Just a quick question...does anyone know if 476s (paste-auto) is close in comparison to 885 (paste fleetwax-marine)? There is a West Marine nearby that sells it.

I've had my Mazda6 for awhile now and always thought I had clearcoated wheels...turns out they are alloy. Now I use DP Wheel Gel Cleaner on them and I assume it's safe. However, I have noticed a milky appearance around the edge of the rims. The wheel cleaner does not remove it. Any ideas on what...

Hey all...I use ExP as my go-to sealant. However, I'm looking for a spray sealant to maintain the finish when I don't have the time to seal. Does anyone have any suggestions?

So I'm getting ready to wash my car, and I don't feel like sealing it today. It's already got a coat of ExP, and I was just wondering if I can wax it instead? Or should I strip everything down first?

Can someone tell me if it is okay to use a Quick Detailer to reomve water spots before I apply a sealant (specifically ExP)...I just washed the car.

I just picked up some Chenille wash mitts from Ocean State Job Lot (similar to big lots). Do you think these would be safe to use on the lower/rocker panels of the car and inside the wheel wells?

Hey Guys...quick question I applied some ExP yesterday and have let it cure. I'm going to re-apply some in the next 24-48 hrs and was wondering if I should wash my car or just QD it before I apply the ExP. The car was just washed yesterday and there is some dust on it(i work across from a...

I know that after applying PB's ExP you have to wait about 12 hrs for it to fully cure before another layer/wax can be applied. Does it matter if I drive the car while it cures, or is that not a good idea?

I have read many methods of removing old wax from cars including isopropyl alcohol/water, paint cleaner polish, etc. I already have used VMG and a carnuba on my car, but I want to switch to a sealant (ExP) under a carnuba (PB Natty's Blue) instead of a glaze. If I use something like Klasse, is...

Has anyone tried Folex carpet cleaner? I have heard it works pretty well. Also, when something calls for a 10:1 dilution ratio (say for example folex and water), does that mean 10 parts h2o or 10 parts folex? - Thanx

Hey all...couple of quick questions: 1. I did a MF wash w/ warm water and it seems some of the dye ran onto another towel in the wash...not a big deal right? 2. One of my good Cobra Polishing MF's got snagged on an emblem and there is slight unraveling...should I stop using it? 3. Where is a...

Hey eveyone I posted some pics a few days ago, but they weren't all that great. The paint is in relatively good shape. It's only 2 yrs old. That being said, if I look at it at night under one of those lights in the target parking lot, there's alot of micro scratches and swirls. However, its a...

Finished this detail on Sunday. I'm just a regular guy who enjoys taking car of his car. I spent all day on this car to get it nice and clean. Here's a step by step process of what I did: Exterior: Washed entire car using NXT from Meg's Clayed using clay magic Polished using VMG Waxed using...

I've never clayed before, but I don't have access to a garage. I bought some Clay magic and plan on using that. Anyone know if it can be used in the sun? Also, should I clay after i wash or during?

Ok so I got a bunch of new stuff from AG this week and I plan on detailing the car. My plan is as follows: 1) Wash using megs nxt 2) Clay 3) Polish 4) Wax Here's what I have: AIO, VMG, ExP, and S100. I have read about success/failure w/ the VMG/ExP combo. I really want to try the combo...

My car is relatively new (2004 Mazda6), but due to some neglect on my part while I was at college my car took a beating. I plan on dedicating a full weekend to washing, claying, polishing, and waxing. However, while examining my paint recently I have discovered minor scratches (maybe cobweb,not...

Any ideas on what combo might give the best protection and Durability. New England Winters can be harsh and I don't always have the time to wax. Also, any good sealant and/or wax combinations?

Just wondering if anyone has tried VMG and ExP with any success. I posted a thread earlier about what steps I should take to protect my car. However, I recieved conflicting views about whether or not the two are compatible w/ each other.
