    Few ?s after a detailing yesterday

    I usually wash my car once a week, so I was thinking if I can just wait until Friday I can wash it and then put some meguiars UQW on it with a Microfiber and hopefully that fixes it

    Few ?s after a detailing yesterday

    I have a bottle of Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer - Your saying I should spray my entire car down with that and wipe it with a Microfiber to fix whatever happened overnight with the wax?

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    I picked up some purple power and put it in a Walmart like 80 cent spray bottle and the thing didn't even last 2 minutes before it broke. Either the bottles cheap or purple power totally destroyed the thing, or both lol Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    I enjoy a good deal as much as the next guy but I can't wrap my head around people who pay 10 dollars for a 5 gallon bucket when you can go to Home Depot and get a homer one for 2 dollars that still fits a grit guard. I see no benefit at all and they even sell lids there too if u need one Sent...

Should...

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    I know that I myself have never really looked into waterless car washes - other then just believing they are a bottle of quick detailer and nothing more -- But I think my main concern with them is this I live in New Hampshire, So the only time I would ever use them is in the winter time when...

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    So its good for applying liquid sealants / waxes to paint and maybe some trim work like back-to-black on plastic trim things like that without falling apart? Maybe it was just the rough texture of the tire that caused it to start to fail I also saw these on ebay Ecolab Car Wax Applicator Pads...

    Newb, Few Questions Here
