Hi Autogeekers! Wow, looks like it's been 10 years since I've logged in! I've been happily keeping my vehicles looking slightly better than average using my knowledge and products from a decade ago that I came to like and trust (Klasse, Wolfgang prep and sealant, 303 protectant, DP total...

I see numerous references to paint hardness, as in "that xxx from manufacturer yyyy has soft paint, so...". A couple questions: 1. What difference does paint hardness make? 2. Knowing something about the hardness of a paint, how does that affect your approach? 3. Seems like hardness varies...

Hello, I've started using ONR and I have some DP no rinse on the way, too. I just love the No Rinse thing so far, doubly so in water scarce Denver. I'm wondering, though, if No Rinse products are appropriate for very, very, very dirty cars. Think 100 miles in heavy winter traffic in the...

Hello, I have the 3 part Wolfgang stuff on the way. I have a Volvo XC70 wagon, silver and a couple years old, that is new to me. I want to work out some flaws and make it mine with a good detail, as is my style. I've had a PC buffer for some time and I've worked with a number of products...

Hiya, I've lurked here a while off and on an thought I'd say hello. Just picked up an 06 Volvo XC70 and I'm re-evaluating my usual MO and coming up with a strategy for this beautiful car. Some time ago ago I got on the step-above-the-usual detailing track with my last car, a Saab 900 coupe...
