    KSG hiding swirls... no way....

    Sometimes some of the greatest discoveries are by accident. Since I've been doing some (mechanical) work on my older S4, I decided it would be fun to do some comparison tests as the car was going to be parked for a while. The paint is in pretty poor shape, it has moderate swirling and hasn't...

    Durable AIO 4-way test

    So in another thread I had posted about reconsidering my approach to the standard practice of using an LSP every few months followed by claying and polishing twice a year.

    AIOs - Time to rethink?

    For ages, the AIO has been the redheaded stepchild in the autopians arsenal. They compromised on correction, looks and durability. I think my views are changing. I'm starting to question my routine on the two cars we have parked outside. I think I'm wasting my time polishing, claying and then...

    Water spots - a sealant only phenomenon?

    Are water spots a sealant only phenomenon? I have had some issues with a particular sealant, and I have read others with similar issues with a variety of sealants, however I can't seem to recall anyone having issues with carnaubas. The fact that unprotected cars don't get water spots has me...

    Is Poorboy's World Trim Restorer and Chemical Guys Extreme V.R.P the same thing (functionally)? I know the two lines alter ingredients enough to SAY they are different, but are these two the same thing?
