Ok ladies and gentlemen.... this one is left over from my "I have no idea how to even wax my car properly." days... I came to my car after a movie and it had a large, deep scratch from the top of the middle driver's side wheel well to about 3/4 of the way down the driver's side door... I almost...

Yep, that's right.... I'm washing my car 3 times before I begin the true work. Why?? Well, other than feeling really good about how clean the car will be before I start and other than the feeling that I know I will not be sealing in any crud at all other than what I put on.....I'm a little...

Anybody know of any companies (HKS, etc) that make turbo kits for the Audi S4??? Also, any performance/styling information would be helpful too.....

Ok, here's the deal... I previously thought that I understood what compounding was, but I have read through a few threads and become slightly/greatly confused. Here is what I thought compounding to be before I read those threads: Compounding: To use a product (3M Perfect-It II Light Rubbing...

I bought these from PepBoys because they looked a lot like the ones on CMA. They're made by a company called "EZ-ONE" or something like that and they "seem" (perception of a budding detailing enthusiast) to be ok. Anyone had any experience with these applicators or could you tell me a way to...

I am planning on doing a FULL OVERHAUL of the Explorer this weekend with my newly ordered stuff from CMA. However, since some of the products (Souveran, SG) require curing/setup time I need something to cover it with while it is doing so. Now I was going to just go buy a good ol tarp from a...

The times seem to vary from person to person, but I figure I'll take all the responses that I get and average them out to a number......So here's the question.... What are the approximate curing times FOR 1 COAT of the following(in no particular order): 1) Pinnacle Souveran (not Paste...

How do you remove pin-stripes?? I really want to get rid of these ugly looking things, but I'm afraid of messing the whole side of the truck up or having a visible line of sticky stuff all the way down both sides of my truck....... HELP! :confused: :nixweiss:

I know a lot of topics about Pinnacle Souveran have been posted, and I hope that everyone takes this post with a grain of salt, but here goes.... Per CMAs site concerning Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax I found the following.... This snippet flies in the face of all that I have been seeing...

I am about to order a new set of tires and I want to keep these babies in tip top visual condition. I basically would like some suggestions as to the best (arguable I'm sure) tire cleaner and deep, wet, glossy tire dressing. I previously used Wesley's Bleche-White coupled with Black Magic Tire...

Ok, I've heard that using Dawn (or any dishwashing detergent for that matter) is actually NOT a good idea. Apparently, the chemicals used in it remain on the finish and begin to oxidize it. I don't usually believe what I've heard unless I keep hearing it...So let me know guys.... Anybody...

Anybody applied Liquid Souveran after using Klasse AIO and Klasse SG???? Would it work appropriately?? Basically, I'm trying to figure out if I can save myself some money by ordering the new Pinnacle kit with LS in it or not. However, I do not want to end up having to buy the Souveran paste...
