    Wheel Coatings?

    I'd like to coat my alloy wheels with something more than the Meguair's Hybrid Ceramic Wax I use on my daily driver, something that lasts a lot longer. I know practically nothing about these coatings that come out of a syringe. Are they different for wheels as opposed to vehicle paints? The...

    Cleaning Tires - How To?

    I am looking for a product that cleans the rubber, not a product that makes tires look good for a while. That comes after they have been cleaned properly. Just as you clean your paint prior to doing anything else, same thing but for rubber. Every time I get new tires and I wash them to get the...

    Porsche 993...at 20 years

    I dropped the engine and transmission to replace gaskets, seals and a few other external engine related items and while they are out, I might as sell give the engine and transmission bay as well as suspension components a thorough cleaning. Cleaning products used: Swish Facto AT30 Aircraft...

    All-In-One Wash 'n Wax Product

    I'm looking for a quality All-In-One Wash 'n Wax product for my daily driver. Since I have never bought into any of these types of products, I could use some recommendations. Its a daily driver that I do not want to spend as much time on in comparison to my 911. ;)

    Mike, is detailing rocket science?

    It appears so, because some on a car forum (why is it forums usually have one or two of those) tried to make it look as if detailing is rocket science or brain surgery and only a professional detailer can obtain results. I've looked after my vehicles in the distant past using consumer grade...

    LF: Tire Cleaning Product

    I am not looking for "coatings" and "gels" or any products that masks dirt. The general purpose soap that I use works well, but it does take a fair amount of scrubbing / agitation to get the "brown" off and to get the tire looking natural rubber clean. Any suggestions? The product does not...

    LF: Natural Soft Bristle Car Wash Brush

    Like anything old, the natural soft bristle car wash brush I bought back in the 70s is slowly losing its hair over time and I am looking for a top quality replacement. This is the short 10 inch handled type with an overall length of about 18 inches. Any suppliers of these out there?

    The Art Of Detailing Book

    I just got the paper version a couple of weeks ago. Not mentioned at the start of the book are what some of the icons represent. I take it the PC icon and red underlined text represents "a link" that in the paper version provides no further info; how can it? Can those of us who bought the...

    Metal Polishing & Buffing

    Polishing some chrome with a buffing wheel, the edge of the buffing wheel got black, just as it does when polishing / buffing aluminum. The black deposits on the buffing wheel tend to bond the fibers together and harden the buffing edge. What do the pros do? Is there a way to dress the contact...

    3 inch Flex DA Orbital

    I bet that got your attention. ;) Is there any news on Flex producing a 3 inch DA orbital polisher; one that is as good as my XC 3401 VRG. I'm not interested in the Griot's 3 inch polisher. I've read too many reviews on forums with half of them not very glowing. I'm also not interested in...
