    Iron-X Doing it's thing

    Very cool. I just picked up some used OEM wheels for use with snows. Looks like Iron-X and some Plastidip will be on my shopping list.

    Any citizens band (CB) radio operators here?

    Wow..what a trip. This was the last subject I would have expected to come up on AG. Pretty cool though. In my early teens I was into CB. I still have the Cobra (not microfiber) 148GTL I received as a graduation present from High School. My homeroom teacher saw the 8 foot antenna on my car and...

    2012 Black Acura RDX

    Yeah, I realize I won't get rid of the orange peel. It's my wifes car and she doesn't seem to care as long as I can shine it up a little once in awhile. She bought it brand new in June of this year. It is a pretty nice ride. She went from a 15mpg MDX down to this, a FWD only RDX which is getting...

    2012 Black Acura RDX

    Curious to hear what you think about the paint. My wife's 2011 Black RDX has a ridiculous amount of orange peel. So far I have just sealed it since it's new, but in the spring I'll take the Flex to it and see what happens. It does have some nice metal flake in the black....subtle...but nice. The...

    Fuzion vs Blackfire Midnight Sun

    I would love to see Max Wax added to the comparison test. Would be interesting. Pretty good value.

    Changing from Zanio to ??

    Epic thread full of great pictures of great subject matter and some really good info. I'm also a big Zaino fan. I keep thinking about changing to something else but then don't. I use MaxWax as a topper sometimes and like it, but some of those Souveran pictures make me wonder....may have to try...

    yet another nice weekend....

    Didn't really need to do it, but it was so nice out, couldn't resist throwing two coats of zfx'd z2 and 1 coat of Max Wax on the legacy for a little extra winter protection. Yeah, we will pay for this weather !! Although being out of power for a week after the n'oreaster was payment enough...

    Lamborghini Aventador by Unique Detailing....Thanksgiving Special

    Absolutely gorgeous car and work. Surprised he didn't want the wheels taken off to OptiCoat front and back. I'm hoping OC repels or at least cuts down on brake dust and road debris buildup.

    Ultima Tire&Trim Guard question

    I've found that it lasts for months on trim on my daily drivers. Amazing stuff. Wheels might be a different story, but in storage it will be fine.

    zaino ?

    Weird, I still love z16 tire dressing, however, lately I've been using Optimum Opti-Bond which gives the tire a nice black look but the shine goes away after about a day. I've found that boosting the shine with z16 works fantastic. Everytime I try and stray away from Zaino I end up going back...

    Drying Towels

    I used to use the absorber but now use a leaf blower followed by Meguiar's waffle weave. Sometimes just the waffle weave. Works great !! I am a big Meguiar's microfiber fan in general. Really not satisfied with the Cobra's.

    Hand-applying PoorBoy's Black Hole Glaze...

    I received a free sample of black hole glaze and tried it out on some pretty significant scratches on my wife's black RDX. I was pretty impressed on how well the BHG hid the scratches. Gave the sample to my sister in law to try on her black car and orderd a full size bottle along with the DP Max...

    Anyone using propane gas at home?

    Versus what ? Oil, ok I can see your point. Natural Gas ? Unlimited supply from the street, at least until someone can shut it off somewhere. My brother actually has his tank underground. I may look into doing that as well, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Probably a bit safer. We use propane and...

    Wheel well dressing?

    UTTG. Only have to do the wheel wells once a year or so on my daily drivers. I love this stuff.

    If You're Not Taping, Then What?

    I think some contributing to this thread have had the same confusion I have had in the past. The point is you must mask when doing a paint correction, ie. polishing, compounding, or what have you. If you are just applying a sealant or wax etc., masking is not necessary if you are applying...

    Ultima Products

    The tire and trim gaurd has changed my life. My wife who kinda doesnt car about a detailed car has not stopped talking about the difference it made on her car. Clients frequently tell her her car looks amazing and how polished it looks......however it's the other details such as trim that really...
