Poorboys EX-P offers 3-6 months protection - anyone have experience to back that up?

I wonder if it's a problem with the Surf City Grime Destroyer bottles, because I ordered the 24 oz bottle, and when it arrived last Friday it was also leaking in the box. The bottle had split down the seam in the middle. I called AG, they sent out a replacement, and yesterday I got a - get this...

I wash my face every morning with Neutrogena Clean and Clear and use my wife's loufa (the spongy net looking thing) to scrub it - that's what gets all the crap out. I'll usually rinse my face off in the sink at work a couple of times during the day too. I also noticed that when I am detailing...

True dat. Worth a shot!

I don't know, but the insurance on a Vette for a 28 year old (me) is only about $370 for 6 months...get yourself married if you aren't that will save you some money (well, on insurance. You'll spend more for everything else. Or she will). As perspective, the insurance for a 2000 Ford Escort...

I really like how S100 finishes up too - and for $15 you could probably wax that truck a few dozen times.

Dangit, I was hoping they wouldn't be around until spring again.

That sounds very similar to a problem my friend was having. I don't know what caused it, but we solved it with a PC 7424 and some XMT. That will probably remove any oxidation you are having. If you are polishing by hand right now, you aren't getting the correcting power you need to fix it, is...

I think that the wide range of waxes and sealants would make that pretty tough. Souveran isn't going to look like S100, and Zaino won't look like XMT 360, so you can't really do a direct comparison unless you sampled dozens of sealants and dozens of waxes and then tried to make a generalization...

It depends, but I usually end up using 2-3, depending on the size of the car (orange). 1 White and 1 Gray will take me through the whole car if the orange is doing the heavy lifting. I generally just switch pads when they get dirty or caked instead of cleaning right then and there, and will...

I use USAA insurance and they always have recommended very good body shops to me. If you trust your insurance company, you can ask who they deal with. Otherwise, you could try talking to people at car shows.

That seems to be the case for me too with liquid sealants and waxes. One thing you can do to help is spray your pad with a couple shots of pad conditioner or quick detailing spray first to prime it. Or, put a circle around the applicator to spread the love the first time, and then you can use...

I'm guessing it's a vacuum cleaner...

Wow, if that's his kid I guess you are like social services rescuing it from the hands of neglect. I really like how you turned the areas with the clear failure around - that's incredible! Nica, you are always so polite and supportive of the others on this forum, it's great to see you show...

It's probably the Unplugged show that they did for MTV back in the day. They put out a CD for it, too. GOod stuff, considering they had the "Jar of Flies" EP that was mostly acoustic and very good. I always wanted to see them in concert - too bad Layne Stayley killed himself or overdosed or...

Hey - if it cleans metal, it cleans metal. That looks like a pretty nice difference!

The DP works awesomely. You won't be disappointed with it.

Awesome! I showed my wife and she was like, "oh my God....". Unfortunately, that picture did not lessen the impact when she finally looked through my cabinets in the garage this afternoon for the first time...oops!

How long are you working the compound and polish for before you stop? Also, are you wiping off the compound or polish residue with a microfiber before you inspect the paint?

You are going to have to cut your prices on this one - college kids are poor! I suppose the ones that have cars nice enough to be detailed are going to have some cash, however. I always had a beater in school. Surf City glass cleaner is the only one I've not had streak in the sun, so that's...
