Folks I picked up my new car - it has the build date of 9/09 on the door jam ... I assume that I can put the PC on it with white pad and Menzerna SIP/Nano polishes now? The dealers put the standard layers of wax on it and there are a light swirls - this color looks GREAT - but it really...

Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices on a whim ... I went to the local Harbor Freight to buy a rotary - for 30 bucks, what the hey? Do I need a whole slew of new pads/backing plate/etc...? I didn't pay attention and thought I could use all the PC pads I have at...

my neighbors bought a very suhweet kitchen set about 7 months ago ... upwards of 3 grand ... yesterday, some idiot brought over a box of stuff that included tile samples which she set on the table and then proceeded to slide the box *(the cardboard box with the small hole across the bottom)*...

just curious ... is there a GUIDE for how many pictures to take during a detail? I'd be glad to provide the analysis of my detail this week - just so I don't tick anyone off with too many or too little photos? thanks!

curb got in my way and I scratched the low front spoiler on my 07 328XI ... its deep enough that polishing will not do any good? I used some wetsand to remove too much touch up paint on another car, seemed to go OK ... any thoughts on wetsanding deep gouges on the lower spoilers? if you...

I have PoorBoy's 2.5/1.0 ... both bottles are probably NOT going to last a season - I think I would like to try other products, since I can't try other women ... I'd prefer the 16oz versions of anything? Zaino products? Menzerna products? I have enough Optimum Compound to last 2...

2007 BMW 328xi finally cleaned up the BMW ... put almost 1000 miles on it in a week! some before's, some products used, some after's thanks for viewing! *(I'm just a hobbyist, so be gentle)*

OK folks, I pulled the trigger and dumped the gas hog Chevy Avalanche and picked up a 328xi Sparkling Graphite Metallic. *(fancy name for dark grey)* I would like to do some polishing, this car was a 6k demo ... I have PB's stuff and PC 7224. There are swirls and garbage from the...

UGH - I'm stricken with the new car bug again, its like the flu. every couple of years I get the itch to go buy a new car. suck up the negative equity and finance again for 5 years. I drove the TL-S, loved it! I stopped at the Infiniti dealer, G35x looked awesome! I have an appt to drive...

I'm a nice guy ... for the most part I carry my "stuff" up the street to a neighbors house, he's interested in detailing his truck ... 2 year old work truck, gets a regular wash by hand every so-often. its not pretty up close, but you guys have seen worse ...so we remove the tailgate...

I'm sure this is the "WRONG" place to post this question ... but I honestly think I have too much stuff! I found the site last spring, in a year I've got enough stuff to run a small shop ... I do our cars plus 2 or 3 family members since finding this site. I have a full cabinet full of...

My truck is FILTHY (embarrassing)! Does anyone just hit the local coin-ops and leave their vehicles sit outside during the winter? I spent WAY TOO many hours this summer on the truck to have it looking like crap! My garage has been booked all winter with indoor home projects (hardwood...

is this common? Add a spritz of your favorite QD with your abrasive polish? I work on a 1995 Tahoe (BLACK) yesterday ... I thought I would need Optimum Compound and Yellow pads *(that worked well)*, but the 2nd pass was with SSR2.5 and Orange pads, I've read that a little QD helps to...

is there a fix for bad touch up paint? you know, using one of those paint sticks that the dealer gives you to fill in the rock holes or bug chips? These spots were bad, but after the paint stick was applied, I think they look worse? was done over a year ago to the front of the car and the...
