While browsing another forum, I found several references to Carnauba waxes not having UV protection. As I understood what was being said, you have to use a sealant for UV protection. When I did some checking at various wax sites, I found many references to the UV protection afforded by Carnauba...

I'm not much of a chatter, but evidently you people aren't chatters, either. :confused:

While browsing a few forums, I noticed a few comments from people that didn't like the look of Opti-Seal. They didn't appear to be really putting it down or saying brand "X" looked better, just a general statement by a few that they didn't care for the look. I thought the stuff looked great so...

Do many of you use distilled water when diluting a product? Not for washing, but for the mixes we sometimes make up from concentrated products. Examples: Woolite & water DP 4 in 1 or ONR Quick Detailer Window cleaners APCs for various uses That's just some examples and isn't meant to be all...

The Blazer got a S&W wash today and since a friend had given me some NXT 2.0, it seemed like it would be better used on the vehicle rather than left in the bottle. :) 1. Easy on. 2. Easy off. 3. I tried to avoid the black trim as much as possible, but didn't see any evidence of staining. The...

52 degrees yesterday afternoon, 50 this morning. So far, the Blazer is washed, the GTP is washed and waxed, and the Montana is washed, polished and waxed, (kinda). That's where the different process comes in. :) Having read where Scottwax removes Optimum Poli-Seal with OCW to save a step, I had...

DP 4 in 1 is my usual rinseless wash, but a friend gave me some ONR to try. I didn't really see any difference between the ONR and the 4 in 1 so I thought I would try the ONR as a pre-soak at the QD ratio. As I have often mentioned, the DIY spray wash I use doesn't do a very good job of removing...

A comment made in another thread got me to thinking about using 4" pads for the few times a PC seems to take forever to correct a problem. It seems like rather than buy a Flex or learn to use a rotary, buying a 3.5" backing plate and a couple of 4" pads might be worth checking into. Reply by...

With all the hype about the Flex and the controversy about the UDM, the new Meguiar's G110 seems to have been overlooked. Is it available and being shipped? Surely a few of them have been out long enough for some opinions to have been formed. Any comments? I do intend to check at MOL, but it's...

With the present interest in extremely plush and even shag MF towels, I wonder if this is really all that great of an idea. It has been my experience that MF towels tend to grab and hold particles of various types. Might be dirt, might be leaves, might be lint, just stuff. My more plush towels...

I'm not going to be home tonight, but it looks like you are forgetting "Chat Night" again.:dunno:

Since the City is still functioning, you must have: A: Avoided the outage B: Had a generator handy; Glad to see things are still working. :bigups

There seems to be a never ending discussion about how bad dishwashing soap may or may not be for automobiles. How about a discussion about why you would even want to use it in the first place? 1. Sal Zaino says it's a good idea. One man's opinion. He also was against anything but cotton terry...

My friend in the body shop has about worn out his Flex Rotary. The last time he had new brushes installed and general maintenance performed, they told him th motor armature was just plain wearing out. So far, he has had no luck finding a Flex dealer in Des Moines, Iowa and since the Flex has...

The leather seating in many cars is only partly leather covered. Often just the actual seating area with the sides and backs being vinyl. It is not uncommon for the rear passenger area to be all vinyl. My question is: How do you tell the difference between the leather and the vinyl areas? The...

Having used three of these products with pretty good results, I was curious about a few things. First let me say that for me, DP 4in1 and ONR seemed to be about the same. I'm not sure that if I didn't know which I had put in the bucket which one I was using. Both seemed just a little...

What products do you truly need to keep your car looking good? Not what you have or use, but what would you really have to own to be able to keep a vehicle looking good? A quick list for me. 1. Washing material. This could vary for lots of people depending on how they plan to wash. I would hate...

With all the badmouthing domestic vehicles get, this was interesting to see. Man's '91 pickup passes the 1M-mile mark - Yahoo! News FWIW, We have 4 GM, and 2 Honda 4 wheel vehicles in the family. Also a couple of Honda 2 wheelers.

I almost forgot! The day I stopped at Auto Zone and saw the CD-2 on the shelf, they also had NXT 2.0 for sale. Both paste and liquid versions. I think the price was $15.99 for either, but since I wasn't interested, I didn't pay real close attention.

With the large amounts of rain and snow that much of the country has been receiving, I was curious how many of you are still on restricted water use. While we have had some dry conditions over the years, I don't remember any true restrictions. We have been asked to not water lawns and not wash...
