I have a big rust problem with my new MDX which I noticed the second week after purchasing, also, I've found many other problems (look at the second last post). It's suppose to be a car case not a detailing case but since I'm in autopia, I couldn't resist mention it in a bigger forum. I don't...

How long does it take you to wash a mid size SUV?? I wash and dry it all by myself so it's a one man job everytime. It took me nearly two and a half hour just to wash and dry a Acura MDX :eek:. I even use the CWB and I'm still so slow!! Not sure if I'm taking too long, how long does it take you??

I have a Acura MDX which is a mid size SUV, I use a CWB and a Pakshak WW to dry the car. In the thread "quite disappointed about WW" that I made, there are many different opinion, some said a mid size SUV needs two WW to dry and some said you only need one. If I use a CWB people said I only need...

I'm quite a newb with MFs so bare with me here. I got my MFs 2 weeks ago, it's been washed 3 times (after I got it, first and second car wash). After the third wash I notice that the back of the Pakshak Ultra fine MF isn't as plush as new, also with my cheat $1 MFs. What I notice when I wash...

I don't know if this has been discussed before but what's the difference between those two?? Is NXT shinier than #40 if I apply them on the tires or exterior trim?? I don't want it to be way too shiny on exterior trims but I want a matte to low gloss finish on tires.

Everyone here said WW are the best drying towel there is on the market but I was quite disappointed yesterday to find out that it moves water rather than absorbing it! It did absorbed some of the water but what is does is mostly moving it around or smearing the finish. I used my WW, CWB and my...

You can buy a car wash shampoo for less than $8 (NXT wash - 64oz) or you buy a car wash shapoo that costs you $8.95 (Sonax gloss shampoo - 16oz). Both are autopian standard and they don't strip wax. What's the difference anyway?? Why do people spend so much for it when you can get one that is...
