    How many of you use a MACHINE to WAX your vehicle?

    I'll never go back to hand waxing.

    Trouble dressing older tires?

    I feel stupid asking this (I really feel I should know better) but has anyone ever had trouble getting tire dressing to take on older tires? I've been seeing this happen a lot lately when I do cars for others. If the tires are older, it seems the tire dressing are just not as effective. This...

    poorboys... Tell me the truth

    I thought EX-P was pretty good. I like Duragloss #111 better but would have no hesitation recommending EX-P to anyone.

    Minimum drill for Meguiars DA Power System?

    I have the Harbor Freight DA. It's a great machine. Very well built and powerful. I can't recommend it enough. I've got close to 30 complete, multi-step details on mine and it has given me zero trouble. I think the better idea would be to get a Lake Country or comparable 5" backing pad. The...

    Which LSP for white?

    DG #111 looks very good on white. I topped it with S100 for some extra looks. Another good combo! :dblthumb2:

    Some DG Process Questions..Help Needed!

    According to Duragloss it is. 16 oz. - Duragloss TPP (Total Performance Polish) Duragloss Total Performance Polish (TPP) # 105 Applying #105 after #501 is pointless. It'll strip 501's protection (which is probably better than 105's to begin with) and simply replace it with it's own. If you're...

    Some DG Process Questions..Help Needed!

    Why would you use 501...a cleaner/polish AIO...and then follow up with 105 which is also a cleaner/polish AIO? :confused: Why not pick one of the two (for the record, I have 501 and it is an awesome product) and then top it off with #111, which is a pure sealant? That would eliminate the...

    Topping duragloss with nuba?

    On my old white Mustang, I topped #111 with both S100 and #26 yellow wax. Didn't think it offered much in the way of improved looks as Duragloss looks great already.

    how do I choose a polisher?

    That's what I would get. It's cheaper, more powerful and just as well made as the 7424XP.

    Best Winter Sealant?

    Collinite is not a sealant, just FYI. Duragloss #111 would be my recommendation. It is an exceptional sealant in both looks and durability. I got close to a year out it down here in perpetually rainy Florida.

    SON1C Synopsis 80 : Chemical Guys - Honeydew Snow Foam Car Wash Review

    I used this product and couldn't have been more underwhelmed with it. It's performance was decidedly average in every respect...which is pretty much par for the course when it comes to CG washes (and really, how many do they need?) The one wash that did impress me (Citrus Wash) seems to have...

    Engine Detailing - Wanting LESS Shine and MORE Protection/Longevity

    If you want better durability you're going to want an oil based dressing. As most here know I am not a huge fan of Chemical Guys but their Blue Guard II is a very good product. I used it on my engine bay months ago and it still looks good.

    What's a better LSP: DG 601/105, PNS, OOS?

    Why hasn't anyone recommended #111? It's an amazing sealant in terms of both looks and durability, low cost and available OTC. That's what I would use.

    Caliper painting

    Standard prep is to sandblast the part.

    Caliper painting

    Powdercoating is by far the better option. That said, a well prepped and painted surface can look very nice.

    Engine Bay Detail: what should I tape off?

    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-articles/50352-how-detail-your-engine-like-professional.html For the record, I've never bothered covering things when detailing my own cars. I simply rinse, spray the APC/degreaser, agitate if needed and then spray it down with the pressure washer. With...
