I am not happy. I walk into the garage this morning to find that a bike and small wooden cabinent placed along the side of garage wall, fell onto the hood and front bumper of the car. Damage = 5-6 inch vertical scratches, from top of front bumper to the bottom. The scratches dont seem too...

So: Brand new car (black paint), ready for its first ever wash. I've come to accept the fact that the paint will probably never be this pristine again, no matter what. Still, that wont stop me from washing it with the best equipment available on the maket. Right now, I'm just looking for...

Trying to determine whether I should garage the car for a few days and apply a few more layers (other than the single layer I currently have)? Priority is the shine. However, I barely notice a difference between the shine of Klasse AIO and the Klasse SG. Not sure if its worth my time to apply...

Do a search on Klasse SG, and all you get are posts dealing with difficulty of application. Specifically, the buffing off of the SG is what gets most people. Various methods are in use to combat this process. However, in my case, I can say the SG is the damn near easiest product I've ever...

hey all, Ive used AIO on my black paint before....LOOKED GREAT! However, Im really interested in trying the Sealant Glaze (SG). Ive been doing some research on the SG. I've read some opinions where people complain that the SG shine is too "sterile". I have no idea what this means. Could...

my friends, Got the black car. Paint on this thing is SO soft, if you breath on it, it'll cause light swirls/microscopic scratches. I've been getting into the habit of applying some AIO to the trouble areas after every wash (average once a month). The AIO takes away ALL of those minor...

Hi, Well, two weeks ago, I noticed my rear tire was almost flat. I didnt want to drive to the gas station like that, in fear of doing some damage to the wheel. I got hold of one of those cans that has an alcohol-like fluid, which is pumped into the tire. It is to be used in emergency...

Hi, I purchased a Vac N' Blo from Amazon.com bout a month ago. Well, they shipped it to me without some of the attachments (stupid them). Anyways, when I put the hose on to use it as a vacuum, the other side still blows out a whole lot of air. I'm thinking somethings wrong. Is that...

hi everyone, i'm looking for a somewhat abrasive compound. the purpose of it will be to spot wipe away some light scratches and imperfections in the paint. for example. everytime i get out of my car, if i don't pay attention, the heel of my shoe rubs against my rocker panel (body piece...

No matter how many posts or comments people made about the positives of using a clay bar, I always stayed away from it. Why you ask? Well, its because I have been so darn afraid of messing up my paint. I mean, the idea of rubbing a clay bar against my black paint seems like I'm just ASKING...

hi all, well, i've been reading in many posts and other various websites that when applying a paint cleaner (like Pinnalce Paintwork Cleaner or Meguiars #9), its preferable to use a Terry cloth. Yet, I JUST read somewhere within the last few days that "if your car has a clearcoat, use Foam...

hi everyone, Ok, got a bunch of foam applicator pads. Some have been used to apply wax, others been used to apply paint cleaners. need to wash these things the "right" way. what do you all recommend.. thanks Shant

hi, well, due to some paint chips I have on my black car, someone reffered me to Turtle Wax's Black Wax (w/chipstick) to "hide" the chips. the wax is supposed to mask the chip by darkening it with the wax. anyways, I ordered a bottle and it just arrived. before I apply it, I wanted to...

i guess this board is the best place to ask can anyone recommend a place I can take my 02 porsche for a top-notch hand wax, in the LA area? (also, what places i should stay away from) thanks

the detail "kit" is on order. of course, I will be receiving the Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion (PPCL). my question, anyone used it, and if so, what does this do to my paint? I heard its not very abrahsive...will it "remove" some very light scratched that I have? I will apply the...

Hi all, first post, (i actually registered specifically for this one question) OK, got a black 02 porsche this past March. washed it over a dozen times, and now swirls galore. Now, my local detailer (a pretty good one) is saying i should i get a nice coat of wax on it. they could do it...
