I've searched for the difference between CarPro's CQuart's (any variation) and their Dlux product but the only thing I can find is that DLux is thicker so that it better protects wheels. I was thinking since Cquartz it more expensive that it might have more ceramic in it but I don't find this...

I don't see that AG sells biodegradable gloves so I'm hoping it is okay to mention this here. Showa's biodegradable gloves are _finally_ back to the lower price that they were 3 years ago. This is currently only on the large size. I've been using these gloves for some time now. According to...

I installed a polycarbonate windshield and I think fingerprints appear when if not touched. Does anyone know of a good oleophobic coating that can be applied to glass or plastic that really works at resisting fingerprints?

I'm looking for a product to use on anodized aluminum (in my case, black). Something that is known not to leave any residue that can be seen and preferably a spray. So far the only thing I've found that works is Meguiar's x-Press Spray Wax. All others I've used usually leave a white residue or...

Anyone have a good current source for biodegradable gloves? Last time I paid about $13 for 100 large and now they seem to be around $25 for 100. I was using the Showa brand, which were good.

First time polishing plastic parts. In this case I started with the fender which were small so I broke out my Flex PE-8 with a 3" microfiber pad. This did not work well and the polish seem to dry fast and stick to the paint. I switched over to a foam pad and this seemed to work better. I ended...

Anyone have experience with cutting out or punching out larger pads to make smaller ones? mainly I'm looking at microfiber pads. I know there is a punch that is sold to do this but I recently ordered some MF pads that were too big for my polisher. I cut them down an inch with scissors and after...

Let me start by saying, this was a mistake that _I_ made and I'll own it. I recently bought a polisher with a 5" backing plate. Wanted to pick up some microfiber pads and I saw some Meg's 6" pads. Thought 1/2" overhang... perfect. Some of you know where I'm going with this. Yup... Meg's "6...

Picked up a Maxshine, I mean Shine Master, I mean... Have a Flex 3401 and love it. Also use a Flex PE8 for small spots. Have a Porter Cable as well but it stays in the bag these days. Wanted to try a long throw polisher so went with the budget Max Shine 15mm. I knew that they changed their name...

Probably an odd question but does anyone know how to make a sealant thicker? I have been using Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (the best sealant I've ever used) but the liquid has gone super thin, almost to a water state. While it still seems to work just fine, it is a little awkward getting...

Just had xpel protective film put on my car and want to coat it with ceramic coating. Any thoughts? I've put ceramic coating on other parts of the vehicle already. As I understand it the xpel film is not very slick so the coating does this and also helps protect the film to some degree. I'm...

I mainly use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the interior of my vehicles. It provides good UV protection and leaves a matte finish. I've applied it many different ways. All of them required that the product be applied or immediately wiped off with a rag. I've not switched to the following method. I...

Did not see a thread on this. Anyone 3D print parts for detailing purposes? Suggestions?

Read a prior thread on LED lights and ordered up the parts. It was cheaper to buy 4 120w/18w LED flood lights so I went ahead and ordered an extra set of clamps and light sockets so that I could use all 4 at the same time. Only drawback to this set up is plugging in all of the light. But a a...

I don't like poo poo'ing on a product but I also think people should know the truth... and for information as to how to make the best of the product. I've owed the 4" Lake County backing plate for about a year now. I have probably used it 40 or 50 times. It is a great product except for one...

I've posted some photos of my aluminum wheels. I'm 95% sure that they are clear coated. If correct, I've read that the best way to remove the scratches is to polish them as I would clear coat on paint. I've used my Flex PE-8 with a 2" orange pad but it did not seem to have any effect. I thought...

I've not seen much discussion about this product. Any thoughts? I've watched a few videos of their products and they seem to have been around for awhile and specialized in leather repairs and maintenance. I have an issue with my 2014 Ford Fusion and the aniline leather dye rubbing off. I...

Been detailing my own vehicle's for a few years (10) but I'd say it's a hobby that is 3rd or 4th down on my list. Stepped up from the PC 7424 to the Flex 3401 a couple of months ago and just got the Flex PE8 in yesterday. About a month ago I detailed my friends full size truck. That was a bear...

have owed a Porter Cable 7424 for many years and just picked up the Flex 3401. Love the 3401. I mainly detail by own car and truck but every once in awhile will work on a friends vehicle as I enjoy seeing the improvement. I have 6.5", 5.5" and 4" pads for the PC and Flex. I've been looking at...

About a year ago I commented on a issue I saw with the way AG marketed it's free shipping and price match. It was just a comment but what really hit me was the condescending reply I got from AG. I had not bought anything from AG in awhile anyway but that drive me away from their store and forum...
