looking Sweet"

    I have black wheels and am constantly trying new stuff on them so if I can top my current sealant with that (which it seems I can since it has no cleaners or abrasives) I'm real curious about it. Guess I'll add it to the "to try" list.

    Nick's desk is "Looking Sweet"

    Synthetic I assume? Does it have any cleaners in it or can it be used on top of other products without fear of it removing them?

    What Menzerna polish has more cut than WG TSR 3.0?

    FG400 is Menzerna's most aggressive compound. It works wonders when paired with a microfiber pad. Also finishes out amazingly well for something with so much cut.

    A different kind of detail

    NICE! I actually build custom guitars and am constantly using my 3" Griot's polisher on them because my detailing OCD blends over to my guitar building haha. The guitars also make great test platforms for products since all the ones under my brand are painted with high quality House of Kolor...
