    Collinite On my Z (pics)

    I got around to putting a coat of Collinite #885 on my Z today. I liked my water beading results from my test so I topped my 2 layers of FMJ with it. After having done the entire car, I found that it is not as difficult to use as I had first thought. The key is to wipe it off before it fully...

    Collinite VS Natty Test (pics)

    I just received my can of Collinite #885 Fleetwax. For those of you who haven't read the other recent threads, this is the exact same wax as the #476 Super Doublecoat (its just a better value in 12 OZ fleetwax can). I know that Collinite has a reputation for durability and amazing water...

    Long Throw DA polishers?

    Anyone ever hear of this? I found this information from the CMA website... Anyone ever hear about or use these professional long throw dual action machines? Sounds like a terrific idea, that is, to have the throw of the machine be longer to increase the work it does.

    Interior protectants leave film on glass?

    I put some 303 on my dash board and all the vinyl about 2 weeks ago and now there is a white cloudy film on the inside of my windshield. This happens everytime I put it on but I've also noticed this effect with other interior protectants. I assume that the product is evaporating over time and...

    Detailer's Pride Gloss Tire Dressing

    Has anyone ever tried this product? I've never used anything from Detailer's Pride before and it really isn't talked about much on DC. How does everyone like Detailer's Pride, specifically, the Gloss Tire Dressing?

    NXT wash vs. GC wash

    I currently use Gold Class as my main wash. It's very economical and is a good product IMO. I haven't, however, tried the NXT wash so I was curious as to how they compare? Has anyone used both of them? Whats the difference between them? Thanks in advance.

    My Hi-Temp Grape Experience

    I used the grape tire dressing for the first time the other day. First off, let me start by saying that I DON'T like the smell. Many other people have commented that it smells good, but I disagree. But, smell isn't very important in a tire dressing so I am not overly concerned with it. The...

    Best Carpet Cleaner?

    I detailed an old Mercedes last week and I cleaned the carpet with Eiman Fabrik Spot Remover. It does a great job getting them clean, as I have used it in the past. The problem is, when I was done, the gray carpeting had a purple tint to it!!! It definately affected the color. So, what does...

    BNB or TR for tires?

    Which one looks best on tires? I use BNB all the time and its great, but are there any advantages to TR? Do you guys find that one lasts longer or shines more than the other? Also, does TR sling?
