    Chicagoland (Northwest suburbs) PROFESSIONAL

    detailer wanted. Long story boring, I have acquired a Black 2003 z06. The paint is in overall decent shape, but I need it polished to remove hazing left by the dealer, and there are 2 areas with fairly deep scratches that require some form of paint correction (if possible). I essentially want...

    Tuf-Shine preliminary review

    I have been looking for a long lasting tire shine for many years now. I stumbled upon this thread http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing-product-discussion/111096-long-lasting-tire-shine.html a few weeks ago and decided to give it a shot. I received my order of Tuf-Shine tire dressing prior...

    How do I find my own posts?

    I'm not a computer or internet forum noob for that matter, but I am having a hell of a time finding a way to pull up posts that I made on autopia.org. Is this forum not set up in that matter or am I just not finding it?

    Kind of a weird question here

    but a weird situation warrants a weird question :hmph: I bought my 05 Aspen White Subaru STi from Hindsdale Land Rover in (you guessed it) Hindsdale, IL. Long story short, they had the front bumper repainted (due to rock chips would be my guess) and there was overspray everywhere. Looked like...

    Searched, but came up empty. Does autogeek.net have a discount

    code or promotion currently, or a discount code for autopia members? I'm looking to buy a polisher and bunch of polishes/waxes and pads today. Was wondering if there was a discount code I could use. :D

    Looking for some help

    So I've been deciding on what products to buy to keep my Aspen White STi in tip top shape. I am thinking of going with quite a few Griots products (their buffer, orange and red pads, and polishes 1-4) along with Collinite 845 wax for that final, durable coat. I have bought Pinnacle Souverans...

    Wasn't sure where to post this

    as it is not so much a detailing question, but what do those that live in areas with snow use to clean their cars off in the winter without scratching them? Is that even possible?? I'm in Chicago and would like to keep my paint scratch free, even if I do have to get half a foot of snow off my...

    Whoa. I have NEVER seen a wax this durable.

    EVER. I bought an aspen white 05 Subaru STi about 2 months ago to serve as a dedicated daily driver in the Chicagoland area where I live. I searched the forums for the most durable wax, and ended up going with Collinite 925 (as I couldn't source any 845 locally, and they are the same rebadged...

    So either I suck at detailing, or Im doing something wrong

    I messed up the finish on my bike about 2 weeks ago (pearl black sportbike) and I now have major swirl marks on the tank and bodywork. The products I was using were Meguiars polishes and swirl removers (something along the lines of these: meguiars.com: E-Store /Professional (Mirror Glaze...

    So im getting my car back tomorrow after a repaint

    I have a '95 300ZX that has just been repainted. All of the trim was taken off prior to paint. My question is on the "gassing off" process. How long does this actually take and how exactly does it work? The owner of the shop told me not to wax the car for 3 months but my research tells me that...
