Lovin this stuff, looks like it`ll last a quarter......(garaged most of time)

I hate tire Browning. Also known as tire "bloom", it happens to a lot of new tires and has to do with oxidation etc.… Here`s an easy way to get rid of it for years. Use stoners terminator once/twice a year to get the wheel clean, then immeditly rinse it with soap/water, and apply TAC tire...

Love the essence/reload combo.....looking for a finishing AIO/polish and then a WOWA spray....not a full blown coating.....does gyeon have the equivalent? And then the next logical question: is it as good? Thanks!

I`ve never had this problem, but some on the Camaro sites reporting that CS "attracts" pollen. anybody seen this and how did you correct?

So after mounting the new wheels and driving 200 miles, it was time to put some protection on them. Because they were new, I didn`t have to use a wheel cleaner per se and went go straight to Carpro Hydrofoam which is a car shampoo with silicon dioxide plating infused in it. So using a microfiber...

On the car forums I frequent, I try and introduce people to rinseless, naturally as you know, I`m always met with skepticism, or they are thinking this is some newfangled process. So this morning I dug up a thread I put on a honda forum, this was 3.5 years old! It Is amazing to me on the car...

This car is easy to detail, the paint is respectable and takes a finishing polish well. so here's the regimen I use: 1. wash and Nanoskin prep towel (much nicer than clay) 2. Finishing polish: Menzerna 4500, white med pad with a Griot's CORDLESS orbital. (get one for Xmas, they are great!) 3...

I am finding being in a condo garage in Florida is allowing the products on the car to last a lot longer then when I kept the car outside. So today I decided to pull the car out of the garage and give it a quick detail. Although the car just went through a 200 mile rainstorm, it was...

I have a new scooter exhaust I would like to treat. I can get the satin finish nice and clean with my orbital and Borla exhaust metal polish, but then I want to seal it. Can you use CQUARTZUK on it? Will it hold up to temp? thanks

The new Z06 Vette is avail with carbon ceramic brakes...any one have a tried and approved method of cleaning and sealing the wheels that will not affect the CC brakes? Some products say don't use it. What works for sure and the mfr says that? thanks!

I wrote this for the Vette sites for newbies to detailing, I'll post it here as we all like pics....LOL - enjoy - Special thanks to Vega for the thread here doing a review of the Sonax wheel cleaner. For those that have read my detail process, you realize my mission is to find...

Just another product review.....a friend with a 11 year old 530 wanted a wheel cleaning, and we used a brush and ironx TR.IX. Went total purple in 30 secs, attacking iron particles and after a quick spray of hydro2, they looked stunning for being 11 years, 135k miles . Enjoy

Has anyone used both? On wheels? I am looking for one of these to do my new wheels coming in. I know they are both good, interested in how they may differ - gloss? durability? ease of application? etc etc and which Permanon product do I want to use for this? Please tell me I'm fine with...

Ok, before I start this,let me just say I do not expect a hand held orbital to be anywhere near as powerful as a the griots plug-in 6 ½ inch, or any orbital. I "get that" all day long, how could it? I don't need super "correction" on my new car that gets meticulous care. But it's a bit more...

Okay so now I'm confused… I just talked to the manufacturer that's making my new wheels and the wheels are clear powder coated. I mentioned that I would probably use a sealant like cquk on them and the sales tech got visibly upset and said "no ! powder coat needs nothing just soap and water!"...
