After not doing anything to my Mustang since before the winter, I finally found some time to do a full day detail. The paint was in pretty good shape so I used M205 on a polishing pad with my Dewalt 849x rotary. I cleaned up with Klean Strip Prep All. My LSP was two coats of 4 Star Ultimate...

Hello! It's been about a year since I was here last. Things have been pretty busy around the house. I just finished rebuilding my garage and putting a new suspension in my Mustang (Koni Sports and Steeda Sport Springs). I finally got a chance to clean up the car last weekend. I got out the...

Yesterday I posted a series of pictures of two coats of UPP after a two step correction with Menzerna 1500/4000 using a Dewalt Rotary. This morning I added a topping of Pinnacle Souveran Pase Wax. The Souveran added some additional depth to the reflections. Applying the souveran is much like any...

I've had a cople of bottles of 4 Star UPP in my collection for a couple of years and never gotten around to trying it. CeeDog has written some glowing comments about it. I recently re-read his review and decided to try it. Last weekend I did a correction using a DeWalt rotary, Menzerna SIP1500...

I recently brought my 2011 Mustang to the dealer for warranty paint work. The Mustang has an aluminum hood that has a tendency to bubble the paint by the lip. When i went to pick the car up I pulled out my trusty Brinkman Xenon light and inspected the hood. The hood was covered with swirls all...

I did a full detail on my Mustang yesterday with my Dewalt 849X, Grit Guard Pad Washer, DP Pad Cleaner, and LC Waffle Pro pads, LC Flexible Backing Plates: 1. Dawn wash 2. 3M Tape 3. SF4000 (Super Finish); 4. M105 in two spots for some deeper scratches. 5. 3M Perfect it Ultrafine Polish...

The question about whether or not you can apply a sealant over a wax repeatedly comes up. Some say no and others say yes. I always thought that it makes the most sense to start clean for the best bonding. The answer seems to be, it depends on the wax...

Welcome to the Official Waxstock 2012 Website - The UK's First Detailing and Car Care Show | 26th August, Peterborough UK For anyone on ther other side of the pond.

After reading most of the threads on Duragloss and reaching out to Richy, I decided to go ahead and use #501 as an AIO on my wife's DD, a 2007 greystone metallic Jeep Grand Cherokee. As I had done a complete detail last year it didn't need any correction. I was anxious to use my new Dewalt 849X...

My dog woke me up at 3:30 AM this morning to go out. He's a seven month old Rottie. My first Rottie, passed away 6 years ago. His nickname was "Truckbutt". Since I was up I decided to wash the car and put a coat of Liquid Souveran on it. I finished buffing it out just as the sun was coming up...

With the recent addition of a rotary polisher to my tool kit, I am exploring all things rotary. I have a bottle of 3M Ultrafine polish that I plan to try soon. I was considering buying the 3M Perfect-It Plus Ultrafina Foam Polishing Pads to use with it. They are twice the price of LC pads. I'm...

Menzerna P085rd is very popular on this forum and can be used both DA and rotary. I was wondering if anyone had compared it to 3M Perfect IT 3000 Ultafine Machine Polish (Ultrafina) on a rotary. I just got some, but I'm waiting for a day without rain or chores to try it out.

Lately I've gotten in the habit of reading MSDS's on products before I buy them as it's one of the only ways to see what's in them to compare. Have you noticed that some of the products branded for different purposes have virtually the same ingredients? UWW+ and Aquawax both have Siloxane. Are...

While searching the forum for a good AIO with both good correction ability and durability, I came across Duragloss 671 Swirl Mark Remover. Does anyone have any experience with it? If so can you compare it to Meguiars D151? Thanks, Scott

I did a Google search and could't find anything useful. Has anyone tried this combination?

I just tried out my new Flex PE-14-2 150 on my 1998 Explorer. I picked it up with the 10% off sale. I had never used a rotary before. My experience has been with the Flex XC3401vrg and the Megs. I read what I could find on the web about using a rotary and gave it a shot. The Flex is well...

I've been wanting to buy the new Flex rotary for a long time. I don't know why. I already have the XC3401. It must be a guy/tool thing. Usually you guys protect me from my madness by excluding buffers from your sales. But this time you left it wide open! So needless to say, one is on order. With...

The vehicles are all detailed for the winter, so it was time for some mandatory vehicle mechanical maintenance. Today I had the pleasure of doing front and rear brakes on my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used Duralast Gold from Autozone. I've been very happy with their performance. My wife...

I got my first shipment of UWW+ with my order from the Fall Sale. I mixed it as directed. I used .75 oz in a 32 oz Spraymaster bottle. I used it yesterday for the first time. It worked well and left a nice shine. Shortly after finishing, I noticed a mild but uncomfortable burning sensation on...

In preparation for another NYC winter, I applied a layer of Collinite #845 this morning over two coats of already existing BFWD. The more I use Collinite #845, the more I love it. I gues now I have no more excuses for not fixing the shingles on the house.
