New polishing pad with wear indicator GOOGLE : KaleCoAuto (no linking to other competitors sites please)

Took the car in recently for mechanical maintenance and the dealership scratched the back bumper (how, I dont know, Ive always told them not to wash it or anything). The scary thing is when the Mercedes body shop manager came out, I mentioned "bird bombs" bugs etc and what they can do to...

I just saw a news release that Ziano is coming out with a new high end carnauba. In the release Sal Ziano announced "We have the best car care products in every category and we believe our new Carnauba will, of course, be the best." Over the last several years the optically clear look of our...

As I've been taught by everyone, finish preparation is the biggest contributor to the final finished look. That being said I cant take credit for this C&B since the important work was done by Tom Horvath in the System One demos at Detailfest. The only thing I can say about the following...

I think a lot of rumors stories and half truths were put in their place today at Detailfest by Tom Horvath of System One. His demo showing the System One system and removal of the DEEP scratches on the Mercedes was fantastic to say the least. (It was my car that had deep scratches from glass...

Interesting discussion of Carnauba percentage numbers from the UK site.... Mysteries of the Carnauba Trade Part 1 - Fun With Volume - Detailing World

I've seen this term used (or maybe misused) many times on this forum and others. The rule, if applied as in economics, means that for each successive coat of wax there WILL be an increase in utility and/or looks. That incremental increase will become less with each coat of wax BUT there is...

I washed by themselves, did a separate rinse in vinegar and dried with blue balls on no heat. (and yes cleaned lint trap first) Towels came out looking great very fluffy.........Problem is they lint like mad. :mad: I don't think there is anything more frustrating than waxing the car and having...

I know Im not going to get much sympathy from people inland or up in the cold north but, here goes. I live on the intracoastal close to the ocean in SO FL and when the wind blows I get a film over the car that ,I assume, comes from the salt in the air from the ocean. What would be the least...

KILLR : IF you are going to close a thread AFTER someone bashes someones product... IMO you should delete the offending thread. MY response to closed thread on CG: I am fortunate to live close to AG and buy many prodiucts here. That includes souveran, liquid souveran, CM and many of the XMT...

I found a container of Pinnacle Paste Glaz in some of my waxing items. In waxes I have Paste Glaz, Pinnacle Souveran, Pinnnacle liquid, Petes 53, 50/50, meguiars #16 and meguiars yellow wax liquid. The Mercedes is Black Obsidian (Black w/metal flake). Which one would bring out the metal flake...

Ok just a question for everyone since my head is spinning from just the choices from PBMA.:confused: What is the difference between these waxes? I would assume Souveran is top of the line but what vares between Max and 180 and Sig Series?

Ive been using Souveran spray as a QD instead of just Crystal Mist. I have some additional Liquid Souveran (not spray) that Im thinking about mixing with crytsal mist as a detailer. The question is will that work?

Just had some fun on the "little rocket". CG One (D%^n water restrictions!!) Clay Menezerna 83Q (LC Green CCS) Menzerna 106 (LC Black CCS) Woflgang Sealant-wait 12 hours CG Mirror Sealant (for grins):D-wait 12 hours Pinnacle Souveran CG Petes 53 The Menezerna really seemed to darken the paint...

I'm still pretty much a rookie at this.Pics are from my cell and it was getting dark. Car has a layer of CG Wet Mirror Finish.....followed 24 hours later with Meguiars #16 paste....followed 24 hours later with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran. Just playing to see what it would look like.

I have used XMT 2 with an orange pad and still have some issues. I believe I need to move up on the agressive scale. Is the next step on the agreesive scale : a) use XMT 3 with an orange pad b) use a yellow pad with XMT 2 Thanks,

I have begun the quarterly detailing on the SLK. :awesome: With the H20 restrictions in South Florida I used DP Waterless wash and then clayed and rewashed to remove the residue. The car has the hard ceramiclear coat I used the"M company's" product designed for Mercedes (that I hope someday...

Has anyone used this kit....looks like a good idea to get to those difficult to remove areas. Used to remove wax etc from those tight hard to get to areas. (and no jokes:p)
