Picked up a qt. m210 on clearance at Autozone for $22. After reading up on m210 afterwards, it appears that it was formulated to finish down the paint after a compounding stage to remove any faint tick marks or hologramming left from the compounding. Would a m210/yellow Rupes pad combo be...

I have a few LC Hydro-tech pads, along with some other regular flat pads, that have begun to shred some of their material, but not much. My question is- how compromised (if at all) are foam pads, with regard to their usefulness and effectiveness, when this occurs? If they are indeed compromised...

Carried out my winter prep about a month ago. Put 6 different LSP's on various panels to compare with each other: collinite 915, Klasse Sealant Glaze, Duragloss 601/501 followed by 601/105, and DG 601/501 followed by 601/111, and BFWD. All panels were clayed and were prepped with paint cleanser...

I know you can make a waterless wash soultion with a rinseless product, but can you dilute a waterless product like Pinnacle WW into a bucket and perform a rinseless wash like you would with ONR? Ultima WW is named just that - a waterless wash- while overwhelmingly used, and marketed, as a...

From the tests I have been conducting, I now believe in the incredible benefits of layering liquid LSP's; increased durability and better looks, without a doubt. I'm now trying to narrow my product choices down to those that cure in the shortest period of time, thus allowing me to put down...

Bring... These... Back.... Please!!!! $95? C'mon!

By virtue of Opti Clean's inherent "cleaners"(per AG's product description), would it then not be the better option over UWW+ as a rinseless presoak? UWW+ makes no mention of any cleaners in its product description as much as it states that it simply "cleans". To me, in other words, UWW+ relies...

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone & their families! Now....A deer ran into the side of my car last weekend and I am now in the process of finding a QUALITY shop using QUALITY materials to repaint the fender where the deer hit. A buddy of mine said to avoid shops using certain paint...

I've been searching but there doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion out there about these towels: CarPro Suede Microfiber Cloths, suede microfibre cloths, microfiber towels, cquartz microfiber They seem to be a shorter nap suede-type towel often used in the application of CQuartz. Does anyone...

Just curious. I will be completely stripping panels to test all the LSP's i've accumulated. Instead of having to buy a new bottle of paint cleaner (P21S, Klasse AIO) for the stripping, I thought maybe I could use Optimum Finish Polish on a pad with no cut i.e. Hydro Tech Crimson. Are the...

I'm in the process of correcting my 2000 Bmw 5 series' paint. I compounded the hood twice in my quest for perfection. First time was HydroTech Cyan/m105. 2nd time was Meguiars MF/m105. Both times, a test spot showed promise but in different light & @ a different angle (grocery store parking...

Hi everyone: Looking for some input about QD’s. What I would like is a QD that adds NO PROTECTION, but simply adds some shine and gloss after a wash and in between coats of whatever LSP I have laid down. I will not be using the QD to clean off road grime or anything like that in b/w washes. I’m...

Just finished experimenting with BF APC @ 4:1 on the bimmer's leather seats- no good. My towel was staining black from all the pigment coming off after only light agitation.....Ok..... I had a 4 oz. sample of BF Interior Cleaner, so I gave that a try; same issue. And all this w/a towel...

I have a bottle of Klasse AIO (1/2 full) that has been sitting in the garage for the past 2 years. The problem is I lost the cap, and so these two years have seen the AIO "cap-less". Question is, will the AIO still be good to use? Has the product lost its integrity b/c of there being no cap, or...

I came across this article browsing yesterday's posts: Rotary Compounding – Is It Dead? | Todd Cooperider Online Someone had embedded it in their reply to the OP of a recent thread (sorry, can't seem to locate the thread to give the embedder any credit) and I, for some reason, found it to be...

Hello all. I am somewhat of a newcomer so please bear with me. First things first: it’s good to make your acquaintance. Heard this was the place to come for all things detailing so I wanted to reach out. Just picked up a '00 BMW 540i. Paint is in above average condition, but not stellar. It...
