So let`s say it rains between doing Klasse AIO and Sealant Glaze (no garage :( ). What`s a safe product to quickly wipe-off dust and water spots that won`t remove the good that AIO applied, but will work well with applying the SG afterwards? I have an assortment of products already including...

I am a beginner/home detailer with a Porter Cable DA. After many years I decided to dig out my gear and try to give my car another deep detail. I started with Meguiar`s Ultimate compound with an orange bad but was not getting good results. I then tried a yellow pad and got better results but I...

After a bit of a lull (that darn life outside of car-care) I'm ready to pick back up and begin. I've been collecting stuff over time, and today finally ordered my Porter Cable 7424. Here's what else I have: Clay Magic kit Sonus DAS pad kit (yellow flexplate, orange pad, green pad, blue pad...

So you've got a black car you've busted your butt on, and finished with Souveran paste wax. What do you use to maintain it between washes? Assuming you use a California Duster first, which quick detailer would you choose?

So I got in Meguiars All-Surface Interior Scrub Brush, and found it is way too stiff for my carpets. Those bristles threaten to rip the pile right up and off. So while I grumble about my wasted few bucks, can someone suggest a good soft carpet brush?

So my Toyo Proxes FZ4s are wearing down so it's time to think about replacements. I've pretty much narrowed down to Toyo Proxes 4s (no shortage of Toyo fanboys, that's for sure), and the newer Korean Kumho Ecsta ASX tires. Both are ultra-high performance all-seasons. However I have separate...

Well it appears the paint on my roof is really thin... scratches too shallow to feel with your fingernail expose white primer. :( Any special advice on modifying the standard scratch-repair procedure to deal with this (short of repainting the roof)?

Yes, I know it's been asked a 100 times. Trust me, I've been searching and reading... But I don't come away with a clear idea. Everyone preaches "prepsol prepsol prepsol"... as if you can actually buy the stuff. I've searched all over, both shops and online. It doesn't appear anywhere. I'm...

The novel idea occurred to me that I could use touch up paint on my rims. :eek: Ha. Sorry, I'm slow... Anyhow, they are imported alloy rims with a high-lustre paint style that is hard to match. I've heard from some sources that it is called "hyper silver" and some people even say the...

Eek. I feel like I might be getting in over my head. :confused: I got myself a nice car recently (yes it's a Saab, sorry... I LIKE THEM). Actually it's not just any Saab, it's a Viggen. Anyhow, the paint is mostly nice but there are a bunch of tiny chips on the hood, a shallow scratch on the...
