I clean my bike in the following manner........spray down all greasy parts of the bike with a cleaning solution that loosens grease, then after letting...

    Zymol ?

    Let me preface this before i ask the question by saying i don't want to know about products that cannot be found at the local AutoZone Pep Boys or Kragen. I was thinking of trying Zymol wax because it's available everywhere, but it's fairly expensive and i'd rather not waste any more $ than...

    UQD observation

    when i first used it a few weeks ago i posted here about how awesome it is. I still feel that way, but for a while there i wasn't sure. I wonder if anyone else has noticed what i did. I tried It on my car the day i got it but my car was sizzling in the sun. I figured i'd try it anyways because...

    Cleaning solution that is least corrosive?

    I'm not sure corrosive is the word i am looking for. But i have a motorcycle that has a black satin textured finish on the engine. I have noticed that over time the finish seems to have become less receptive to dressings. I've used back to black on it and another silicone spray especially for...

    Man o man.....

    ....were you people ever right about megs ultimate QD ! remember my raves about long haul? Well, i still insist the shine it put on my car is one that i haven't seen since it was new.

    long haul truck gloss......wax"

    I know you all say it's QD, but do you really know that? As much as i love this stuff i have to say that it applys and comes and feels like the mothers FX spray wax i have. It has the same difference in application and removal that i see between FX spray and QD. QD goes on and comes right off...

    cheapest clay bar?

    I'm really tierd of paying $15-17 or a piece of clay that comes with other products i don't need. I have detailer and such to use with it. I gotta think a piece of clay smaller than a bar of soap cannot cost nearly as much to manufactur as it would seem judging by the price. So theres got to be...

    Is long haul QD out of production?

    Sorry to start a post just to ask this, but i asked in another thread and it was never answered. But i could have sworn i read something about this a while back, and i need to know if it's true so that i can buy out the local big lots before it's gone. And if so, how long can i expect a bottle...

    Sometimes it's easier to evaluate when you aren't looking !

    I rarely post here. I'm not as into detailing as most people here. But i do like products that work well, and therefore now and then i'll pop in to ask a question. Well, today i thought i'd just mention something i noticed when washing my accord. I bought some of that Long haul detailer at pic...

    How can i protect new paint from birds/removing water spots

    The first question has to do with my newly painted trunk lid that was keyed on my new accord. It was painted but they didn't get the scratch fully out and the paint shrunk into the mark and it showed after a week. So they re-painted it today. But during the 1st paint job i found that a bird...

Anyway, a couple weeks ago someone keyed the trunk lid on my 2 month old Accord coupe in graphite pearl. i was lucky enough to have a really good shop nearby that did a great job painting it to look exactly as it did. But today...

    Mquiers leather cleaner=Armorall

Same milky white look to the liquid, leaves a super shiny slick squeaky finish, smears like grease if you get it on plastic...

    Glass repair for very small chips?

    A rock hit my windshield and put a very small chip in it. Not a crack, just a chip about the size of a couple pinheads. Not a big deal, but enough to notice in the right light. And being a brand new accord it bothers me just enough to want to fix it at least to the point where it's far less...
