Has anyone ever used the Pinnacle Signature Series II wax? I'm about to split an Autogeek order with a buddy of mine and need another excuse to buy another paste wax. Thanks. Rich

...or just good? I just noticed my Porter Cable Rotary which only has one speed, runs at 2000 RPM. Yikes. I've been using the thing for probably 12 years and only burnt paint with it once. I had a cheap wool pad on it with Megs Fine cut Cleaner, and burnt the bottom edge of the door on my 1997...

...if it would not rain for a day or two. My buddy wants me to do his Black Cobra and it's been raining or at least threatening to rain for the last few days. It's going to be at least a six hour job, so I would ideally need two days to finish, with work and all. He's getting antsy and I just...

Be gentle...:howdy

Anyone know what that's called? I looked for it on Autogeek, but no luck. I'm also contemplating using those plastic wheel chocks. Thay would probably work fine, ya think? I can't believe as long as I've been detailing cars, I've just become fed up with the hose getting stuck in between the...

I've been using NXT in my foam gun since I bought it, and it works well, but then thought I'd try some KIT wash w/ Carnauba that I had sitting in the garage. Holy suds!! Way beter than the NXT and super cheap. Autozone has it on special (50% more free; 96oz. for $3.99). The lubricity of this...

I want a polish that hides and fills swirls like Z-5 does, but I don't want to mess with that stupid ZFX additive stuff. Is there anything in like the Pinnacle, DP, Wolfgang or other line that does the same thing? I've always just removed swirls as best I could, but I've got a car that may be...

Just some before and after pics from a 2003 Ford Focus that my ex-girlfriend just bought. I think they upsold her to the Swirl Appearance package as an option.:D Had lots of fun. Here's the process. NXT Wash Clay Magic Clay Re-wash SSR2.5 w/polishing pad S&G to remove dust right to PWC more...

what your neighbors think? For example, it's been nice here the last few days and I've done multiple things to my car. Washed, clayed various panels, Spray and Washed, Spray and Glossed, Polished, Sealed, Waxed etc. Not the whole car at once mind you, but little parts here and there. But...

Those of you who apply Natty's or Natty's blue with a PC, what color pad do you use? I have Wolfgang pads, and assume that I would use the Grey Finishing pad for this. Can anyone speak from experience, or enlighten me as to which pad to use? Thanks.

I was removing some defects on my Dad's truck tonight using SSR 2.5 on an orange medium cutting pad and I want to finish the job tomorrow. Do I have to wash the pad, or can I just start using it straight away tomorrow? Thanks.

Thought this might be a fun thread. What kind of old, discontinued, or funky detailing products do you guys have? I've got some weird stuff laying around, like Auri Gold Polish and car wash, Dura Glo Polish, Dura Shine Vinyl Care stuff, Craftsman Car Wax, and a metal can of Flitz from who knows...

Hey Steve, any idea when you'll have the Fluppi's in stock? That would be a cheap excuse for me to buy a bunch of other stuff. :lol

Well, it's come to the point that I feel the need to cover my car when it's sitting for any period of time since EVERYTHING that touches the paint becomes a permanent remnant. :boohoo Now, my quandry is how easy or difficult is it to scratch the paint whilst installing/removing the car cover...

Just curious as to how you guys dress plastic and rubber engine pieces/components. Do you wipe whatever you can get your hands on with the dressing or do you simply spray the pieces so that they're coated with the dressing? Especially the elaborate or hard to reach pieces. As well, what products...

Found a bird bomb on my car today which couldn't have been there for more than an hour, so I immediately grabbed the QD from the car and removed the dropping. Wouldn't you know it, now I've got a permanent remnant of said bird dropping!! WTF!? I am so ticked off with this crap paint on my car...

The idiots that buffed the paint on my WRX a while back got compound splatter all over the flat back painted wiper arms and up until now, nothing would remove the residue. That's when I decided to apply some Natural Look to them to see what it would do for the heck of it. Completely...

Does anyone know if the current Zymol Cleaner Wax is the same as the old Zymol Polish? I was just wondering if its a different formula or just different name for marketing purposes.

For those of you who work out of your homes doing details on the side or as your main business, where do your clients wait for their vehicles to be done? Do you mandate that they drop them off? Just curious as I'm going to be doing a few friends' of friends' cars and I'm sure they don't want to...

Say that five times fast. :) Just took some dry pics today, so I figured I'd post some wet shots to show how well QD+ beads all by its lonesome. :bigups I was bored at about 1AM and it was pouring out so I decided to take some "brochure" type shots. :shift
