Definition of a "Chick Car"? Hello all, I recently sold my Jeep Wrangler for a Mazda MX-5. My uncle has sworn by the MX-5 for years now and I always enjoyed the handling around turns in the nimble little car. I enjoy them so much that I went out and bought one. To my dismay...

Greetings oh wise and trustworthy guides of Autogeekonline, :dblthumb2: I have recently purchased my first DA. A Griot's Garage DA. I have been detailing by hand for years, doing friends/relatives cars off and on as well. I decided it's time to get a DA and I have been doing...

I second the vote for V7 as the best quick detailer. I also like Pinnacle's Crystal Mist... but it's priced way too high. I actually keep myself supplied with Crystal Mist by always ordering the sample size of it for free, and using them to refill my old bottle. :dblthumb2: Sneaky...

I'm very interested in seeing where this thread goes. I just bought a 2006 Mazda MX-5, and it would seem the dealership had a grit in their sponge when doing my windshield. There are hairline scratches that swirl around the entire windshield. It becomes immediately apparent when driving into...

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this (I stopped reading at around page 4, =D) but I regret my purchase of DoDo Juice's red mist. I know everyone else seems to like it, but I find that it smears 99% of the time I use it. I've tried using the tiniest little bit of it, but it still smears as...

Thanks for the quick replies! I like both products, so I have no problem with keeping them both on my shelf. What I've gathered from your answers is that I'll keep using the waterless wash for it's intended purpose. Then use the rinseless wash as exactly that, and as a quick detail...

I just purchased Pinnacle's new Rinseless wash, as well as their waterless wash. Both in concentrate form. My question is about something I read on the back of the bottle for the rinseless wash. The bottle states that it can be mixed up into a detail spray, but isn't this going to be...

You aren't lying... =O I don't know if I want to pay for UQD after I run out. lol. Even though it's still half what something like Crystal Mist would cost. :bowdown:

I'm always up for saving money, that's for sure. I may put in an order for some of that soon. I assume that's more of a spray wax than a detailer? Or am I wrong? I could use both, and I really like to have spray waxes around in the winter to boost my paint's protection with all the salt on...

The day came, and I traded my Jeep for a 2006 Miata that is in extraordinary condition for it's age. It has the color "Winning Blue Metallic" so it's a big change from my glossy Red Jeep. Here are some pictures! Also, does anyone have any suggested products that work exceptionally well on...

It seems like there might be something to Zymol. So long as the price is right. Their "Red" "Color Correcting" wax caught my attention. Although I doubt any wax can actually improve the color of a vehicle which is already well maintained.

True, it's all in the prep. Although I can't say that I've tried waxing with spit! Might as well try the old "Spit Shine" method. lol I agree it does seem odd that most of their expensive waxes are fundamentally the same. I must say though that I really like their choice of tubs for the...

I was at my local auto shop today and noticed that a brand called Zymol popped up. I've honestly never heard of the brand, so I decided to give them a try. I purchased their "Spray Glaze" and it seems to work well. Nothing incredible, but not bad either. I would buy it again. After...

I have recently found that Chemical Guy's V7 works like a charm on keyboards, computers, and other plastic electronics! I found that it gives a really slick and clean feeling to the keys on my laptop, and works excellently on the glass of the screen. (Except for the increased shine and glare...

Thanks again for everyone's help! I may decide just to use an IPA and water solution, since it will probably be cheaper. But still... Menzerna's spray looks like a really quick and easy product for the job. Thanks, Myles

In case you've read my posts before, I'm just getting into DA Polishing, and I have a question about dusting. Keep in mind, I still have never actually used a swirl remover with a DA... so if this is a stupid question, I apologize! :buffing: I've heard that removing swirls is likely a...

Thanks for the help. I'm definitely looking into hydrotech now as well. Thanks! Myles

Thank you! One more thing, I've seen in some of the demo videos that there is some sort of extension adapter out there that lets you have the pad out from the buffer a little farther. That would definitely be a help for some of the tight areas around my trim, but I'm not sure what that...

Me again about a Porter Cable. Now I'm thinking about using Spot Buff pads with mine, since the 5.5 and 6.5 pads are too big for the majority of my panels. Most of the side and back panels around my trim are just big enough to use a Spot Buff, but far too small for any other size pad...

True P21s doesn't last very long. However, based on the fact that Blacklight seems more like a Glaze than a Sealant, I assume that it certainly can't hurt to put that on top. It may be better to go with a full fledged sealant over top though. I'll probably try that with Blackfire's Wet...
