    Need a tire protectant recommendation

    As part of my detail procedure, I scrub the tires down really good with a degreaser (currently, Purple Power). This gives them an AWESOME look, but it never stays. They end up being a really nice matte finish, just a hint of sheen, and dont look greasy at all. Anyone know what I could use...

    First Huge Correction - 99.5 Mk4 Black Jetta

    This is my buddie's car, and he has it up for sale. The paint was straight up trashed, swirls and scratches everywhere, and a pretty intense amount of buffer trails. I couldnt get pictures of the trails to come out, but the rest is in there. Steps: 1st wash: Megs Gold Class (mixed heavy)...

    When do I know when my pads have bitten the dust?

    I've inherited some Meg's SoftBuf (the first ones, I think. Model numbers W7/8/9000) from my dad. They were used maybe once (when we realized that regular buffing pads werent touching our boats gel-coat), then cleaned and put away. I've used the polishing and finishing pads for maybe 5 or 6...

    How far does Optimum Polish and Compound go?

    I'm looking to order some detail supplies for my normal spring ritual. This year, though, I'm going to be doing mine and the girlfriends cars, along with my moms, dads, dads girlfriend, girlfriends parents cars, and a few more. So, I wanted to get some good product for my car, and I'm going...

    Pre-Winter Detail

    I'm going to be performing some prewinter details shortly (next few weeks), and I want to know what you all do to get the cars ready for snow, salt, and other hazards. Particularly, what LSP's (waxes or sealants or 2-steppers) do you use? I'm personally looking for something strong...

    Winter Wax: Meg's NXT or the Klasse TwoStep

    So, this weekend, I will be doing a really early pre-winter detail, because I'm starting to get close to the end here. I'm probably going to end up doing multiple layers of whichever I end up doing, I just don't which to do. I'm going to doing a wash-clay-wash, then either the NXT or Klasse...
