    Prayers going out those harmed at Boston Marathon

    Heartbreak for those out there in Boston. America is strong and will be alright in the end. When we find those responsible, they should have their faces sanded off as a form of torture. Flex 3401 with a sanding pad anyone?

    Before and After pictures

    Did you use a hot water extractor on the last picture to take care of the fabric stain? What kind of stain was it anyways?

    Applying Meg's #7 glaze under Turtle Wax

    I'm sure 845 works well for you up there in Oregon since you guys and people in Washington state get rained on for about 9 months like people always say. I froze my butt off working on my Cruze with 46 degree weather here in the Bay Area part of California. I didn't want to go through the...

    Can Opti-Coat 2.0 be topped?

    Thank you for the advice on Opti-Coat you guys. I guess from what I understand is that once you coat the car, only thing you can use is Permanon. I guess that means no more sealant or waxes being used on the car that gets coated. I was under the impression that it was a kind of DIY clear coat...

    Can Opti-Coat 2.0 be topped?

    Hey fellow detailers. Just wondering if Opti-Coat 2.0 can be sealed and topped with a Carnauba wax or not. I purchased a kit a month ago but, I haven't used it yet. I wanted to find out if you are supposed to just let it cure and then leave it alone or can it be waxed like a regular clear...

    Applying Meg's #7 glaze under Turtle Wax

    Thank you Nick. I appreciate you insight on what my options are. As I mentioned before, I've got way too much detailing stuff at home now. I've got those two glazes along with two bottles of XMT Glaze. That one for sure can only be topped with some Nuba since the glaze itself contains it...

    Applying Meg's #7 glaze under Turtle Wax

    Do you know of any sealants that can be used over #3 or #7? I plan to seal over it and then top it with a pure Nuba. I've got Finish Kare Hi-Temp sealant on the shelf and Klasse sealant which didn't work out going over #7 because it caused random cloudiness over the finish.

    Applying Meg's #7 glaze under Turtle Wax

    One more question for you guys. Would using #3 or #7 glaze under Meg's NXT 2.0 still work since it has kaolin clay in the ingredients. Also wondered if there would be any bonding issues since it is from the same company and NXT is M21 in the Glaze line along with 3 & 7. I'm just looking for...

    Applying Meg's #7 glaze under Turtle Wax

    Well, I just had to use it because I have 3 bottles of it on my shelf. I have the Mothers step 3 Carnauba, in fact, I just used it on my parents' black 2003 Mercedes E320 in conjunction with Meg's NXT 2.0 sealant under it. Before I put that Turtle Wax on my Cruze, I had used the Mothers 3step...

    Applying Meg's #7 glaze under Turtle Wax

    Hey everyone, just wondering if you think applying a glaze under Turtle Wax Color Magic would even work or make any difference at all to the final results. I know how everyone here hates Turtle Wax but, I just have so much at the house that I ought to finish it off before moving onto the Liquid...

    Ever use your detailing skill on something other than a car?

    I used my PC 7424XP on my shower/tub and tried my best to clay some of the rough waterspots. Used some cheap DuPont Cream Wax for the job on the white polishing pad that came with the PC. I also waxed the toilet with really, I mean really old Armor All Car Wax that I had in the house. Next...

    What products do you use on YOUR car?

    Car: 1991 Saturn SL2 Go ahead people, flame me for the use of Turtle Wax products. :spam I grew up with them and find it hard to just toss them. When you put them to good use, they work pretty well for an OTC product. Maybe takes more work to do the job, but hey, if you got it, you might...

    Worst morning in a long time....

    I know sort of how you feel. My home got burglarized on 9/11!!! Someone came through our bathroom window to my parents' bedroom. They took some jewelry and took my dad's old Nikon film camera. Another guy went into another room which set off the motion sensor. I had a big ADT sign outside...

    Hey dude, I'm from the Bay Area also. I'm out in Hercules, how's about you? My rides are a 1991 Saturn SL2 in the garage and a 2012 Chevy Cruze that sits outside. Both of my cars are red. I also work with a PC7424XP.

    Helping a noobie choose the correct products for paint correction!!

    Well, I'm kind of a newbie myself. But from my experiences, I've had great success with Meg's Ultimate Compound and a Lake Country Orange pad and used M205 with a white polishing pad from LC to clear everything up. I then used a prewax cleaner from Mothers on a dark grey pad, topped with Meg's...

    Whats your real job?

    I work five days a week full time for my parents who own a Thai food restaurant in the Bay Area in California. Depending on how busy the week has been, I'll take one day to wash the car in the evening, and then wax it the next day if the car is in the garage. Problem is that I have two cars...
