I obtained a bottle in trade on AG and since my wife's driver needed some detailing I used the Pinnacle XMT soap and needed to maintain my MDC (see below). Given some of the reviews and my desire to try most any soap out, I was interested to see how it worked. The car has DP Max Wax which...

I am looking for a new general purpose carpet cleaner. I have been using Meg's APC+ or Folex but Folex just never seems to work well for me especially when compared to traditional carpet products like Resolve that really work a lot better. Meg's is supposed to be rinsed. I want something...

Until 4 years ago, David B. has self-executable detail guide on many aspects of detailing. I thought it was a nice self-contained ebook on detailing (washing, waxes, etc). I wonder if that would be a good "container" for all your how to articles.

I had used DP Max Wax for the first time several weeks ago. I applied by machine and it went on and came off very nicely. I rated the looks in the "coating" look and decent slickness. So, after a few weeks and a couple rains, I finally got to wash it. I noticed that the sides (doors) did not...

I really like the wheel woolie but one disadvantage is the small diameter handle and gets slippery when when dealing with soaps and cleaners. Has anyone tried adding a larger diameter handle or grip to the need to improve the grip?

Does anyone have these? My question is how far will the foam end of the stick collapse before it will bottom on the wooden part. I want a foam stick that has at least 5 to 6mm travel (almost 1/4-in). The typical craft type stick usually has the stiffener almost to the end.

Is the chat room coming back with more scheduled chats? TID has a different one (a toolbar from wibiya) that allowed streaming video/sound. Who could forget Bryan and Dasher's contributions?

With the demise of PAC, Palm Beach Motoring Group has purchased the mfg rights to Black Fire line and hired Tood to work with the place formerly known as Detail City (so no argument about the name). It is not clear if there will be an owner of TID announced or just silently go away but Jack...

I read on AG that Dwayne has left PBMA. :( I wonder if he got that Ram truck. Who will be the new mayor of AF?

The complete review was also updated and at http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/detailing-product-discussion-reviews/30964-cg-bare-bones-griots-uc-spray-comparison.html The test is over. I left the panel outside on a bank so water would not stand. We got a good rain after 2 days and this is...

I had some plastic shelving panels I had removed from a cabinet and decided to try some experiments with CG Bare Bones and Griot's Undercarriage Spray. The CG crowd says the are the same so I wanted to see if I could determine differences. This was something I just thought up today so nothing...

Anyone used LC Glass pads with glass polishes such as DP Glass Restorer? The store description mentions keeping the glass wet so wondering how safe these really are at removing water spots, etc.

Are these two pads (Griot's orange and LC orange) the same foam?
