    Wolfgang TSR and Finish Glaze or M105/205

    If I understand what you're asking, the 105 will have a lot more cut as per the AG compound chart Autogeek Swirl Removers & Compounds Comparison Chart From what I understand about 105 (never used it) you'll need to finish it up with a second product because it will leave compounding scratches...

    Can you ID this snake?

    searching on Google images I'm thinking maybe some sort of brown rat snake? Markings are similar, and they have round pupils. edit: Also read that round pupils means non-venomous in all but coral snakes.

    Pinnacle Advance Finishing Polish vs ...

    Yeah silver is really hard to tell on. That's one of the things I hated about the Z I had. When I bought it I was like "oh yeah I want silver that's a nice classic color". Then when it came time to polish it and all that it became "oh, man this color sucks for making it look good".

    Happy Father's Day Friday!!!

    WOW it ROASTED here today. I heard we hit a high of like 106. All I know is it was up to or over 100 (according to the Jeep temp which I think runs 2-3 degrees high) when we got out of town at like 12:30. Coming back down the hill around 6 or 6:30 I had to shut off the AC cause it got down to...

    Spreading a Paste wax on LC pad

    Don't know about those, but with the Pinnacle SS II I have, I just shake the whole thing out of the jar onto a MF towel and "wipe" the block over the pad once or twice and apply to a section or two. I think if you try to scoop it out with something you'll end up using way too much. Hopefully...

    Happy Father's Day Friday!!!

    Happy Friday guys. Semi-relaxed weekend coming up. Going over to visit my parents for a bit on Sunday for Father's day. Just relaxing on Sunday after that as the gf is working that day. Tomorrow is nothing major. The gf and I are just going to take a drive up north towards Tahoe to escape...

    one step polish & seal/wax

    Hmmm, I think I'm deciding between the blackfire and the Optimum spray product. I'm a bit confused on the directions for the blackfire product. It says to use the buffer on it until it disappears. Is that right? There's no residue to buff off? I'll definitely keep the D151 in mind for...

    Detailing pics and camera phone photos don't mix

    Yep it's all about the sensor size and lens quality differences :)

    one step polish & seal/wax

    What do you guys recommend for a one step solution for light polishing and protection. I'm talking about stuff like the XMT360 or the Dodo Need for Speed as examples. I'm thinking of picking something up for doing friends & family vehicles and saving some time & work when possible. I think...

    Pinnacle Advance Finishing Polish vs ...

    Sealant topped with fuzion, like the Deep Gloss Paint Sealant for instance. From what I've read, sealers are better at the glossy candyshell look while the carnaubas are better at the deep warm glow & wet paint look. I can say that after using the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze (really a polish...

    Detailing pics and camera phone photos don't mix

    I don't see a problem with tweaking the color if it is off though. Digital cameras guess at the correct color but they very often get it wrong. Same with sharpness, slight sharpening especially after re-sizing is usually needed with any digital photo. The problem of course is oversharpening...

    Do you let your dealer wash the car either upon delivery or service?

    I used to because I didn't know any better. This last time I bought, I was ordering from the factory so I knew I could get it without it being touched and I let the salesguy know up front to please not wash it. He thought/thinks I'm a little weird for that but I happily drove my Jeep home...

    New cloth seats

    I would avoid them. If you check around over on WF you'll see a lot of the guys reporting that they fall apart. Stitching ripping out of the straps that secure them to the seats, etc. Seems like Smittybilt has some quality control issues compared to some of the other brands.

    Detailing Aluminum Foil on a car??

    Wow apparently I need to start buying food at Walmart (that would be a BIG change since I currently try to never go there at all, for anything, ever). They apparently have REALLY fresh turkey!

    Smokin' ribs!!!

    Wow looks good. I so want to get into smoking stuff. I'm a huge fan of Good Eats and many times Alton Brown the host has built smokers with a random enclosure (box, clay pots, etc.), an electric hot plate (or 2), and a pie plate full of wood chips/chunks. Sadly all I have right now is a gas...

    What to apply on a Jeep Wrangler hardtop?

    Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time using a paint product like Wolfgang spritz sealant on it. I got the spritz on BOGO a while back so I'm not running out any time soon lol.

    Happy friday!!!!!

    Well, the wedding was "short & sweet" and really pretty nice. They were just serving cake & some "finger food" like strawberries & whipped cream and nachos. It was about 150 people in my Aunt's backyard. (well was supposed to be 150 don't know if that many showed) It was a great day for an...

    Ok to top XMT 360 AOI with Ultima PGP?

    Really? I thought you weren't supposed to put sealants over wax? Is it just because of the formulation of UPGP? If that's the case, I might be trying out something like that when I'm looking for a quicker process. Any other sealer type products that you can do that with? I'm thinking...
