Random idea of the night: Ever put Optimum No Rinse in your windshield washer fluid? I've wanted to come up with something better than the methanol stuff (necessary in winter, any alternatives for freeze protection?) when running around in the warmer seasons. I'm thinking about combining...

It's been three weeks post a complete 105/205 compound/polishing, followed by two coats of Klasse sealant glaze and once coat of Pinnacle Sov Liquid Wax. My daily driver sits in my gravel driveway and takes constant exposure. I planned on keeping the finish very well protected so it would not...

Wondering if anybody has experience with this product? The company says it is paint safe and great on cars (originally formulated for gel coats). It got high praise in this marine sealant/wax comparison (www.imarsales.com/pdf/PS0910_reprint_Waxes_web092110.pdf) for shine and >1 year...

There seems to be... no, there IS a general lack of informative product reviews on product pages throughout AG. Many products that have been on AG for >year have 0 reviews. Informative product reviews on the product pages are an important factor in the sale of products to first-time users...

Stopped by autozone this week to pick up a can of A/C refrigerant and noticed ALL (usually it's just some select items) of the eagle 1 products were 2/7$. Did not matter if they were 9.99 or 3.99. I heard the nano car wash was pretty good from a detailing friend so I tried a half gallon and...

LSP Comparison: Before cleaning up a 2009 Honda minivan I decided to test a few products on the hood. These are not similar products, which makes this review a little unusual but hopefully interesting. This car is a daily driver and will be great for testing durability. Every panel except...

Those with cars with frameless doors: what are the best trim products for use on foam rubber seals? I always end up with SQUEAKY frameless windows a couple weeks after washing/detailing. I've tired everything in my arsenal but UTTG which I refuse to use on delicate rubber because it has a...

I have a liter of Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze arriving tomorrow with 26lbs of other stuff from AG (hurray for free shipping!) and want to know what (and how) forum members are diluting this stuff for other modes of application? So googling and forum searching leaves me to believe that this...

Having spent an hour reading over every post with brush or boars hair in the title, I just can't believe that nobody is making a super-soft synthetic brush of some kind. Anybody professionally use a poly brush in place of a boar/hog hair for light washing of painted surfaces? Perhaps you use a...

So this question has been asked before, but didn't really get any much attention. I'm interested to hear your opinions on whether you look for solvent or water-based exterior or interior products, or if this means nothing to your product decisions. ? There are lots of instances in product...

I want to be able to offer a sealant + wax package for mobile detailing, but most of my sealants need 4-8+ hours before applying wax to ensure the solvent wax carrier doesn't strip the sealant. What are the best, reasonably-priced sealants that can be applied and top coated in hurry for...

What are the best 1-step rust converter products available for use when you don't care enough about the project to fix the rust? In other words, what can you spray or paint onto surface rust (not rust-through or severe pitting/flaking) that will stop/slow the rust for more than a few weeks or...

I'm looking for any independent experiments, articles, or data that actually looks at the ability of waxes or sealants to protect paint from UV as so many products claim. Anybody come across anything with some objectivity? I really would like to put these claims to the test because UV...

Have any pro's ever had a serious request from a customer to leave their car with a sheeting finish as opposed to a beading finish? I ask this because several forum members have mentioned lately how much they hate water spots and I'm curious what the best solutions are for a final finish that...

Anybody know of a U or D shaped handle I can purchase for my porter cable RO? I can't believe I have not been able to find one on the internet! Somebody should start making them IMO. Anybody with another type of random orbital try to retrofit a different handle on to a pc7424? Thanks much...

I ask this as a followup to CeeDog's awesome Ultima comparison/mythbuster: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/31365-ultima-sealants-mythbuster-5.html The UTTG has awesome gloss and durability on painted surfaces as I have found using it on painted wheels and polished...

Fellow (and future) users of Ultima series products: After working with Premium Finish Care's Ultima PGP sealant for a few weeks, I decided to try to get some answers to my questions about ideal application procedures not entirely addressed in the UPGP faq. I am an enthusiast with no...
