    ORN Mixed with Water in a Spray Bottle

    I use the PB S&W for my cars, because I ran out ( it's on order) SO I decided to mix up a batch of ORN with water and use it in a spray bottle...So far it's worked very well. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

    Applying Wax with Bare Hand Only

    Over the weekend I was consolidating a few jars of PB Nattys red wax into one...It's a soft wax and when the heat from your hand is on it, it's even softer..So I decided to apply a coat to the hood of my car bare handed.It went on pretty thick ( I know that's not what you want) but it certainly...

    Chopper Detail

    I work with a local indy Harley bike shop. I do maybe two dozen bikes a year with him..What I love about doing these bikes is the scissor lift and the ability to lift each of the wheels, you can really dial the detail in.

    KIA Cloth Seat Cleaning???

    The new cloth seats in most cars today seem to present a challenge to clean. What I have found is they stain very easy even with water only stains. I have had reasonable success with Blue Coral spray cleaner. That said I do not have an extractor so that's not a option for me. I'm just...

    Interesting Detailing Story

    Local guy to where I live was featured in our home town newspaper. What I found interesting is the network of detailers that where hand selected for the detail work. Where does this list exist? And why am I not on it? I've been recognized by two larger motorcycle clubs as one of the best bike...

    I'd Like Opinions on This?

    Yesterday while looking and posting on Facebook, I saw this click add for $200 off auto detailing. I clicked on the link and it was going to email me a code and then allow me to book the appointment. I decided not to do that for obvious reasons. That said I looked up this detailer online, and...

    The Harley from Hell Detail

    This was a recent detail from the local Harley shop I work with. This Ultra Classic has set under a tree covered by a trap only since 2006. I started with a quick wash using PB soap then used FK1 Decam on it to clean everything off that I could. The rest of the grease areas where shot with...
