    Blue Magic Spot and Stain lifter...

    I've been using this stuff for a while now...thought I would post up and see if anybody else has discovered it. It comes in a large blue bottle with a jet-stream nozzle...and is super-carbonated. It has destroyed every stain I have managed to get on my 4runner's carpet...including ink and oil...

    EX-P or NXT ok in the sun?

    I haven't resealed my paint since I moved out of my duplex and into an apartment (no garage now :bawling: ) I'm heading to the car wash to do my wash and clay, and want to break out my pc in my apartment parking lot. I'm think EX-P or NXT because I can apply and remove either in about an...

    Everyone meet Michelle

    It's Michelle's Birthday, and I know women don't like to tell you their age, but she turns 1 this month. Michelle is a titanium metallic 04' 4-runner SE v8 4x4, and has about 15k miles. I promised her a polish, seal, and wax for her birthday, but after a dawn wash, her skin was smooth and...

    *Emergency Bulletin* Autozone Clearance

    I went to Autozone a moment ago, and couldn't find #26 on the shelf. The gentlemen at the counter instructed me that the #26 was on the clearance rack, along with a ton of other clearance stuff. All the stuff was marked about 50% off or so, and I got excited and grabbed 2 tubs of #26 (a...

    Bug Removal...what's your tool?

    Bug sponge...Wash Mitt....Small MF towel? Do you use bug removal solvents, or just soap and elbow grease? Bug season is in full swing here in the South, and here in a little while I'm going to start on my bug covered 'runner. I usually use a separte little "crappy" old microfiber to remove...

    #7 Before or After Sealant?

    I have always used #7 before my carnauba, but have taken a liking to sealants over the past year and have not used #7 in conjunction with a sealant. Can you seal on top of #7? I usually do AIO, VM, or 1z Metallic and then a LSP. I plan on doing a full weekend detail, and want to polish, seal...

    AIO non abrasive?

    I know it has chemical cleaners, but not any abrasives right? I want to know if I can use it often on my 4runner's front cover (often as in every 2-3 weeks). I drive an hour to work on the highway every day and need to deep clean often to remove imbedded bug particles and grime. I figure...

    Most versatile pair of polishes?

    I bought some VM a couple of weeks ago and have been extremely pleased with it's performance and look on my new 4runner. However, I've been detailing my parents and girlfriends vehilces lately and need a more more agressive polish and then light polish to back it up. So what pair would you...

    What's the most underrated product in your arsenal?

    Even with all these elite car care products available online, what product still has you running to wal-mart to buy? I'm sure most of you will buy the best product, regardless of price, but I bet there is a product that still outperforms the expensive small batch stuff at a fraction of the...

    Difference between 7424 and 7336sp?

    I can't find any....other than the 7336sp comes with a few sanding discs (but still has the polishing pad). My local Lowes has the 7336sp for $109 and just want to make sure I wasn't missing anything before I buy it in the morning. Thanks...

    Does the front end need more care?

    My front bumper collect bugs and debris daily, and although I meticulously keep it clean, we all know it receives more abuse than the rest of the car. Does anyone clay their front end more often to remove embedded bug contaminants? I know using a polish more often on the front end would...

    My 4runner

    I literally bought this camera today, so my picture skills suck (hence the finger:p ). Anyway, I snapped a bunch, but alot of them didn't take well to my incompetent photoshop skills. So here are a couple that turned out somewhat ok. Oh...btw... I used: Meguiars crystal wash Meguiars...

    Rock chips

    I just bought a new car (4runner obviously) and have kept my car absolutely pefect for the 3 weeks I've owned it. It really hasn't seen any dirt. Upon cleaning it again last night, I was horrified to see my fist 3 rock chips. They are very small mind you (more like rock "specs"), but to a new...

    Will someone answer some newbie Q's?

    Let me start off by saying I love the site, and had no idea there were so many specialty products out there. Glad to know there are other extremely anal people out there (my g/f thinks I need therapy!). I just bought an 04' 4runner, and want to raise it perfectly, so here are a few...
