    Which AIO?

    This is where I am. There are many spray sio sealants that are mure durable than today's aio's so I will just use a finish polish, quick rinseless wash then spray sealant.

    Is Detailed Image Dropping P&S and 3D?

    Detailed Image is marking down 3D and P&S items by approx 40% and are out of many items. Does this mean they are clearing out of those brands or the sale went better than they planned and were not adequately stocked up? I hope they are not dropping them, I ordered several items and would hate...

    Air Compressor Air Dryer/Air Filter/Oil Seperator Set Up With Portable Compressors

    How do you mobile guys set up your compressor`s air dryers, air filters and oil separators? In shops you can mount them to a wall, but my air compressor will be stored in a shed every night and taken out when needed for interior details, the shed does not have electricity to run the compressor...

    Replacement for Mequiars Body Solvent D-13001

    For years I have been using Meguiar`s Body Solvent for removal of road tar, adhesive, and other crud that I would encounter that even APC`s and degreasers had struggled with and it would dissolve them for much easier remove. Tarminator does a pretty good job but, not quite as good as Meg`s Body...

    3D Super Concentrated Nano Drums

    Has anyone tried the Nano drums by 3D? Does Nano Super Soap at a 1/2 oz per 5 gallon really perform the same as Pink Soap at 1 oz per gallon? Basically ten times as concentrated? Or does Nano Super Duty at 3oz per gallon perform the same as Grand Slam at 13 oz per gallon? Curious of your...

    Rinseless Washes Taking the Place of QDs and Spray Waxes

    Many rinseless washes advertise they can be used in place of QDs and Spray Waxes. Have any of you stopped buying QD and or Spray Waxes and only use detail strength Uber, ONR w/wax, IUDJ, Ultma, etc.. Or do you find dedicated QDs and Spray Waxes just do a better job.

    Meguiars Detailers Line 5 Gal Jugs

    Anyone know where I could find the 5 gal jugs Meguiars uses for their Detailers Line? I do mostly rinseless washes so 5 gallons is a good amount to carry around. What I like about those jugs is the screw cap can have a garden hose screwed into it, that makes filling them very easy. Also, with...

    3D Grand Slam vs Megs Super Degreaser

    I have gone through several 5 gallon jugs of Super Degreaser and like the product. It is good for engines, nasty wheel wells, pads caked with wax, sealant, polish, etc., or a few ounces in the wash to get the same out of towels and it does a pretty good job. Just curious about Grand Slam...

    Akebono Brake Pads

    Many years ago I bought a set of Akebono brake pads based on a recommendation on here. They were great, low dust, lasted I don`t remember how many years to be honest. As times have changed, are Akebonos a brand you all still use or has technology changed and there are better options? Also...

    Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo or APC

    Which do you use? Or does it depend on each circumstance? I have been using Megs APC for quite a while. Looking at some of 3D`s products but noticed their carpet and upholstery shampoo and am considering it too.

    Brake Dust in Boars Hair Brush

    Brake Dust in Boars Hair Brush During the winter I use a new Boars Hair Brush to wash my car with. After the brush starts showing wear, I buy a new one and the old one gets moved to wheel duty (they do a good job on wheels). I had a brain fart this week. I wasn`t paying close attention and...

    Heavily Oxidized Single Stage Paint

    I received an email about polishing a single stage paint heavily oxidized. Any difference polishing that versus clear coat paint which I have done several of? My assumption is I will need wool to cut through the oxidation and will need to clean the pad, pretty much every section.

    Garry Dean Towels

    As I use up my ONRW, I plan to buy some IUDJ. Looking at Garry`s site, he has bundled deals with the purchase of towels and my towel inventory could use some new ones as some of the older ones are showing wear. His regular mf towels are 3.99 and the waffle weaves are 9.99. If the towels are...
