    Claying oxidized paint

    If you have a car with bad oxidation, what do you do? Do you remove the oxidation first via polishing, THEN clay, or do you clay the oxidized paint, THEN polish it? I always understood oxidation to be a layer of dead paint, so it wouldn't make much sense to clay dead paint, would it? I would...

    Clarification regarding Trade Secret and Pinnacle Souveran

    Many people think that Top of the Line's Trade Secret wax is the same as Pinnacle Souveran. They are NOT the same. After speaking with Max and Jason from Autogeek, I will tell you that they are in no way the same - the color is different, the scent is different, the whole formula is different...

    Easier drying with certain LSP's?

    Lately I've noticed that drying the car can be easier with certain waxes/sealants on the paint. I always use the same towels, and I've been testing this out for awhile, so I'm pretty sure it's the LSP that is effecting this. When using certain LSP's that have an extreme sheeting or beading...

    What detailing supplies should I bring?

    I'm heading to NY for 5 days, leaving at 3am tomorrow. We're driving the Excursion up there, and I was wondering what I should bring. I know it's too cold to do a conventional wash, so maybe I should bring S&W, a bunch of microfibers and some tire dressing? I'm also bringing my new Optimum Car...

    Wolfgang Durability Update (Pt. 2), pics inside

    Almost 3 months ago (9/27/04), I applied Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant to my mother's 2000 Camry. The car has been washed two times since then. Slickness is nearly gone, but the paint is still beading and cleans up fairly easily. Today it rained, so I snapped some pics. I don't see...

    Caring for Lambswool wash mitts

    What do you guys do to keep your lambswool/sheepskin mitts like new? After I'm done washing, I rinse mine, wring it out, and let it air-dry. Afterwards, it doesn't feel like new anymore. I usually have to replace after 3-4 months of weekly use. When I put mine in the washing machine...

    My EX-P+ Review

    I'll start off by saying that this stuff looks just like EX-P, but smells different, and it's thicker. Some people complained about it being too thick, but I haven't found that to be a problem. Washed the car, and got to work with S100 SEPC and a polishing pad. After that, I applied EX-P+ with...

    Red 1997 Mustang Cobra - Swirled and Oxidized

    This is my buddy's car. It is kept outside 24/7, and with all of the construction going on at his house thanks to the hurricanes, it's hard to keep it clean. He helped me out with the whole detail, and I love the color of this paint, so I enjoyed it. It was last polished ~5 months ago, had a...
