    DP Tire Cleaner & Coating

    I've tried many different tire dressings & cleaners and frankly they all work well but simply don't last. After one or two rains, they dressing is gone and the tires look neglected. And since cleaning and dressing tires is not high on my fun to do list, I've tried in vain to find a coating...

    Removing Stickers From Sun Visors

    So I REALLY hate these things but have been afraid to attempt removal for fear of damaging the material-not positive if mine are vinyl or leather but I'm assuming vinyl. In one of the other forums there is an on-going thread about exactly that but I wanted to run these methods by our members to...

    PH Balanced Shampoo ??

    Is there a significant advantage to using a PH balanced shampoo? I've been moving away shampoo products that add gloss or whatever since I add my own gloss with waxes or sealants whenever necessary. I know I want my car shampoo to clean and have lubricity to help prevent scratching but I would...

    Feeling the love for BFCS

    Lots of LSPs come and go but honestly, for ease of use and looks it's very difficult to beat Blackfire Crystal Seal. Did a quick 2BW, nanoskined the paint and coated 2x for BFCS. IMHO truly one of those WOW Products that everyone should have in their supply cabinet. Shout out to Nick for...

    Synergy - can it deliver?

    I was fortunate to have a new 911S as my test mule for evaluating the new Synergy from Autogeek. This was a new car prep so keep in mind the paint was in excellent condition since the owner refused to let the dealer touch the car and literally just received delivery. Procedure 2BW with CG...

    Streaking

    Have you notice any streaking after you wipe your car down with either waterless wash or detail spray? Doesn't seem to matter which product I'm using either since I've tried Pinnacle WW, Ultima Detail Spray Plus, and Sonax Detail Spray. Granted I'm being OCD about this but when you take an...

    What I learned about applying a thin coat of wax

    Wanted to report back after my initial experience with the AF Spirit. First off, my paint was very clean but would not pass the plastic bag test. I nanoskined the entire car about two weeks prior so I didn't really want to do all that again but here in south Florida, 30 minutes after you clay...

    To Coat Or Not Coat - That's The Question

    I've been thinking of experimenting with one of the newer coatings but honestly I don't think it's the right type of product for me-so I need some guidance before making a decision. I two bucket wash weekly and seem to be apply a new LSP at least every other week and probably polish or paint...

    Pinnacle Liquid Sovereign vs #845

    Just a quick informal review of two quality LSPs - Pinnacle Liquid Sovereign (PLS) vs Collinite #845 Let me begin by saying I own and love both LSPs but a friend came over this weekend and wanted to do a carnauba test. We literally split the car down the middle and did half with #845 and the...

    Sovereign Liquid Spray Wax vs XMT 360 Spray Wax

    Sovereign Liquid Spray Wax vs XMT 360 Spray Wax. The car was just cleaned but just to make sure, I waterlessed washed the trunk deck with original formula ONR mixed 12 oz/gallon. (per Dr. G.) I like ONR for this purpose since it doesn't have anything added to boost its performance. It...
