Is the Sonax wheel cleaner safe for use on polished wheels? I have alway seen where people have used it on painted alloy wheels, but never chrome or polished wheels, so this had me wondering. Also, will using this wheel cleaner take off any kind of sealant applied to the wheels?

I have an extra seat of new leather seat skins that I have acquired a while back that I have been storing inside in plastic storage containers. The fitment is kind of tight, and they don't really lay completely flat inside of the container. I don't want them to get all wrinnkled up from sitting...

For a quick detailer that I keep in my car, I like to use a waterless wash mixed to QD strength since it seems much better than a typical quick detailer. For a while now I have been using ONR as my QD. While it works great at cleaning the surfaces, the thing I don't like is that it seems to...

I have never used the PC before to apply pre wax (non abrasive) cleaners to a vehicle before, in the past I have done it by hand application. I am going to be using stuff like the Four Star Pre wax, the Poorboys non abrasive cleaner, etc on darker GM vehicles. I don't want to end up using a pad...

I have become interested in trying out FK1000P and have been reading threads posted about it, but in doing so I have found out about FK2180. From what I have seen FK2180 seems to offer the same high melting poing, ability to repel dirt, and overall resistance to the elements as 1000P. So really...

I have been using ONR QD strength for a long time now for my bird bomb carry kit, and for removing fresh bug splatter in the evenings between washes. I was just wanting to see if there is anything else out there that is better for my uses, since I am unfamiliar with whats out there. The one...

I am sure that this has been asked before, but new detailing products are being released all the time and it seems like they are constantly improving. I recently tried out Blackfire Wet Diamond and was impressed with the ease of use and protection so for, since this I am going to move over to...

I have seen where some sealants claim to be highly resistant to UV and infrared radiation, BFWD is one I know of specifically. With regular use, can a product like these actually prevent slow fade? Is the protection, if any, enough to actually block UV rays from the finish of a vehicle, or is...

I currently use ONR mixed to QD strenght as my quick detailer, and was thinking of getting something that has a little more cleaning ability for QD moments. I came across Optimum Opti Clean, but I am kind of skeptical about a product that claims that it can be used on all surfaces. Has anyone...

I am about some brand new headlights soon for my car, and I want to keep them protected from normal driving and the sun if possible. It seems the only option is to use a film over the lights, which I guess is similar to that used on front end bras. I have seen the pre cut ones that Lamini-X...

A couple months back I fully detailed my car, polished, and then used Collinite 845 as my LSP. On some sections I used only Blackfire Wet Diamond to test out the look and durability, since I wanted to see how it compared to 845. Since then I have washed and cleaned using Optimum Car Wash along...

I noticed on Costco's website that they no longer have the Eurow 4 pack sheepskin mitts listed? I ordered from them before, since the had them the cheapest. I haven't looked in the store to see if they have them, but maybe they only carry them seasonal. Is there any other good places that...

With cooler weathing coming on quick, I figured its time to get started on getting my car stored in the next few weeks. At the moment I have no garage, so I plan on renting a 12 x 24 or larger storage building to keep it safe from the crap called winter. The stoage building I was planning on...

Hey all, I am looking at a house right now that has a full basement with a two car garage. From one side it looks like a one story house, and from the other it looks 2 story and that's where the garage is. Anyways I am excited since it has a massive garage along with a finished basement behind...

I have been really wanting to try out the bottle of Blackfire Wet Diamond, so I am going to give it a go soon. Before using it I wanted to ask a few thing first to make sure I apply it right. I know with some waxes and sealnts I have used that if you don't apply them super redicilously thin, you...

A friend of mine asked me if I could wash and add some sort of LSP protection to his Victory Red (birght red) Chevy Cobalt tomorrow to which I agreed. The car sits outside and never sees a garage, but he does hand wash it which is usually once or twice a month. So it does see the typical...

I am considering giving the Blackfire Wet Diamond a try, but I haven't use a pure sealant since Z5 which was many years ago. Z5 was ok as far as looks, but most importantly I need something that will provide protection against frequent driving and being exposed to the outside elements. I have...

What have you all found to be the best option to use after polishing to make 100% sure that all polishing residdual oiils and lubricants are left, and that only the true fnish is being revealed? I know IPA is probably the most poular method, but I have found that sometimes that even few IPAs...

I tested out a couple new products that I just bought, a compound and a polish on a old pannel that I have lying around. Before polishing this pannel was cleaned thoroughly, dawn washed, and sprayed with Meguiars APC. So I divided the pannel in sections and used both the compound and polish in...

I decided to pick up some of the Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish based on poisitve reviews I have read on some of the forums. I tested them both out on a junk test pannel I have, and was surprised at the results I got by hand alone at removing scratches and swirling. It almost...
