With the CDN dollar nearing .85 U.S. and climbing. I thinking since some cars in American dollars are proportionately lower than the CDN price what taxes would I be paying if I bought in the U.S. For example I live in toronto and the price of a 350Z is about 46K (for base model) plus 15% tax...

So I was at Costco today and bought some prepackaged Black Diamond plums. I get home and proceed to eat one when I notice on the package the following "coated with food grade vegetables and\or petroleum based wax to maintain freshness" :eek: I did notice how nicely the plums shone and...

Just got my P21s today and first thing I thought was "what a great little applicator, just fits perfectly for the jar" and after some retrospection I then thought "Yeah great for the 1st application but what the hell do I use after since all the pads I have are bigger " :hm How many uses can...

Every wax(or sealant) has it's own shine characteristics as well as QD's be it reflectiveness, richness, depth, wetness warmth etc. If you put on a fresh layer of wax than a week or 2 later you wash your car and finish with a QD, which shine are you gonna get? Does the QD just bring out your wax...

It looks like I'm gonna try #16 as a topper for my SG now that Chris at eshine will make it readily available. As I find it hard to wash my car without finishing up with a QD (using Sonus for my SG, great product) to maintain gloss. Need some recommendations for a good QD to maintain my #16...

What 's the weirdest place you've found a car care product that you couldn't figure out why it was being sold there and were you happy to find it there since you couldn't find it anywhere else? For me it was Zaino(after a tip from a fellow Autopian) in a barber shop in a mall. They had...

Need some recommendations for a topper to use on my silver daily driver that has AIO\SG x3 already on there. I've narrowed it to Natty's and P21s. What should I use based on appearance, durability and ease of use. I know P21s is non-staining and easy to use, is Natty's the same? Also is...

So I was parking in the street today and I was putting money into the meter as this elderly Greek woman (I'm of Greek descent so I know my accents and the area is predominantly Greek not that it really matters where she's from) walks by. She says in broken english "You have beautiful car, so...

We went to a friends house tonite to have dinner. We finish eating and I have to go get something from the car and to my horror there are about 10 kids playing in the vicinity of my car parked in their driveway.:scared I give the car the once over and no scratches. I get back inside and find...

On the weekend I did a simple detail for a friend's dark grey metallic Tribute. It's about a year old but this guy doesn't take care of his car like an Autopian. He thinks the 2 bucket method is just in case the 1st bucket starts leaking, then you got a backup. I figured there would be some...

Y'know I almost can understand the typical door dinger. They swing thier door open, and due to the lack of brain cells, they misjudge the distance and "kapow", even though I'm sure they've done it time and time again, ignorance is bliss. Sometimes the kids are the culprits but hey they're kids...

A couple of days ago I get to my car and I find this huge brown bird crap on my rear windshield. It couldn't have been there more than an hour. I get home and this thing is like cemented on so I take the hose and try to loosen it up for like 15 minutes, no dice. I spray about half a gallon of QD...

OK what's the most amount of layers you've applied to the same car. I'm talking #'s as well in what time frame and product. I'm ready to be impressed :eek: and this board has been kinda slow lately.

Thinking about getting a WW from Ranney. It's 25 x 36. Is that enough to dry an average sized car or should I get 2. I have a Mazda 6. Should I wash and care for it the same way I do for regular MF as in wash alone and hang dry.

Have 3 coats of SG on as of last week. Washed the car with P21S shampoo today and noticed that much of the slickness was gone from the car. Should I be concerned? I know SG is not known for it's slickness but a week seems kind of soon. Car still sparkles though and the beading/sheeting is still...

So what are these sealants that various dealers use on new cars and charge an arm and a leg for and claim to last 3 years with no waxing. My buddy just bought a new car and got conned into it along with the rustproofing and fabric protection. :doh He thinks it's a special sealant...

I don't know about you guys but I like to detail alone, no distractions, no kids, no nothing. Rained all holiday weekend and finally let up this afternoon and I had a 2 hour window to wash, add coat of SG with no distractions. Finished the washing and just starting SG when my yappy...

I've been searching this site to find out exactly what the 2 bucket washing method is with no luck. My educated guess is that you got 2 buckets(1 for washing, 1 for rinsing). You wash a panel with the first bucket and rinse the dirt in the second and start to the next panel. The only problem...

So my silver car, freshly done with clay, AIO + SGx2 is parked in a lot under some trees and the reflection left me breathless. I'm thinking all those hours of pampering it since new (it's now a year old) and minimal swirls has finally paid off and I get to enjoy the fruit of my labours. :cool...

OK I'll be looking for a fun car in the future but since I'll be anal on how the paint looks I want some opinions from you all regarding the colour. Specifically regarding marring and swirl marks (dirt I can handle since it will be washed often). Just want something that wouldn't be high...
