My black truck was massacred by my last detailer when getting polished. Am looking to try someone new and found this company in the general area I live. Tender Car Auto Detailing: Automotive Detailing & Cleaning. Milwaukee, Wisconsin Let me know what ya'll think! Just nervous to get...

I had my truck detailed last fall before winter hit and when I took it out of storage this spring, there were quite a few swirl marks on most of the vehicle. I never washed it after because it sat inside a storage unit all winter and I see no reason why the swirl marks would have formed so I...

I have a 2005 Ram Dodge Ram and the Overhead Console (OVC) rattles when I have my music up loud. Does anyone know a way that to get inside it to see what is rattling? The only entry point that I could find would be the light lenses but I am unsure how to get those off. Any help would be...

I live in Menomonie (Stout Student) and would like to get my truck detailed in the next month. My ride is an 05' Black Dodge Ram and is in need of wash/polish/wax. Any information would be appreciated. -Dusty

I am using a compound and a polish from 3M for my swirly 05 Dodge Ram with a Makita PC. How many passes should I expect to do to take our the swirls using the compound and then the polish? I know this is hard to judge without pics of how bad the marring is but I would rate it as light to...

I have been researching PC and my dad told me that I could use his if I wanted. It is a Master Mechanic Model MM900 Type 2 120 volt AC 50/60 Hz .65 amp. That is all the information I could get on it and couldn't find it on the internet. Here is one that looks similar. Motor City Tools...

My family (mom/dad/brother/myself) all need their cars polished because they have swirls. We're all going to throw in for a porter cable and all the neccesary equipment in order to polish a car. Does anyone know of any kits that you save money on because it all comes together? Thanks, Dusty

I fall asleep reading a lot and usually wake up in the middle of the night because my light is still on so I have been trying to think of a way in which I can turn my light switch off (across the room) without getting out of bed. Has anyone ever rigged up a string or something else that will...

I just transferred from a small college to a larger school that has an abundance of cute girls. I'd like to hear some advice from some fellow autopians on how they go about breaking the ice with a single girl or a group of girls (3+). As of now I have a couple routines that I made up which...

My Black truck is going to be in need of a light polish to remove some swirls that I have acquired (acquiring) and I am in debate of buying a PC and the proper supplies to do it myself. However, I am not sure how much all of this would cost. I am a college student and on a small budget and...

I have been doing a lot of research (Autopia Guide to Detailing, Forum Archives) and there is not much said on the long terms effects of polishing. It is to my understanding that everytime you polish your paint, depending on the severity of your swirls, scratches, etc. you are taking off a...

I am 21 years old and a full-time student and began working for this company about a year ago just to make ends meet as I go through college. I made sure the employer knew I would work part-time and that school is my number 1 priority. I am transferring schools in January and will be moving...

I am pretty new to detailing and as of now do everything by hand, no pc YET (santa??). This is my first click and brag so hopefully all the pictures work. Let me know what you think. All the work listed below was done at the local do it yourself when the weather was less than "appealing"...

Was wondering if anyone has used or heard anything about this companies products. They're relatively cheap and seem to be pretty high quality. I am just looking to get some products for this winter that I can trash in the spring.
