    Duragloss #253 discontinued? Carquest thinks so.

    Well after reading about Duragloss #253 tire dressing, I thought I'd visit 2 Carquest stores in search of it. Both I went to said it disappeared from their systems some time ago and is no longer available. I then called 3 more which were a distance from me, none of them had it on the shelf...

    VERY disappointed in first use of the Gilmour Foamaster..

    Received the Foamaster from Amazon the other day and just waiting for a decent day to try it. This is the one with the brass fittings and all. As a guide I found on here, I put just shy of a gallon of water in a clean milk jug, put in 6 oz. of Gold Class, capped it and shook well to mix...

    Pressure washer foam gun at Menards?

    This evening in a quick dash through Menards I saw on clearance some sort of super foam gun for gas pressure washers. It was rated up to 3000psi and came with a small bottle of super foaming concentrate. I presume it was meant to be diluted and sucked in from a solution tank. It was only...

    Polishing exhaust tips, not sure what material they are.. Help needed

    I'm working with a 2008 Hyundai Sonata SE, with dual exhausts. The tips are shiny metal, but I have no idea if they are chrome or stainless or just what they are. Here is an example (best I could find without taking a pic of mine directly, as it's raining here today). Suggested...

    Should DG #601 basically disappear after applying?

    Just got finished applying DG 601 and while I could clearly see where I had applied it for about 5-10 seconds it disappeared completely. Before I start with the 105 I'm wondering if I applied it too thin.. ?

    Best wax/sealant combo for Dodge Flame Red Clearcoat?

    Best combo for Dodge Flame red clearcoat? I know the best results won't be probably from OTC. Paint is about 95%, few scratchomatic carwash / brush scrathces in the clearcoat, light swirling. I've used #83 and Mothers Synwax so far, but would like to bump it up a notch. I have the PC, megs...

    Pads absorbing too much, tips to help?

    I tried using Mother's FX Synwax for the first time the other evening with a tan meg's polishing pad. I found that I was having to add a tablespoon or two for every body panel as the wax was just not showing up on the paint. After a couple of panels I noticed the center of the pad (about...

    I guess I don't understand this one (bird bomb problem)

    Ok, I'm lost on why this problem recurs. 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Patriot blue clearcoat metallic. Left a bird bomb on for a bit too long, removed it, saw a pretty healthy 'ghost' image of the bomb area. Took some 83 and a polishing pad removed it until the image was gone. Clean and...

    Difference between new Mother's Reflections and the SynWax?

    Was checking out the new Reflections and the SynWax. Looks like the Reflections is more of a 2-step process with the wax and then a top coat, and the Synwax is an all-in-one.. Would I be correct in this? I'm trying to find somewhere that has the SynWax in stock, where are you guys...
