    Wally World sheepskin

    Has anyone tried the Detailers Preference sheepskin mitt from WM? It says 100% Genuine Australian merino sheepskin all for $4.98. I tried it and it the car looks better then a sponge wash, and also you can feel the curves and crevices getting into them to wash the nooks better.

    Carnuba over DG

    I've been reading and reading on here about all the different sealants and waxes. I keep seeing nothing comes close to a good carnuba in looks and shine. So after applying DG 105 followed by AW last week I tried putting Mothers CG carnuba over them just on one fender as a test. It seems to...

    Sandpaper on PC??

    Can you use the PC7424 for sanding? The back post on the drivers car door is missing half the paint and it's down to bare metal. It's the part where people push on to shut the doors. The lady that owned it before us wore huge rings on all her fingers and I'm guessing that is what did the...

    OTC non cleaning sealant

    Does anybody know a good sealant to go over the SB polish? Everything I have cleans and brings back some of the swirls that the polish takes out or covers. I'm in the middle of a detail for my neighbor and need to find a topping. Thanks.

    Zaino wash and gloss enhancer

    How long do these products last? The polish and sealant went bad before I could use it all up. While cleaning out my cabinet I found the wash and enhancer in the back, I'm guessing there are about 7 years old and still look good.

    Krackle paint

    Has anyone ever seen Krackle paint on a car before. It's the paint you put on furniture and it cracks to make it look antique. I was driving from a job today and saw an older Chevy pickup that had flat black krackle. At first I thought it was a bad spot in the paint but every square inch was...
