Okay, so the wifey mobile has a mound of what looked like pterodactyl poop on the hood and of course, wifey let it bake onto the hood for about 9 hours before I saw it when I got home from work. I immediately washed it off and whipped out my gear (which is my limited resources). I tried...

I just made an impromptu visit to my in-laws in Michigan and when I got there, I discovered that I had a package waiting for me, which included Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax and Pinnacle Souveran. (I won't get into how I came into these products other than to say, once again someone in the...

I'm swapping out my summer wheels and tires for my winter wheels and tires (yes a cold reality for those of us who live in the Botswanian part of Canada) but thought I'd pick some brains on my winter wheel care/summer wheel storage. What I had planned to do was give my summer tires a good old...

I'm getting a bit of wiper chatter from the driver side wiper near the bottom on my IS and I'm not sure, what, if anything, I can do about it? I think the culprit would (have) to be Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax which I use on all of my windows on the IS. I've never used RainX or any other...

I'm a bit curious as to what most of you who have used BF Wet Diamond will say on the subject. As most know, Wet Diamond is my favorite LSP and everytime I use it, I am amazed at the shine, and depth that I think it gives my cars. I know the consensus says that sealants often lack the depth of...

Just curious, because I was on another site and anytime anyone does a "shine and show" with their ride and they use ######### Wet Diamond as their LSP, they get a bunch # signs. I'm thinking of putting up a phony shine and show and for my LSP, I'm going to say I used "Fah King ######### Wet...

What are the chances that PAC will carry Leather Masters? I don't see anyone really selling it, so I'm wondering if it is like the Zaino deal? I've heard a lot of good things about the stuff and figured it might be a good seller.

I've already done one review of Z2Pro and I'm not posting pictures of wifey's CR-V (again), so I just thought I'd put up some of my impressions. I followed some of the tips I got here about spraying my applicator with Z6 and removing it with Z6 etc... I am now 100% convinced that Zaino is...

I wanted to share a PM I got at the Meguiars site from a very nice young guy who needed some help with detailing his truck. He had a pretty good base knowledge but wanted to try some specific Meguiars products that he could not get his hands on in Canada. One of the products he wanted was M21...

I spend a lot of time on detailing forums (mainly TID and MOL) but others as well and I was trying to think what was my favorite part about such forums. At first it was probably the amount of information I was learning, then it was the in depth details by many of the pros, but now my single...

So, I'm over reading at autogeek tonight and I see that Mike has finally started posting and (to his credit) he gets a question about tire shine products and he lists pretty much every Meg's product for the answer. I give him lots of respect for that response (which is a good starting point to...

Tim Lingor turned 87 today and he's still detailing like a champ! Well done Tim, keep it up! His new business slogan is: "Been detailing since the great depression". Carry on old chap and have a happy birthday!!! :devil: (Oh, for your yankees... Tim also lives in Soviet Canuckistan, so...

As some of you know, it can be difficult to get all the same detailing products in Canada, as you have in the USA. Luckily there are two online vendors that carry Blackfire products for those who don't have US mailing addresses like myself. In any event, we (Canucks) are always on the lookout...

I am starting to read from people on various fora that they do not believe M205 leaves the finish "LSP ready". That is to say, the have to usually follow M205 with something like 3M Ultrafina to really make the paint perfect. My question is really to the seasoned pros both rotary and DA user...

So, I have a bit of a bug up my behind regarding detailing forums and I'm going to vent. As you can tell by the amount of posts I put up, I really enjoy detailing forums (by in large) but they are not without their problems, so I am going to site the issues I have with certain forums. I...

So, I finally got around to using Zaino (Z2Pro + ZFX) today on the IS350 and I figured I'd share my thoughts.... Okay, lets start with the ugly... The only thing ugly was me. So, getting that out of the way, we can get to the important stuff. I'm going to go over my regimen today to give you...

So, what are they? What are the most common misconceptions, myths, half-truths or fabrications in the detailing world. I think my single biggest turn off has always been over the top, outlandish claims. "Wax X will last two years and provides a rock hard shell". That one ticks me off on a...

So, I just pulled a trade with Mikejl and I snagged some Midnight Sun from him. First thing I should say is that Mike is one of those guys that is all class. He happens to be a total computer genius and helped me with my home wireless network last year and now he pulls this trade with me and...

This Saturday looks like is going to be the "try Zaino" day for me and I'm debating on whether I should try it on my white IS350 or on my good friend's silver Mercedes E55 AMG. The E55 AMG is a beast of a car (469hp + 516lbs of torque at 2650 rpm) but will take me MUCH longer than my IS...

So, I'm in Michigan visiting my wife's parents and her family are all employees of either the big three or a Tier 1 supplie to the big three. Obviously, they are all LOYAL to American car brands. Meanwhile, my wife and I own a Honda and a Lexus and our car choices have cause "heated"...
