    Looking for a half-car cover, or just for the roof.

    For a 2012 Yukon XL, I am looking to cover the roof and windshield, mainly the flat surfaces. I`ve seen a couple cheap ones but never really thought about a cover for half the vehicle. There will be times I need to keep it outside and the trees can really drop a number of presents. Basically...

    2002 black envoy needs some TLC

    I haven't entirely neglected the paint but it needs some attention. What I have is a PC with an array of pads, I understand a Flex is the hot ticket but I need to get by with my PC for now. Last time I went over the exterior with the PC was last year, :(... no acid rain damage, just some light...

    Where did the time go

    Should be considered the "Hot tub time machine". I can't believe it's been 5 years since I have posted here but the 1 YO baby girl is now 6 and the boy is 3. Wow, someone slow the clock. Good to be back, we have sold our Jetta and I still have the black envoy and now....a van. But it's a...

    Dealer to fix acid rain damage

    Natty's blue question

I have a black envoy and seems like whenever I use the NB it just doesn't want to cooperate with the KSG. I use very small amounts of each and just barely use any of the KSG. The surface looks good with...

    Surface looks bad after detail

    Not sure how to title this one but the car is a dark green 99 Jetta and I think the surface either needs a rotary or different compounds. I washed with NXT, clayed, PC'd AIO and the glazed with Klasse HG. The car has been neglected in the detail dept but should I try a more abrasive polish with...

    Black SUV needs TLC

    I have an 02 Envoy and while there is a slight shine there are many light swirl marks, and light oxidation. Being black I have been afraid to hit it with a polish or cleaner in thinking I would produce even more swirls. I know there is a trick to getting black to look like a mirror and deep, but...

    Nu-B with some ?'s

    I just want to say hey to all and commend you on an extremely informative site. I have some of the worst specimens, a black SUV and a german car :) I thought I knew alot about detailing until I started poking around on this site. My Envoy is 3 years old and the paint is in good shape, but it's...
