Has anyone used Mothers R3 Racing Rubber Remover and how did they like it? I autocross my car quite frequently now, so I'm seeing more and more rubber cone scuffs. Sometime last year I slaughtered a whole row of them and had some really bad ones that covered a large area on the side of the...

My wife and I just picked up a Light White Mini Cooper Countryman and I was wondering what wax everyone uses for white paint? I currently have Souveran, Natty's Blue, and XMT180 because our other two Mini's are black and all the car's I've detailed are darker in color. I wanted to get a wax...

Does polish have a shelf life after which it is no longer as effective as it used to be? I was detailing my car this afternoon and after using a swirl remover / finishing polish combo that I have used before with great results the hood looked horrible! Really bad micro marring all over and no...

I posted my garage up here a few years ago after I finished painting the red and checkered flag wall and did a little bit of organizing with gladiator products. It worked in the beginning, but as I began to add tool boxes, work benches and the like, it was no longer working and there was no...

I'm detailing a Navigator for a guy I work with tomorrow tomorrow. He bought my old BMW from us last week and I detailed it for him and he was so floored I ended up getting this job from him. My planned work is SSR 2.5 on CCS Orange followed by SSR 1 on white and, until five minutes ago, EX-P...

I've been using my Cobra Micro fiber mitts to wash cars for a few years now and we're under the belief that they are starting to marr the paint. I say this becuase I XMT 360'd the car earlier this month and it was swirl free and they're coming back. I noticed this happening in the summer, but...

When I built my house the builder told me it would cost $1100 to finish the garage. That means painting it and putting trim around the bottom. I told them that they could shove it because there was no way I was paying that much to have them paint it a color that I would just paint over nor have...

I'm about to go through my second indiana winter, and this time I'm going to be prepared. Last year I think I put a coat of Souveran on the cars and called it good, and was in for a nasty surprise. I tried valiantly to keep them clean and protected, but it was just too cold. Not this year...

I'll be using XMT360 for the first time on my Mini tomorrow to get ready for a car show. Is it worth claying before hand? I know with some polishes I've used clay made everything easier to use. The last time I clayed my car was end of april I think. The car kept pretty tidy for the most part...
