    Recommendations for a black wax?

    I have a garage queen with single stage original lacquer paint that is very thin, that has some scratches I's like to hide rather than try to polish out. I don't ever want to repaint the car, to maintain the originality. I want a wax that has the rich warm look of a nuba, and not so much the...

    My last client washed his cars with water.

    JUST water. No soap, for I'm guessing 5 years. This I did not know when I accepted the Job to wash and wax his Lincoln Town Car for $100. I don't get many jobs, and I was extremely pleased that someone was willing to offer me $100 from the start with no haggling over price. He is in his 70's...

    1956 Corvette Race Car

    This is a vintage race car, raced a couple times a year for the past 25 years. It isby no means a show car, as it has had a few wrecks (not the driver's fault-one broken wheel that put it into the wall on the outside of turn 9 at Riverside, for example. These cars crack over the years due to...

    How long can products last when the car is an enclosed garage?

    I know that waxes are said to last 2-3 months, but I'm assuming that is when it is parked outside. What if the car is kept in an enclosed garage constantly? In my case, the car is in CA in a non climate controlled garage. What about rubber products, as well. I ask this, because being in the...

    Wax or sealant for a new car?

    I've heard that new paint needs to cure for a couple of months, and should not be waxed or sealed, and I've heard that wax is ok, but sealant is not. I was going to use sealant on someone elses new car, but perhaps I shouls use wax instead. I was going to use either Griot's sealant, WDGPS, or...

    My first project with a Flex- a 56 Chevy

    I wet sanded with Meguiar's unigrit 2500 and 3000, and then buffed with the Flex 3401 and the Kompressor pads with System One polish. I first used the purple pad for the really rough areas, and then the orange pad in the colorsanded areas. I then used the white pad, as I used the white pad on...

    What is the best LSP to protect against water spots?

    Is it a wax, or a sealant? I like WDGPS for sealant, but I wonder if wax would be better for that, or it would be the same. I do plan on using wax over sealant, but is a wax better protection than sealant against spotting? Sprinklers can be rather troublesome.

    Reappearing scratches

    For a few years, a few spots on my father's black clear coated Deltron acrylic urethane 56 Chevy have been really cloudy and looked like they were severely oxidized. The car had been out in the sun for a few years and really hadn't been adequately protected. So maybe 5 months ago, I spent maybe...

    The MaxVac Autobahn Vacuum

    I just received my vacuum and I must say I am rather impressed. The hose and hose extension tube attachment are made of much heavier material than I expected, which seems like very high quality. The unit is sleek, and the brushes and other attachments seem very well made. It cleans as well as...

    Duller 3/8 inch spots on wax after using Dodo Supernatural

    I didn't notice them after I first applied and buffed it off, but after a few days, little spots appeared. Any ideas? I have never seen this before. It was SN in the wood container. With a lot of rubbing with QD, they come out. My car also has a car cover on it all the time.

    We need reviews of LSPs with pics after polishing and before LSP and after LSP

    That way, we can really determine how great an LSP is. This also applies to rubber, vinyl, and leather protectants pics after cleaning and before protectant, and after the protectant.
