Obviously we're not all giants, so to get the roofs on some vehicles, especially trucks and SUVs, you'll need a step stool to get up there. Also, for polishing the lower sides of a car, a nice stool or chair would be good. Anyone have any suggestions? I see this cool contraption at...

:heelclick Let's hear them!

Did my own hood today, it had plenty of spiderwebs and scratches from rocks and other assorted road deritus. I also had 2 horizontal deep scratches in the hood from using a california blade to dry it with 2 bits of dirt on the blade.. My weapons of choice were SSR2.5 first with an orange...

I love these things. They shed a little bit out of the bag, but after a wash cycle in woolite and a double rinse, they are great. So cheap! I've noticed no marring, they are the good 70/30 blend too. Anyone else like these MFs? I know a lot of people love boutique MFs, but I go through way...

So I'm going to be taping some how-to videos soon for release on youtube and the like. My question is: what things should I cover first? I think my priorities are going to be how to PROPERLY wash a car, claybarring, and polishing for the first videos. Maybe I'll do waxing too, however there's...

Are any of you guys seeing wax/sealants being taken off with the foamgun? It uses such a high concentration of wash solution.....

As the topic states... no interior cleaning, just a foamgun wash, then claybar, then top with a one step wax. As a normal price, I was thinking around $60 would be fair for this type of detail, what do you guys think?

anyone know what actual polymers are being used in all the new synthetic sealants? my girlfriend is a polymer chemist and I was thinking it might be fun to do some garage chemistry and see if we can work up a good homebrew sealant? :)

So, I've been hearing a lot about Werkstatt Acrylic Jett. I want to find this stuff so I can try it. But, I have no idea where to purchase it. What might be helpful is a sticky topic on where to buy certain "rarer" items. It seems like a lot of topics on here are people asking where to buy...

Which out of this list of products do you guys think are good/I should buy? I've already removed some things from the list that I know I probably won't want. I've got a pretty darn good hookup so if in your experience anything on this list has worked for you, let me know, because I'm not...

they seem to know a lot about making polishes and sealants... is it something in their kraut? :)

where did you purchase it?

omg, most fun you can possibly have washing a car. it REALLY helps with cleaning wheels if you set the foam to 3oz/gallon and spray it on them. I found that 2oz/gallon setting with a 70/30 Gold class/water ratio mix gave me a good amount of foam without using too much solution. I used half...

Hi guys. A lot of folks have been chatting about the SSR2.5 as being good at scratch removal. I ordered myself up a bottle. What I DIDN'T do, stupidly, is order SSR2 and SSR1. What I do have, is a bottle of einszett paint polish. I'm thinking this would be a good second step after the...

From what I've read by SEARCHING ( ;) ) people have different methods of washing with the foam gun. Well, I just jumped into the fray and ordered up a foamgun yesterday. I'm wondering what people with foamgun's different wash techniques are. I know the basic premise is to use the foamgun...

?? :) looking to get the gilmour one.

I've heard they're the same. Why pay double for the p21s? Or, are they NOT the same?

Alright guys. Time to buy the PC/pads. I'm going with coastal tool for the PC, so I'll need some pads. I figure I'll get 1 of the yellow sfx-1 pads, and maybe 2 of the sfx-2 pads. Are the blue pads really necessary? I'll probably be waxing by hand. Are there any other pads I might...

opinions? looking at their paint polish/glanz wax combo

I'm looking for cheap spray bottles, both the "trigger" kind and the "pump" kind. I'm also looking for "mini" pump bottles, maybe in bulk, I've got a good "customer incentive" idea. Cheap is the name of the game here. Anyone know a good OTC source? I can't imagine they would be...
