Hello, we just took possession of our long awaited, custom ordered cabriolet. We've had the car a couple weeks and I've yet to touch the panels regarding hand washing. It's been several vehicles ago since I've wanted to be very particular on the upkeep of the paint and washing routine. In...

I'm close to finishing my bottle of Collinite 840 which is what I've mostly used on removing my water spots on the gel coat of our 2015 boat. It's done a pretty decent job, although it does take a good amount of elbow grease when doing it by hand. I'm curious if anyone has used any other...

Hello, which of the products in my picture would you use to get the best results for cleaning and protection on my boat? This is a new boat with no oxidation problems. Collinite 840 cleaner followed by the 476s wax or the DuraGloss 501? Thank you

We've kept our boat in storage this Summer and we brought it back this weekend, unfortunately I'm unable to remove my water spots with the products pictured. The good thing about leaving the boat in storage at the lake (two states away) is that I don't have to trailer it back and forth each...

I was curious what a good microfiber cloth would be used for the application of liquid waxes/cleaners would be? I've got a bunch of the super plush purple Cobras and they are absolutely wonderful for final drying after the Water Sprite and for knocking off the haze from my waxes. I'd like to...

I'm not having any luck removing the unfelt scratches in my gel coat. I'm using (aggressively) the 7424XP, an orange pad and Meguiar's 105 compound. Does anyone else have a suggestion on what to try next? This is a 2012 boat and I've noticed these scratches since day 1. What is the...

Hello again! I'm ready to do my mid summer CLEANING of my single stage white 2012 Tundra and had a question regarding paint cleaner/prep prior to waxing with Collinite's 476S. I believe I have a couple options according to some of the forum topics and manufacturer instructions on paint...

Hello, which would be the better choice of a boars hair brush for boat covers, bimini tops, front visors, side curtains, etc.? These are sunbrella, marine fabrics. Thank you

Hey guys, I have a new vehicle and would like to know what my best protection products are and how you would go about caring for a non-garage kept vehicle. This will not be a daily driver, but will be exposed to the great Midwest weather. I'd like to know what products you would use and what...

Hello, I'm a new user of my DA 7424xp machine and while out on the water this weekend I noticed a good amount of swirls. I'm pretty certain this isn't in the gel coat and it's just a matter of application/user error of my PC 7424xp. What I used was the Meguires #20 polymer sealant and a white...

Anyone have a good/cheaper product to replace the Diamondite Restorer? This is one FANTASTIC product and I use it frequently - too frequently. It gets in the pocket book pretty fast and I was curious what some good replacements are that you all use instead?? Thanks!!

Hello, I'm ready to make my first DA purchase for my boat and would like to know what you would start with? I would like to have an all-in-one unit, but it just seem with all that I've read, that two units may be the way to go. One smaller machine for the detailing of the corners, tight areas...

One of the bullet points on the front of the UTTG bottle says it will last for months, not days or weeks. I'd like to use the UTTG on the boat trailer wheels now that it's up for the winter, but would I be doing myself a disservice by wasting product if it only lasts for months? Does...

Any reason for water to bead up while applying Meguiar's #20 sealant on gel coat? This is a brand new pad and there is little to no humidity to speak of? Can't determine what would cause this??

Got a question and need a recommendation from you FLEX pros. I'm an extreme novice to using a buffer/polisher but now have more of a few good reasons to go this direction. This will certainly not be used in a professional environment, but I've been approached multiple times by people that see...

I've read numerous posts on tire/wheel cleaning and would like to know what you tire/wheel gurus would you use on these wheels to preserve and protect? I've attempted a couple different angles to help you identify the metal type of wheel that these are, so that I can get the right product for...

Boat enthusiast here - I've joined AG in hopes to educate myself in keeping this boat in the condition it's in for years to come. There are a myriad of items regarding tools and products for autos, hopefully I'll find some good reliable information here pertaining to preserving the finish on...
