    Sealant over a Sealant?

    I put a coat of M21 on my black show car and although it looks pretty decent, not sure it has the pop of some of my favs, like BFWD and UPP. Can I go ahead and stick one of these sealants right on top of the M21, or do I need to strip it? HRJ

    If you could only use one brand...

    I got the idea for this thread from Detailing World. This is a hard question because we geeks like to constantly try new and different products. But if you could only use one line of products, what would it be?

    NASCAR Detailing products - who made them?

    I've been trying to use this stuff up for several years now....you know, one of those Christmas present things (and it wasn't a White Elephant one, either!) Basically been using on occasional daily driver and undercarriage type stuff. As I remember there were 3-4 things in a package. Maybe...

However, after becoming familiar with the DA and LC pads here on Autogeek, I'm finding myself wanting to convert over to...

    Best for short term pop?

    Forget about durability...what if you're like me and just need my show car to look good for the weekend? I guess this is a two part question, because at any outdoor show a QD is going to have to be used for dust...so what would the ultimate combo be, just to simply look good for 1-2 days...

    New guy from Ky

    Hello, Just joined the forum, although I've bought some things from the store here as well as used the forum for good ideas for awhile...so thought I should join in as there is only so much I can learn without being able to ask questions. Unlike many of you (it seems), I'm not a car...
