    Optimum Poli-Seal Consistency?

    Hey everyone. I have a 32 oz bottle of Optimum Poli-Seal that I bought maybe a year or a year and a half ago. I'm getting ready to do some spring cleaning on the car and was going through my products today. I totally forgot I even had the Poli-Seal! Too many things haha. Anyways I'm just...

    Cadillac escalade

    CarPro Dlux is like Cquartz, but for plastic and wheels. Like Cquartz, it's a semi-permanent nano coating. CarPro says it should last about a year. Dlux on AutoGeek Nick's Review Another popular option is Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus. It's what I and many others on the forum use.

    Honestly, is foaming even effective? Isn't a simple wash mitt much better?

    I don't have a foam gun, but I did experience something yesterday that makes me believe in them. I used a touchless wash (it was still in the 20's here in Indiana...) and it started with two separate foam pre-soaks. With each one, I watched the foam completely carry away three different spots of...

    Honda Civic 2008 - Full detail + PDR (Hail damage)

    Wow that was quite the transformation! That car was in pretty rough shape. I definitely need to learn how to do PDR. Also, what did you use on the wheel wells? I don't now if they're the same, but my Honda has this body-colored rubbery coating that's a pain to clean.

    What's the best polish for a beginner?

    As everyone else said, the Griot's DA, Meguiar's G110, and Porter Cable 7424 are all good, affordable entry-level polishers. I learned on a Griot's and still love it. As for polishes, I started with the Wolfgang Twins, Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 and Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0. I think...

    Dust Retention Problem

    Just an idea here. Not sure if it'll help so maybe some others can chime in. I just saw Nick's Review of CarPro Hydro2. It's a sealant that you spray on after washing, while the car is still wet, and then rinse off. In the review, he just dries it with a Metro vacuum. Since you don't have to...

    Anyone know what this is?

    Hey guys. I'm trying to get this stuff off a friend's Toyota Sienna. His wife drove through the stuff and doesn't remember what it was. It's been stuck for a month or so now and is all over the wheel wells and side of the car. I thought it was concrete at first, so I tried muriatic acid on it...
