Is just a tease for now. I washed my tires, wheels, and wheelwells last week with the hose and normal stuff, then I QEW'd the car. I find this works well because I can flush the underbody and really clean the wheels and stuff, but I don't have water dripping out of body seams for hours after...

*BEFORE VOTING* If you think there's a common one that should be in the poll, don't vote. Post the brand, hopefully a mod will add it, then vote. Otherwise, if you vote for "other" and your tool brand gets added, you can't change your vote. You can pick more than one brand on your vote...

I have all this stuff to try out now... Well, I've used QEW many times, and two of those bottles are for my Mom. But the rest is all new to me. I hit the wipers up last night with the 303 Wiper Blade stuff. It seems to leave a sort of coating on them, not unlike and Endurance/#38 kind of...

So, my NXT arrived today, and I was planning on washing the Regal and hitting it with #16, so it worked out perfectly. The Regal had been hit with DACP and MPPP about 3 weeks ago, and hadn't been washed since then. I washed with QEW in the garage since it was 25F out... I did wash the...

I think I'll order up a bottle of NXT and the spray wax (yeah, I was gonna wait for the pro stuff...). I would like to pick up a bottle of #38, but I notice the NXT tech protectant also claims to have antiozonants and such. This would be for exterior use only. Which of the two has the most...

I'm getting a little tired of the dusting from using DACP or SFP with my PC. I practically have to wash the car again... Has anyone ever tried the sanding dust catcher accessory? Think it would help? Or just be one more thing that might rub against the paint? I'm also thinking of...

These shots aren't as great. The sun wasn't in a good place. But here they are anyway. I went over the whole top half of the car with DACP by PC. I used a yellow polishing pad for it, and a red cutting pad on the areas there were deep scratches. The red pad really worked well, but of...

Well, my wife upgraded her little sissy Nissan for a 1997 Regal GS which just turned 100,000 miles. I spent the last 4 days making it into a new car again. The interior took me about 8-10 hours. I used 9:1 APC+, #40, Lexol cleaner, Lexol conditioner, and various things on the glass. The...

So, I'm thinking this weekend I'll be able to wash my car and of course I'll slap on some more protectant. But I'm wondering what I should use. Normally I would just toss on another coat of whatever the top coat is (in this case, #16). But the thing is is that the car is a lot more disgusting...

I decided to rinse the salt off my car last night because it was about 45 degrees out. Too late/dark for a wash. Anyway, I wonder if it was really worth it? Before, the lower part of my car was salty, though not crusty. Now, the lower part is still saltly (though less so), and the whole car...

Is the #38 still made? It doesn't show up on meguiars.com, and I don't think it ever has. Also, is this product similar to Endurance in that you really wouldn't want to use it on much but tires? Endurance stays a bit thick on tires even though it doesn't seem to stay sticky. I dont' know...

Ok, well I'd thought about getting HID's or something to get more low-beam output from my car. Don't get me wrong, the stock low-beams are great. But I wanted a bit more. By the way, the high-beams are ridiculous on this car. It's like flipping the sun on. Anyway, I decided to try...

I tried #16 Professional Paste Wax (to help the search) out about a week ago on my wife's car. I've only used it twice, so these are just initial impressions of it. I'm also hoping some of you will post your experience as I know others here use it, but I didn't see a review (I searched back...

Since there was a thread about the biggest let-down of a product you've purchased this year, how about one for the opposite? What product have you purchased this year that really blew your socks off? I'd say for me it was Final Detail. It really blew me away and is much better than any of...

A guy I know is looking to get a beater and is gonna buy an Aspire. I was trying to convince him he should get a cheap yet exciting car since he'll be in it a lot. He wasn't into that. Anyway, it got me thinking. If I were gonna buy a cheapy daily-driver, I'd try to get a 1992 Oldsmobile...

I have a gift card for Sears for $250. I'm thinking of getting a 1/2" torque-wrench, and maybe a 3/8" of the small-torque (in-lbs) kind. I'd still have a bit left, though. I really don't know what to get. I sort of thought maybe buy a decent starter rotary, but they don't seem to have much...

I used to use Endurance, but at some point I tried the high-gloss version of it, hated it, and just sort of stopped using any of it. I started using #40 and really liked it but didn't like using it up. Then I tried Gold Class Rubber and Vinyl Protectant (to use it up because I totally hated it...

Mobius PM'd me about removing the center console from his 2001 Aurora 3.5, so I figured I'd just post it up here in case another Aurora owner wants to do the same thing. The main thing is to be careful because the wood trim can be chipped fairly easily. I've heard of many a person who had...

Ha ha, just a tease for now... I haven't applied it yet. :P However, I wanted to write up the prep steps while I'm eating lunch in the middle of prepping. I have sprayed the car down with 64:1 APC+ to loosen/remove the Souveran and Blackfire on the car, washed the car with #00, ran to the...

I'd forgotten how much I like Klasse SG. I used it on my wife's car a while back, then started using up products on her car again. Gold Class, the old Blackfire topped with #26, MPPP topped with #26, that crappy PowerShine SuperShine, you name it. It always looked clean and shiny, and the...
