I'm picking up a 911 convertible on Saturday, and I'm trying to get my ducks in a row as far as detailing goes. I've never had a convertible, so I'd like to get some recommendations on the type/brand of brush you guys use to clean fabric convertible tops. I've read NOT to use synthetic...

I spent the day detailing my the nicest xmas present I've ever bought my wife--a new Range Rover HSE. A couple of things came up today that I know the experts here can handle... My process: Wash with ONR Clay Magic Hit a few spots with the PC (Optimum Compound/Optimum Polish) AJ Trigger...

Thought about breaking out the orbital today, but just couldn't justify it yet (the car only has 2500 miles.) So just a quick "get ready for winter" detail. Process: Wash with NXT Clayed a few areas with Clay Magic AJ Trigger Zaino Z6

Just received some FK 425 from Pakshak along with some new MFs. What a great QD! I had washed my car a few days ago, but it had a little dust and spotting here and there. Amazingly slick, and it smells like bubble gum! I was amazed how my white BMW gained depth after one application of this...

Your car has been recently detailed and is looking good. You make a quick errand run around dusk and you come home. The front of your car is smattered with about a dozen remnants of various bugs. The rest of the car is still fine. Do you get the hose out? Small bucket with a little water...

I searched....I really did. Seems there's no clear consensus on what is best for BMW's Nappa leather. My M Coupe's Imola Red seats have a very "matte" finish that I don't want to screw up. I have the Sonus leather cleaner and conditioner that I've used with great success in my Acura. But the...

I polished my TSX a few months ago, using Lake County pads (orange and white.) I just purchased a BMW Z4M Coupe, and was going to do a bit of PC work on it today. I pulled out my pads, and they are moldy! I thought I had cleaned them out very well (used the pad rejuvenator stuff), and I...

I used my PC for the first time today (posted pics in the Click n' Brag.) Overall it went well, but I had some issues some of you can help me with. 1. How do you polish narrow areas like the A-pillar? I'm using 6.5 inch LC pads, and I didn't want to run up between the trim pieces in such a...

Finally got the time and the weather to try out the PC I got for Xmas. Awesome! My process was: Wash with NXT Clay with Clay Magic Optimum Compound on LC Orange (just a few spots) Optimum Polish on LC White AJ Trigger My original plan was to go OC->OP->Poli-Seal->AJT. The car just...

You guys must get tired of these threads, but I can't help myself.... I've got a 2004 Acura TSX in satin silver metallic. My regimen thus far has been NXT wash, Clay Magic clay bar, and P21S. It honestly looks pretty good (gotta love silver), but I'd like to get more serious with my...
