    IK Multi Pro 2

    I recently bought one of these for doing waterless washes but I was also thinking it would be pretty useful for chemicals like Iron X or a wheel cleaner. I had a few questions though: 1. For those that use a sprayer like this with one of those chemicals, do you find you use more or less product...

    Microfiber pads - your experience?

    I'm in the market for a couple new pads. I've always used Lake Country flat foam pads but I've read a lot of good things about Uro Fiber pads. I haven't been able to find an exact answer, but to those who have used both, how would you compare a Uro Fiber to say a Lake Country orange or yellow...

    Review: CarPro Essence + DP SIO2 Paste Wax

    Finally took my car out of storage and had a chance to use both these products. I've had my bottle of Essence for a while now but this was my first time using it. Paint was already in excellent condition so I applied it more like a wax (i.e. faster arm speed, only 2-3 passes, light pressure)...

    DP Gloss Tire Gel

    Just tried this out for the first time tonight. Product is a thick highlighter yellow gel and smells great (lemon limey, exactly like UWW+). Very easy to use, spreads nicely with a sponge, and leaves the tires exactly how I like them; dark with a nice sheen but not too shiny. Also no greasy...

    Finishing/maintenance polish suggestions

    I usually give my car a quick polish twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Nothing major, just a quick cleanup to remove any light marring that may have accumulated from washes over the months. For this I have mostly been using AIOs and working them with ~2-3 fairly quick passes...

    Rupes P808 vs Wolfgang Liquid Seal

    Anybody have experience with both? How do they compare in terms of looks, durability, and application? Is P808 safe on trim like liquid seal is? Reason I ask is because P808 seems like a comparative bargain but it haven't been able to find many reviews on it. I would probably dilute half of it...

    Polish you can let dry before wiping?

    I often find myself using AIO's for minor correction work not because I don't plan on using a LSP but because I can do at least a few panels before wiping without giving myself a hard time with removal. Trying this with ultimate polish, for instance, would be a nightmare. So my question is, are...

    I think I noticed maybe one or two mistakes but for the most part his technique was pretty sound

    Looking to upgrade from a PC

    I mainly detail as a hobby but I'm starting to do more jobs for friends, family, neighbours etc and I'm looking to upgrade to a more effective machine. I just find the PC kind of taxing to use. While it was great to learn with, it's loud, not particularly smooth, and just isn't very ergonomic in...

    Black Honda Paint

    Going to be doing a one step on black 2015 Accord soon. From what I've read the paint is super soft and finicky. I plan to use Menzerna 3 in 1 with a PC polisher. I have orange, white, and black LC pads. The goal is to correct as much as possible without leaving any haze or holograms. Any tips...

    What are you guys using for black trim and rubber seals?

    Currently have an old bottle of back to black thats getting low. Is it worth trying something new this time around? Looking for something: -cost effective -easy to apply -durable -non greasy (not into the really shiny look, just a nice deep matte or semi gloss black) -usable in the sun Bonus...

    BMW E30 Correction

    Going to be a doing a white e30 convertible (1990, I believe) for a friend soon. Paint is in decent shape for the age. Moderate swirling. No severe oxidation or contamination or anything like that. Just wondering if there is anything different I should be doing, with the paint being single stage...

    Meguiar's ultimate liquid wax

    Anyone know where you can buy this stuff without the included microfibre and foam applicator? Perhaps it is sold under a different name within the commercial lineup? I love the product but hate feeling that part of what I'm paying is for another towel and applicator that I don't need. If not...

    Menzerna 3 in 1

    Looking to get an AIO so I can do quick details for family and friends. I am considering this product as I can get a deal locally. Does anybody know if it will stain trim? I ask because if I have to tape off the car to use it then it wouldn't actually be much of timesaver.

    Recommend me a good carnauba wax

    Hey guys. Looking to make my first step into something a little higher end than your typical mothers/turtlewax/meguiars offerings without breaking the bank. I've been doing some research but I've been a little overwhelmed by all the options. Currently leaning towards something along the lines of...
