I am getting extremely frustrated at this point. I recently purchased some un-coated polished aluminum wheels for my Jeep. Well when I first got them they were very dull looking and lacked that luster. I have previously had polished aluminum wheels before and know that they can shine. I have...

I just recieved my new non-clearcoated polished aluminum wheels for my Jeep. When they first arrived I noticed little dots on the majority of the wheels that you could only see when up close. They certainly distorted the clarity of the metal. I tried breaking out my PC with some PPP and that...

I really hate breaking out the hose and all that good stuff just for my RWL's on my tires. I have minimized washing my car so much by using S&W and S&G, but I need a good plan on cleaning my RWLs. I finally got the chance to try some BNB and Im in love with it, but even though the shine is...

While in town I decided to check out whats new at Big Lots and came across a really nice sized (4 gallon) car wash bucket with a grit guard. It was made by Black Magic and looked very sturdy. It had a handle on each side that you lifted up to carry it. Killer thing was...it was only 3.99! I...

Im getting so annoyed with my tires at this point. It used to be so simple dressing my low profile tires, but im grown up and have a Grand Cherokee now. Im having a problem finding an applicator that does not fall apart the instance it touches my tires. I have RWL tires for one thing, but the...

After a few months of putting aside my detailing arsenal and focusing on moving out of my parents home, starting back college, Im back. I finally had enough time to do a full detail on my Jeep and boy did it feel good. Brought back many memories and really made me miss detailing so much...

I bought a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 V8 about 2 months ago. Well I found out the car was a 1 owner Jeep from West Virginia. There was a lot of rust underneath, but overall the Jeep is in great condition minus the salt from the roads and the rust. Well obviously the owner put it through...

Well today my headlights finally got on my nerves to the point where I decided to wetsand them. I started out with 800 and moved to 1000. Well after many goes with that combination, I noticed it hadnt done much to the headlights. It cleared them up some, but there were still a lot of weird...

Well i think the time has come to get rid of my beloved Firebird and get something bigger. Im trying to get a 1999-2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I started thinking today how am I going to afford to put Wolfgang on my Cherokee tires all the time? So I decided to ask others what they use for larger...

Ok well about a year ago I bought a Pioneer MP3 player for my car (7600 model i believe). Well everything was going fine until one day I was driving down the street and all of a sudden it went out. The cd player is on and running but no sound is coming out. I started to drive back home and i...

Today I decided to go to Target with my girlfriend and she hesitantly asked "do you want to look at the car stuff". Of course I had to say "duh"! Well as I got to the aisle I noticed some new looking bottles and at first I thought it was the new Mothers products, but it wasnt. It was some...

Ok so today I decided to do my monthly washing of MF's and applicators. I was my MFs and Foam Applicators together in the washing machine using the proper technique of course. I threw them in the dryer when my stepdad comes walking in. And being the guy he is has to have his nose in...

I was wondering what the major differences are between using an APC diluted on wheels/tires as compared to A2Z? Reason for asking is that using an APC is very cost effective and can be used for a lot of other things such as carpets and such.

I have always used the yellow foam applicator pads from Big Lots (4 for a buck). Well after examing my paint after polishing under light there was no marring or scratches. I then put a coat of wax on with the applicator and didnt think about checking the paint again. Today I had to get...

After reading the thread on Zaino Tire Dressing I started thinking how effective Megs Endurance (High Gloss) would be if diluted with a little water. The reason why I hate Endurance so much is because its way too thick and its hard to layer IMO. If diluted with water I would believe it would...

I got a sample a while back for some Black Jack Black Again exterior trim cleaner and it was absolutely awesome. Its been several weeks in rain and is still holding up like no other. My trim still looks like it was just applied and I was extremely pleased and excited about this product. After...

One of my front floor mats has visible wear in the center and its turning almost white. The original color is a charcoal almost black. Instead of buying new floor mats I thought about the posibility of dying it. I remember a while back browsing through Advanced Auto I saw a spray can for...

Ok before ExcelDetail (Patrick) recieved an assortment of cutting pads he had 2 pads..polishing and finishing. When he recieved the new cutting pads, things got kind of cloudy for me and I found it hard to distinguish which pad did what. So after talking with Eliot Ness and Patrick I decided...

After doing a few friends car, I decided that using the Poorboys SSR lineup was too time consuming as well and pricey to get the look I want. SSR 2.5 did not impress me much either. I have seen a few posts about Megs #80 Speed Glaze and I hear a lot about how its perfect for customer cars...

Im trying to take off my exhaust tips to polish them up nicely. They are put on by a clamp that I can take off. Once the clamps are off, I can not take it off the pipe. Ive put a flat head in between the 2 and tried to bang it off...no luck. Now I want to try PB Blaster or something like...
