I probably haven't *played* will most of the products out there that some of you pro detailers have used. What exterior rubber/plastic trim detail product do you like that last the elements. My current favorite is One Grand ERV (hardly mentioned on this board) but it doesn't really last after a...

My Waffleweave JT Towel ain't cutting it on my X5 SUV. There is just too much to cover. I fell for your Ford Trunk Owners.....I would love to have a F150 for pulling the boat though. Anyways, what towels do you guys use. 2 Waffleweave towels ? I've resorted to doing the inital pass on the...

Does anyone use a PC to apply GEPC/SEPC. It seems like it's more a glaze and has very minor abrasives in it. I used this stuff last week but it was of a rub in with the applicator and then wipe off with the MF. Topped it with P21S wax and what a shine. The depth was great also. I may just...

I have beige leather and plan to keep it beige - not jean blue beige <g>. What is the time intervals do you use on your leather seats. I like the Griot's products for the leather (conditioner & interior cleaner) and plan on cleaning every 3X months with a water wipedown whenever I clean the...

Would anyone know which one is more abrasive - Menzerna Intensive Polish or 3M PI III. I'm looking to get a product to remove swirls without fillers. I tried the Menzerna Final Polish and that did not cut it.

I'm having the bumpers on my car repainted. Any tips you can provide on what to check for at the time of pickup.......

Anyone know where I can buy 3M bodyshop supplies online. I just need the smaller bottles though (16oz) of PI III rubbing compound PI polishing glaze SMR PI hand glaze

I sometimes have to drive out to the city (NYC) and gotta park real close or them trucks will just take your mirror right off... I've got some minor curb rash on one of my wheels. I've never really saw a thread on this but what do ya'll do with curb rash. Do you just wait it out 3 years or...

Any tips or Tricks you guys use when doing exterior trim detailing. I've got huge areas of rubber trim on my X5 (bumpers) and the door panels. I use One Grand Erv, Eagle One Concours + Stoners Trim Shine. I think I'm going to try the MSLT Silicone Formula on the bumpers to see if it will...

Anyone use this product. While I don't expect stain free carpet, just wanted feedback on this to see if it does repel water/stains.

i recently took delivery of my new black bmw. The car was glazed and it looked *great* off the lot at pickup time. Salesrep confirmed my wishes for no exterior detail but I guess their prep center was instructed otherwise for their customer service call. After seeing the swirls on the car, I...

I used to wash every 2 weeks being since I had limited time. Since picking up the new car, I've washed the car almost every week for the past 3 months (maybe letting it go 2 weeks without a wash 3 times) My neighbors make fun that I move the car that extra bit when I'm done to get the...

I'm on week 3 of Glanz Wax on my car. It's been really bad with the pollen lately but I just finished washing the car today and proceeded to used P21S as a topper. Glanz Wax on my black car looks kinda iffy on it's 3rd week. When it first went on, it was easy one, easy off with a good shine...

Just tried out Menzerna Final Polish this weekend. Is it just me or it is hard to buff this off. I used a grey pad and worked it in till it was almost dry and ready to buff off. Tried to do a quick buff with MF but this stuff was tough. The combo I ended up doing was a quick followup of...

Other than the depth, etc that caranuba vs. sealant gives, are there any other major differences other than longevity where sealants have the upper hand. If I don't care about the longevity (which I do when fall/winter comes) is the only main difference how long the wax lasts or .....let's...

Anyone else still using cotton towels on your car paint vs. MF. I love how MF cleans up windows, interior, etc but I still love my charisma selects on the exterior for drying and buffing.

Just curious for those that use this combo....generally how long does this last for you before another coat. 2 weeks...1 month, 2 months, etc.....

for those that don't have a garage and own a black car, how *meticulos* are you on the paint finish. I have a black BMW X5 and was planning to get rid of the dealer induced swirls using Mez. Final Polish, followed by some Glanz Wax. The car was in for service yesterday and when I picked it...

Does 3M or Meguiars SMR permanently removes swirls or does it minimizes the swirl and fill it. I have a black car I would like to rid of some minor dealer induced swirls that is all over. Plan to get it perfect....

I've had good experiances with some of the Wurth products. Just used their glass cleaner - aerosol based. This stuff left streaks galore and tried following up with a another clean MF with no luck. Took out my tried and true Turtle Wax ClearVue and streakfree windows once again.
