I don't understand you spray soap all over your car let it set then rinse it off?Seems like its more for show then effectiveness. Or am I missing the point of the whole thing?

In this age of Nano everthing I was wondering why car makers can't produce a trim that doesn't fade or turn white when touched by wax. I'm not sure how many of us there are but I do know we probably know a lot more about thier products (cars) then they think we do. We could have a car...

Just wondering if the paint on a ford or Chevy or vw ect. Has produced the best results in your years of detaling. Or are all paints capable of achieving pretty much the same results?

I like to go to the Harley shop and check out what products they carry. Most cycle owners are freaks like us an insist on only the finest product for thier bikes. It's a great place for chrome polish and they have some interesting brushes you don't find every where. Mine Carries S100,ps21 and a...

I just started detailing my cars an they look great. Now all my friends and family want me to do thier cars, here is my problem. I buy really good products and they expect you to do things dirt cheap for them. Hell I'm using up product and not covering the cost of supplies not to mention my...

Seems like people don't really care much about keeping thier cars up now a days. Is it just me or have some of you noticed, seems like one out of fifty look like any one has bothered to wash and wax. Maybe I'm just getting a little nuts.

I have been reading for some time now,learning and buying equipment and supplies. This is one of the first cars I've done. Optimum Hyper Polish w/h microfiber polishing pad. It didn't need compound. Opti Seal and OCW turned out pretty good. I thought it lacked the depth a paste wax would offer...
