I've got a really badly oxidized roof to do on my new to me SUV and have both products to use with a yellow pad. They're the strongest I have so I'm wondering which one is more effective?

I've been having some problems getting a hood shined up and I was thinking about how cold it's been in the garage lately and how maybe that's having an effect. Normally I work in the spring/summer but I just got a new to me car that's pretty badly oxidized. The garage temps have been in the...

I'm doing a 97 land cruiser in fairly good condition I guess, lots of swirls, but the hood is a whole other story. It almost looks like flat paint thats extremely dull, especially over the straight six engine where I guess heat contributed to the problem. Like a two foot wide stripe down the...

Sometimes when you're not home part of the poop will be really stuck and won't come loose with just QD and a towel, unless you rub hard and risk scratching the paint. I wonder if carrying a spray bottle of distilled water with baking soda dissolved in it won't neutralize the acid till you get...

I got a couple sample size Liquid Souveran spray wax bottles last summer that were a slightly milky looking light yellow color. Just now I received two more bottles with a recent order and they're much darker in color. Almost orange/brown, or like very dark urine color. Does anyone have any...

The red Ulti-Mitt wash mitt used to be double sided so you could flip it around on your hand to the other side when the first side ran low on suds, and just keep right on washing. I loved that feature and the foam is otherwise perfect for tough but scratch free washing. But now it's only half...

I've heard other Conti DWS owners talk about the heavy white coating on the sidewalls of these tires, and when I put a dressing on mine - 303, Pinnacle, and Optimum brand dressings so far - each one comes right off in the first or second rain and the tire is all white again. I scrubbed them...

I wash the car often so it's never that dirty but if I'm going to re-apply a tire dressing do I need to scrub them, and if so with what? Can I just run a rag full of car soap over them during the wash and then apply more dressing? How do you guys do it?

This is the case of the tires I scrubbed with a very stiff brush and now they wont take a shine anymore. The lighter area at the upper edge is where I 'missed' scrubbing with the brush. It's smooth and still shines up nicely. The rest is rougher and kind of like brushed suede. [/IMG]...

I had applied black onyx to my fairly new not even two month old Continental DWS tires but this brownish crud kept showing through, so I first washed them with car soap, and then Megs APC and a scuff pad, but they still weren't clean. So I got some Mothers tire and wheel cleaner, a stiff...

I have some free samples of LS from last year that I was saving for this spring (now) but they appear to be separating, and even when I shake them up little bubbles of clear-ish liquid remain unmixed inside the little see-through bottles. Is this stuff still good?

Or am I better off just picking up the Gold Class locally? Does it do anything better? I think GC is great at not scratching but it seems top leave some more dirt behind compared to some other soaps I have. Like Poor Boys.

I have a pole mounted microfiber washing head from autozone or somewhere like that but I just don't really trust the quality of the micro mop head part not to scratch. But I love using it because I get the job done much faster and I don't have to bend at all for the lower parts (bad back). Is...

This is what I just got done trying with pads I used for applying WGDGPS and it made cleaning out this notoriously difficult sealant much easier. It was 91% IPL diluted slightly to maybe 80-85% or so, and I sprayed it on the pad heavily with the still wet sealant, then washed with Dawn. It took...

I had ordered the same wool mitt from AG that I've been using for years now only this time I got a different smaller kind that doesn't match the pic on the website. Do they do that, just substitute one for another? (I've had this one before and after it shrinks I can't get my hand in it.) Has...

I have two free ounces to try, how far will it get me? How much to cover a whole car? I never used it before.

I see the kit Diamondite sells comes with a pad but I just have the one bottle of PolyShield. Which one of my LC pads should I use?

My friends kid has a one year old Audi A4 (Black) that never got waxed and now has dirt on it that didn't all wash off with a strong concentration with Dawn. And we washed it well too. I figure it can't be good to polish with that gritty stuff still on the paint so how do I get it off? Is there...

I recently had a really hard time taking sealant out of some micro towels and it just occurred to me, why not put some IPA on them when you're finished, and then wash as usual? Since the washing didn't work for me until I used Dawn I was wondering if the IPA trick would work. Anybody ever try this?

The Diamondite full glass kit comes with a specific pad for the Poly Shield step but I just have the bottle of poly shield, so what would be an equivalent pad to use out of my LC CCS collection? Softer or harder? Does anyone have the full kit that can compare it to an LC pad? Or how about...
