    First Time Flex user

    I absolutely love my 3401. I come from the "patient" approach as I used my non-XP PC for the past 7 years. The power and speed of 3401 is great. I believe you can use the Autogeek forum code AGO to get free shipping on orders over $95. It's rare to get a "percent off" coupon that applies to...

    Poorboys

    Autogeek created a pretty handy, dandy compound/polish chart to compare the abrasiveness of various products: Autogeek Swirl Removers & Compounds Comparison Chart With that said, I used PB's SSR-series extensively a few years ago. They have a decent working time and I got the results I...

    AIO suggestions

    I am a big supporter of KAIO..it's a great chemical cleaner and is compatible with most LSPs. However, it does not have much corrective abilities and the protection part is measured in weeks. 2 other AIO products that I would recommend are Megiuar's D151 and Poorboy's Polish with Sealant...

    Glaze: Do they all work the same? My quest for the the best glaze..

    :iagree: As an owner of a black car - it is practically impossible to keep it looking 100% marring free all the time. I generally opt for glazes that have strong filling properties (as opposed to strong cleaning abilities).

    What to do with your retired products?

    I mainly relegate them for use on extended family cars and on my wheels. Occasionally, I will trade them for samples.

    Trim Restorer

    I am an avid fan of TR, but it does last only 1 or 2 washes/storms. Would UTTG or ETS applied over TR to "lock" in the look or would there be compatibility/durability issues?

    Four Star UPP (the forgotten sealant?)

    I love me some UPP. I have only used the old, non-polycharged version so I am very interested in your review/thoughts of the latest revision. A sealant with unreal slickness and a carnauba-like glow...

    Which one would you use???

    This part will be key. IMO, 10 years old is not old at all but you do have to be careful as existing clear coat might be thin in some areas (especially panel edges). Also, if the bonnet was re-sprayed without clear coat then you will need more pads than normal as there will be paint transfer...

    Wax poll

    I have 2 vehicles in the family (both are garaged at night): My car - Washed once a month with a refresh of LSP every two months (depending on what I used previously). I usually grab a "beauty" paste wax but will occasionally AIO + Sealant such as WG or UPP Wife's minivan - Washed once a...

    upp curing time

    Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection - used to be called Platinum Ultimate Paint Protection a few years ago. You should be good-to-go after 6 hours (especially if they manufacturer recommends that curing time). UPP is one of those sealants where looks significantly improves after a day or so...

    PBMA's waxes; I'm confuse!!

    ^^You hit it right on the head. All waxes look great on a properly prepped car...heck, most of them look the same after 1 day of driving. I never reached the "50 Wax Club" but I still purchased around 25 different waxes. Like you, i pretty much traded, sold, or gave most of them away - I have...

    Meguiars Professional Detailer Choice

    Last Touch - I really like the appearance and slickness that this QD leaves. However, application can be somewhat picky and result in streaks. It does not cope well with hot (even warm) surfaces. I actually keep my spray bottle in the fridge for this very reason. If you spray too much...

    applying wax on plastic factory wheel covers

    Definitely wax or seal - it noticeably reduces the amount of brake dust that sticks to the wheel. I have used PB Wheel Sealant and although it worked great, it did not perform any better than a 'non-specialized' LSP. Currently, I am using products with high-durability reputations (Klasse...

    Poorboy's polish with sealant on white

    Definitely a nice improvement! Your "Before and After" post back in day at Autopia is what got me hooked on KAIO. How would you compare the performance between PWS and KAIO? Thanks in advance.
