I thought we had a classified section around here?

So when using your favorite brand of coating, I've noticed almost all of them make some type of coating boost, QD, or something specifically designed for their coatings. During normal care after the car is all coated, what do you do for maintenance and normal detailing? Do you stick with the...

Do you guys use your favorite coating (paint or wheel; but I'd think wheel due to hardness) on stainless steel exhaust tips? I've got gorgeous tips on all my vehicles. One of them is a turbo, so it generates LOTS of black stuff and pipes are oriented where it's very visible (straight out the...

Dude...just got done looking at a huge tool box at Harbor Freight. Typically their stuff doesn't hold up and I'm skeptical of getting tools and stuff from there, but I gotta say, I was impressed. I'm a Snap-On / Mac kinda guy, but this was descent. I mean even from a perspective that it...

So my halogen standing shop light finally died. The light socked deteriorated away. So now I'm trying to compare LED to Halogen and see which way I want to go. I had a 500 watt Halogen and it did a good job, but can you really have too much light? So how does this compare to LED? What...

Just a curiosity questions...do you guys use some type of product on the surface following every normal wash; like your favorite QD, H2OG&G, D156, or a spray wax of your favorite brand, etc, during the towel drying process? I typically have not been doing that and have never had any ill effects...

Didn't know where else to post this one since it's not really a question. whenever it rains and I'm at work or something with the car or truck just sitting in the parking lot, I always go to leave for the day and my vehicles will still be covered in beading water while every other car in the...

You guys use this? I've always been paranoid (maybe that's a bit extreme, but couldn't think of a better word) about having my surface completely clean and ready for lsp, and I'm hesitant Andrea split on doing an ipa wipe down. Seems like a good route to go if it's not snake oil. Suspicions...

So I've been using hyper dressing forever at this point and love the way it finishes out. However, I have my second set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's, and for both sets of these tires, they just don't like the D170. It looks all blotchy like it doesn't adhere or stay on evenly in spotty areas...

Had to get a spoiler repainted to fix a small little accident! Ooops. Anyways...it's a 2016 and the Ford dealer body shop did the repair and repaint. It actually turned out very well. I was at first scared that the repair would be slicker than the rest of the car, but they actually did an...

So when you guys get the itch to try a new product, but your surface is already perfect and covered with your favorite LSP, what do you use to clean or strip it down, with no paint correction needed, to play with the new LSP? If it matters, want to try out Wolfgang Fuzion.

PBL Surface vs Wheel Coating? So I got a new set of wheels. Niche Targa in the anthracite color. They are much more satin finish than I had hoped for, but still very happy with them. I also want to try a coating on them as I know carnuba is just going to attract the brake/road dust, so...

So I have never expanded out and tried any coatings before. I've read a little bit, but thought I'd just start anew and ask... Got some new Niche wheels for the car. They are the grey/anthracite color. I'm super happy with them, but they are a tad bit more "satin" finish than I expected. I...

How do you (if it's even possible) preserve that quality, gorgeous, satin finish/appearance on a nice, brand-new, leather steering wheel? Seems like you always see leather steering wheels (even in exact same cars) with that worn down look. The main thing I want to avoid is that shiny look they...

Getting new car with leather interior. Would you guys condition right away or hold off until down the road a ways, say like when they need cleaning? Any pros and cons for and/or against conditioning right away or down the road?

So here's one...what's the best way to preserve the smell of a brand new car while maintaining my standards? Many of the products we use to clean, maintain, and detail an interior have their own fragrance and those actions probably take away from what creates that new smell. Is it a matter of...

Sorry if this one has been asked or if I'm late to the game, but here goes anyways, LOL. So I haven't had to restock in a while and just noticed Lake Country now has microfiber pads. I've got a white Ford truck and a black Harley for which M105 and a white or black pad are my go-to products...

Anyone compared Mother's Leather Wash foaming cleaner vs the Leather Cleaner? And likewise the newer Leather Creme vs the Leather Conditioner? I've used the latter of the products (that have been out for a while) with great results, but haven't tried the newer stuff yet? Do they have a...

...probably THE worst glass cleaner I've ever used. What am I doing wrong? It's diluted to spec and I've even tried to water it down further to prevent the streaking. But it just does not perform for me. Temperature and other working conditions don't seem to matter. What luck are you guys...

So I got a Mustang seat for my bike, and lo and behold the seat is not leather. It's an amazing quality vinyl. I was completely fooled. So, question...how to care for it? Do anything in particular? Treat it like leather anyways and use leather cleaners and conditioners on it? Bike is...
