We've all heard the raves about UPP, but how are the other 4* products, like the tire gel, wash soap, or the wheel cleaner gel? I like the idea that the products are environmentally safe, because I live very close to the river, and I have concern for the environment. If the products work well...

I just noticed this product at Autogeek. It sure has a unique name. :) If it's a good product I might buy it and save the jar afterward! :cool: http://www.autogeek.net/blujob.html

I have some damage on my car (yeah an accident a while back) and there are a few small spots (size of a penny) where the paint chipped off. I have applied touch up paint to the spots several times, but the paint keeps coming off somehow. It will usually take a month or more, but the paint will...

After polishing single stage paint, the pads should have paint on them right? Can you wash the paint off, or do the pads have to be thrown out? If you can wash them, what do you wash them with?

I have a friend that wants to sell his factory 2K2 17" Maxima SE rims to me. I have a 95 Maxima with the factory 15" alloys. Will the car sit even higher off the ground if I put those rims on without lowering it? I already think my car has a 4X4 look with the large gaps in the wheelwells, and...

I washed my car in the garage all last winter about once every two days, although on really crappy days I may have washed it twice in one day! It was rough trying to wash the car when it was 10 degrees F out. This winter I plan to get a space heater to aid in warming the garage when I'm working...

The labels on my 1Z Anti-Insekt are typed in German. I'd like to know what the directions say on the back so I do everything right. Could someone translate it for me? Or does someone have a bottle with an english label?

Here's the deal: I'm removing oxidation on my dad's 94 green Voyager. It's washed about once a year, and sits outside all the time. It may have been waxed once. This has been my process: 1. Wash 2. Dry 3. AIO by PC w/ LC light-cut pad on spd 6. As far as how fast I'm going, the center of the...

Since I live in Wisconsin and the below-freezing high temperatures last for several months here in winter, I had to come up with a way to wash my car without resorting to car wash places. I could go to a DIY place, but sometimes they might use recirculated water, or really strong soap, etc...

I have heard a lot of great thoughts on UPP. I like the idea of a wet and slick finish, but I also think the product's smell is important. I read the reviews on UPP and the smell didn't seem to be a strongpoint by any means. Is this product worth getting despite the smell? Do you guy's apply...

1. With a PC, is a polishing pad (Meg's 8006 yellow) adequate for oxidation removal? 2. How slow do I need to go for moderate oxidation? 1 foot straight line per minute? (assuming I'm on speed 5) 3. Does it usually require more than one application or can you keep working it until all the...

Would application of Gummifledge prolong the life of wiper blades? It says it keeps rubber soft, so the blades would resist cracking then right?

Now that I have a large collection of detailing supplies, I've been wondering if I should wash my WalMart MFs (dirtier jobs like waxing wheels, bug/tar remover, carpet cleaner...) with my ExcelDetail MFs (used for claying, polishing, waxing, QDing only). Should I wash them as separate loads, or...

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. It's not the hinge. Whenever I open or close the door, it makes a grinding sound. On the flat bar in the picture, there is not any grease on the edges of the bar; obviously something is scraping against that spot. I've put several applications...

Last time I needed clay I ordered 3 bars from the Autopia store for $18. How come the autopia store doesn't carry them anymore? Is there any other place I can get clay bars by themselves? I don't need all the other crap (lube,cheap wax) that comes with the bars at local stores.

How do you guys get animal hair out of the seats? I had a car yesterday that had an incredible amount of white hairs all over the black cloth seats. My vacuum was no match for most of the hair, and after cleaning the seats and vacuuming again, I still saw most of it in the fabric. I used this...

I took this picture after using my new PC for the first time, along with 3M PI III MG and GEPC. I love my PC! :cool:

I cleaned half of my driver's seat with Autoglym's Interior Shampoo to see what difference it would make... I didn't think there would be that much difference. I was wrong. :eek:

Here's an engine bay picture of a 2000 Jetta I detailed the other day: My engine bay: (Metal parts were polished with Mothers Mag/Alum polish) NXT Tech Protectant on tire: (NXT Tech Wax on wheel) My Opinion: NXT TP and Mothers mag/alum polish are both affordable, easy to use, and...
