    Clear-bra adhesive residue removal?

    Hello, I recently removed the clear bra from the front of my car, and I was not able to remove all of the adhesive residue. I used 3M adhesive remover, however there is a section on the hood which I cannot get off. I will be clay-baring and polishing the car tomorrow, if the residue does not...

    Water Softeners, effective?

    Now we are on to something. Keep us updated. Tomorrow I am going to use 10 gallons from my cousins RODI system for his fish tank. The Karcher units draw right from the bucket, so it should be enough for the rinse. His unit was under $200 and the refills are very cheap and infrequently replaced...

    Water Softeners, effective?

    What about using an RODI system that many use for their fish tanks, and storing the water in a container? My pressure washer is able to draw from a container without pressure, and just a rinse shouldn't consume that much water.

    Pinnacle XMT #1 vs XMT 360?

    Thanks a lot, I think I might purchase the #3 and the 360, for heavier scratches and finishing. It sounds like the XMT line is effective so I think I will invest in the full line and see how it goes. My first vehicle will be my brothers Black 2001 Mercedes CLK430 which has quite a bit of...

    Pinnacle XMT #1 vs XMT 360?

    Much appreciated response! That is exactly what I was hoping to find out. XMT 360 and XMT #1 both appear to have the same abrasive properties, with 360 seeming to have rather effective sealing capabilities. Being that I need a finishing polish after XMT #2, the 360 seems to be a good option to...

    Pinnacle XMT #1 vs XMT 360?

    Hello all, I recently just received my PC 7424XP and the package included Pinnacle XMT #2 and Pinnacle XMT Carnuba Glaze with orange, white, and grey pads. After doing a little reading and watching a few videos, it appears that there may be a missing link between these products, and it is a...

    Water Softeners, effective?

    Thanks a lot guys. The previous owner recently had the water tested, so I will check the report and see what contaminants are excessive. I want to avoid maintaining an in-line filter if the differences are not that impressive. Anymore reviews for inline filters?

I understand there are de-ionizers that are very effective and expensive, however I referring the inline units that I see on the many of the auto detailing supply websites. They appear to be refillable filters that connect inline...

    Having a hard time deciding on what to go with

    Hey man, literally in the same situation, black metallic car, and want to properly maintain the finish. I am the type that over researches everything, however it seems that the detailing market is far more complicated than I anticipated. This may be magnified by the fact that I recently made a...
