....but more of a quick booster wax. It couldn't do the job that my trusty Megs QD does at picking up dust and leaving a slick finish. I tried it on the hood of my MR2 that currently has EX-P x 2 and Nattys that were freshly applied last week. It's a garage queen so all it gathered was some...

...do you treat the roof the same way as you do the rest of the car? I'm just curious because I find it a little useless to put the same emphasis on the roof as far as claying/polishing is concerned since the view of the roof is pretty much hidden from normal view unless you were up high. Any...

I recently detailed a car using EX-P as a topper for the first time. What kind of durability should I expect? At this moment I question the durability because it was super easy to take off. Sorry no pics at this time

Interesting find on the Meguiars forum (not sure if this is a repost): Meguiars Forum (go halfway down the page)

I recently picked up an 8oz bottle of 303 Aerospace Protectant from my local REI and I finally had the chance to use it today. What I find interesting is that it seems to have the same qualities of Armor All. When I applied it to my dashboard and door panels I was expecting a matte finish but it...

I'm almost finished with my multiple layers of SG and I'm planning to top with some caranauba. I want to experiment with several caranaubas one by one to see which one looks the best. How would I be able to strip off wax without affectiing the SG layer? I already know that the overrated Dawn...

To make a long story short, I'm currently restoring the finish of a 1980 Benz. The car was repainted dark metallic green w/ clearcoat in 1994 but has been neglected ever since; it sat in the sun almost every day and has never been waxed. Here's an example of how it looked before I started the...

I'm currently doing a restoration on a 1980 MB that was repainted about 10 years ago. Since then it has sat in the sun almost every day. There is already clearcoat failure but thankfully its only isolated on the trunk lid: How can I fix this without repainting/respraying the trunk lid...

I've been dying to detail a black car ever since I got my PC and this 4th of July weekend I finally got my chance. My friend's 2000 Lexus GS300...immaculate shape but swirled and cobwebbed like no other. I love the lines of this car! My usual arsenal of attack is mostly Meguiars products but...

I'm doing a detail this week using AIO/SG/S100 and wondering what's the best QD for this combo? Could I just use Meguiars QD since I have a caranuba topper or do I have to use Sonus Acrylic Spritz since AIO/SG has acrylic? I'm confused!

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo...never waxed once and had moderate swirls that were easily taken out with DACP. Since it's white I had a hard time determining if the swirls were gone (only one set of fluorescent lights in my garage). I had to back it out of the garage several times to see if...

It has to me!

Detailed my bro's VW Golf III. It's a single stage (I think) w/o clearcoat that had medium oxidation and some water etching that I couldn't take out completely (ran out of 3MFCRC). Instead I used #9 with a yellow pad and it worked for most of the oxidation but some was just too deep and it was...

I had the chance to detail my sister's VW Beetle over the weekend and here it is. Since its purchase in 1999 it has never been waxed or even detailed. The surface was in pretty bad shape...severe cobwebbing and deep scratches. Since I got my PC I willingly volunteered my services to get her car...

Just for the sake of agressiveness, which one is more agressive? I'm currently using 3MRC and I'm thinking of picking up some DACP.
