    Collinite 845 - "Insulator Wax" Application

    Well, I have a full bottle of this stuff sitting with the wax pack - Wolfgang, Klasse, P21S, NXT, so forth. After toying with it, I was wondering if there are any application tips/tricks for this stuff. I know that it's quite popular here, and I've yet to see someone totally hate it, but ...

    Wolfgang's Sealant - Smearing Issues

    I still have a bottle of this that I've been using off and on for some time. Now, I used it yesterday and inspected the paint today, and it's awfully ... well, smeary. Very "oily" appearance on the paint. I would imagine that this is because I do admittedly tend to put products on the paint...

    Aerosol tire dressing overspray - prevention / is it that bad?

    I've been trying the NXT "Xtreme Shine" aerosol recently. Sprayed onto a swipe and wiped on, it's pretty nice, if a bit unimpressive. Earlier this afternoon, after washing, I closed the garage door and sprayed the tires as neatly as I could. The tires look great, but like every other time...

    Tire Dressings - Is there such a thing as "neat spray"?

    I've been using Meg's Endurance on a swipe for quite a long time now (and am about to try the Black Magic gel that's kinda 50/50'd here on Autopia just for change). Of course, I've also tried Eagle One's - and Meg's "Hot Shine" - aerosol products. The dressing itself is good, sure, but ... the...

    Klasse SG removal, and water.

    Yeah, this kind of goes along with Bill's WOO method, but it's sort of a different question than what I had last posted. The way that works best for me, it seems, is to apply KSG with a dry applicator - doing the whole car at once - and then use two MFs (one wet, one dry) to remove. Now...

    Re: Bill's "Wipe on, Wipe off" method of using KSG

    Tried it today for the first time with a bottle of SG that's been sitting there for ... well, for a really long time. I had gotten a bit frustrated with its stubbornness. So, I used AIO to get the existing Wolfgang off the surface and provide the Klasse base and went to work with my former...

    Wolfgang: Layerability, and prepping.

    Couple things I just want to make sure: Wolfgang is as layerable as SG, right? And, After DACP, AIO *is* needed. Yes to both?

    Swirl marks that Scratch-X and SMR are having a hard time on.

    Basically, due to the buffer monkeys at a bodyshop awhile back, the hood and front fenders were all swirled to hell. Now, I've managed to get some of the lighter stuff out with Scratch-X and SMR, but the hood still looks, well, kinda bad. Am I looking at my first run with DACP? Any other...

    The black Vette is back home. (With lots and lots of swirls.)

    Little traffic accident in the black 'Vette - required just about all the front panels to be replaced (the apparent damage was less than that suggests). Anyway, somebody decided to leave lots and lots of swirls all over the hood and fender(s) that were brand-new and freshly painted. #9 w/...

    NXT - my little review.

    Well, my Autogeek shipment arrived today - bottle of AIO, NXT, the NXT wash, and a jar of P21S. Given that I had been driving around in the rain the past couple of days, I was glad to have that arrive with perfect timing - nice chance to try some new goodies. The NXT wash... I like it. A...

    Swirl Marks that aren't... you know, like streaking, but ... oh, hell. Read it. =(

    I'm assuming my fellow OCD'ers know what I'm talking about here. After you've spent so much time - in my case, I just started a series of SG coats on Wednesday - doing your baby, you see what look like swirl marks on a panel. But when you try to wipe them away, they actually disappear, but...

    Question for all the speeders here

    Alrighty, the age old question. Escort Passport 8500 or Valentine 1? I've been a user of the Bel 985 for about a year, and it is a decent piece. I recently got a V1 to try it out, and have just borrowed a friend's 8500 for comparison. So far, with repeated attempts, it seems that the V...

    GEPC = glazing capabilities?

    Just wondering. Does P21S's GEPC have any glazing properties, or is it solely a pre-carnauba paint cleaner and nothing else?

    Blackfire / Platinum bonding over glaze?

    That's my question. Can BF / Platinum really bond to a glazed surface? I have #7 + P21S on the 'Vette right now and love it. I'd think it'd be pretty cool to go with #7, Blackfire (or Plat), and topped with P21S. Also: Does Blackfire really look like a carnauba / "sort of" like one...

    Gunk Bug/Tar remover

    You know that Gunk bug/tar/(something else) remover? In the blue aerosol can? Anyone have any experience with this? I have a bunch of bugs stuck to the front of the 'Vette, and I couldn't find any Tarminator. So, I got that.

    SG curing...?

    Okay, why is it that people here want to let SG cure for a day? Is there any certain reason for this? Can someone be 100% positive that it is NOT possible to put layer no. 1 on, give a little time so it can be buffed, buff it, and hit it again with SG? Just wondering. I'd really much...

    PC, Klasse, (stuff)

    Got the PC the other day. Got to try it tonight... AIO'ed my mom's metallic silver SL. PC 7424 = :bow To be on the safe side, I took my time and kept it on speed "1" the entire time. Rub it on the paint, use just the buffer's weight to work it in, buff with a TW MF. Came out quite...

    Perma Plate

    I got a little care kit with the 'Vette the other day. "PermaPlate." Of course, I dunno just how good it is or anything, haven't tried it... just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

    PC Reassurance

    Subject line pretty much sums it up. It worries me... putting SMR on a white pad (or yellow if needed) and running the 7424 until it turns almost to powder, all in the same area of the paint. I'm kinda scared about swirling the clear to hell or removing it. Could someone explain how this...

    Standard transmissions; my impressions on my first run / thoughts

    Okay, some of you probably remember my new car / grad. present / Corvette post a month and a half ago or so. Well, one of the nagging questions for me has been: If, by some chance, I have the (incredible) opportunity to get one, do I go for auto or standard? Today, I drove a manual...
