    Any home theater buffs?

    I'm looking for a recommendation on equipment. I'm not actually a home theater fan, per se, because I listen to 95% 2 channel audio (music.) I am going to be picking up a set of Klipsch RF-7 speakers (I love Klipsch sound) to replace my cheap Infinity Studio Monitors but am a little concerned...

    PB's SS&S vs. TOL Bubble Bath

    How do these two washed compare in terms of cleansing, harshness, scent, gloss, etc? I know they are both spoken highly of, and I just ordered some Bubble Bath, but don't want to order any SS&S if it's going to overlap and be the same kind of product as the TOL.

    Anyone elses UPP smell like rotten eggs?

    I searched but didn't find any mention of it. I always like to take a wiff of my products before using them, and boy was I in for it when taking a nice big wiff of this one. I actually got a free 4 oz. sample from Pakshak a little while back (although I already had a full bottle on the shelf...

    Favorite brand of PC pads?

    I have really only had experience with the Meg's 6.5" velcro backed pads. They do a good enough job but I'm always looking for better products. I have seen mention of other brands that I am not familiar with. I'm looking to get some velcro backed polishing and finishing pads. What does...

    OP dispenser is SO frustrating

    I polished my GTO with Optimum Polish today via PC and a polishing pad. The polish itself worked great, but the dispenser on the bottle has GOT to go. It either spits out a huge blob of polish on the pad or nothing at all (then it's shake, shake, shake) to get it flowing again, just to get...

    Gentle car wash for carnauba?

    I am looking to start topping EX-P with Natty's Blue and am looking for a car wash that is gentle enough not to strip the carnauba off. I know Pinnacle car wash has a reputation for being kind of harsh, as does Meguiar's Gold Class. I currently own the following shampoos: EO Wet Meg's...

    Poorboy's S&G + Zaino = streaks

    I cannot, for the life of me, use these two products together without streaking. Try as I might, S&G always streaks on the hood of my car when I'm using it over Z2Pro and I never get any further than that before getting frustrated and switching over to Quikshine or Z6. I wonder if S&G has a...

    I'm not understanding using VM/RMG under a sealant

    I see people using VM/EX-P/Nattys, etc. all the time, but I was under the impression that VM was a glaze that left a lot of oils/fillers behind, and was primarily meant to be used under a Carnauba (CMW, etc.) Wouldn't a pure sealant like EX-P or UPP not bond to a surface just gone over with...

    What kind of applicator pad for applying sealant?

    I was wondering what most people are using to apply their sealants by hand. I have MF applicator pads and foam pads. I know the foam pads are great for waxing, but what about applying a sealant? My bottle of 4* UPP says to apply two dime size drops to a foam pad. I always just assumed the...

    4* UGE smells just like Sonus Acrylic Spritz

    Okay, so I know this is a lame topic, but am I just imagining things, or do these two smell IDENTICAL? I haven't used the UGE yet, but the Sonus was one of my favorite QDs. Okay, I feel better now :woot:

    Is prep different for a wax than a sealant?

    I am used to doing proper prep for applying a sealant, as I never got real big into carnaubas (although they are starting to interest me more and more). I always polish (abrasive if necessary) to remove swirls and get as close to a perfect finish as possible by varying pads/abrasiveness. Then...

    Buy one Souveran paste, get one FREE

    Just wanted to point out that Autogeek is running this promotion right now. What's the deal lately? They have been running some amazing deals over there. Now is the time to buy if you want Souveran. :woot: The extra jar would make a great gift.... tis almost the season you know.

    EX vs. EX-P

    I am going to order Natty's Blue and was wondering which of these two sealants would be best under it on my dark metallic blue GTO. I'm too lazy to search, and am in a hurry. What are the pros and cons of each? If I'm going to be topping with a carnauba, I assume I would want the EX. If...

    What kinds of cars have you owned?

    This is always interesting to me, seeing what kinds of cars interest people and their progression through different vehicles. I'll start off. 1994 Ford F-150 1998 Mustang GT 2000 Camaro SS 2001 GMC Sierra 2001 Grand Am GT - school car 2002 Corvette Coupe 2003 SVT Cobra 2004 Corvette...

    How about a Z5 type product to use with UPP?

    I've got the itch to try some new products, so I'm going to give UPP a try on one of my cars. I am going to polish with Optimum, prep with AIO, then seal probably two or three times with UPP, possibly adding a layer of carnauba down the road. My question is this. I always, no matter how...

    Want the best buffing towel period?

    You gotta get a Concours Buffing Towel. This thing makes removing any sealant/wax a breeze and it's oh so soft. I actually look forward to removing my Zaino now.. it's no longer a chore. :bigups on this towel.

    Is Klasse AIO beneficial under a sealant besides SG?

    I just ordered some 4* UPP and Optimum Polish. I am going to try these products out together and was wondering if a coat of Klasse AIO would be beneficial after the Optimum and before the UPP. It seems it would be best applied directly over the freshly polished surface for proper bonding, but...

    Ordering 2006 C6 Coupe

    Yes, I know, it's not a Z06 with 505 hp, but I can't swing a $70K car right now. Plus, I really like the removable targa roof on the coupe, and 400 hp is nothing to scoff at. I am still torn between Machine Silver, Monterey Red, and Lemans Blue, all of which are metallic. I am going with...

    What is the forum's favorite swirl remover/polish?

    Considering I will be using a PC7424, polishing pad/cutting pad. For general swirl cutting/polishing, what is the most user friendly polish? I am interested in Z-PC Fusion, PB SSR1 and SSR2.5, Menzerna IP and FPII. Are there others that are better that I am not aware of?

    Just fell in love with S&W

    I got an order in today from Autogeek consisting of Poorboys World Wheel Sealant, Spray and Wipe, Bug Squash, and the Pinnacle bug and tar sponge. My GTO was slightly dusty as it was washed Monday evening, QD'd yesterday with Z6, and driven around town for about 30 minutes. It was about 95...
