and before we have any wars - remember, this is to cover ALL of the good stuff - Blackfire, Zaino and Klasse. A couple of weeks ago, while washing and throwing a coat of P21S on my truck, a friend was over and asked me how I got the truck so nice & shiny :D I mentioned the Klasse - and we...

Dunno if anyone else here uses laundry detergent on their carpets, but I mixed myself a bucket, using some OxiClean stuff that my wife uses in the laundry. Results were pretty good - but I don't know what the long term effects would be, so I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone else is...

I have a Honda whose windshield is a complete nightmare - water spots galore, all kinds of gunk. I saw someone mentioned BonAmi - so I was walking through the local drugstore, and picked up a can. Alarming - I realize now this stuff is basically Ajax!!! Granted - it "says" it won't...

Anyone ever used this product? Supposedly, it's for use on boats, and does a great job of removing water spots. I'm not so much thinking of using it on paint - but I've got a good deal of glass on my two older cars (not to mention my shower) that could use something that's good at getting...

Has anyone here tried this stuff? I use 303 and am very satisfied with it - not really looking to replace it. However... I have a lot of vinyl and leather around the house that I'd like to protect the way I protect the car, but I'm not willing to spring the bucks that go with the 303...

Calling all roof-rack experts... I'm looking for a cargo rack for the top of my ML320 SUV. It comes with 58" railings along the sides, but that's about it. So far, I've narrowed down my choices to: Yakima Doublecross or Lowriders Thule Rapid Railing 754 The pricing seems fair (about...

After searching long and hard for a carnauba topper to add to my Klasse, I finally decided to order some P21S Paste Wax from CMA. Unfortunately, although I ordered right before Christmas, the weather here wasn't civil enough for me to get outside and throw some on, until this past weekend...

Looking for some opinions that anyone might have with regards to the above products being used as a topper for SG. The way I'm reading it (having read reviews/comments from others on the site): PPG = low durability, great shine, no residue on black trim, optimized for light colored cars...

Help me out here, guys... I'm looking at the CMA kit for the PC - and it almost looks to me like I won't use too many of these pieces (which doesn't mean it's a bad kit - just that I might be better off going a la carte). I've got two cars I'll be using the PC on - a dark red 94 Honda...

After buying myself a 2002 MB ML320, I've decided to pick up an extra set of rims and get some winter tires as well. People have been trying to talk me out of it - since I'm in NYC, and the snow here during the winter isn't exactly a regular occurrence. The thing is - after spending so much...

I've bought some great stuff thanks to the advice on this board - but conspicuously, I left out the carpets and fabrics in my interior. To make matters worse, I've got a beige interior, and a baby on the way (I know - real genius move to buy beige just in time for a baby). I've done my...

and the mods for this great board.. I just finished Klasse'ing my new ML320, and love the results (so much, I just don't have the heart to throw carnuba on it - yet ;)) All I can say is - you guys ROCK. Have a great holiday! -J

Having just taken delivery of my new car (only 5 miles; first time I'm owning something with less than 90k on the odometer ;) - I'm trying to protect that bad boy inside and out. The interior is a special consideration for me - since the next family addition is due sometime in January, and...

This might be a stupid question that I know the answer to - so apologies in advance... I finally got around to claying my car this weekend with Mother's clay kit. Good stuff - and thanks to those that posted reviews of this product in the forums. I initially got some streaking, and then...

Sorry for the wierd title... Due to no fault of CMAs, my order was delayed an extra day (damn AMEX) and I find myself with the day off, my new car (unwashed at delivery, per my request) and my clay bar, ready to do some claying. Problem - my order had the Klasse I was going to use...
