Hey guys. I had opti-coated my car a while back and i've been very happy with the protection. The problem is that my water here is town water and is the WORST possible water one could have. If I wash and try to dry the car, before I can get over the whole car it's left spots. Especially on the...

I know nothing will really bonds to this stuff. I have opti-coat on my car now. I was just thinking since the Werkstatt is an acrylic, maybe it would stick better to it? Not that I don't love the look of the opti-coat on my car, I just wondered... hard to beat the look of AJT :up

Hey all... I bought some of this stuff about a week ago. I like it, very easy to use and the beading is nice... small beads and seems to come off during driving pretty well. My question is, can this be applied over any previous LSP or is it pretty much a sealant and can't be applied over wax...

I don't know what it is about these, but i'm cleaning up my Aunt's car for her. It has literally taken me 2 hours to do ONE wheel, i'm just using turtle wax on them with a MF towel and my finger... which feels like the nail is ready to come off... I just have to rub and rub the area to get all...

Ok, I can deal with spots after rain, my car stays sealed... or so I thought. I added a third layer of blackfire tonight... and what do you know? Water spots all over the hood. No big deal... the PC and the blackfire will take care of it right? WRONG! There's no cleaners in the blackfire...

You always hear people say that this wax or sealant looks good on this color or that. I just don't think I believe that anymore. I feel that if you like a certain product because it has a wet look, durable shine or whatever, but either way as has been said many times... it's all in the prep...

As anyone who uses or has used the 105 and actually many other products knows...DG105 just soaks right into the paint when applied. The instructions say to let it dry to a haze, but you can't dry what you can't see. Why does it soak into the paint the way it does? More importantly... aside from...

I saw a few things on my car last night I wasn't really happy with... VERY minor surface scratches that I think I missed when I went over it with the super finish. I also dug up an old thread in which I had laid down 3 coats of Duragloss 105 onto my old Evo... it looked just fantastic AND...

I thought I had asked this question on here once... but I couldn't find the thread lol I guess I didn't. Anyway, I bought some Meg's Gold Class car wash the other day, but I got to wondering... is there something else I should be using that is more gentle or is this ok? I'm using grout sponges...

I really do love rain-x, but i'm just wondering if there is something that lasts longer and/or is slicker than it?

I've been detailing for the last 5-7 years and I remember I thought that I could get any scratch out (as long as it wasn't down to the primer and while i've been surprised at some of the ones that I have gotten out...i've come to the realization that not all of them are going to come out...

Just wanted to get some opinions

Just wondering where you all order all your stuff from. I only need a few things here and there, but shipping costs are just ridiculous for guys like me... if I made lots of money detailing I wouldn't care but man... terrible. I do get stuff from ebay here and there, but they don't always...

(This is copied and pasted from a thread I started on the 370z forums... I know most of you here know much more than I so just ignore most of the comments) Well, as the thread says, this is a correction of my Fiancee's MS3... she, like I... had an Evo and went to the MS3 to have more room as...

I have mine set currently about 5 with an orange pad and Menzerna's powergloss. It doesn't seem to cut very fast though... am I better off to go to 6 and not apply as much pressure or is there another method that you all use?

Hey all, this is the first time i've used Collinite products.. I bought the 915 as a durable topper to go over my already durable FK 1000p. I've put 3 layers of the FK on my car... I just enjoy applying wax, so I just keep sealing lol. Anyway my questions are... how long typically should...

I'm just wondering if anything out there is as hard as Finish Kare's paste wax? Collinite perhaps?

I was washing my car today .. I have just bought some grout sponges (which worked great for me and didn't leave any marring) but it's DEFINITELY not abrasive because it didn't get some tar off of the bumper area. Do I want to use bug and tar remover and strip the wax (FK1000) On a side note...

I was on the 370z site and there are always guys pushing their products on every site which I understand... even if it is with mostly beginners they always promote their product as the end all be all. So Adam's was having a Father's Day sale 15% off... I wanted to get a drying towel and...

Once I finish washing my car or a car for someone that i'm detailing, I always use the standard chamois... now I know that the WW towel is the new thing, and i've been close to buying one along with a Shmitt, but 11.99 for shipping turns me right off... crazy. Anyway... I fill up a big...
