I've tried using FK425 for over a year now, I just don't get it. Everyone raves about how fantastic of a QD it is. I just don't see it. --Slickness - Yeah, its slick, but Optimum is slicker --Cleaning Ability - I feel its mid pack, if I need a better cleaner, ONR is it --Looks - This is...

As popular as ONR is, I'd like to hear what unconventional things you might use ONR for. Personally I find its a great window cleaner. I use my used/wet drying towel to wipe down interior windows. I've even washed my house windows with it. My exterior windows hadn't been washed in... gasp...

So I've always wanted to take a Cayman S out for a spin. They have dropped to some pretty affordable levels now and I noticed my local Jag dealership had one. From the posted carfax I noticed it had been involved in a front end collision, but of course, no details as to the damage. I setup...

Well, I never thought I'd be posting up a totaled car thread, but it happened to me. I was going home, normal traffic. Slowing down at a very leisurely pace when I noticed an SUV barreling towards me. I watched the whole thing happen. I'm fine, stiff and sore but sad that a car I put so much...

Bird poo does not destroy your car's paint... at least not by itself — Autoblog Interesting findings.

Lately I've noticed an increasing trend in single speed drivers in my area. These (mostly minivan and SUV) drivers seem to go one speed everywhere. Usually it is around 43 mph. It doesn't matter if its a rural road, a neighborhood street, school zone or even PARKING LOT.:nervous2: While its...

Probably the first thing many of you are thinking is why is someone posting a brake pad review in the detailing product section of a detailing forum. Allow me to explain. Since I started driving I have dreaded brake dust. I have had many cars over the years and all of them had brake dust...

Nice deal at full price, but at 7.50 it's smokin.

What do you guys are fair prices for selling detailing products? I've seen lots of stuff priced at like 80-120% of current prices from vendors, which sits and rots with the owner bumping and wondering why his stuff hasn't sold. I've also seen stuff posted at fire sale prices and stuff gone in...

What are some readily available products that have been forgotten? I feel like there are plenty of OTC products that still provide a good punch but get no love because of all the new releases from our favorite vendors. What's a product you really like that gets very little action on the...

I gotta say I'm getting tired of cleaning applicator pads. Waxes are a breeze but more durable sealants make it a struggle that I'm starting to think is not worth my time. Wally World has applicators for 2/$1.67 for microfiber, but I'd like to find something that I'd feel less guilty about...

I have two cars that are parked outdoors 24x7. As much as they need good paint protection, they need clean paint. I have noticed that claying, while getting the surface smooth, does not clean the paint completely. If I continued to apply a wax or sealant on top of this grime, the surface would...

I'm working on an experiment and ran into a strange issue. Has anyone used Z2 on single stage paint? I polished the surface with UNO/P085RD until it was as glossy as could be, dawn washed it afterwards. When applying Z2 I am getting significant paint transfer to my applicator. I get no paint...

I'm looking for a foaming sprayer, something similar to this: 48Oz Poly Sprayer/Foamer 1054 By Chapin Mfg Looking to use this with APC and car wash soap. I'd like something that foams well and is durable.

This looks very interesting! Supposedly its going to be distributed in Europe only and $200+ if the rumors are true....

I'm all about reducing the time it takes to do certain steps in the detailing process. There are things I love doing like cleaning leather or putting on the LSP, and things I dread like cleaning tar out of wheel wells or cleaning really dirty windows. Up there with cleaning wheel wells is...

I'm starting to pare down my LSP collection, and I started to think of good reasons to get ride of quite a few of them. I think my #1 dislike is LSPs that look great after application and then fall on their face after a rain or wash. Just curious what you guys are seeing. The worst: FMJ and...
