I had this 4" pad on my PC dialed up to 6 with Hyper Spray and I was working down low on my car. I lost my balance and had to pull the pad away from the car to regain my balance. Needless to say I had a lot of spatter, and the PC revved up to full throttle for a few seconds as well. After I...

I recently got a PC and pads and am trying to figure out the whole "how much product, which pad, how fast, thing". The picture attached is what is left over from Optimum Polish II on a 4" LC white flat pad after I have made 4 section passes and lifted the pad off the surface. While...

I am continually walking by my bins of MF towels and grabbing 2-3 to clean bird bombs, wipe down the interior, QD, etc. I end up with a handful of damp towels in each of my 2 towel sorting buckets at the end of the week and I hate doing a small load of towels. I usually end up waiting...

I have read the excellent articles by Accumulator and Superbee on their tried and true "NO MARRING" wash methods and among other things they both agree that when you mix your shampoo and water that suds are a no-no. I have seen a couple of washing videos on Youtube and they stress this same...

I bought a new 2008 4Runner last December. It had been sitting on the dealers lot since April and desperately needed detailing. I have her all squared away but I just cannot get all the rubber/vinyl trim and window moldings clean. Shampoo wont do it and I have been reluctant to try anything...

On my Audi TT there is a U shaped channel where the glass seal is on the front and rear glass. The gap is too small to get a MF cloth in there to scrub out the crud. Part of it is wide enough for a Q-Tip but most of it is too narrow. I am looking for a small paint safe brush that I can...

I like to treat my dash and other vinyl with 303 but I am wondering if doing it every month is overkill. Do you think that treating with 303 every 3 months and dusting weekly with 1Z Cockpit would cause any problems or weird reactions? Would the Cockpit remove the 303 if I just sprayed my...

Hello All, It appears as if Einszett products have kind of gone under the radar, so to speak. When I got serious about detailing a couple of years ago I really got to like many of their products, and stocked up on the ones I liked to cut down on shipping up here to Alaska. Now I am running...

Our water comes form a well, and while the water is cold and clear and delicious, it is also verrrrrrry hard, and leaves water spots on everything. The house had a water softener installed when we moved in but it has never been put into operation. If you all had the option would you fire it up...

Opened my first can of Meguiars High-Tech 26 last night and was suprised to find it very clumpy and grainy. Had a very hard time getting an even coat on the applicator and it seemed very uneven when applied. Bad can? Usual? Chilly

I did the first attempt at a total detail on Wifey's Audi TT and ran out of time and energy (mostly energy) after the wash and polishing. Will it hurt to go back this evening and do a quick detail with spray and micro towel and then proceed with the waxing? It has not been driven today if that...

The previous owner of my 02 Audi TT must have had a dog cause the back seat looks like %$#@. Is there a way to fix or hide the scuff marks that appear lighter than the rest of the leather? I just got some 1Z leather care and the seats look and feel great but the scuffs are still very...

Hello all, new to detailing and new to the forum. Lots of questions but will try to search and find answers before I pester the board. The first one I will go ahead and ask. Living in Alaska means 5-6 months when I cant wash in the driveway, and I dont want to have to fall back on the $10.00...
