    Viking MF mitt...

    I picked one of these up at Autozone for $2.99. It is nice and thick. It seems to clean the surface well, holds lots of soapy water and rinses out pretty well. I have some looped MF mitts and like the Viking mitt much better. I'm considering retiring the sheepskin and using the viking mitts. At...

    Megs CG wash...

    It seems to me this product has a bit of a sheeting action to it. Is that so or is it our hard water?

    Duragloss 111 test...

    David B's sample test thread got me thinking. So I grabbed a piece of plexiglass and applied some Duragloss 111 sealant without the polish bonding agent. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and wiped it off. I then allowed it to cure for about 30 minutes. I washed the panel with Fantastick several...

    swirls have you discouraged?

    don't feel bad. In fact feel really good about your detailing. Even the worst beginners take heart. I was watching a local car show on tv and they showed the rarest Shelby AC Cobra in existance. It was 1 of 2, 427 twin supercharged 800+ hp Cobras. This one was originally owned by Carol Shelby...

    Z5Pro question...

    First of all let me publically thank Zane for sending me 2 ounces of Z5Pro. Are the fillers that are in Z5Pro permanent or will they wash away? I hope to use this soon on my NMB WS6 but have been battling back issues since Easter.

    acryllic vs cross linking poymer...

    maybe David B can chime in. What are the advantages/ disagvantages of each system? The only thing I've read is that some manufacturers claim that acryllic can a bit brittle. I know that manufacturers claim that polymers can penetrate the pores of the paint-can acryllic do the same?

    Duragloss Leather conditioner....

    figured what the heck, so I picked up the duragloss leather conditioner to try. I applied it 3 times to some fairly stiff leather in my TA and it did soften the leather. I also used it on my moms leather car seats. It soaks in and leaves a natural, non greasy finish. Overall I'd say it's a...

    testing durability...

    I think I figured a way to test durability. I applied two products to a piece of rough plastic. One was a full synthetic the other was a blend. I allowed them to cure for about an hour. I took the plastic and sprayed it with 409, wiped it around to simulate a wash and rinsed. I did this 5 times...

    Duragloss Aquawax...

    I picked up a bottle today and tried it on a panel on our pewter van. I sprayed it directly on the panel and did a WOWO. It producted a very nice glossy shine with good depth, sharp reflections, great metallic pop and a slick surface. I applied it over 5 month old collinite 845. At $8 for 22...

    QEW as a spray and wipe ....

    I've mixed up some QEW in a QD bottle-an ounce or two per bottle and use it for bird bombs. It seems to work fairly well. I haven't noticed any micromarring. I let it sit for a few seconds before wiping it. The soap content must be fairly strong as it dissolves bird bombs pretty effectively...

    I'll start. SEAL ALL -a multipurpose glue that can be found at WalMart. It can be used reglue pads and for odd jobs. I even used it to fix trim on a convertible top. What are some others?

    Is Z5...

    99 plus percent optically clear like Z2Pro? The reason I ask is it seems to have a darker, less reflective look then Z2Pro.

    rethinking silicone.....

    I know silicone has been debated several times-and we know that there is a difference between silicone oils and silicone polymers. Some people are under the impression that silicone polymers are a low cost, low quality ingredient. I found something quite interesting. Plasti-Kote mades a HI- TEMP...
