    Trouble dressing older tires?

    I feel stupid asking this (I really feel I should know better) but has anyone ever had trouble getting tire dressing to take on older tires? I've been seeing this happen a lot lately when I do cars for others. If the tires are older, it seems the tire dressing are just not as effective. This...

    Hydrofluoric Acid to clean wheels?

    Hydrofluoric Acid to clean wheels? Found out that one of the local express detailers are using this to clean customer's wheels (it's their "go to" wheel cleaner from what I'm told) and this struck me as an astronomically bad idea. Am I out of the loop here or is it indeed a bad idea? :dunno:

    Most Missed (Discontinued) Products

    We all know that products come and go, and sometimes good products just don't sell well enough to stay on the markets. Others might get axed because of things like VOC regulations. I know that Megs #16 and Pinnacle Paste Glaz are missed, but what are some others you miss? Personally, I miss...

    D151 & Duragloss 501

    As we all know, these are both very popular AIO products. The general consensus seems to be that D151 has more corrective ability, while 501 is a superior cleaner. I'm curious if anyone here has thought to combine the two products as use them as a single step. It seems like a great way to get...

    Oil Based Dressings

    Anyone here prefer them, perhaps for engine bays and such? I picked up some CG Blue Guard II as part of a package deal recently and have been pleasantly surprised with it.

    Buying LC 5.5" CCS 6 Pack...which combination to get?

    I picked up the Harbor Freight DA polisher (great item for the money, FYI) for Christmas and decided to pick up some LC pads. Seems that the 5.5" CCS pads have a good rep and the 6 pack is a good deal. I'm just curious which ones I should select. Looking for some ideas before I proceed. Thanks!

    Can you still purchase Meguiar's #16?

    I know that it's been discontinued in the States, but been told you could order it from places like Canada and the UK. If that's true, where would I go to do that? Thanks in advance!

    DIY paint job. Anyone here ever tried it?

    I am thinking about taking the plunge on this with my 1994 Mustang GT. The car is originally from Chicago and while it has been well maintained mechanically and in the interior, the paint is definitely showing it's age. I would like to repaint it, but lack the funds to have it done so I may go...

    Feedback needed: Surf City Diamond Edge Metal Dressing

    I'm just curious if anyone out there has any experience using this product on chrome. I've been thinking about picking some up, however I noticed that Surf City has it's own dedicated chrome polish but according to some posts here that product it meant more to restore damaged chrome. Anyways...

    My intro thread

    Hey everyone! My name is Eric and I live in Tampa. I was turned onto this site several years ago from my friend from the Mustang scene, Wytstang. After lurking here for all that time, I figured it was time I got involved in the conversations for once. :buffing: Looking forward to talking shop...
