    which topper and why?

    Given the choice between OG Blitz, Megs #26 and P21s Carnuba which would you use as a topper for Klasse SG (non-garaged red vehicle)? Why?

    1st time SMR

    I picked up SMR at Pep Boys to use on my wife's '96 Pacific Green Metallic Taurus. It is parked outside 24x7x365 and although I've tried to keep up with it, we purchased it used in '99 and it has the usual car-wash brush swirls and paint crud. 3 months or so ago I used Scratch-X on the hood...

    MPPC or PPCL?

    My 8 month old red f150 is finally starting to show signs of needing more than the standard wash, clay, polish, wax. No real swirl problem (although viewed from proper angle and in just the right light very faint swirls can be seen) but mostly things like stubborn water spots and embedded road...

    Black Jack Black Again

    Has anyone tried this stuff? I just used it for the first time on the black plastic bed rail covers on my F150 and also on the black, hard rubber window molding on the wife's Taurus and my first impression is a good one :up . The molding on the wife's car was badly weather worn with...

    tiny blackheads

    On the hood of my bright red truck I've noticed two or three tiny spots that look like minute blackheads. I've clayed and polished a couple of times already and never noticed them before. They seem to be in the paint and thus do not come off with the clay bar. What are these things and what...

    Clay bar-Does it remove wax or sealer?

    Another Autopian newbie question here. Does claying remove the topcoat carnuba protection? What about Klasse AIO or SG...does the clay remove them as well?

    mini orbital at Top of the Line

    Has anyone seen or used the mini orbital polisher that is being advertised here in the pop ups? I checked it out and it sounds good and the price is certainly right. I've been using a Sears 9" orbital for years and while it serves my purpose, I always thought that something a little smaller...

    Mothers 3 phase and Reflections

    I've pretty much been a Meguiars user for years but have heard lots of good reports about the new Reflections product and want to give it a try. I generally like to stick with things that are available locally. Is Reflections a polymer type product like Klasse or Zaino or is it a polish (like...

    car wax stain on upholstery

    In my efforts to fully detail my 2001 F150 I ended up making a bit of a mess. While waxing the door jambs and rocker panel I spilled some liquid wax (found a use for the small bottle of Mothers Cleaner Wax that comes in the clay bar kit) on the drivers seat....and didn't know it until after it...

    cover recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a cover to be used outdoors on a 2001 F150 Supercab (not supercrew)? Also, maybe a source from where to purchase? One note...the truck has a bumper guard (SmittyBilt Bumper Thumper) that extends out past the fron bumper a foot or so. Thanks!

    Confused re: foam pad vs. cotton terry

    I've read so many different detailing posts, reviews, tutorials etc. over these last few months that I don't know whether I'm coming or going:nixweiss . Can someone clear this up for me? polishing with Meguiars #7 - I've been using super soft, 100% cotton terry towels (or bonnets when I use...

    clay bar everyday?

    I managed to get home a couple of hours early Friday afternoon before I had to be at my son's little league game so I gave the truck a quick wash and fresh coat of #26 wax...looked fantastic! The very next morning I ran my hand across the hood only to feel a million tiiny bumps....tree...

    #7 polish with wax

    I'd like to get opinions on something I've done more than a few times without any problems, but as of late, have shyed away from feeling something wasn't right. I was shown this by a guy who regularly detailed a collection of Ferraris, Jags and Bentleys. The only difference is where he was...
