A different and interesting torture test on TW Ceramic Polish & Wax

With the weather turning to crap, I`ve been watching You Tube detailers so I can maybe learn new things, get a refresher on techniques I haven`t used in a while, etc. I searched "Glass Cleaning" and two different You Tubers both recommended the same basic process for glass, using the same...

The Turtle and the Camaro - now with PICS !!!!!!!! I polished out the Camaro last night using the same system I used on my MILs and my brother`s cars. Clean Finish Polishing Compound on a polishing pad on 6 on the pc followed by SNS X 2. I can`t post pics from my phone, so I guess you will...

Saturday, I did an exterior on my brother`s 2012 Civic SI. It is is decent shape, but had its share of moderate/deeper swirls from non-autopian care. I used the same process/products as on my MIL`s Ford Edge: Turtle Wax Clean Finish Polishing Compound, Seal N Shine and Wet N Black Tire Shine...

Yesterday, I detailed my Mother in Law`s 2010 Ford Edge. This car is the definition of neglected as I am the only one to clean it and she only has me do it once (MAYBE twice a year), otherwise it`s untouched - which could be a good thing as there are no swirl-o-matic car washes or hack detailers...

IMO, even though APEX DETAIL says they are neck and neck with each other, I have to give the nod to Turtle Wax because of the "rinse off" ability. To me, this says that the compound is water-based which means any residue left behind is easily removed, minimizing any conflicts with the LSP you`re...

I just bought the Turtle Wax - Dash & Glass after having such good luck with the SNS and the ICE Spray Detailer. I first used it on my rear window (inside) because I wanted to test it on an area where I have a real hard time ... Camaro = small back seat & difficult access to the interior rear...

I find that I get better results from lightly spraying the cleaner (regardless of what cleaner I`m using) directly on the microfiber, rather than directly on the glass...MUCH better results. Has anyone else noticed this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59w-eKzmgw4 I recently watched the above video and was stunned. Could this be the future of Turtle Wax? Last I used the stuff was 30 years ago, when "Hard Shell" meant "Hard to work with for Meh, results." Have times changed! Pan the Organizer did a video with...

Goodbye Mopsy, 14 years was not enough. You stayed longer than Olde English Sheepdogs are supposed to. You gave us unconditional love and affection. You were protective of us and you could be a clown at times. You were gentle with everyone, including those ornery ferrets. I could see the...

Does everyone remember Birdzilla? The mystery bird who left massive poo on the Camaro? Well it struck again, this time on the wife`s car and the neighbor`s car. I finally "caught" him/her on camera ... As you can see, it`s a huge ROBIN, which means methods of "Extreme Prejudice" are out...

I`ve had the HCW on the car about 2 weeks now, with the 2nd application on for about 4 days. My observations so far: For the first few days, the HCW is a dust MAGNET. After about the third day, the dust just seems to "fall off" and is gone. There was also some light smearing from the 2nd...

I went ahead and took advantage of today`s heat wave (48*) and picked up a bottle of Meguiar`s Hybrid Ceramic Wax at Advance Auto ($14.99 + tax with a $5.00 online rebate). The car was in dire need of a good wash since it hasn`t been touched in months and was a bit crusty with salt. Using a...

I started taking CHANTIX and I`m on week 2 of no cigarettes. One of my issues now, is that I can now smell the interior of my car (smells like an ashtray). What is a good way to de-stink my interior without having to resort to shampooing or other "wet" types of cleaning seeing how it`s January...

Already planning for spring, I`ve decided to go for a ceramic coating on my Camaro. Probably Gyeon CanCoat because I`m cheap and broke. But I want to do a complete and total prep before applying the coating: Wash (Meg`s Hyperwash), Physical decon (To be determined), Polish (Poorboy`s SSR1)...

Merry Christmas

I can`t go into detail, but I have an arbitration today regarding my working conditions. Prayers and well-wishes appreciated.

Forgive the dirty car ... I started with RUSTOLEUM Peel Coat. Fortunately it lived up to its name since it didn`t want to properly coat the "plastic chrome" of the taillights. UN-fortunately, I tried a few other things before realizing that KRYLON FUSION paint works great on this stuff, so up...
