    303: To Dilute Or Not To Dilute ??

    I see that 303 says that a 30:1 mixture should be good for cleaining stains in carpets and floor mats. I tried it with a little spritz bottle -- maybe 6 ounces -- and it seemed like a lot of work. Then I tried a few spritzes of pure 303 (no water added) and the stuff seemed to fade right away...

    Ummm....where's "Main Street Detailing" ?

    Did we undergo a new layout or something? I can't find the Main Street Detailing section...is it still here or has it been broken up into all the new sections (Interior, Wheels, Claying, etc)??

    First Detailing Pics @ DetailCity.com

    This is my car, detailed a few weeks ago, I finally got a digital camera and just figured out how to download them onto the PC and resize. Before-and-after shots....the car hadn't been detailed since November 2004, 3 layers of Klasse got it through the New York winter. I would say it took me...

    What's With This Pollen ????

    Are we having an unually bad pollen season this year or am I just paying more attention? Granted, for a bunch of years, I didn't even wash my car so I probably didn't pay attention to any yellow pollen accumulation. Plus, my car for most of that time was gold colored so pollen didn't stand...

    UPP: Super-Slick

    I just did my sister's Honda Odyssey and I noticed that after 1 coat of UPP (wash and clayed, no polish/SSR/AIO) it felt really slick. I thought it was slicker than my multiple coats of Klasse SG and EX-P which I usually use on my car or top-of-the-line cars for friends/family. FWIW, I applied...

    Inside Cleaners and Protectors: PB and 303

    I just started adding to my interior cleaning stuff. I have PB Natural Look, 303 Protectant, and 303 Cleaner (thanks, Dwayne and PAC !). My car is a 2004 Honda Accord. I have the plastic/vynl dash (who doesn't? :) ) and cloth seats (black). I'm thinking either the PB NL or Protectorate to...

    Poorboys EX-P on Klasse SG, other sealants

    I generally use PB EX-P on friends/family cars but I want to use it on my silver-ish Honda Civic. However, I just finished putting on a few layers of SG a week ago and I really don't want to take it off after all that work, nor do I want to wait for it to "wear off" in a few months. Can I...

    Damn....got some winter nicks !! :(

    Doing my spring detailing on my 2004 Honda Civic. I last detailed the car in mid-November, when I washed, clayed (?), and then AIO/SG (3 layers). I think I washed winter gunk off twice when it got noticeable after a few snowstorms. Well, during the claying today, I noticed a few tiny nicks...

    Let EX-P and KLASSE SG sit a while ???

    I know we've talked about this at length, but I did a friend's car the other day with AIO/SG and while AIO said OK to wipe off immediately, SG said to let dry. I was wondering....is there any benefit to letting it dry an hour? 3 hours? 12 hours...before you take it off? Or once it's dried...

    Wal-Mart's MICROTEX MF Towels

    Anybody use them/familiar with them? I purchased a few today, just gonna use them to clean dirty areas of interior/exterior, not on main finish. I have the higher-quality (?) stuff from PAC and AG that I use for the car's body. Still, if anybody knows something specific about their quality (#...

    "303" and PB Natural Look

    I wrote them down on a pad last fall as things to look at, can't find any threads on them now. They're interior cleaning stuff, right? Anybody use them? If so, can I order the 303 from a sponsor (I know I have to get the PB NL from one).

    PC'ing Your Windshield ??

    Is using the Porter Cable and a polishing or (light) cutting pad good after a winter of dirt, salt, grime, etc? If so, what pad type would you use (I have the Edge and Sonus) and what stuff would you use with it -- PB PP, SR-1, AIO ? Thanks.

    Klasse Held Up ALL Winter

    Hey, guys, sorry I've been so inactive but job stuff and other family matters occupied me most of the last few months. Now that I'm getting ready to do my 1st detailings of the 2005 year, I hope to be a bit more regular. My triple-coating of KLASSE SG held up all winter. My 2004 Honda was...

    Klasse Held Up The Whole Winter !

    Hey guys, have been busy of late and barely enough time to scan the posts let alone post. I did want to let everyone know that the 3 coats of Klasse SG I put on in mid-November did a great job protecting my 2004 Civic EX from the NY metro winter. The car was garaged but the salt and slush at...

    Tire Gloss Products: Eagle 1 vs. 4 Star UTG vs. Meguiars Hot Spray

    (Sorry, no pics !! I know, I know, I have to get a digital camera. I'll try and revisit this in a few months with pictures...in the meantime, bear with me as I'll provide lots of detail to make up for the lack of pics). OK, the products are the Eagle 1 Tire Swipes, Meguiars Hot Tire Spray...

    SSR 3.0 Hazing -- ID it and solution ?

    I tried some SSR 3 on a scratch on a 2004 Honda Accord (grey color). I did 2 passes for about 20-30 seconds each time at speeds 5 & 6. Well, it faded the scratch somewhat but when I went back to detailing, after using some AIO I noticed a 2" x 3" faded area right above the scratch. Well, I am...

    Is This Beading ??

    I went out today after a light rain and noticed that my hood and rear had like hundreds of tiny droplets of the rain in little balls. I had never noticed that before -- mostly gobs of water on my previous (undetailed cars). I put a few coats of Klasse SG a few weeks ago. Is this what is meant...

    Fuel Injector Cleaners: Any Good ?

    Hey guys, though I'd ask this here since I figured maybe some of the pros were also engine experts or knowledgeable. I ran out of gas in my new Honda and was wondering about putting in a quart or so of those fuel injector cleaners or whatever, since I probably "sucked up" any residue/dirt from...

    $!%@^#&*

    #@$%^&*@#~!%^#&#** I spilled some gasoline in my trunk and now I have that damn gasoline smell throughout the car. Airing it out but am in need of additional solutions. Anyone got any? I can go buy something, but it'd have to be from a local place, don't want to wait a week for an online...

    SONUS Acryllic Glanz vs. Spritz

    It says that Spritz is a QD while Glanz is a "booster wax." Is PB S&W technically a QD? If not, can someone define a QD? I thought a Quick Detailer meant just that -- either a wash OR finishing compound that could be sprayed on and done quickly. But if QD refers only to a quick cleaning item...
