well this is a 85 toyota supra that my dad owns and he wants me to detail it for him. i usually detail cars that are in new condition so i really dont know what to use on it. its been garaged for most of its life but it doesnt look like it has been taken care of too much. there are deep...

i got a dent in the drivers fender and i have no clue where it came from but it looks like the clear coat is starting to pull away from the base coat. do you think this will need to be repainted. i got a quote from a shop for 550 for dent removal and repaint. seems a little high if you ask me...

i like to take my time in washing and drying my car so i dont scratch the paint but even when im working in the shade, i still get water spots by the time im finished. now aio takes them out easily but then it also takes my souveran off too. ive tryed qd's like zaino and poorboys s&w but some of...

whats the best way to safely and easily remove water spots from tinted windows without damaging the tint? ive tryed eagle one but it only works to some extent and still doesnt get them out. what about stoners or a mixture of vinegar? would this be safe for the tint?

im having the pleasure in owning my first black vehice and man does it get dirty and dusty fast. i am keeping most of the swirls out but want to know some more ways to keep them out. i allready use the 2 bucket technique and rinse mitt after every panel. i use austrailian sheep mitts (the really...

i thought my car was swirl free until i saw it today under gas station lights. what lights are those? halogen or flouresent? what would be some good recomendations that i could for my garage? you cant see any paint defect under my garage lighting but man was i sad when i was filling up the tank.

ok i have a jet black m3 and i still cant decide which sealant i want to use. i will use aio first and then top with a sealant and then pinnacle souveran. i need a good looking and very easy product to apply as i dont want to be rubbing hard because the paint is very soft so that is my main...

im detailing a 2004 lexus is300 that is msm (silver) i usually do dark cars so what combo would look best on it. i am starting with the polishing right now and need advise on what sealant or sealant/wax. i am polishing it out with ssr 2.5 and sonus pwc. which product should i use out of my...

i have a brand new 2005 bmw jet black m3 which has very soft paint. now i do not want any swirl marks at all so i am taking all the precautions possibly but i cant take 3 hours to wash my car 3 times a week either so how does this process sound? 1) spray down vehicle to remove as much dirt as...

i was wondering how many times you could safely detail a whole car by pc with medium abrasive products like ssr 2.5 or megs dacp without significant clear coat reduction. on some cars, this is the only thing that works on light swirls so i find myself using lots of coats on it and do not want to...

havent got around to using my ksg yet but i am planning on putting a couple of coats on my new jb m3. im going to put a layer of aio on before it so it can bond. what way gives you the best results? by pc (finishing pad) or by hand? if by hand what type of applicator? microfiber or foam or...

i have a black m3 with extremely soft paint so i need the softest wash mitt possible that would be the least likely to marr my paint. i have an autopia sheepskin mitt but it just feels course and dont really trust using it. whats better microfiber,sheepskin or chamois? and what is the best one...
