Is one noticeably better than the other? AW is quite a bit cheaper, $7.50 for 22 ounces (34 cents per ounce) or 29.99 per gallon (23.4 cents per ounce) where as QD+ is 12.99 for 16 ounces (81 cents per ounce) or 39.99 per gallon (31 cents per ounce).

I realize the paint on a motorcycle helmet is not the same as on the motorcycle but shouldn't it be protected somehow? I assume that paint can fade/oxidize just like auto/motorcycle paint. I just bought a black Nolan N102 for the Honda Shadow I got a few weeks ago.

Last week, I just bought a 2002 Honda Shadow. One of the tail pipes has a scuff mark that is beginning to rust. I assume I need to sand the rust out then put some type of protection on it? What type of protection do you recommend?

I was PM's EisenHulk and mentioned to him that I would be in Lexington that Oct 31 through the 1st and mentioned having a get together on the 1st (Saturday). He mentioned starting a thread inviting anyone who wants to come along. So if anyone wants to join, reply to the thread. EisenHulk...

Does anyone know what the difference between 105 and 95 is? Both have cut rated at 12.

I did a search and could not come up with anything so I figured I would start the thread. Over the winter I have been washing my car with ONR and using hot water in the rinse and wash bucket just to keep my hands warm. However, I have noticed that the hot water seems to make the ONR wash...

Is Poor Boy's Spray and Wipe any better than ONR at QD strength? I realize that S&W is not very expensive but that is just one more product to add to the collection and ONR is dirt cheap at QD strength. Also, I don't hear much about Spray and Gloss. That adds shine only I assume? No...

Has anyone tried something like this? Finish Kare FK1 1119 / 883 Paint Decontamination System If so, how well did it work for you?

You know, I really like the feature but I just can't put my finger on why:D Speaking of Bob, he is having a big clearance sale right now. Alot of Four Star items on sale along with some Poorboys and Clearkote products on sale. Also on sale are some of the Lake Country Foam Curved Edge...

Recently purchased some Danase Assassin and gave it a try. After hearing of many cautionary tales of wheel acids staining many users' wheels I was very hesitant to buy the product. I decided to try the product to give it a try on the interior side of my wheels for two reasons. 1) Bob touted the...

My car has very hard paint - white paint. Last fall I polished my car with an orange 5 inch CCS pad and Optimum Compound. OC did a pretty decent job on the swirling by using two passes but still some swirling. My paint was so hard, it finished LSP ready. I went ahead and followed it with...

It is a new product being carried by Jeff's Werkstatt and their German partner Carlack. I will probably order some as a substitute for RainX and Aquapel but was curious if anyone had tried it.

When cold weather came in, I took all my liquid products out of the garage and into the house to prevent freezing. I left behind towels, mitts, applicators, brushes, and buffer pads. What about clay? Can cold weather damage it? I doubt it but I wanted to make sure. I won't be claying again...

Is this too much of a jump? I will be using Optimum Hyper Compound on the Yellow pad (VERY hard paint) and cleaning up the haze with Optimum Polish. However, I am wondering if this is too far of a jump. Do I need to use Optimum Compound on an Orange or Green Pad in between?

I really like how a glaze gives people's cars a deeper wetter look. My question is, how do you incorporate a glaze into a wash -> clay -> (polish if needed) -> AIO -> sealant procedure. You obviously do not want to put the glaze on before the AIO, otherwise, it will just be leaned off by the...

If the hex wrench (or is it an allen wrench) that comes with the Makita 9227 is missing, can another wrench that would work be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes? Or is the wrench specific to this machine and a replacement would have to be ordered from Makita?

Eventually I will step up from my UDM and get a Makita rotary. Which works better, the 9227C or the BO6040?

I often times see posters using these products for similar tasks. Are they basically interchangable? Or are there some tasks that a Citrus Degreaser will do a better job than an APC and vice versa?

I received a 12 oz (or was it 16oz?) of Sonus MF wash for free with a purchase. I liked it and it did seem to wash my towels better than regular liquid detergent. When I used it up, I decided to buy Danase MF wash since I could buy it in bulk (a gallon) and therefore it was better value than...

Online or at the dealership? I assume I could get a better price online. The last time I ordered a few ounces of touch up paint at the stealership, it was extremely expensive.
