Most of you won't have any idea of what I'm talking about. In 2005, Meguiar's came out with a collection of wash brushes. I was a beta tester for these brushes as well as several other detailing products. The brushes were synthetic but they did not cause marring even on my black Ram Hemi. I...

Just used the coin-op to get the big stuff off my Tacoma. Need to finish up with ONR Wash and Shine (not Wash and Wax). Will Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax work OK with this no rinse wash or should I apply a cleaner wax like Meg's Mirror Bright Polishing Wax instead. This will be the final wax...

My daughter called and asked how to remove a bunch of pigeon droppings on her Subaru. I suggested that she try the usual Autogeek recommendations. They didn't work. She also tried some bug and tar remover. That didn't work either. Her car was parked in an older underground garage. She might...

This has been an ongoing problem on all three of my wife's white Gen 2 Tacomas (2005, 2011 and 2015). We live on a gravel road and every winter we end up with a gritty stain on the fender above the exhaust pipe. I think that it is a mixture of exhaust condensation and dust. After ten years you...

I need to purchase another bottle of rinseless wash. Most recently I have been using ONR Wash and Wax and like the results. Is this still a good choice? I do not wish to purchase anything that comes only in larges quantities. As it is, a 32 ounce bottle of ONR lasts me for over a year. (In...

Had recent repair/repaint done to my wife's Tacoma. Discovered light overspray on windshield. The body shop is 500 miles away so it isn't going back. Try clay and then what?

Anyone else use cotton chenille wash mitts when doing a rinseless wash? They have worked very well for me going clear back to the days of QEW. I should add that I always get the really bad stuff off my truck before doing a rinseless wash. During the summer I do a quick hose rinse. If I have...

Which will give the better winter protection...Regular ORN followed by Meg's Ultimate Spray Wax or just ONR Wash and Wax? The extra step in a applying the Spray Wax is not a concern. My trucks are presently protected with Meg's Ultimate Wax and both trucks are garaged when not being driven.

I had a cloth seat cover replaced on my 2012 Ram. The seat cover is tight but it still has a few packing wrinkles in it. My dealer's service manager said the wrinkles will disappear after the new cover has been in use for a while. True? If not, is there anything that I can do to correct...

There are tiny flecks of road tar on the sides of my white Ram....3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner or clay to remove them? Back in the"good old days"...no question...just get out the solvent. Now I don't know which would be best. The flecks are every small. Easily removed with either...

Several years ago it was recommended that after polishing the uncoated polished aluminum engine cases on my 1995 Harley Sportster with Mothers Billet Polish, that I protect them with a "pure" carnuba wax rather than a synthetic "wax". Is this still true. If so why? I have both Meguiar's...

How does Meguiar's Ultimate Wax hold up to the use of rinseless wash products.....both those with and without wax? Any differences by brand? Tom :cool:

I was just about ready to order some Opti Coat 2.0 and "go at it" on my 2012 white Ram and my wife's 2011 white Tacoma, but then I was overwhelmed by a sense of "why". I first considered Opti Coat when I realized that I may have compromised a repainted hood by a bit of fairly aggressive...

I know the Porter Cable 7424 was a sander before detailers discovered it for polishing paint. When I bought my PC about ten years ago I bought it as a polisher not expecting to ever use it for sanding. Well, the time has come to use it for what it was intended. I have a considerable amount of 4...

Just over a year ago, I made this post http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/48680-opti-coat-2-0-comments-questions-old-guy.html I'm an even older guy now and still have a few questions. I've read numerous posts about Opti-Coat on this forum...

Background Information (long and wordy): I think that when my body shop was doing final correction on my truck's hood repair/repaint, the tech might have scuffed though the shop clearcoat. The scuff is about 3/4 inch long and about 1/8 inch wide. My truck is white and I only notice the scuff...

I'm in the process of "modernizing" my detailing equipment and products. I came across a set of 6-inch Lake Country Variable Contact Pads (cutting, polishing, waxing) that I bought when I first started using a Porter Cable 7424. These were the recommended pads at the time. Over the years I...

Can I use a Lake Country 3-inch backing plate with the Meguiar's 3-inch microfiber discs or do I need to order the rather pricey Meg's 3-inch backing plate? I don't plan to use the 3-inch discs very often.

How effective/safe are Meg's Microfiber cutting discs on a 7424. I'd plan to use them for only spot repair. If using Meg's Correction Compound what is the suggested speed setting?

I've reviewed Mike's article on updating a 7424...How to MAXIMIZE your DA Polisher. It's time to update my ten year old pc that is still working just fine. I already use a five inch backing plate. Now about the pads. I'm thinking 5.5 inch Lake Country flat Yellow, Orange, and White pads. I...
