Hey all, Im looking to detail my vehicle on my own. Im by no means a pro -- will be doing it all by hand. Id like to get rid of some of the swirls first with Autoglym SRP... at what point should I use this if I plan on doing a zaino detailing? Should I do it before the Zaino application...

i have access to a floor mat provider within my local region. He provides Automotive mats to a large majority of the companies in North America. I can get them pretty cheap (about $10 for a set of 4). It would make the job of detailing a lot easier for many of us... and Ive seen detailers buy...

Hey all, Got a question for all... Before I start, it should be stated that I do have a Makita rotary... This is mainly because my father owned a car dealership and weve had it... although I have never personally used it, or any other machine to polish my car... Always been by hand...

Quetsion for my fellow Canadians... Im looking to buy a UDM and would prefer to do so from a Canadian seller (to keep costs down). Unfortunately, none of our shops seem to carry it... Ive checked eshine and it doesnt seem to be there either. Any suggestions? Id order from the U.S as long as...

Car was waxed about 1.5 months ago with the expensive Zymol stuff by a detailing pro. The car doesnt bead water much now. Is the wax gone? Should I go ahead and rewax it? Ive heard some say it should last 5-6 months and others say it'll only last a month or two. Opinions?

I had a pro detailer come by and give my car the works... Excuse me for not knowing the correct terms... but he mainly clay bar'd, polished, then waxed... This was probably a month ago or so... My question is, can I zaino (Z2 + accelator) my car now or is that not gona bond? May be useless...

Hey all, my 1st post here. Great site :wavey Ive got myself a Makita 9227C and am looking for a backing pad that can handle 6' pads nicely. Any suggestions? Is there a general rule of thumb to make sure the BP is always smaller than the pad itself? Ive heard of some using a 6' BP with...
