    Anyone still use Meguiar's #34 Final Inspection?

    I'm looking to buy a gallon of a new QD and haven't seen any recent posts of #34. It costs $22/gal and I can pick it up from the local auto body supply shop. Do the other QD's do a better job than Final Inspection? Clear Kote Quik Shine Optimum Instant Detailer Optimum Car Wax Finish...

    How do you tell a body shop to fix swirls they caused?

    My sister has a black 2004 Ininfity G35 sedan that was in an accident this past winter. The rear quarter panel on the driver side was hit and they held the car for almost 1.5 months. They did the repair for $11000 and this place is supposed to be one of the best in the area. She was out of town...

    Folex users, what section of Target is it at?

    Last night I stopped by my local Target store to see how much it was but I couldnt find it. I went to their detergent section, auto section, and where they kept the house steam machines but didnt see it anywhere. TIA

    #82 Swirl Free Polish shelf life?

    I bought #81, #82, and #83 a little over a year ago and they had been sitting for almost a year. When I went to go see if they were ok last week, the DACP and Hand Polish was fine (still creamy) but the Swirl Free Polish was really wattery. I shook up the bottle and a few minutes but that didnt...

    Here we go again. Question about new paint.

    A friend of mine wants me to do an exterior detail on her car, but she just got it painted a month ago.

    Zep Professional Sprayer

    Exact opposite of my Meguiars Mirror Glaze Sprayer. I just got it an hour ago from Home Depot and filled it up with water to test it. From start to end, this sprayer puts out a very good fine mist. Although kinda expensive ($4), I think its worth it when you need the liquid to mist onto a...

    Meguiars Mirror Glaze Spray Bottle.

    I got this a few weeks ago along with a gallon of Meguiars #34 Final Inspection. This is probably the worst sprayer ive worked with. When you squeeze the bottle lightly, the FI just drips out the nozzle. It doesnt matter if the head is twisted tight, or left loose. It also does this when...

    Well I was detailing my friends truck on Friday and didnt finish (no pics :( ). It was in the high 30's that day and pretty windy.
