I've had a bottle of APC+ for a while now, in a 4:1 dilution, which I think I'll dilute down more, I don't use the 4:1 ratio. I wanted to use the stuff to spray down my seats and scrub them to clean them up. The bottle recommends 20:1 dilutions, will this be safe? I have a nice set of Recaro...

Does anyone know of a good sturdy spray bottle that has measuring marks on the side? I have a few, that I got from Home Depot.. and after not using them for a while I picked up one that had a 4:1 dilution of APC+ in it and turned the head of the sprayer to open and the nozzle fell apart. I...

Does anyone here think there would be any adverse effects on using the Sonus acrylic spritz on layers of Zaino as a QD/topper? Just throwing new ideas around.

What happened to this stuff? The purple paste/liquid that smells like grapes? I haven't found it in the stores since NXT appeared? Mike? Anyone?

Well Here's my car after it's first "major" cleaning. It still needs interior work, and I couldnt' clean the calipers or wheel wells (no jack low enough to get under car). Enjoy... Yeah yeah, I know the pics aren't the best.. I know the car isn't as pristine as it...

Has anyone else bought one of these? It's supposed to adjust somehow, but I can't figure out how... :o

Welp, I got my Tropi-Care kit today in the mail, thanks to JayC for making the post that seems to have disappeared. I got a 4oz bottle of the Polish, it's pink and smells sort of like Cherries. I also got a small bottle of the Carwash, it may only be good for one wash, it's not a lot...

I've had some moosewax sitting around for a good 6 months or so. I was shaking up all my bottles to make sure nothing separated (Vanilla MOose is REALLY apparent when it does).. but I noticed my MooseWax has some chunks in it? They seem .. sort of firm.. not at all like soft carnauba would...

Sorry if this has already been covered. I've decided to pick up some NXT wash for washing my families vechiles. I'm unclear as to wether NXT leaves anything behind on the finish that might prevent Zaino or Wolfgangs from properly bonding to the paint? I'm not much of a carnuaba user, so I'm...

I just placed a (small) autopia order, and ordered up a few bottles of 1z Perls Shampoo. I read some fantastic raves about it from macgirl and others, along with something I'm curious of. The description says it leaves a 'layer of protection' behind, would that be in the form of a carnuaba...

My vehicle (VW GTI 337) has factory red painted calipers. Unfortunately, the calipers look very dull from a years worth of brake dust on them. Is there a tool I can use to scrub them clean? It seems rather silly to take each wheel off (which I do not have the ability to do in my driveway with...

I remember, oh maybe a year ago or more there were hints around the forum that Zaino was going to release some sort of polishing compound to go with their line of products. I can't recall what the name was, but I checked their page and don't see anything new. Any word on this as of late...

Forgive me for asking, I've been out of the loop for ages. I'm about out of my P21s gel and P21s regular strength. I noticed EO has a new A2Z formula in a orange bottle. I remember the old EO formula was acidic, and this one makes no mention of it. How does this compare to P21s? If it's...

A couple weeks ago I drove to houston and back. My car looked like it had a mustache and beard by the time I got back. I sprayed the car down at a power wash (yeah yeah I know) but most of the stuff Didn't come off, so I went home and got out the bucket and mitts. I got all of the bug...

Anyone ever heard of or used this? I just saw a commercial for it on TNN inbetween the Powerblock Hour. http://www.homemadesimple.com/mrcleanautodry/index.shtml Looks interesting enough, supposedly the soap removes some of the minerals from water that cause spotting/deposits. They even...

I'm still a little weary of this product. But it seemed to do it's job just fine tonight. I had about a weeks worth of desert dust and what have you on my car, nothing radical. No rain or caked on goop really. As per the instructions, I used 1 cap full per 2 quarts, since I used about...

:( <-- pretty much how I feel every time the sun hits my speedometer gauge plastic. I have been VERY careful in wiping down the soft plastic on my gauge cluster, but it seems no matter what I do, I'm adding scratches. I'm using a Pakshak MF towel, that is always washed in Liquid Detergent...

Edit: I changed the topic title, but apparently it doesn't show up on the page or something. Anyway, i decided the alkalinity in APC+ probably isn't good for wheels.. so I'll stick with P21s. On the other hand: What do you all use to clean your calipers when your wheels are on? I can't...

Well, I bought 2 aquapel kits off eBay just now, total price shipped 12.35. I have no idea if that's a good deal or not considering I can't find any place on the internet to order it. Anyway, I'll give it a go when I get it.
