    Durable Leather Treatment???

    I love to put leather conditioner on my seats (which are black BTW) to help make them darker in color and add a little extra gloss. My problem is that after sitting in them for only a short period of time, the gloss wears off and they go back to looking like the used to. Any tips on getting...

    Old Poorboys Products

    I just received a shipment of PB from Specialty Motoring (I used them because they have clearkote and because they are the only place with the trim restorer in stock). The thing is, the QD+ had one of the older paper labels and the spray and wipe isn't blue, which I know the newest version is...

    Different Synthetic Types

    I know that you can usually get an idea of how a product will work by what it is made of. In general, we all know that carnauba bassed products look best on dark cars and synthetics last the longest. But, there are a few different types of synthetic. You have Klasse which is an acrylic...

    Polishing Chrome

    I am going to be detailing a 80's Mercedes on Friday. The car has a lot of chrome trim so I was wondering what the best way to polish chrome is? I never had a car with chrome trim before so I am not familiar with it. What product should I use and how do you go about doing it?

    Final Inspection VS Last Touch

    Whats the difference between these two? I don't know much about either product but I hear good things all the time on the forum so I wanted to give em a try. All I know is that Last Touch is supposed to be almost exactly the same as Final Detail which it replaced. The problem is its almost...

    Putting Multiple Layers

    I've been thinking about putting multiple layers of a product, and I'm just not sure if its worth it. It seems to me that 1 layer is the point of deminishing returns. With each subsequent layer, the benefits continue to decrese. To give an extreme example, a car with 100 layers of UPP would...

    Vector Circular Polisher

    Anyone tried this? http://www.properautocare.com/veprcipo.html I currently only have a DA and I been thinking of adding a rotary to my detaling cabinet. At 70 bucks you can't beat the value. I don't have a whole lot of need for a rotary, I use my PC for almost everything so if this polisher...

    California Water Blade

    What does everyone think of this product? I picked one up a few weeks ago...I think it works great and all but I'm not sure if its putting microfine scratches into my paint. I think its great to use to just go over the car and get most of the water off, then go back and fnish up with a towel...

    Menzerna vs SSR

    I currently use Menzerna's Intensive and Final Polishes on my vehicles. Of everything Ive used so far, they produce the best results. I have never used any of the SSR's though, so I was wondering if anyone who has used both can tell me what the differences are. Which one do you like better...

    Is long term use of abrasive polishes a problem?

    I know that everytime you use an abrasive polish such as menzerna or ssr it takes a thin layer of the clear coat off the car to help reduce swirls and scratches. So in theory, there is a limit on how many times you can do this before you don't have any clear coat remaining. Should this be a...

    UPP vs EX vs EX-P vs WG

    Ok, I'm looking to try a new protectant for the summer but I'm not sure which one to spend my money on. I'm still pretty new to Detail city and since Ive been reading the forum, Ive been introduced to a lot of products that I hadn't considered in the past. So now i'm stuck between 4 products...

    KSG Application

    Just a quick question on applying KSG. Do you guys apply it directly over AIO, as in before you buff it off? Or do you first buff off the AIO and then apply the SG to clean paint?
