i recently moved to houston and live in a downtown highrise, giving me zero options for car care. does anyone know any places in houston i can bucket wash? other than quarter bays? thanks

i'm about to use my PC for the first time finally. for p21s gepc, i use white pad right? and any abrasives (e.g. fi-ii, smr) i use the yellow? and finishing products i use the grey? what about AIO or SG (if i decide to SG with PC:nixweiss, i'm def going to AIO with the PC), grey or white pad...

does anyone apply klasse with the PC? i would imagine that using the PC would give the thinnest coats of the products (as per recommendations). thanks

okay, so in the coming week i'm going to detail my car, my dad's weekend driver, his daily driver, and my mom's car. dad's daily and mom's cars nary see a wash much less a wax. dad's weekend hasnt seen wax since the summer (but it is garaged). so here is my plan and i wanted to get input...

for waxing? waiting on my pad kit, but want to give my new PC a whirl this weekend. is the white pad that came with the PC okay to use for waxing?

what's teh differences (ease of use, harshness, etc) between griots machine polish 3 and 2 vs. 3m SMR and finesse it II? thanks

i noticed that the new model (7336) doesnt mention a counterweight. whereas teh older model 7242 did? do i need to order one? i have the 7336SP. thanks

i have some scratches that seem to be just clear coat and before i klasse i want to do as much as possible to fix. i was wondering what's the next harshest step from SMR (i mean more harsh). i dont want to do anything drastic. i just got my PC so i figure it'd be a good time to work the...

well that's not exactly my question. my question is this: i have klasse twins, p21s paint cleanser, blitz, and p21s (s100) wax. i'm planning on getting some SMR.... do i really have the products that would make a PC useful? like blitz would be hard with a pc. is it worth 100+ plus. question...

just a quick question, can i apply klass to my whole car without worry (i.e. my black trim etc) thanks

okay, so i'm about to klasse my car. i know it's an acrylic sealer etc. so my questions about QDs is this: should i get two QDs? one that is compatible with acrylic sealants (i.e. no wax) and another that does have wax (for when i layer my carnauba on top)? or is there one QD i can use for both...

i just got my bottle of 303 and saw on the label that it can be used on leather. has anyone here done this? i have a vinyl interior but have small leather touches (steering wheel, shift knob, etc) in the car that i really dont feel warrant buying a whole bottle of leather treatment. is the 303...

i have some scratches on my door that i dont think i could get out (some ppl here probably could, but i'm a novice in the detailing world). at any rate, i have two coats of blitz on my car right now and the scratches have been visibly reduced. in fact so much that i think 1-2 more coats of wax...

i have three scratches on my driver's side door that i want to take care of soon. i was looking at 3m smr as one of the steps i want to take (might wetsand first, then something a little more coarse than the smr, then the smr) but didnt know which smr to get. while this sounds a little silly, is...

does anyone here layer carnauba waxes? and does anyone layer different brands? is there any benefit? for example, if i have blitz (known more for durability than shine) on first and put a layer of p21s/s100 (known for shine more than durability) will i get the hybrid benefits of both? btw...

it will be my first experience with zaino as well. he said he could borrow an orbital buffer if i thought we needed it. and the local zaino distributor actually suggested it. i was wondering what the good folks here at autopia thought about using an orbital buffer for zaino application. i'm...

while it may sound premature, i was wondering what's the method used to strip klasse off the car? i know a dawn wash will strip my wax, but will it take off the klasse too? or will i have to do mulitple klasse washes? try another product (p21s total auto wash, efhi) to remove all the klasse...

i know that 303 doesnt give a "shiny/glossy" finish like vinylex. my question is which lasts longer? i am thinking of switching to 303 because vinylex has silicone in it and 303 doesnt. and i've read that silicone is bad for rubber and vinyl in the long run. other than silicone vs water based...

i know it's fairly common practice to add a caranuba topcoat when using klasse. i was wondering has anyone put a topcoat of caranuba on top of zaino? is there any benefit (depth, shine, etc) to topping zaino like there is topping klasse? will the caranuba apply without hazing over the zaino...

okay, so i'm new at this. when applying klasse you have to let it cure. so my question is this: to all of you who applied 5 coats of aio or sg or whatever the numbers and combinations, did you do the coats on successive days? weeks? like suppose i do two coats (1 aio 1 sg) over two days. should...
