My cousin and I each EX-P'd our windshields and glass....my 2004 Honda seems fine; didn't detect any hazyness during rain, may have sheeted or beaded a bit more but nothing notiecable. My cousin's 1993 Subaru Legacy had an old winshield and wipers so I thought it might make more of an...

Someone mentioned that they're wary of using S&W when the salt/gravel is heavy in the winter. I didn't think of that....if you're just pushing the stuff around, you could conceivably scratch your finish alot. Would having a few coats of sealant (SG, EX-P) mitigate that somewhat? Or should I...

Anybody using that SONUS stuff that is supposed to work well with AIO/SG underlayers? I have some and was thinking of using it this week and sending in a pic or two...now, with the NYC weather fairly warm, I was thinking of doing a PB Suds wash and adding another layer of SG instead of S&W + SONUS.

Saw them at Wal-Mart so I grabbed 2 since they weren't much money and I'm trying lots of things on my tires....looked like trial-size sample packs...llittle bottle (looks like my travelling hair spray bottle!) of forumla and a pair of curved applicators that you use to spread them evenly on the...

Got my SSR 3 today...it says "Heavy Duty Compound" and I'm now a bit worried that this is a quantum leap up from SSR 2.5 in a way that SSR 2.5 wasn't from SSR 2. I want to work on my brother's scratch this week...it's a bicycle handle scratch on his 2004 Honda Accord...car is 9 months...

I used some PB SSR to get out some rain spots on my mirrors...anybody know if it's OK to use the SSR's on mirrors? What about PB Pro Polish? Thanks.

I did my fathers 3-year old Mitsubishi over the weekend...hit the tires with the spray and then I noticed 3 days later that they were completely dry and looked like they had before I hit them. Anybody ever notice this before? The only thing I can think of is that the older tires somehow...

I tried before and I think there was a 500kb limit or something...I just did my Honda winter prep and would like to show it off before it fades....can someone tell me how I can get the shots uploaded here if they're larger than 500 kb on my computer (JPEG format)? I'm not too good at this kind...

Did my winter detailing this past weekend (will try and get some pics up -- do we have a limit on size? I think I had a problem with that before). I used EX-P on the windshield and was kinda hoping for rain to see how it works...wouldn' you know it....no rain forecast this week in the NY metro...

This question might be best for Steve/Poorboy: In alot of our discussion regarding products and detailing experiences, it's subjective analysis: color depth, ease of applications, how it looks, how long it lasts under our specific conditions, etc. What about actual physical measurement of the...

WOW !! Just cleaned all 4 of my wheels in 20 minutes, start to finish, dry-to-wet-to-dry. I had last cleaned them 4 weeks ago and applied EX-P. OK, so they haven't had that much time to get dirty. Still, there was some black grime on the wheels but it just came right off. That EX-P is great...

If I use my PC 7424 to clean my front windshield, what speed should I use the PC at -- low, medium, high? Also, I presume I should use the white polishing pad it came with or the equivalent from Edge/Sonus, right? My car is new (5 months) but the windshield did have some water spots a few...

I hope to apply 3 coats of Klasse SG this weekend and the first is drying on my car as I type. Is there any benefit to letting it sit 30 minutes, an hour, or 3 hours before buffing it out? I don't care if it's a little harder, the car is inside and I have the time to take it off. I trust that...

I applied some 1 Z Glanz to my cousins car 2 months ago. It's a 1993 Subuaru Legacy (looks like a mini-station wagon), hadn't been waxed/detailed in years. We washed, clayed, SSR'd, and then did the 1-step 1 Z Glanz wax, wasn't going to apply multiple layers of EX-P or Klasse with extra costs...

What products that we talk about here have or do NOT have PD's? I used 1Z Eisensta Glanz Wax and it clearly says "contains petroleum distallates" and it smells and pours like it has PD's, too. Someone told me Zaino has minute quantities of PD in it but I'm not sure if that's listed on the...

Like Tony The Tiger says about Frosted Flakes ....itssssssss GREEEAT !! I got some tar on my side panels and it took a few minutes to come off. But the aluminum wheels which I had EX-P'd a few days earlier? The stuff came right off with some S&W. If you haven't applied some sealant to your...

Had some rain today, went outside, and my car's trunk and roof had lots of 1" (approx.) little round and oval-shaped rain drops on the roof, hood, and back trunk. If I had no finish at all on my car, just a dirty, grimy, very rough paint job what would I have?

I know that might be a dumb question, but I'm serious. Obviousley, I knew when I touched mom's '94 Camry that hadn't been washed or waxed in 2 years that there was nothing there. And dad's '01 Mitsubishi Galant felt "rough" also. But I put 2 coats of UPP on mom's car and the 1Z EX Glanz...

My 3 month old Potenza tires on my Civic were faded -- I almost though they were used when looking at them from the side. Not black at all -- maybe the day I picked it up at the dealer, but I was more concerned with looking at the body and might not have noticed. Anyway, I applied some...

Just curious, since I had one and hope to in the future. Since the Corvette is Fiberglass (I think it's the only fiberglass-made car), I was wondering if that presented any special opportunities with any of the stuff we always talk about. Do you definitely want to use/avoid a wax, a resin, a...
