    Bug & Tar Remover

    They sell it in gallons for $39.99 and works perfectly fine diluted 1:1. That's right at your price point. Don't know why I didn't just link the gallon one.

    Possible Spring 2014 Chicagoland Detail Day?

    ^^No interest in body panels or more cars? If they aren't needed then I won't worry about it. I think the panels would be exciting because we could use them for testing/lessons and be worry free about them. If everyone is interested in another car or two, then I'm hoping to get a list of cars...

    First time detailing and Subaru paint

    If this was my first purchase I would skip the $195 Fuzion. Although I've never used the 'hybrid' paste; I don't see the value for a beginner. Just my opinion... All the other advice from the other members is fantastic. I think everyone should have ONR or an alternative in their collection...

    Possible Spring 2014 Chicagoland Detail Day?

    Portillos is probably 20ish minutes down Rt. 14. It's in Crystal Lake off of 14. Not sure if I can make it or not yet; depends on the date....but if I'm able, then I can easily get pretty much any car/truck/SUV if needed to work on and I can also easily get body panels that we don't have to...

    Adam's versus Menzerna

    Thanks. I guess I remember slightly wrong...thought I read somewhere that he was more 'under-impressed' compared to Menzerna. Can't comment myself though; I've never used their new 2-step.

    Adam's versus Menzerna

    If I remember correctly Phil from Detailers Domain did a review on their new 2-step with positive results. However, at the end he still claimed he would reach for Menzerna first. The link to that review seems to be broken/lost. Maybe you can somehow find it and read it yourself.

    Getting to be a Pet Peeve..."Partial Reviews"

    There are so many variables that affect durability. -How was the surface prepped? -Temperatures when applied and temperatures throughout its life. -Drying agents? (Wax boosters, actual spray waxes/sealants) -Weather -Location - and whatever else I'm forgetting.. It's so hard to predict or...

    Meguires or Adam's?

    I personally don't like Mr. Pink and respect your opinion and your choice (not every product is for everyone). I've never seen a negative review on Adam's soap, but have seen plenty negative reviews about Mr. Pink. I respect that you actually tried their product though. Chemical Guys...

    Meguires or Adam's?

    I completely agree. I don't use many Meguiar's products anymore, but D156 is so amazing that even thinking about it makes me want to go use it right now, but it's -6 degrees and my car is full of salt. This next part isn't directed towards you; don't want you to think it is since I...

    Meguires or Adam's?

    ...But Adam's soap is exponentially better IMO and I'm not even close to an "Adam's homer". Have you tried Adam's soap ever? I cringe when I see people say that Megiuar's Gold Class soap is excellent or when they use Stoners Invisible Glass and say "it's the best ever!" The reason I bring up...

    Meguires or Adam's?

    I agree, so then you can go to the source; same quality, same towels...WAY better price. Thier stuff works fine. I have used every product they carry except some of their new stuff/re-introduced stuff. I agree with what others said above: 1. Do your own testing and see what you like. 2...

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    I bought 4 Griots Garage Heavy Duty wheel cleaner from my local AAP for $9.99 each. That's 35oz with a sprayer for $9.99. This was about 2 weeks ago and that's all they had in stock. I was thinking about buying more online and having it shipped to the store but didn't pull the trigger :(. Sale...

    Wheels vs. Rims

    Hey bro, where can I find "MSDS Sheets"? Also, I'm a Bears fan and I love going to Soldiers Field. I enjoy eating Potbellys. Thank goodness I remembered my PIN number. :D

    Gunked up rims

    Consider steam and a clay bar. A steam cleaner USUALLY makes a wheel spotless...not including any damage that has occurred. 'Gunked' up wheel process for me: 1. APC and dedicated ferrous fighting wheel cleaners + various brushes 2. Steam cleaner + various brushes and a MF towel 3. Clay Its...

    Stupid Winter Roads....Spots Will Not Wash Off...What to Use??

    See if your local automotive stores carry "Griots Garage Heavy Duty Wheel cleaner"...this works just like IronX but isn't as strong most likely. My local Advanced Auto Parts carries it.

    Possible Spring 2014 Chicagoland Detail Day?

    Where are you located in LITH? I've never seen a ZR1 roaming around :(. I'm in CL of off Miller...kind of. Once you guys settle on a date and location, I'll see if I can make it and I'll try to see if my woman can get me a nice car or two to act as guinea pigs.
