At the norcal meet f150bob had some S100 and it was white. Mine has always been yellowish, from the time I bought it. Did either of us get a bad one or something? Both apply and perform the same. :nixweiss

I read the RC51 thread about cleaning sportbikes, very informative :D. I get my katana this evening and plan on give it a thorough cleaning this weekend. Can't ride it legall yet, so might as well. Is it ok to spray it down w a garden hose? Or just a spray bottle of water? It's not super...

I have the DAP-KIT and 2 MF bonnets, so what can I use the terry bonnets for? I thought about using it for AG, not sure what else. btw, the "gray" finishing pad is black to me...got me all confused :D

The search only pulled up Ozzfather using the PC with VM on a Chevy 1500. Anyone else use it and have any tips? I just work it until the product is gone like any other polish, right? Thanks!

So I have some VM, AG, and mother's scratch kit sealed in some ziploc bags in my closet. No garage, so how do I keep my place from smelling like a paint shop?? The scratch kit is in two bags, but I think it's still getting out :(

So my gf's tan '97 accord has some paint on the rear bumper starting to flake off, about 1.5" in diameter if I peel all of the flaking paint. I obviously can't use the mother's scratch kit or scratchx. Do I just remove the flaking paint and sand the remaining area (what grit?). Will I need to...

I got a nifty power cord/reel thing at HD with a 100ft extension cord and three outlets on the reel. The watt rating is ~1800 watts. My worklight pushes 1000 watts. The ridgid 9 gal uses 325 watts. I'm not sure what the 7424 is (3.7 amps x ? volts). Am I safe using the worklight and either...

I did a search and came up with nothing regarding the physics of color, specifically why certain colors/shades can or cannot have the deep and wet look. Here is what I know: Color is hue, saturation, and intensity -hue is the wavelength, red the longest and violet the shortest -saturation...

Well, better get it all now before the gf (she doesn't know yet) or wife (yikes) has control of the $$$ I guess. Got the coastaltool 7424 bonus kit and the DAP-KIT from CMA. Now I gotta wait 7 days until it arrives and memorial day weekend to give it go.....hey, that's pretty good timing :D...

this past weekend I did a exterior only wash/polish/wax on a black '95 accord (pics in my gallery). For the life of me I could not get the front clean using mother's car wash, a chenille wash sponge (from cma) and OXO brush. Various tough water spots and embedded dirt/crud just stayed there...

ok, a black 5th gen accord I did (before): after using mother's scratch kit, no touch up paint: and a shiny pic of my car :D btw, I tried plexus on a light window tint scratch and it did nothing. I just sprayed, waited a few seconds, and wiped off. Any ideas? thx Autopia!!

I got to thinking (uh oh :) ) about why I had so much difficulty with #9 a couple weeks ago on my car (01 Accord) and an Integra GSR. After claying a car using the claymagic bar and lube I used some #9 on some swirls. Taking the stuff off was much much harder than usual. I know I added some...

for those that don't know what I'm talking about, I'm trying to take out the scratches on the display of my skyfi receiver: I tried Plexus, but it's kind of hard to spray onto a 1"x3"ish panel. Would the meg's plastic polish work just as well or better?

what do you do for jobs where there isn't access to a garage with the super-friendly fluorescent lighting? I have a couple jobs coming up where I'll probably do some plastic and glass polishing. I thought about getting one of those portable work lamps from home depot and using it in the...

eh, glass polish is eluding me these days, can't find it anywhere. I managed to find Plexus for plastics at Cycle Gear, but can't find meg's glass polish. Called West Marine and the guy said they don't carry it (although someone here said they got it from there), harley shop doesn't have it...

I'm too lazy to find the thread, but remember someone mentioning cutting a clay bar into a piece per panel. I tried it out on my car (4dr 01 Accord) a while back and I stopped after two panels. Here are my findings: - I cut the claymagic bar in half for my car as I usually do - started to...

Eh, this isn't a complete review or anything, just my .02 on a semi-noob's experience: Ok, the mother's scratch/chip repair kit runs about $20 and is available online only (for me at least). The liquid is some kind of mild laquer thinner with a thicker consistency. The stuff is hecka...

I'll post pics as soon as the owner emails me the pics we took (someone borrowed my digicam). Did my car this morning from 7-11am. A black integra from 2-7ish: : wash, 303, clay, attempt with #9 and scratchx, VM, s100, mother's QD, etc etc.. Tried to use the #9 and scratchx, but it was hecka...

i have a scratch on the rear passenger-side quarter panel, about 3 inches and 1/2" scratch on the bumper. It went down to bare metal so I know scratchx won't work, doh. Took it to Autobahn in Mountain View and they want to replace the entire panel and repaint the entire bumper....4 days and...

well, not beer, but you know what I mean :). I've been wetting the pad a little with some QD for meg's #7,#9 and #26. No need for s100. Using QD is fine for just my car, but I think it'll get kind of expensive for a bunch of other cars I do. I think using water would be the same, but my...
