I am traveling from India & I fly out Monday night. I forgot to order DG501 and now it's snowing in NY. Can I buy it at a store somewhere in Brooklyn/Times Square? I don't want to pay additional shipping for just one item.

I am very happy with CG Workhorse towels for wax, sealant, polish removal as they are short pile. Got a few Shaggy Fur Ball towels today for Waterless Washes/QD and tried it with UWW today. The towel got completely drenched during the first pass and no good for WW, Rinse less Wash or drying...

I have asked this before and the answer I get is that UC is for DA, M105 for Rotary & Wool pads, M101 for Rotary & Foam pads. Let's say I hate M105 and M101 is not available in my Country. What is wrong with Ultimate Compound on a Rotary & foam pads really? It's not like I don't have access to...

I just used DG105/601 today after a long time and realized why I used to love it so much. So easy to work with after playing with Sonax Polymer Netshield for months. Plus DG looks a stunner. Unfortunately, my bottle is about to finish so thinking of trying something else. I know Blackfire Wet...

Is it possible that sealants release dirt better than waxes, in most cases? If you think about it, an oily wax will hold on to dirt whether it is a pure wax or a hybrid. Sealants could be better at releasing dirt and not allowing it to get etched/embedded? A wax for me would be Dodo Juice Blue...

I don't like the idea of chemically stripping the paint unless I am using a coating. Can Meguair's Final Inspection be used instead after machine polishing to check "True Correction" as a lot of compounds/polishes/pre-wax cleansers have a tendency to temporarily fill? Also, do you see anything...

I have very specific requirements for a QD. I need it to clean dirty/soiled fingerprints on the boot of the car EVERYDAY as the car undergoes a security check at work. This means the QD should be able to clean well, very well. Secondly, I want it to not add any gloss/wax/sealant as far as...

Is there anything to be gained by using Optimum car Wax once a month over a layer of a durable wax like C845? I am thinking the UV filters will help and it will revive the look of the existing LSP. However, I strongly believe (Now) that products can not be layered so will OCW remove or degrade...

Been reading up here a lot. There seems to be no consensus as some people seems to think the more layers of waxes/sealants you have, the better. While others feel products can't or shouldn't be layered. I was thinking of doing a complete correction on my car and then sealing it with...

Getting tired of how ONR alters the look and behavior of my waxes so picked up a bottle of CG HFE. Hoping it doesn't have any polymers but can't find the MSDS on Google at all. Anybody? Damn those water restrictions.

While I am not a fan of sealants, I don't mind a hybrid wax though. I am more of a Carnuba wax person and while I appreciate the durability of Collinites, I prefer waxes from Dodo Juice and Victoria Wax. Will any of the waxes from Meguiar's offer a good Carnuba look? Meg's generally makes good...

I work with a rotary and foam pads, stay away from wool being a weekend warrior. I have tried M105 a few times, didn't like it one bit and it could be that it is designed to be used with wool pads. I made the switch to DAT compounds from Scholl and Menzerna and they have been working well for...

After going through a long phase of sealants and durable waxes, I am now enjoying show waxes at the moment (Bouncer's Capture the Rapture, Victoria's Red Concours Wax etc.). However, most people who are veterans with show waxes here and other forums recommend to use their respective QD after...

Any thoughts on this wax as I am considering buying it. Durability is not an issue as I will add a coat of a durable sealant underneath. It is rated very highly on some forums for it's unique wet look. Any thoughts?

Does it use a physical bond like waxes do or a chemical bond like Opti Seal where the polymers cross link with the paint? I guess it will depend on whether it is a polymer based sealant or acrylic. I love DG 105 but getting very interested in sealants that can cross link and become part of the...

I am currently using Sonax Polymer Netshield and Gtechniq C2V3. Both have good water behavior and self clean to a great extent. I keep hearing about Collinites being legendary in durability. What does that really mean, do they self clean at all or is it just that they continue to bead for a long...

I don't have any experience with non-diminishing AIOs. I use Scholl Concepts S20 or Sonax Perfect Finish as a one step and they finish fantastic, probably because those are DAT polishes. I am considering Poli Seal as a base for Opti Seal but not sure if Poli Seal will add enough gloss to the...

I don't get it why products like Opti Seal, UPGP, Black Fire Crystal Seal and Zaino CS are not more popular amongst detailers. They are easy to use and we can argue that they cause less damage to the paint considering you remove once step out of the process (Buffing). They look good and some...

I was getting along fine with most CG a Hex Logic pads and my SMAT polishes from Optimum till I made the switch to DAT polishes by Scholl Concepts, Sonax and Menzerna. A few professional detailers I know recommended against Hex saying they retain product and can throw it back during finishing...

I need a good paint cleaner that I can use with my rotary every 3 months to refresh the paint and reapply the wax/sealant. The paint has been compounded and polished so the paint cleaner doesn't need to have any abrasives or it could be lightly abrasive to correct the minor wash marring and...
