The front wheels on my car (matte aluminum) are coated in a layer of yellow brake dust. I just wanted to know if this is any different than removing other kinds of brake dust build up - and what product would be the best for removing it. I think I read somewhere that Meguiar's Hot Rims Wheel...

I bought a 2007 Pontiac G6 in October of last year, and ordered it with “Ebony Nuance Leather�, and I have still yet to clean/condition the seats. How do I determine what type of leather I have, so I can choose the right cleaner/conditioner? Thanks.

I can't seem to find anything specific on the recommended drying time for Klasse SG. One post I found mentioned 20 minutes. So far I've been waiting for the SG to haze, and than buffing it off with a microfiber buffing cloth (similar to a paste wax application). Should I be letting the SG...

Saturday I was washing my car, and immediately after two passes with my sheepskin mitt I felt something underneath against the paint. There was a tiny black particle stuck in the mitt (which took quite a bit of effort to pull out) that left two long hairline scratches in the paint. They're...

Because Sonus products aren’t readily available in Canada, I was wondering what the alternatives are for Sonus Acrylic Spritz (to use on top of the Klasse Twins). I remember reading somewhere about mixing distilled water and SG…

In the tutorial “How-To Detail Tires & Wheelsâ€� Step 7 mentions: …spray the wheel well, brake caliper and suspension components with cleaner. Allow it to soak for 5 minutes… What cleaner would you guys recommend using for this? Thanks.

What are the alternatives to using the Klasse Twins (All-In-One and Sealant Glaze)? All of the tutorials here say great things about Klasse, but I've read a couple things about the formula being changed?

After claying, should the leftover residue from the clay bar and detail spray be removed prior to polishing? Or should it be left on? I read another website which says to leave it on, and than polish; but the tutorials here say to wash the vehicle after clay to remove residue before...

When my new car arrives from the factory I'll be asking the dealer not to wash or wax it. I'm looking for opinions on what steps I should take to detail the vehicle for the first time. So far I'm thinking: 1. Wash & Dry 2. Clay 3. Seal 4. Wax I would assume I can skip polishing and...

I was wondering if anyone out there is totally committed to a specific brand of detailing products. New car is on the way, and I'm looking to start a fresh collection.

I factory ordered a 2007 Pontiac G6 GT last week, and was wondering… Does anyone know what the dealer typically does to prep a car once they receive it from the factory? I’d prefer to detail the car myself for the first time, but I’m wondering if they do anything I might...
