    LSP face-off - Questions

    After recently spending some time comparing FK1000-P on my Jeep to my friends KSG’ed Honda this weekend, I got to thinking about doing a long-term (3-4 months) comparison and durability test of some LSP’s this winter on my daily driven Jeep SRT8. To make things fair I would; wash, clay, polish...

    1992 Lexus SC400 - Detail

    Last night I did a detail on my friends very-neglected 1992 Pearl White Lexus SC400. The car was in terrible shape with heavily oxidized and flaky/scaly paint. As I didn’t have any experience with paint this old (yes, I’m a spring chicken) and I don’t own a paint thickness gage I knew this would...

    As I've gotten more and more addicted to detailing I've started to inspect the paint on random cars and really appreciate the freshly detailed cars I encounter on the road.

    Can I protect adjustible shocks with LSP?

    So... I recently purchased some adjustable coil overs to lower and improve handling for my 09 Jeep SRT8. The coil overs are threaded and have multiple adjustments (spring preload, damping, hight). I'd like to protect the shocks with something I have and possibly follow up with a coating (if...

    LSP -> FK-1000p serious question

    Lately, I've been trying out a lot of different LSP's. I finally tried the highly suggested FK-1000p and I like it a lot (the most)! The only thing that's been odd is that bug's -fly's in particular- are attracted to my car with this LSP! At first I figured it's because I moved 2 blocks from...

    Steering wheel leather failure

    I noticed after many long weekends of racing that my steering wheel was starting to get sticky/tacky where I grip it (3 / 9 o'clock). I assumed it was grime/sweat from my hands, so I hit it with some Meg's D101 at 1:10 strength (like I've seen on detailing video's). I didn't even let it sit just...

    Where are Canadians buying their detailing products?

    I'm wondering where most of you buy your car detailing products in Canada (other than Eshine.ca & Amazon.ca). I've been having a hard time getting the products I want (i.e. Hydro-Tech Pads, CarPro Reflect Polish, LSP's, car soaps, etc.).
