So, I thought I found a good mitt at AutoZone the other day. The MF "dreads" look and feel exactly like the lime green mitt I've bought a few times from The Rag Co. In fact, the dreads are the same (got all nerdy with a loupe). But that's where the similarities end. After taking the mitt...

Due to initial shipping, humidity (my guess), and me jostling the contents in order to decant a few ounces for my experiments, my Natty's was looking a bit nappy. It had become too grainy for use. Here's what it looked like after scooping it out and putting it in a jar. Here, it's beginning...

Nothing speaks higher for a product than buying the big size. What do you like so much that you bought the gallon size? Re-purchased the gallon size? I'd like gallons of dressing, WW, and QD, just can't hone in. My gallon purchases are: Poorboy's Spray & Wipe (with re-purchase) Meg's D120...

I have two separate questions relating to foam pads deforming. These two questions are unrelated, I believe. First up is a permanently deformed orange 4" LC CSS pad. Look at the pad on the left, "A", compared to the normal-looking "B" pad. Pad "A" is obviously sunken and concaved, and it's...

Our outside car after ONE night, and 2 methods of correction Our poor SUV just gets hammered this time of year. The dew from the previous night drips off the leaves onto the car. Those leaves, of course, contain bird poo, bug poo, pollen, pollution, and sap. In March we have yellow cars, due to...

I saw Griots clay at Advance Auto. At $20, and if it's good, I'm thinking its silly to buy the Meg's kit at $20 and end up with less clay, a towel for jambs, and detailer that I don't use.

The bags on my Kawasaki Concours were in need of a light polish. These bags are out in the wind and take a lot of bugs as well as boot scrapes. I thought the size of these bags would make nice panels to do a long term LSP test, regardless of them being for a motorcycle, so here we go. I'm...

I like mixing products to (supposedly) get the best attributes from each. For example, the popular Spray & Gloss with Spray & Wipe. Here's a few I do: Spray & Wipe with ONR detail strength, 1:1. (Increases the cleaning power of ONR while adding some shine. Good clay lube, makes the S&W a bit...

Hi all. Well I was surprised to see Billy Jack's review of 3D Trim Care Protectant because it reminded me that I too am a bit late with the Holiday Giveaway review. As coincidence would have it, I also received 3D Trim Care Protectant, so we'll have two reviews in one day of the same product...

I love QD's, almost as much as waxes. I use detailers for three distinct purposes. Category explanation & use 1. Workhorse: Cleaning, Clay Lube, product and poop removal, little or no stuff-left-behind. 2. Do-It-All: Quick shine enhancer, drying aid, spit shine, minor cleaning. 3. Pop Diva...

I'm having a hard time finding a 16x16 with a silk border that has the same plush nap on both sides. Perhaps many of them meet this criteria, but from the photos and descriptions, I sometimes can't tell. Of course, I'd accept borderless, but I want to keep them under $5 each.

PB QD+ looks amazing. It ain't the easiest QD to use, and it's not the cheapest, but what a shine! Skip your next beauty wax and try this instead: Use decent amounts of QD+ on the paint and a fluffy MFT. "Smear" that in for a few passes on a quarter of a panel at a time. Follow up with a dry...

I have this small tear in my seat. This surface is simulated leather, because I think only the seating surfaces are real leather. The tear doesn't bother me as much as the thought that I'm going to catch it with something and make it worse. Anyone have experience with this? I'm not looking for a...

This is a shout out recommendation and mini-review for Sonus SFX-4 Paint Sealant. B) Sonus SFX-4 Paint Sealant, 8 oz. with Polycharger I am a big fan of waxes. I like they way they look and I enjoy applying them - to a certain extent. If you're like me and like the "deep wet look" as opposed to...

I'll take the 8 ounce! BLACKFIRE Total Trim & Tire Sealant

Agreed, but I'll reach for a "bulk" lower tier brand any day if it looks 95% as good but lasts 250% longer. Here's proof....

The waxes I use are all intended for well maintained cars, and do no filling to speak of. While my cars are swirl-free, one of them shows love marks (towel marks) all too easily. I've decided to stop chasing these ghosts and just cheat a bit. This car is dark blue and marks up much easier than...

To accompany the recent favorite rinseless product post, I'd like to ask what your favorite Waterless Wash product is. No poll, just want to know what you think, what you've tried and settled on. :autopia:
