I'm looking to get a vacuum for my personal detailing. I will get either a Metro Vac n Blow or a shop vac. I would like the blower, because water keeps getting stuck in the side mirrors and causing minor spots after I drive and get the water out. Thanks

So I got bored today on my day off, we get every other Friday off, and decided to detail my car. Started by cleaning the wheel wells. They were filthy. Used a very abrasive bug and tar remover with some elbow grease. Those things were filthy. Get the idea? That took about 30 min total...

I am looking at upgrading from my 2005 Mazda 3 SP23. I've done plenty of homework, driven plenty of cars and am undecided on what I should get. I just want some other opinions to tell me I'm not crazy. To give you a little background, I am in my early 20's, single with no kids. I have a 25...

I'm trying to post a new thread in car and driver, but it's giving me errors. Whenever I hit submit it just goes to a blank page. Is anyone else having any trouble. This is also a test to see if it works.

I am about to order products for my next detail. I already have the clay and a PC 7424 with hook and loop backing. I am working on a 05 Mazda 3 with Carbon Gray Mica paint, which is a very dark gray. This is what I'm looking at: Sonus Paintwork Cleaner Zaino Z2 with ZFX Zaino Z5 with...

Let me start out by saying that I'm not overly experienced. I have a PC 7424 with hook and loop backing plate. I clayed in the beginning of January, so I plan on skipping it this time. I have a 2005 Mazda 3 in Carbon Gray (very dark) that I plan on trading in soon. I want it to look stunning...
