Hey all, I have some turtle wax rinseless and I've noticed the blue color goes away after a week or so in my spray bottle. I'm assuming the dye is just weak or something but wanted to check with you experts and see if this also could mean the "lubricity" is wearing off as well? Just want to...

I've noticed on the new to me SUV I purchased that there are some water spot etchings. Reading through Mike's posts on the types of spots I've identified them as Type II that need to be compounded. So today I washed, surface prepped, and then re-washed and decided to try a small 2'X2' area on...

So I picked up an Eagle One surface prep mitt at Advance Auto a few weeks back to try out. Well I finally got the chance this morning. It has been so hot and sunny I haven't wanted to do it, but today there was a slight chill in the air and it was overcast, perfect to do it. I washed the car...

Man I should have just stayed in bed :bash: First I had an issue with a business thing that just sucked. Then I went to visit a family member and that didn't go well (just some family stuff). So after that I walk out and notice a dent (ding) in my car, ugh. To make matters worse I feel like I...

Ok, so I just got this product. I've been unplugged from the Matrix a while (sometimes I wish I hadn't been) and am always trying to find the perfect system to take care of certain cars. I enjoy washing traditional 2 bucket method but found on my garage queen I just wasn't comfortable...

Picked up a new toy and inside and out is pristine but the tail pipes have been neglected and now seem destroyed with corrosion or something. I tried metal polish but it did nothing, I'm not sure if a coating has been removed or what is going on with them. I'm thinking of just sanding them and...

Sorry had to blow off some frustration :angry: Had to have a chip fixed in my windshield this morning for insurance purposes, used the company that replaced the windshield on my wife's car twice and they did good work at their shop. I tried to stay easy going b/c people aren't freaks like us...

Can't find it in any of my local stores or even at (gasp) Walmart lol. I hate when I find a great product and then it goes away. I'm down to my last bottle so thought I'd pick some up and can't find it. Looked on their website and it is not listed as a current product, and then saw this crazy...

I know this seems like an odd question but it hit me today when trying to clean a very expensive Lexan (I think) custom window package on a special car I had them built for. When say using Plexus or Original Bike Spirits (Formerly Honda Polish) or something similar on them, the directions...

I was on YouTube and came across this video. This seems not very safe to me but Meguiars has a good name so thought I'd post and ask. Seems like way to much dust to just spray and wipe, especially the way their tech was wiping it (in circles without going to a clean side). Anyway made me...

It seems like whenever I use a foam applicator for applying wax, in this case Pinnacle Souveran paste wax, that I don't get very far without the pad feeling "dry" or like there isn't any product on it. Now I know you are suppose to apply very thin, so maybe this is just the way it is, but it...

Was in Meijer today and saw this on sale for 10 bucks which seemed like a great price for 24 Viking microfibers, but before I open them and wash them I was wondering if these are good for dirtier jobs like engine bay, behind the wheels, fender wells, glass, interior, etc.? I'm looking for a...

Wow...the only word that comes to mind for this product. I bought the 3 oz size and if I had to nitpick, the ONLY issue I can kinda see with this wax is that the price seems a tad high, and even though the tiny little jar in my hand makes me happy when I'm pretending to be a giant, it makes me...

I have seen of few of you pros post pics with those cool stripes in the carpet but I have never done it. I was watching a video, I think AMMO NYC on YouTube and he said to use a brush so today I thought I'd try. I am finishing a long detail process on the car and finally got around to the...

So I was thinking about cleaning my engine and all the parts under there but was wondering what to use. For the most part it is very clean and I certainly do not ever want to spray it with a hose as some folks do (too chicken :D) Everything I find on cleaning engine areas is spraying APCs or...

I've recently started using spray wax , Griot's Spray Wax to be precise and really like how easy it is to use. I know these waxes are "boosters" but I can not find exactly how long they should be "boosting" wax. I know this is dependent on several factors like daily drivers vs. garage queens...

Finally got done compounding and polishing the car and now I'm on to waxing after a wash and IPA wipedown. I notice sometimes I get the 100% pure carnauba on a slightly too thick and have found using a spritz of Griots Speed Shine on my towel really makes it easy to remove. Question is does...

Hey guys, I really want to try both of these and I like the fact the Griots is CLEAR when it says "safe for all wheels including uncoated aluminum". I know it is PH neutral which is a good thing. But I also want to try the DUB cleaner and it says "safe for all wheels" but does not give the PH...

I started a full compound regiment tonight on my car. I'm using Megs UC followed by UP. The car is in awesome shape just see a few tiny swirls/scratches I'm hoping to knock down a bit. Anyway it seems like it is going to take me forever with the PC7424XP. I remember doing this years ago now...

Just curious, say a pure carnauba wax that you are suppose to let haze, well say you you didn't. Say you just wiped in on and then wiped it off, would it do anything or do you have to let it haze to see any benefit, and why? I searched but couldn't find the answer, I'm just curious is all. I...
