    Can I use this to polish?

    This link is to a tool manufacturer's site: Grex Power Tools - AOS368 - 2" 105° Angle Random Orbital Sander I'm always confused since folks have used PC sanders as polishers from way back when. This little guy is intriguing because of the optional pads and extension...

    MFs in your SWMBO's washing machine

    Question for you fellas out there. When you wash your precious microfibers in the household washing machine, what do you do? I've been using a dedicated MF shampoo/cleaner for the wash and vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser. Here's my question, should I be pre-washing the washing...

    Meguiar's EXTRA

    I had stocked up on this a while back and really like the product. It performs well and I find it relatively gentle to surfaces, while tough on the grime. However, I'm nearly out and I can't find it anywhere! What would be a suitable replacement for this that I would be happy with?

    Cleaning Instrument Panel Cover "Glass"

    It seems to me that instrument panel plastic lenses vary in hardness and scratch resistance almost like paints do. I am having a hard time with most instrument panels. It seems that no matter what I do, I scratch the plastic lens. I'm looking for as near a foolproof method as possible...

    Choosing a pressure washer

    Got the OK from SWMBO that a pressure washer is in my future. Now I need to pick one. Are there any good basic primers on what psi / gpm should be considered a minimum when getting one of these units? Gas/electric? Type/design of pump? Anything to avoid? It's confusing. I...

    Products specifically for salt removal

    I do not believe that AG carries anything like this, most products seem to be industrial in nature. I am wondering if anyone uses these during or just after the winter to remove any salt residue from the jambs, underbody, etc. Eastwood sells a similar product. I'm not affiliated or...

    B&S Pressure Washer

    I spotted this at a local store. Seems like a nice unit. I want to make sure that I can hook a foam cannon to this. It seems like I would basically use the handle from the pressure washer and replace the end of the wand/nozzle with the AG cannon. I didn't want to post a link, but the make /...

    CyberClean?

    I was looking for that rubber block that has been mentioned on here. Folks use it instead of clay. While searching for information on the block, I came across this... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRl5FrHxsZI]YouTube - Cyber Clean English[/video] (I am in no way associated with...

    Black '09 Dodge

    Just a little work on the wife's van today. It's shown with wash, clay, XMT360 and one coat of 4* UPP. I had trouble getting the flakes in the paint to pop... Suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

    Can sealants be used over other sealants?

    Do you get double the life by adding a second coat of sealant over the first? e.g. Griots Sealant over XMT360 4*UPP over XMT360 4*UPP over 4*UPP WG3.0 over 4*UPP

    Can I get a ruling on this one

    You have just finished claying the car and getting ready for the next step, in my case XMT360. A quick squall blows through and wets the car. OK to dry the car and pick back up where I left off? Or do I need to start all over again? (I hear rainwater is soft.)

    Plexus

    I just got my first can of Plexus from PBMA. I must say that it came with a nice mango microfiber towel. I laundered that bad boy right away. It did a nice job on my HP monitor screen. I am excited to try it on my headlights and see if I can keep them from long-term yellowing. On to the...

    DP Wheel Glaze

    I just bought some of the DP Wheel Glaze. It says that it will remove brake dust. I should wash the wheel before applying the DP Wheel Glaze. Yes?

    Which Collinte to try?

    The new AG discount has me itching for some new products to try. I want to try some Collinite. Should I get the 476 or the 885? I am also wondering which paint sealant to try. Four Star UPP seems to be well received. Considering the discount, is one of the more expensive products a better...

    My favorite non-detailing detailing tool is...

    Just an idea for a new topic to help share some good ideas that might be out there. For instance, I like to use old hotel keys (electronic card type) to help clean in the crevices of the vehicle interior. Wrap a wipe or cloth around the corner of the card and go to work in the crevices...

    Anyone use Surf City NanoSeal?

    I saw this on an episode of "Chop, Cut Rebuild." Seemed to do a nice job on the 'Cuda they restored. I thought I'd ask for opinions on this product before I ordered it.

    How can you tell if paint is hard or soft?

    I see a lot of folks that talk about paint being hard or soft. How can you tell ahead of time if paint is hard or soft? For instance, it seems as though the Honda Nighthawk Black Pearl has a reputation for being "soft." Whereas there is discussion about certain ceramic clears being "hard."...

    Cash for Clunkers - did you see this coming?

    I was in the market for a new minivan. Local remaining Chrysler dealer new that I wanted to "clunk" my old pickup. He called me today. Bad news, said that Chrysler is cancelling all rebates come midnight Wednesday. He thinks I'll be better off taking what they'll give me on trade + rebates. I...
