've been kicking the tires and shopping for a new-to-me car and I've managed to make a short list of 2 cars: 2001.5 Audi S5 1999-2000 BMW 5 series E39 My basic requirements are: 4 doors, power, manual tranny (6 speed would be nice - dunno if this is an option on the 540i or only on the...

I searched but couldn't really find a specific answer. I have some serious scratches that were put into my car when it was shipped across country via train last year. :grrr i've tried everything short of wetsanding to remove them and I think i'm ready to bite the bullet and try. if I...

A few years ago I stocked up on aquapel at canadian tire. It was in the clearance bin and I scooped up all of the applicators that weren't broken. I've moved to calgary and haven't seen it at any Canadian Tire. Does anyone know if it's still available?

Hi all I've recently moved to a city which has very hard water (yay calgary). I've lived in Ottawa and Vancouver and it's not something i've ever had to worry about. I've managed to get rid of all of the lime deposits on the faucets by soaking them in a vinegar/hot water solution...

I have a potential non-detailing application for Klasse AIO (moderators, my appologies if this isn't in the appropriate forum). Basically, I'm making compression molds out of aluminum to pattern silicone. Silicone sticks to bare aluminum, but doesn't stick very well to acrylic (ideally i'd...

I want to try some but i know nothing about it. Can anyone here educate me? what are the good brands? what are the things to look for? Tim

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in quite a while, been super busy. I'm moving to Calgary from Vancouver in a month to start a new job but I'm worried about my vast collection of detailing products. I have bottles of Klasse, SSR1, 2.5, and 3 and many miscellaneous products that I will...

I just moved here from Ottawa and I'm trying to find some STP vision blades or aquapel applicators. I saw the thread where 4DSC spotted some vision blades at the CT on Cambie, but from what I've heard that CT is closed for renovations. I've popped into some other places like Lordco and the...

Princess auto is having a sale on this rotary this week for 34% off Does anyone have any experience with this rotary? If it is i'm going to scoop it up asap! Cheers Tim

SSR2.5 and SSR 1 with PC 2xAIO 1xSG 1x #7 1x s100 Kind of an odd combo, but i was kind of rushed and felt like experimenting a bit. I think the car turned out very nice. remove the .sized if you want the full 1024x768 rez pics. I'm starting to reall hate VW paint. I've done mine...

just read on another forum a "trick" to removing pine sap: baby oil! has anyone ever heard of this trick?

before: after (unfortunately, i got a pic of the infamous klasse smearing :o :o :o :o ) money shot! does this pic make me look fat? :up

I'm going to be ordering some Poorboys SSR3 and a 7.5" Orange Power Pad for some really stubborn problems on my car and a friend's car. My car is silver, his car is dark blue. My question is, what should I use after SSR3 to prep the surface for an AIO application? do I *NEED* to go SSR2.5...

I'm looking for soemthing more aggressive than DACP with a wool pad on a 7424. What about 3M FCRC with a CMA yellow pad? can you give me your recommendations?

looked like this to start out the car was bought used. I don't know what the previous owner or dealer did to the car, but this pic doesn't even give a hint of how bad it was. I think they must have gotten an ice scrapper or a broom and really went to town on the car in the winter. all of...
