I have been noticing that my MF towels don't seem to glide over the paint like they used to... This morning I tried to wet a MF towel to do a quick detail and the water just kept running right off of the towel! It was like the towel was waterproofed. I have been washing them with cheer and...

Someone hit my rear bumper in a hit and run in the parking lot a few days ago, right behind the passenger's side wheel. It left several horizontal scrapes, the biggest has a round spot about the size of a dime where the paint was removed. The other 3 scrapes are pretty much just lines. I am...

I came back yesterday afternoon and found my car like this... I was parked on the end of a row, with the passengers side exposed. The turn in to the parking lot was next to the passenger's side, I'm guessing they hit my car with the front corner of their car as they were entering or leaving...

This is after dawn, clay, SMR, and 2 coats of SG...

Some shops have these, they lay them over the front and sides of the car so when you lean over into the engine bay you won't accidentally scratch your car, or smear/streak up your detailing job. Anyone know where to buy these and recommendations on which one to buy?

I tried using EF clear pearl a few days ago and I might as well have tried using vaseline to detail my car... That stuff would smear and just not come off! Temp was probably 45~50 degress... Does the carnuba in it gum things up when it is cold? I tried some eagle 1 wipe N shine I had left...

Did you like the results? What were you using previously and how did it compare?

After using Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion, do I need to wash the car before applying a wax or sealant like klasse SG, zaino, or blitz? My finish is not lasting as long as I would like, I am thinking it is because I put SG over the PPCL. I buffed the PPCL off, but I didn't wash it off...

I haven't thought about this for a while, since here in MO most of the birds have changed their address for the winter. The other day I was driving and one flew just in front of my car at bumper level, barely making it across in time. Kinda of makes me think how people try and beat trains at...

I have always heard about steam cleaning an engine... My car is very new and has a lower shield on the engine, so I don't think its worth trying on the engine now... Thinking about trying it on the wheel wells though. I've never used anything like this before, it is made by Eureka and kina...
