    Street Dreams: Maserati MC12 135 pics + Videos

    One thing I've noticed over the years is that polymer waxes tend to not 'haze' like carnauba based waxes. Seems that you have to buff alittle more on the carnauba based, anyone agree with this?

    Using a orbital buffer 101:

    I want to know your method of applying both Polish and Wax using an orbital buffer. I received my Porter Cable and had an opportunity to speak with a professional detailer that was here in the US at Griots Garage factory, he's from Toronto and a big purchaser of Griots products, so they flew...

    Can I use an ELU as a polisher?

    I bought a car duster about 4 months ago, recently washed it with some Chamois soap. I noticed that they sprayed it during manufacturing with some kind of light oil (could smell it..probably to pick up the dust better)..confirmed this when I washed it (floating oil)...now that its dry, what...

    Carnauba vs Polymer:"German paints hate Polymer"

    Thought I'd bring this up for discussion (Not arguement). I have a BMW so I thought this to be interesting. Its from Car care online, note bold sections: Of course all material is subjective to sales by both Carnauba and Polymer wax businesses. <em class='bbc'> Carnauba wax is the protective...

    Detailed: Bentley GT

    Do you use it? I bought one for grins. Its okay, however, when that puppy dried out, it was impossible to use. I ended up having to soak it, then squeeze it out. Should one prevent it from drying all the way out? I have a cleaner that came with it too, works very well cleaning it.

    I've been using this method for years now, Vinegar, water, and newspaper. Sounds silly doesn't it? However, the carbon in the news print will make your windows crystal clear...anyone else do this?
