Well there it is, an acronym list for detailing. I think it will be of benefit for everyone, especially the noobs. If I missed anything, shoot me a PM or reply this thread . . .

 

OS for OptiSeal. Damn fine list Danny, you deserve something, i just dont know what............A round of applause for Haw!!!!

 

Great list!

How about IW and 845 for Collinite Insulator Wax?

It's going on the car next week for the fire season, I mean Arizona summer....

 

Great list, now I'll understand when I read around here...

 

Patrick, I guess I spaced out on that one and I was looking right at it. doh! I'll try to get it edited . . .

Stogie, 845 is listed under the #s heading . . . and Super Double Coat should be 476s.

There were some other items I didn't list mainly because they're not brought up or discussed as often. We'll see how it goes . .

 

Awesome info, thanks for the work and help

 

ARRRRGH, I missed it.....

 

awesome list. I have always wondered what some of those are. I know most of them, but a few always catch me off guard.....


MAKE THIS A STICKY!!!!

 

stuck.

 

what about udm? I still don't know what it means

 

nevermind I figure it out

 

man thats a lot to remember

 

^ That's no joke!

 

What about UDM??

 

Good stuff...nice Avatar too

 

I think this list could use some updating due to the new products that have come to market in the two years since the OP posted this wonderful list. This is what I've got. If somebody has some more, feel free to add.

105 - Meg's Ultra-Cut Compound
205 - Meg's Finishing Polish
SIP - Menzerna Super-Intensive Polish
PFW - Lake Country Purple Foamed Wool Pad

 

Thanks for this acronymn list from a forum n00b!
Computer acronyms I can handle but "UPP" had be baffled.

Mojo

 

Porter Cable Ultimate Detailing Machine - a popular dual action buffing/polishing machine

(see autopia car care or properautocare.com)

 

I'm curious where these acronyms came from...

 

We've acquired them over the years, and they are rather universal as well.

 

you can add AG CWC-AutoGlym Custom Wheel Cleaner

 

Why dont you have anything listed for Mother's products? I understand not having Zymol up there since most people wont even spend the $15 for thier mainstream cleaner wax which shines great but doesnt last long but the way. But you ignore Mother's and promote Meguiars products which besides Black Magic are the worst products on the market! Why?

 

This is awesome, didn't expect you guys to have acronyms for these lol

 

Is there any updates to the list? I was talking to someone at Meguiars the other day and they mentioned the 20 is more of a cleaner sealant that cleans off any contaminants and protects.
