    Fellas, I just want to give a heads up on a purchase the other day at Barnes n' Nobles. This book gave me some good tips I have not seen here on Autopia. The Book's name is, "Ultimate Auto Detailing Projects" by David Jacobs Jr. I paid about $20.00.

    Calif. Car Duster, which one?

    CMA has the original for sale and Pep Boys, K-Mart has a different one. They are both more or less the same price at $20.00. I know the original has thicker, longer bristles and appears to be of better quailty. The original is also heavier due to the wooden handle(arthritic shoulder?). What...

    Which one, the PC7336 at Lowes or 7424 at CMA?

    I own two cheap buffers I bought from Sears and they just turn in circles. I've never owned a rotary and you guys speak very highly of them. Are they that much better than a basic cheapo buffer? I checked out the PC7336 at Lowes and it is kinda heavy and the special velcro pads can get...

    Are the "real" Zymol estate waxes any good?

    I know it's been argued a million times and I did the search stuff. I'm lookin at trying something different. Are the Zymol waxes any good for the money? It's not cheap, like the Concourse or Japon or carbon stuff? Is the depth or warmth any better than say Gold Class or S100? Where's the...

    Pro Honda cleaner and polish?

    I have a bunch of these bottles leftover from my sportbike. It supposed to clean, polish and protect but it says it contains "petroleum distillates" too. Would this be bad to use as QD to carnaba or Z? Thanks

    S100 paint cleaner or polish, yes or no?

    I can't seem to get a straight answer on this stuff. I have S100 so is it important to also use their polish before I wax? Thanks a bunch.

    Zaino or S100?

    I never can seem to see my Zaino when I apply it to my black SS. I'm thinking about changing to S100. What do you guys think? Can I interchange the two together? I tried S100 on a side panel and it goes on easy and comes off like a breeze. Please advise. Thanks
