Has anyone tried to apply Collinite 845 on a coated car with CSL and EXO already installed? How did it work out? I like the slickness of CSL EXO and the longevity, but I also like the Collinite 845 glow. Wondering if I coat my car will I have to say goodbye to 845, or would 845 still add...

I have a Flex 3401 and a Flex PE14-2. I think the 3401 is smooth and easy to use, I have the 4", 4.5" and 5.5" backing plates, and use 4"- 6.5" pads. I use the PE14 with the lake country extensions and 1"-3" pads mostly, but also for larger pads occasionally. I like trying new detailing...

I am setting up a 1 car garage as a detail bay. I am trying to find the perfect hose. I have basically narrowed it down to a green 'Flexzilla', one of the 'perfect water hoses', or a coiled hose. I don't like the durability issues and the constant 'grow - shrink' with the 'pocket hose'...

I am about to paint the interior of the garage. I am trying to decide on the color. I think either a light gray or a white will work best, but I am unsure which would be better. My main concern is not aesthetics, but the way the wall color will interact with the paint when inspecting for...

I am interested in Gtechniq's product line but find the array of products they offer confusing. I have emailed their website directly a few times but I have not received a reply. I want to know what they best way to achieve the ultimate Gtechniq finish is. I assume it involves EXO, but...

I am the proud new owner of a 1 car garage. I am planning on customizing it to be the ultimate car detailing bay. First on the list is to paint. What color and sheen would you use to paint? I was thinking a semi-gloss ultra pure white. Thoughts?

Just moved to a house with a GARAGE! Easily my favorite space in the house. It has a 1 car garage that I am converting into a car wash bay. First project on the list is to install a water supply. I will be running separate hot and cold water lines and I want to be able to have one spout that...

I have used many things as a polish remover, but I have kind of settled on Mineral Spirits as my preferred product. The thing is I have always used the clear variety. I bought a bottle at Home Depot last week and when pouring it into a secondary container I noticed it was a white milky color...

I love Menzerna polishes, but I do not like the caps on their 16oz products. I much prefer the caps on the 32 oz bottles of Menzerna. U.S Plastics have all kinds of options for replacement caps to purchase, but there are many sizes and varieties. I have purchased a couple to try and replace...

I had the chance to try two new products this past weekend. Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel followed by the Ultima Interior Guard Plus. Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel, interior cleaner, upholstery cleaner Ultima Interior Guard Plus 12 oz., interior protectant, rubber & vinyl protectant, dash...

I have a small collection of spray bottles that I use to dilute products, or maybe just use them instead of the bottle the product originally came in. When you use all the product in the bottle what do you do to clean it out and prepare it for a different product? Do you just rinse with water...

I am wondering what the big advantage to No Rinse washes and foam guns is. With the No Rinse wash you still have to agitate right? You basically just don't have to spray off with a hose? I can see the advantage for washing a vehicle in cold weather or mobile detailing but otherwise, is there...

I am aware of the concept of using the least aggressive method first and then working your way up the aggressive scale until you get the desired result when machine polishing. But lets say I start with some Menzerna Super Finish and a LC White pad. That didn't get me the result I was looking...

I have been using DA polishers for the last couple of years, first the PC then the 3401. I would like to start using a PE14 rotary polisher, but I am concerned. I have read all that I have found and watched many videos about correct usage, but there is one point of caution that I continue to...

I have been looking at these small vacuums that double as a blower. CG have one that they sell on their site, but I haven't seen it on AG. I am more interested in the Makita BUB182Z cordless version. I want to use it to basically be a quick vacuum for the car that I don't have to drag a...
