    Collinite over NXT

    Can I use Insulator Wax directly over NXT and still maintain the great durability of Insulator? Or should I use a chemical polish first?

    Simple Green vs Purple Power

    What's the difference between Simple Green and Purple Power? I've read the Simple Green is not that safe for bare metals because it's citrus-based. Is it citrus based? Is Purple Power more like a Meg's APC, Super Degreaser, or Safe D-greaser? I'm asking because I want a strong cleaner...

    EO tire cleaner to remove solvent dressings?

    I've used nothing but solvent-based dressings in the past. I've been cleaning the tires during each wash using my left wash soap or soap directly out of my foamgun (and then a good scrub with Meg's tire brush.) Will EO tire and wheel cleaner be strong enough to remove any dressings left on...

    OCW, dark colored cars, and paint chips

    Does OCW dry clear or white? I have a dark green 1998 Accord. It's been a daily driver the whole time on I80 in NJ. As you can imagine, it's got some significant paint chips in the hood. However, it also has tons of previously unoticeable chips in the clear coat. I have currently have...

    Uneven beading with NXT

    I have a quick question: I seem to get very nice, tight, even beading on all vertical surfaces and as well as my hood. However, the roof and trunk lid have very irregular beading. There are beads that are very round and then there are some that are just huge, spills of water. I have a 98...

    OCW vs NXT and some misc

    OK, I finally got to try some of the stuff I recently bought: * Optimum Car Wax "spray wax" vs NXT liquid and spray wax * Grit Guard * Optimum No Rinse wash (as a QD and clay lube) compared to Meg's Quik Detailer and Clay Magic clay lube So you may ask, why am I comparing OCW...

    Removing concrete from paint

    A friend of mine has some very small bits of (what appears to be) concrete splatter on the underside of her car (area right by the back of rear wheel well.) I am able to pick some of it off with my fingernail. However, it doesn't actually get all of it off. Is there anything you can use...

    Diluting Meg's Wheel Brightener

    I've read that WB should be diluted 4:1 and it's still pretty strong at that rate. At 4:1, how does it compare to Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner at that dilution rate? I like Hot Rims wheel cleaner but it is stronger than what I need on a regular basis since I now wash the wheels on a fairly...

    Washer fluid that WON'T remove sealant/wax?

    Is there a windshield washer fluid that won't remove wax? I see autogeek carries the P21S and Wurth washer additives. Both say they can be diluted with straight water and used in lieu of traditional washer fluid. Will either of these strip the wax or sealant protectant? I plan on using...

    Poorboys EX-P or EX - more durable.

    OK, I've decided to go with Poorboy's as my sealant choice. Now, the EX with carnuaba sounds like it would be the better looking of the two. Question: which is more durable? Durability is the deciding factor between the two. If there is no difference, then I'll go with the EX-P. I plan...

    Hyperdressing has UV?

    Anyone know if Meguiar's Hyperdressing has any UV protection...Meg's online seems kind of secretive about this topic. The response over there was (from Mike PHillips): "I spoke with one of our chemists about this and his reply was all Meguiar's protectant contain the appropriate amount of UV...

    How long does PB EX-P last?

    I'm very conflicted over which sealant to get. My choices have been narrowed down to Poorboy's EX-P and Klasse SG. EX-P Applies well in full sun Easier overall to apply Klasse SG Last along time...more durable. Can be difficult to apply without streaking. Can't be used in full...

    DP finish polish/Klasse AIO/SG/EX-P

    Can I use DP Final Finishing Polish under Klasse SG? It says it doesn't contain any fillers so I'm assuming it won't hinder adherence or durability of SG. Is that correct? I like the DP because it's much more economical than AIO right now. Also, I'm still debating on which sealant to...

    Conditioner for coated leather?

    I have two Honda's (98 Accord and 05 Odyssey). They both have coated leather. I don't know what the coating is but I've read that it's most likely vinyl. I confirmed that I have coated leather by putting a few drops of water on them and they did not absorb into the leather (especially the...

    Products that do well in full sun

    Unfortunately, I don't have a garage large enough to fit my car AND give me room to work on it at the same time. I also don't have any shade on my driveway during the day. I try to work early or late in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I often have to work in full sun. Which products in the...
