    PFAS and detailing products?

    Hello everyone. I'm curious if anyone here has investigated this topic and what they might have learned. I'm wondering if it's safe to assume that many of the synthetic hydrophobic products I use may include PFAS and what it means to have my hands in them and likely be inhaling/ingesting some of...

    Substitute for Meguiars NXT car wash?

    Collonite 480 what was going on?

    I'm a cyclist and I've heard it said that all cyclists are amateur metallurgists. For some reason, I'm guessing that all car detailers are amateur chemists ;-) — so here's my question… I'm new at all of this and used Collinite products for the first time this weekend on silver 2013 Toyota...
