I see the Blackfire Wet Ice fire combo discussed favorably quite often. Is the look that different than anything else? Are there similar Meguiars products that would give the same results? If so, Which ones? Ultimate wax then a carnauba topper

Has anyone used the Chemical Guys El Gordo towels ? If so how do you like them? I have a few here and they seem pretty good, I think they are close to the Cobra Jr. ones. I am trying to up date my microfiber collection with out breaking the bank.

This is my first review. I picked up the Pinnacle Waterless Wash Concentrate kit. It comes with 6 Cobra jr. towels and a spray bottle. The concentrate has 1 oz. marks on the side and the spray bottle has measurements on the side every 4 ounces. It holds 33oz. enough for one 32:1 mixture. The...

Hey everyone, I just started using a rinse-less wash. I want to try a waterless wash soon. I usually wash every week or ten days for a car that sits out 24/7. My car is red, I am looking at the new Blackfire 48:1 concentrate and the Pinnacle 32:1 with carnauba. Which would you suggest or are...

Many times the lower panels are the dirty ones. Now that pollen is in the air and stuff is falling from the trees that's not the case. The top of my car is a mess, I have to go to the quarter wash before I wash it.

How hard is Ford paint (tri coat) ? I looked at my paint and noticed a few swirls. I thought I was being careful during washing. I always do a hand wash. I have to step up my process.

My car sits out 24/7. It's a new Focus and has a lot of black trim around the windows and black trim on the bumper. What is a good OTC product I can use?

Hey all, I am thinking of getting a Ford with Ruby Red metallic. I think that's the name. It looks good in pictures, I have yet to see it in person. How is the Ford Paint in Red as far as durability, looks etc. long term? I am also looking at white which should be easier to care for.

In terms of abrasiveness how would you rate these products? Most to least. Thanks A. Megs Ult. compound B. Megs Ult. Polish C. Adams Swirl Haze remover D. Adams Revive polish

I don't see any reviews here for Meguiars DA power system you use with your drill. There are three pads that you can buy for it. Red which comes with their compound, Yellow which comes with their polish and black which has a small bottle of Ultimate wax. Is it because most folks here already...

I noticed these links for Detailing the Man and health/fitness etc. are gone. There was a long thread on fitness a while ago, when it was here on the forum. I would like to see some of these return. As winter arrives, people are less active and we could help motivate each other? Anyone else?

I picked up the 3M headlight kit and tried it out on my 2001 Pontiac. I did the left side of the light first to see how it worked. I only used the fine, veryfine paper and pad since my lights did not seem too bad. I used the least abrasive pad first. ( I did not use the medium pad) It still...

Would a cordless or regular drill with small pads work for polishing paint in small sections and fixing headlights or is this a very bad idea because it's not orbital in motion? I am thinking a cordless would not have too much power. I don't have access to power where I park.

The headlight lens on my 2001 Pontiac are getting hazed over. I guess it's the UV coating coming off. It's not smooth to the touch. The car is outside 24/7. I sanded a small spot with 1000/1500/then 2000 wet sandpaper. Next I applied scratch-x a few times. I can still see small scratches in the...

It is going to be nice Tuesday. It's winter here so I may not do this again for a while. Which would you use? Meguiars Gold Class or TW Platinum Ultra gloss. The car is a Gold color (GM) .

Where would I get ONR and or QEW Over The Counter? Does anyone sell it in S.E. Pa. ? I always wanted to try it. Would it be possible to make my own using car wash soap and water or would rinsing be a problem ?

It was nice out today and I did a quick wash and then I used Eagle 1 wax as u dry. What other spray waxes out there are like this one? Most spray waxes want you to wait for them to dry.
