    Wet sanding primer

    I am about to tackle my new boat, a 1996 Bayliner Cierra 2655. Basically, it is in pretty good shape, but I want to polish and seal it. My question regarding wet sanding is how to go about it; is this a process done with a PC (I have one - quite a bit of car detailing experience) or is it a...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian members. As everyone knows (or maybe doesn't know), Thanksgiving is a celebration of a bountiful harvest and dates back to the Pilgrims early arrival in America (befor there were actual countries here). Since Canada's climate is more severe than that...

    Acronym Change

    Okay. So I have some time on my hands and thought I would see if I can cause some trouble here. It's about an acronym - more specifically, the acronym for 'microfiber'. Currently, the use of "MF" is automatically (usually) associated with microfiber. However, it also has other connotations...

    Windshield marring

    My black beauty, 2000 Accord, was previously owned by a salesman who put a lot of highway miles on it. The windshield has picked up a LOT of very small rock chips. They cannot normally be seen except when driving into the sun or at night in oncoming lights. Except for all these 'scars' the...

    Best Rotary??

    I asked this question over on DC - I'm just trying to cover all the bases so don't shoot me. I have decided to take the plunge and buy a rotary. There seems to be a lot to choose from, but like everything else, I am sure that there are some preferred packages. I think I would like a...

    Best Rotary??

    I have decided to take the plunge and buy a rotary, so I can play with the big boys. There seems to be a lot on the market - what is a popular brand & model amongst the DC fraternity?

    Another Leather Question

    I have an Accord with leather interior. Except it's not ALL leather, right? Some of the seat is leather and some isn't? Am I right about this?? So, here's my question. How do I clean and treat? How do I tell where the leather ends and the vinyl begins? Will it hurt the vinyl to clean and...

    Muffler/Tailpipe extension

    I know it has probably been on here a thousand times, but can anyone tell me how to get a muffler and tailpipe extension looking clean and shiny. I have a 2000 Accord and the muffler sags down under the rear bumper like it was a designer's afterthought. I love the car, but this has to be...

    QD Problem

    Hope this doesn't sound like a knock against Megs, but I just finished QD'ing my black beauty with Megs QD (over EX-P) and, to my utter dismay, the finish seemed to be cloudy and dull. To be certain, I put on another layer of EX-P on half my trunk deck, and sure enough, the Megs side was...

    Wash Liquid

    I am firmly convinced that there is little, if any, real difference between the different brands of car wash liquids available in the market today. There is usually some kind of sale on some kind or other brand whenever you go into Walmart, Target, or whatever and buying the cheapest thing...

    Shredding Pads

    Help!! I have just ruined two white pads!!##$$ They both tore around the velcro pad on the back. Don't know what I did wrong, but wasn't doing anything 'rugged' in either case. Had them on my PC and believe the damage may have occured when I was running at '6' using SSR1 (in both cases)...

    Layering Poorboys and stuff

    I know this had been discussed (maybe to death), but I can't remember the advice. Can Poorboys EX-P be layered? and if so, what is the wait/cure time? Also, can EX-P be topped with EX? Also, again, does anyone know the reason for the recommended 60 minute wait time before removing PPP? Just...
