I thought I might run this by some of you guys and get your automotive thoughts and opinions. 1995 Jeep Wrangler and I just needed to put a new battery in. The battery was getting old (I believe it was over 10 years old). When I went to replace it the negative clamp that goes on the terminal...

Has anybody used or heard any reviews on filtermags? They are high powered magnets that attach to the transmission oil pan or around your oil filter to help keep small metal particles from getting back into the circulation and damaging engine parts. They seem like a good idea as far as an aid...

Where do you guys buy your paper for wet-sanding? I can find the 1500 grit in Autozone, Advance auto etc..., but nothing finer than 1500 grit. I know it may not be used often, but when you do use it where do you get your sand paper at? Thanks.

I am pretty squared away on my polishes and LSP, but I was curious about adding an AIO to my routine. In a nutshell, I usually wash, clay, polish (using SSR 1 & 2.5) and then do my LSP. My questions are: 1.) Should I add an AIO type of product? Since I polish all the blemishes/swirls out...

Just curious as to what people prefer, Edge 2000 waffle or Edge 2000 Regular? (and also why) Not worried about which color just curious if the waffle style is preferred or not. I saw a few posts in some past threads but they seemed to be when the pads first came out and now that the waffle has...

I was curious as to whether Poorboys Wheel Sealant is affected by using the Black Wheel ShMitt. Does washing with the ScMitt affect the sealant? What about using wheel cleaners such as Eagle wheel cleaner? I usually spray some on and clean with a sponge but I am looking at getting the black...

hey all, I have an issue with my PC. It doesn't seem to be spinning very much. When I polish (using SSR1 or 2 along with Edge regular blue and green and also with Edge 2000 blue and green pads) I notice that it seems to be wobbling (for lack of better word) fine since the counterweight is...

hey guys, I was curious to know if there is much of a difference between ZFX and Z1 in terms of look and durability? Obviously I know that ZFX allows you to layer Zaino faster due to increased cure times etc... But I wanted to know if I used ZFX correctly would it look better or last longer...

The day after I washed my car, it was very hard to start. It was a chilly day, but not real cold. It only has about 13,000 miles on it and has run perfect since day 1 and has had regular maintenance, garaged, same brand and octane gas, etc... I really had to pump the gas and on about the 3rd...

I have read how some people will trace around their pads, or measure/mark their pads to get them exactly centered on the PC. It seems like that is a bit much. I was just wondering if it is ok to simply "eyeball" the centration of pads on the PC? I realize that if they are grossly off-center...

I have heard contradicting ideas, so I was hoping to get some answers.... Does a Carnauba topper (ie S100 or Natty's) over a sealant (in my case Zaino) significantly extend the durability/longevity of the sealant? In my way of thinking, the wax topper would protect the sealant from typical...

I am not sure how to best explain this but here goes... My vinyl dash is black with midnight blue accents. My glove box which is typical lightly textured plastic (I think) is also midnight blue. I noticed today that it has a few areas on it that has a distinct reddish/pink color to it...

Is it wise to use a 6 inch (velcro) backing plate with a 6 inch pad? I have heard some people worry about marring the paint with the backing plate since there is not much pad overlap, but wasn't sure if that was a real concern. Thanks for the tips!

What Edge DA pads (not the new type of Edge pads) would be the best pad to use for SSR1 and 2? Yellow? Green? (I figure the Blue one would not be enough) Mostly would be used for mild swirls etc, nothing too marred up. Thanks!

I am thinking about getting a PC. I mainly want it for light polishing/swirl removal and some waxing. I was just wanting to know what "extras" I should buy? Other than what it comes with, what other pads, counterweights, and accessories should I buy? Keep in mind I am only using it for...

What are people's thoughts on Natty's as opposed to S100? They often seem to get similar comparisons and usages. Any differences in the look, ease of use, durability, etc of these two? Thanks!

Just looking for a compare/contrast thread with Zaino and EX-P. Let's assume you did your typical prep work and it was a dark gray or black car. I was wanting to know the good and bad qualities for each of these as far as appearance, wetness/gloss, ease of use (application and buffing), how it...

I have read where some people dilute their PB Natural Look dressing (mostly heard 4:1) and was curious if that is something commonly done. I use it on my dash and interior trim and do not dilute it (and have not had any real problems), but was just curious if I would get the same good results...

Kind of as an aside to my last post (regarding a topper to sealants)... 1.) I am curious to know if it is possible to remove just the wax topper and not hurt the sealant underneath in order to add more sealant? 2.)As it is right now, I like being able to apply more layers of Zaino if desired...

Just looking for some ideas as to what wax over Zaino will give the wettest, deepest sheen? I really like Zaino, but sometimes (as others have commented) it has a slightly sterile look to it. I just want to put a wax topper on it to see for myself in person if it really kicks it up a notch...
