    OTC All Purpose Cleaner

    Why did Meguiar's get rid of the D103 APC?

    Chemical Guy Tire and Trim Gel

    Is it the New Look Tire and Trim Gel? I have it and it looks really good on tires and plastic trim. I've only used OTC stuff before this, so I don't have a lot to compare it against. My only small complaint is that since it's oil-based, it seems to attract bugs and dust. My next tire/trim...

    APC on wood?

    I have some kitchen cabinets to clean before I sand/paint them. I have Meg's 103+. Has anyone used it on wood? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything and it sounds like it would clean as well as TSP, which is usually used for cabinets.

    Nitrogen vs. air...

    Nitrogen has nothing to do with fuel mileage. Keeping your tires inflated to the right pressure does.

    Nitrogen vs. air...

    Nitrogen will not extend the life of tires. Keeping them properly inflated and rotating them will though.

    Nitrogen vs. air...

    The idea that the ride is any different with nitrogen is a myth. Completely untrue. Also, the nitrogen itself doesn't increase fuel mileage, but keeping your tires inflated at the proper pressure does. I would rather buy a $10 digital tire gauge and just check the pressure every couple weeks...

    Adding a layer of sealant

    Last week I washed/clayed/polished/sealed my truck. I used CG V36 polish and Menzerna Powerlock. I only applied one coat of Powerlock mainly because I was running short on time. I need to wash the truck this week, so is it okay to just wash it and add a coat of sealant a week after the first...

    I will say I bought Chemical Guys grit guards. Not sure if they are any different than the rest of them.

    Need help with detailing a truck.

    Stand in the bed of the truck to do the rear part of the roof. I have to do that just to wash my Tundra with a mitt.

    What Color Trans Am?

    SLP makes some bad-a** exhausts. I had their Loudmouth catback on my '03 Mustang GT with a catted H-pipe and it sounded awesome. Little bit of a rumble at idle and it was nice and throaty. I love my truck but I miss that car. I will have another Mustang one day, hopefully an '03 or '04...

    Newbie Startup Questions

    If you're going to do any correction, just wait until you can wash, clay, compound/polish, then seal/wax. I think you're wasting time waxing then going back and removing it to do correction. That's just me though. From what I've read, a paint sealant will repel dust better than wax.

    VERSUS PART 1: CG Diablo vs Sonax Full Effect

    Just to add to this thread: I have used Diablo on our two vehicles now. One car with alloy wheels and my truck with black painted wheels. It is awesome. Smells great and lathers up really good when you agitate it with brushes. I should have taken some before and afters of the black wheels...

    2014 Silverado/Sierra

    The 2014 Silverados and Sierras look almost the same as the prior body styles, which in my opinion were ugly in the first place. I just really don't like the looks of Chevy trucks at all. Dodges look good but the brand reliability (Along with Jeep) is awful. I decided I wanted a truck late...

    Meg's d103 question

    I used it for the first time last weekend on my wife's car. I cleaned tires, wheel wells, door jams, plastic rear cargo mat, carepeted floor mats, and the engine with it and it worked great. I just diluted it at about 6:1 and used it at that strength on everything so I didn't have to mess with...

    SON1C Synopsis 38 : Chemical Guys - V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound Review Vs Meguiars M105 and M101

    I bought CG's sample pack of their V32-V38 series. I wanted to try them out on my cars first before I bought big bottles of anything. I want to do a two-step correction at most along with Menzerna Powerlock for the sealant. Which two CG products would you use? V32 followed by V36 or V38...

    Which car wash soap?

    I have a foam gun that I haven't used yet. How much soap do I put in it? Fill the whole thing or dilute with water?
