Blackfire Trim and Tire Sealant Review I received this product in a AutopiaForum giveaway with a condition for a review. This was a new product to the Blackfire line and available in two sizes: 4 oz and 8oz. Claims: BLACKFIRE Total Trim & Tire Sealant is far more than a trim dressing...

There have been several good reviews on the Mothers Trim Cleaner already so this is really more than a demonstration comparison. Optimum Power Clean is my favorite all purpose cleaner and usually my go to product for cleaning trim prior to applying a trim dressing. I typically use UTTG but...

I had received a sample of CG VRP in trade so do not know if there is more than one version. The CG adds the words it super shine on labeling. Scent: No detectable intended scent. It smelled almost stale. This is odd for a CG product. Color/Consistency: White medium. Close to what many call...

ACC had sent me two wool wash mitts in a prior giveaway. I did post a review of the first mitt and never really did the second one. US Residents only. It is unused in original packaging. I will ship to you at no charge. So, I am offering it as a give away to all subject to the following...

I copied this from PB's forum because I thought it was a very useful post on PB products.

I have a question for Dr. G. On detailing forums, there are some that state they are chemists (or associated with them) and then plenty of some that think they are. We often try to make predictions on products by the MSDS sheets (for those product makers that willingly provide them) that may...

There are some soaps (several CG soaps that mention it specifically) say they strip LSP's. What test is the proof given that products can leave a surface beading or sheeting? When I notice an LSP degrading I see neither sheeting or beading but is that proof for a stripping soaps.

I washed the truck and decided to use Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds in my Cam Spray foam cannon using an electric pressure washer (1400 psi / 2GPM). In the reservoir, I used 2 oz to 16 oz warm water with a little shaking. Result: The foam was decent with very good stickiness - a plus if you...

Anyone use these? I am more interested in a dressing applicator. What I want to know is how far the wooden handle ends at the tip. I need something that will collapse about 1/4-in minimum. http://ep.yimg.com/ay/autopia/lake-country-detail-sticks-12-pack-6.jpg

Some reviews for some products I have recently used. Extreme Body Wash and Synthetic Wax Source: sample from a trade Scent/Color: Grape / reddish more than purple Dilution: Used 1 oz to 3 gallons (never use as diluted as CG) Foam: Moderate frothy airy suds. Suds did not really build in rinse...

I have some matte black wheels and noticed when I was first washing it that the wheels tended to want to spot (did not dry well) so I purchased Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Detailer based upon some reviews by mjlinane on his matte experiences. The product is pricey ($24.99!) but it has a...

The wife had purchased a Griot's foam sprayer for me for Christmas about 3 years ago but last year I had noticed the trigger had been sticking - slow to return so would not cut off easily. I was checking it recently as I was cleaning up the supplies and it still was sticking so almost useless...
