    Quick SG ?

    I just got my Klasse SG and when I went to use it, it was extremely watery. Literally water consistency. Is this normal? I dont ever remember reading about this. Its also a bit of a pain to get out of the container without spilling. I only used some on a test panel, just in case there is...

    Optimum Compound

    I wanna know what you guys think of Optimum compound. I did a search and didn't find a lot on it. What should it be used for? How does it work? Is it worth getting? I have SSR2.5 and wouldn't mind something a little more aggressive to have on hand. Thanks

    Best all around QD?

    I know this is a loaded question (and its probably a thread already done, but I didn't find it), but just wondering what you guys think of some qds. I am almost out of my Mothers Showtime and was wondering if there are any better qds. I will use it on applying and removing waxes, polishes, and...

    RainX on paint?

    I was wondering what RainX would do on paint. Mainly as a last step after wax (kinda like QD), maybe for added protection (especially against water spots). Would this work or would it remove the wax or just not work?

    Meguiars Soft Wash gel review

    I bought this thinking it would be good because it was thick and said it gently suds away dirt and grime. Well after using this twice I have to say it is horrible! This is by far the worst sudding car wash I have ever used and I usually buy the cheapest car wash. After two washes I have used...

    To start I have a 97 trans am with black accents (with the most swirls, but not too bad) the rest of the car is a mystic teal metalic (moderate swirls from the body shop). Half of the paint is new, so I wont be doing all this for another couple of weeks. I also have black wheels. And there is...

    My 97 Trans Am back from body shop

    I finally got my car back and the paint and hood look great (its been gone for almost 2 months). They (Vornhagen's of Brentwood, CA) did a great job. The only thing I was disapointed with was the detailing job, it was crap! There is already swirls in the paint! And they left my hood off for...

    Does clay take off wax?

    Like the title says, does clay take off wax or any other protectant? I wanna clay my dads car, but he wont let me because he has a touch of class and he's affraid that it will take it off. Isn't that touch of class stuff just a sealant like any other just one that costs a grand and has a...

    01 GTP w/ghost flames

    I did a full detail job on a 01 Grand Prix GTP black with ghost flames today. The car was obviously neglected for a long time and there was massive swirling. I cleaned the engine, interior, polish, seal, wax. I got this customer on a online car club, she is the president of the club ;)...

    WD40 on powder coating?

    A friend of mine said that wd40 is good for powder coating. He used to work for a custom truck shop and thats what they used on all the powder coating. To me it seems like that would be bad for it, but I dont know because they have been using it on they're show truck for a year and that sits...

    How do you get rubber off paint?

    I have a friend that did a few donuts in his new lifted truck and now of course there is rubber all over his paint, wheel wells, and suspension. Well, how do you get off this rubber without screwing up the paint? So far all I could figure out is fingernails, which could harm the paint and also...

    Swirls removal order and products ???

    I want to get rid of a lot of swirls in a black paint job. I was wondering what products I need and what order to use them. I have a pc and all 5 propel pads coming. I was thinking PB SSR2.5 then Klasse AIO then P21s tech wax (my hybrid). Does that sound like all I need? And is that the...

    Got my PC today, here's my first test!

    So I finally picked up my PC 7336SP and couldn't wait for ordering pads so I just used the one it came with. I used Turtle Wax 2001 polish (only stuff I have) and started going at it to see my results. Oh ya, the car was my dad's 77 camaro LT that has been sitting in our garage for 3 years...

    E1 Arometrics Air fresheners?

    I did a search and came up with nothing. I was wondering if anyone has used these. Do they work good and smell good? I have yet to find a AF that smells good, lasts a long time and that isn't too strong. Any other suggestions? Thanks
