Detailed my sisters 3 series BMW today, and it really needed it. She had it in california for four years, taking it through automatic washes and using nothing more than the automatics liquid wax to protect it. Needless to say it was swirled up really bad, had all sorts of dead bugs caked into...

They have this at my local Murrays and I have never herd of it before. My guess is its probably a snakeoil type product, since their other products include engine/tranny/radiator treatments. Anyone ever herd about it or even tried it? Its kinda funny that it comes with a spackle type...

Pretty simple, just wanted to compare some tire dressings side by side. I cleaned the tire with some Westley's Bleche-Wite, and a stiff bristled brush. Rinsed with a hose to get them clean. From there I used separate brand new tire swipes from eagle one, and buffed them each with separate...

I have had this stuff sitting around unopened for months. I picked it up just to give it a try, but never got around to it. Since I am going to strip down my klasse for blackfire & souveran next week, I figured I would give it a try and see how it turned out. Price: $12.76, more expensive...

Zymol's description: Price: It’s a pretty expensive product. I couldn't find it locally, so I ended up ordering it online. Zymol claims its retail value is $20 for 5oz, but I found it for $16.50 + s/h. Reason for using: After six years, my seals were getting somewhat stiff in...

I was talking to one of the detailers at the local german dealership, and he described to me a drying technique that sounds like it might work well, but I am still quite doubtfull. He does a normal wash, using all the proper methods (two bucket, three wash mits, etc). Once he is done he...

I just noticed today that I have two half-penny sized spots of clearcoat cracking. (my guess is this another byproduct of the dealership wash, ugh..) Looks just like the pictures here http://www.autoint.com/Bird%20Dropping%20Damages.htm Obviously the only fix is repaint, but would it be...

For those who read my last post, I am helping my family out by detailing the 95 911 so they can sell it. Here is a before shot, not a very good picture but you can tell that there is little shine, the paint doesn't look very warm, etc I washed it last week, but didn't have time to...

I am helping my family sell this beast, so pretty much just cleaning it up and making it look nice for those who want to look/test drive it. I only wish I could afford it myself at this time. It only has 24,000 miles (1995), but its been repainted twice.. and could probably have the front and...

Recently the dealership washed, swirled, and scratched my paint. Previously I had gotten up to 3 coats of SG, and had minimal swirling, so I had alot of work ahead to get my paint to the point it was before. Using the PC, SMR, and FI-2 I got almost all of the swirls out. Unfortunately there...

Put another layer of klasse on my hood today, and its very dusty out so dust got all over it while I was letting it cure. I would rather wash the hood of the car than use a qd to remove the dust, but I have never tried this with klasse so I have no idea if it will cause problems with that...

My windshield has been pretty weathered since the day I bought my car. The main problem I have had with it, is compared to many other cars I have been in it looks very foggy regardless if its cleanlyness. I have a bottle of AutoGLYM glass polish, but before I wanted to use a strong polish and...

I found this carpet cleaner in the home cleaning section of my local target, and decided to try it out. Until now I have been sticking to lifter1 carpet cleaner. Its a foam based cleaner, not specificly designed for automotive interiors but it actually works quite well. <strong...
