Been some time since I've been on here so not up on the "latest & greatest". I am finally finishing up my bottle of Duragloss 521 that I used for bird bombs and everything else a QD might be used for. Are people still using this as their goto QD, and if not what have you moved onto? I tried...

Well I am almost finished with my supply of Amazing Roll-Off and am looking to get it or something better in my next purchase. I like ARO's versatility (I use it on my tires, wheel wells, and even wheels since it is supposedly clear coat safe). What I don't like is that I can't dilute it to...

I recently switched glass cleaners to Spraway. It works pretty well, but makes a heck of a mess when sprayed directly on the glass. I end up getting overspray on the paint around the windows unless I decide to spray it onto my microfiber first. My question is: Do you feel it is necessary to...

Do any of you use a polish to touch up small areas after a routine car wash? I never hear about using polish with or without a DA or rotary to do a small touch up after a routine car wash rather than a full correction. I have some small spots of something that clay, bug & tar remover, mineral...

I am running out of Klasse AIO and I am thinking about trying an alternative for no other reason than to see what else is out there. Would Duragloss #501 be comparable? Is #501 ok to use on trim the way AIO is? If anyone feels there are other alternatives that might be worth trying, please...

I know there have been some similar threads, but they are not usually all that specific. I am curious what items other than vehicles do you polish, wax, etc. with tools normally reserved for cars? What tools/products do you use for these other items? Here are some of my examples: I wax...

I am curious as to what you guys who live in colder climates do about storing your detailing products in your vehicle. I would love to keep a spray bottle of ONR in my car at all times throughout the winter for those times where it's need while on the road. I am thinking ONR at QD strength...

My boss recently crashed into my silver Xterra and I am going to need some body work. I'm from northern NJ (and nearby to Rockland County NY as well) and looking for a good shop to get the work done. I know you all know about good paintwork and appearance as detailers, so I am hoping to find a...

Has anyone tried a nozzle similar to this? I am curious how it might compare to the regular foam cannons people are using. I see a few manufacturers make this style of lance adapter. Amazon.com: FAIP Powerwasher Universal HI Pressure Foamer for Gas Machines #80086: Home Improvement

Here's an interesting one... I had some soda stains on the drivers side fabric seat (called steel cloth color) and tried to clean them up with AA Oxi Magic that has been sitting around for a few years. Where I sprayed the cleaner the seat is a bit darker in that spot. I used a wet dry vac...

I have these little rust colored and black spots on many different areas of my Nissan Xterra. I have tried Klasse AIO, Clay, 3M Cleaner Wax, Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner, Isopropyl, and finally Goo Gone. The only thing that seemed to help somewhat was using Goo Gone and even then it...

Yesterday I tried baby oil a.k.a mineral oil that smells terrible, to remove some dried wax on my outside black plastic mirrors. I didn't want to go the peanut butter, school eraser, or AIO route but rather try something new. I must say that rubbing the oil into the surface just ittle bit, and...

After reading so many great things about ARO on tires I am curious to know if it can also be used on wheels (clear coated aluminum specifically) and is it paint safe for say perhaps one helluva bird bomb or 10? Also with winter coming soon meaning only ONR washes, can ARO be used without having...

Just curious if anyone has used the PowerBall 4Paint and if so, what were your thoughts on it?

1 more question today...do the following 2 images look like clear coat failure to you? This is my 2006 Nissan Xterra stock aluminum wheel on my front passenger's side. This is the only wheel to have this problem and if it isn't clear coat failure any ideas what it may be? Should i bring it to...

Yesterday I cleaned my Xterra after way too long of not even getting a chance to wash it. Anyway, I noticed what looked like some paint or hardened bug guts were transferred onto my driver's side fender. During my washing with Meg's GC and my Schmitt, using the yellow backside of the Schmitt...

June 30, 1953 First Corvette produced The first Chevrolet Corvette, a white convertible roadster with a red interior, was produced in temporary facilities in Flint, Michigan. The Corvette was born as a dream car for the 1953 Motorama. The first all-fiberglass-bodied American sports car, the...

I was curious if anyone here uses an ONR/water mix as their windshield washer fluid? After all it seems that ONR is kind of made to release contaminants easily, but I don't know if it would affect the wiper blades at all. Let me know if you tried or currently use it, and also what ratio you are...

I have some "stuff" that is on my wheels that I am guessing is brake dust. It seems to only really be built up in the corner areas of where the spokes meet the outer wheel and also on the inner barrel of the wheel. I have tried clay, AIO, F21 wheels cleaner, etc. without any luck. In the past...
