    Has to be the FK 1016!

    Rainy morning here in Rochester. Drove about 8 miles to work in the pouring rain and going through deep puddles with rain splashing up to the side windows. Car was washed 3 days ago so it was still relatively clean. Thought for sure there would be dirt, rain and water spots stuck to every...

    Quick IronX Question

    Is it necessary to rub in IronX or will it be okay to just spray on and let dwell for a couple minutes?

    New Car!

    Hello Everyone! Been a long time since I've been active on here. (Still kept up on reading though) Haven't had much free time lately between work and finishing up grad school. But I've sold my jetta and now have a 2013 CR-V (user name change coming) I know Honda's paint tend to be very soft...

    Opti-Coat Question

    Given that Opti-Coat is harder than factory clear coats for the most part, how is the polishing ability by hand? I would suspect it to be difficult to achieve decent results by hand if it's supposed to be more durable than clear. (I know it also depends on the hardness of the factory clear)...

    carfax

    Anyone ever google their VIN number to either see what their old car was up to or what their current car's results are? Well I searched the VIN for my Jetta and the dealer I purchased it from is offering the report for free? I can see the full report and it's saying it was offered for sale...

    Helpful tip

    I'm sure many have realized this but for those who haven't had this happen to them... Be cautious of leaving all weather floor mats on grass on extremely hot days or this will happen.... luckily it was my own lawn but still! never even thought to think how hot the grass would get under black...

    Christmas Wash?

    You know you do it.... Considering snow is not in the forecast for upstate new york this christmas- since I can remember... figured it would be a good time to do an ONR wash. Lousy picture off the iPhone because my camera battery decided to die... Lets see some others!

    Which BOGO?

    I can't decide between the Supreme Guzzler or the Supreme 530. I know the Guzzler is super absorbent... I have the normal WW Guzzler now but I am wondering if the 530 would be more safe on my super soft black paint. Would the 530 absorb water as well or just spread it around? I want the best...

    Forum Favorite

    I can see why ONR is the forum favorite!!! Just used it for the first time today on a rinseless wash and it's incredible! Its so easy to use, and leaves absolutely no residue! I don't even need to QD after like I typically do after a regular wash! I can't wait until Opti-Coat is applied! It...

    Who else has done this...

    So I just turned my Christmas fund budget into my detailing budget to fully correct my car and apply opti-coat :props: I knew I could turn here to make myself feel like there's nothing wrong with that! What other crazy things have people done to get their fix?

    Need advice

    I cant decide between CQuartz and Opti-Coat. I thought I decided on CQuartz but now I don't know. I know these haven't been tested extremely long term but maybe you guys know more about the products and can make an educated guess on what would be better for my purpose. Main objectives: 1)...

    With so many choices...

    I decided I am going to purchase CQuartz. Does it make much difference on the longevity or appearance of the product if I do not use CarPro Iron X Soap Gel or Reload, but another quality wash like dodo or spray sealant like blackfire? Just curious. Feed back please

    Removing scratches from shattering glass

    So tonight as I was closing the garage door after pulling my freshly washed car in after a weekend of traveling, the top panel of the door decides to crack and the window in that panel shatters all over my car. I didn't get to take great pictures but snapped some quick ones with my iphone. The...

    Thought this was pretty incredible!

    Parked under a tree last night (I guess I didnt learn my lesson the first time...) but it gave me an excuse to wash the car at 650 am without seeming too OCD (beat the heat at least!) anyway, when I was rinsing I noticed how well the water beaded! Thought it was pretty great! Last time I took...

    Opti-Coat

    I have heard such great things about this product but I just have to know... has anyone had it applied over a long period of time? Does it really last forever like it says without needing to wax? How does that work? There is a place by me called Ziebart that offers a product called "diamond...

    Exhaust Polish

    What would you suggest to clean the exhaust tips on a Jetta? Not quite sure what the finish is. I have Menzerma Polishing Cream in my cart. Would DP Cleanse- All Exterior Cleaner work? What would the best be for just a WOWO product?
