    Need advice - film on windshield

    Ok, so about a month ago, while driving on I-20, an 18-wheeler threw a rock and I ended up getting a new windshield. :( The new windshield seems to have some sort of oily(?) film on the outside that I can't seem to get rid off. It's only noticible when it's raining and I turn on the wipers...

    REVIEWS - Wolfgang 3.0 Polishes + a few others

    Well, I was hoping to do this as part of a show-n-shine complete with before, during, and after pics but things didn't work out the way I hoped... My sister has been after me to detail her Sienna for some time now, it's the only vehicle left in the family that I haven't touched. Well, it's...

    When do YOU say that protection is gone?

    Given some of the broad ranges you see mentioned regarding many sealants and waxes durability, some say Souveran lasts a week or two, some say a couple of months, I was wondering what each of us considers to be the end of life point for a wax or sealant. When the beading changes from tight to...

    Porsche CC hardness

    How hard is the CC on Porsche cars? I'm supposed to detail one soon and was curious as to what I should expect. Paint is in pretty good condition with some minor swirls, I'll be using a PC (still waiting on the Flex to get in) and Menz polishes.

    Detailing Products and Cost - just some ramblings...

    I'm posting this in "Off Topic" since it's really just bored ramblings. Anyway, I got to thinking about the price of different products along with the numerous posts I've seen regarding paint prep vs. LSPs in determining the final "look" ;) or "appearance" of a vehicle and it just seemed odd...

    What's your favorite beer?

    What's everyone's favorite beer? Personally, I like Sweetwater IPA, I think it's a local Atlanta brand (of course it helps that it has almost twice the alcohol content of other beers).

    What's the best wash tool to use with ONR?

    Just like the title says, what's your favorite wash tool (towel, sheepskin mitt, mf, foam mitt, etc.) to use with a rinseless wash? On the flip side, are there any wash tools that you've found to be a definate no-no when using ONR?

    How important is a sealant UNDER wax to looks?

    Just curious, how much difference can you tell in the looks of a vehicle based on which sealant you used when topping with a wax? Example: Would you be able to tell the difference in a car sealed with WG DGPS and topped with Souveran vs. the same car sealed with KSG and topped with Souveran?

    Question about hand polishing

    Ok, I'm not fit enough or crazy enough to try and really polish a full vehicle by hand, but I've seen several posts where people mention polishing areas that are to small to get to with a machine by hand. Anyway, my question is, do you use the same polish you used with the machine or do you...

    Why the Flex?

    Just curious, why so much hype about the Flex? I understand what it does and that it fills the gap between PC/UDM and a rotary, but, I don't think this is a new idea is it? Why so much hype about the Flex compared to the Makita BO6040, which offers a choice between using the forced rotation...

    Given the cooler tempatures, I'm interested in trying one of the rinseless washes but wondered about the following, do you use these products on wheels and wheel wells? How do you go about cleaning these areas without a hose?

    How about some mini-reviews?

    I love reading everyone's experiences with all the different products... So, how about everyone take a minute to do a quick review of 3 products... They should be: 1. Your current favorite product - the product you'd hate to do your next detail without. 2. The product you tried for the...

    Spray Souveran vs. Aqua Wax

    I've been using spray souveran lately (to top paste souveran) on my black metalic truck and I love it. I know a lot of people are very fond of AW and was wondering if anyone had tried both and what their opinion was regarding how the two comparted. Obviously, AW is cheaper, but ignoring price...
