    Advice on Optimum OS and OCW

    I've used the original version of OS a few years ago and eventually changed to using Prima Hydro-Seal.  I see that OS now has a version 2 and some people are saying it's pretty good.   A quick background.  I have a brand new F150 that's dark gray metallic.  I realize it's not a Porsche, but...

    Anyone use new Prima Hydro MAX?

    Can anyone share their experience with Prima Hyrdo MAX?  I'm a big fan of Hydro Seal and wondering where this products fits.  Is it a replacement for Hydro Seal or is it more of a QD or spray sealant to use between coats of Hyrdro Seal?  Is it to be used when drying the vehicle like Hyrdro or...

    Metal hose cart to mount a CR spotless too???

    Has anyone found a high-quality hose cart? I'd like to find a 4-wheel hose cart that I could somehow mount a CR spotless (or similar filter system) to so I can haul the entire system around, just hook to a water hose, and be on my way. Has anyone done this yet? Or has anyone at least found a...

    What's the best TIRE cleaner?

    I know there's a lot of good tire cleaners (because it takes something strong), but some of that stuff I don't think I really want getting on my wheels. Is there a recommended tire cleaner that's still ok to get on the wheels. What's everybody found works good? Just don't want to use Simple Green.

    HD Touch compare to FK425 or others?

    I've always used FK425 or Optimum's QD. Those are the best I've found so far. Is this HD Touch any better? Just wondering since it's a "waterless wash" also. Any other recommendations of the best QD are also appreciated.

    What sealant for dark gray metallic?

    With so many LSP sealants out there...I just needed to ask if there was a favorite on dark gray metallic (Ford Sterling Gray) in this case. The last thing I used was hydroseal, which is certainly easy, and I like how it's easy to get into all the cracks and crevices. Beyond that...is there a...

    What wheel cleaner on polished wheels?

    I have a new F150 Platinum that has the polished aluminum wheels. I don't know if they have a coating (clearcoat) of some sort or not. On painted/cleared wheels, I've always used something basic like Simple Green to clean my tires, and it always gets on the wheels too. I'm afraid that product...

    What's better than P21S on dark, metallic gray?

    I have a sterling gray Ford. I like to use a carnuba product so I can get depth and reflection. As a side note, I use Prima HydroSeal on my other silver and while vehicles, and I love it. Although it doesn't last as long, I don't mind waxing, so I use the carnuba on my dark gray. I've...

    Nanoskin Autoscrub Towel

    I got one for Christmas, and I must say that it's the single best product I've ever used. I've used alot (I mean alot) of different products, and I'm always willing to try something new. Due to the cost of the Autoscrub towel, I was very hesitant...but I must say that it's amazing. Usually it...

    What can I put over Opti-Seal

    Just got a new Dodge Durango that's Stone White. Because it's been very, very hot...the day it was purchased, I clayed and put 3 coats of Opti-Seal on it (24hrs apart). Now that I can spend some time in the garage, is it ok to apply other sealants over the Opti-Seal? And do all of you like...

    Detailing Stool???

    I'm looking for a detailing stool. Anybody know where I can get one or what type is the best? I'd like one that has adjustable height for working at lower levels and then being able to move up to window height. My garage has a fairly smooth floor, so a caster setup would be nice for getting...

    Lighting experts...how about flourscent can lights?

    For my garage makeover...I'm wondering...what about flourscent can lights? Everybody has the surface mount or flush mount 4' and 8' stuff. Why don't I see any 8" T-5 can lights? These lights put out a 6'+ spead and are much brighter than the regular styles. They also don't waste light on the...

    What's the BIGGEST and best microfiber towel?

    I'm always ordering microfiber towels for drying my car, and they always end up much smaller than I like. Who makes the BIGGEST drying towel out there? Of course it has to be a good one, and I prefer the waffle-weave. But I want big, so I can just use one towel for the entire car.

    Shamwow! - Don't post unless you've used.

    I've been trying to find out if anyone has actually used the Shamwow. I see a few posts on here, but it's just everyone talking about how they wouldn't use them and how bad the commercial is (which I agree). I just want to know if anyone has actually used them on a car and liked them...and...

    I'd like to see some pics of the light you all are using in your garage. Not as much your portable lights, but your permanant fixtures. Show me your spots, floods, Fluorescent, canned, recessed, track, or whatever lights you've found that work really well for detailing.

    Grout Sponge doesn't scratch???

    I got a grout sponge for my ONR, because people seem to like them on here. I pre-spray ONR on the panel before wiping w/ ONR and sponge. The GS seemed harsh sounding (scratchy) as I used it. My car is silver, so I don't see anything wrong, but the sound and feel was different that anything...

    Best way to apply ONR as a wash?

    I've just started using ONR. My vehicle is silver, so it's hard to tell if there's any marring. I was wonder what everybody is using to do the ONR wipe...sheepskin mit, schmitt, microfiber towel, chenile mit, grout sponge, etc, etc. What's the best way? I saw a post from SuperBee about...
